Is RegeneSlim a Scam?

From the people who brought you Regeneca...

Looks like WatchDog was on the money:

I see three possible outcomes...

2) They try to stay open, stop selling Regenerect all together ( I don't see any way they can keep selling it, even with new labeling, packaging, ingredients, whatever - it's dead ) and instead try to launch a new product line - my guess is a weight loss product or some other diet product. This is risky, as the FDA is going to scrutinize everything that comes out under the Regeneca label.

Regeneca has launched a new weight loss product, and what I find most ironic after the FDA actions regarding Regenerect, how how it was lab tested NOT TO CONTAIN the exact ingredients it turned out it did contain, the web site for the RegeneSlim Appetitite Control product says, in BOLD:

RIGOROUSLY TESTED

RegeneSlim is made in the USA from premium quality ingredients. Designed with your safety in mind, batches of RegeneSlim are tested in an FDA and DEA Registered Analytical Laboratory*

( The asterisk says "All batch testing can be accessed on this site" )

Before the Renerect meltdown, Regeneca stated that the lab testing results were available to be viewed at their offices and that they were kept in a safe.

I could not find the link to the above mentioned batch testing for RegeneSlim. And pardon my skepticism if I'm not comforted by the promises that the product was designed with my safety in mind. It implies a level of concern that probably should have been displayed when the company was distributing the woody-pills that contained a prescription analogue that comes with a list of warnings a mile long, especially for heart patients.

A thirty day supply or RegeneSlim costs $96.65 when you include shipping and handling.

I don't see anything unique about this product that makes it worth the cash.

The two patented ingredients in the product appear to be ChromeMate and SuperCitrimax.

180 capsules of Chromate Citrimax are available from Amazon for $28.95.

Walgreens sells Natrol Super CitriMax Plus with ChromeMate Dietary Supplement for ....$9.99.  Yes, Nine Dollars and ninety-nine cents for 90 tablets.

The RegeneSlim 30 day supply doesn't say how many tablets it includes. It would have to have about 864 tablets in their "30 day supply" to give the same value as the Walgreens version.

Unless all that extra value is in the "proprietary blend" which includes Kola Nut Extract ( 10% ), Green Coffee Bean ( 50% ), and a bunch of other chemically sounding stuff that I won't waste my time typing here.

Unless it contains gold or platinum dust, I don't know how that price can be justified. And aren't the primary benefits of Kola Nut and Coffee Bean the caffiene? Are these just glorified caffiene diet pills?

But to be fair, selling an overpriced product doesn't make RegeneSlim a scam.

lol, it just never ends. I'm not going to go on a tirade about how amazed I am that they are still in operation, but definitely an awesome catch on Watchdog again. I honestly thought they'd have changed names and everything. They must simply assume that any publicity is good publicity, which is true if you're a Hollywood actor or actress, but seriously, who in the hell is still giving them money? Anyway, by no means do want to redirect anyone from this thread, but I made a post in which I direct people to this one, basically trying to cover Regeneca's history thus far, and its a pretty blatant calling for everyone to simply stop giving these people money.

You know neither of those ingredients are anything special, I wonder why they are trying to make a formula out of them. I didn't realize all of this stuff happened with Regenerect until I read it on these boards awhile back. I was going to joke and suggest that RegenSlim would probably have the long outlawed substance ephedra in it, but I can't imagine they would try anything like this again after being caught the first time.... would they?

Great, that's all we need now is more douchebaggery. So they take a little chromium, and whatever else should be in there and try for the weight loss market. I would laugh but I'm really disgusted with these jerks. Avalon I'll bet you any money they probably WOULD stick ephedra in there, these guys could care less as long as the initial launch proves to be effective. The only thing I don't get is why they never changed names, like Wallace said, I don't understand... I don't even know if I'm more pissed off that they are still producing stuff or if its necessary to have yet another dieting product. What the hell is wrong with this country? You want to lose weight stop eating so much and freakin MOVE! I personally wouldn't put so much as a tic tac in my mouth if it was affiliated in any way with any company that has any member that has anything to do with Regeneca and I hope they flop so fast that they end up being little more than an amusing memory.

$89 for a 30 day supply of poor judgment.

This company has no business whatsoever marketing anything that you can ingest. I find it simply amazing that RegeneSlim even has a following at all. Does anyone have any information regarding any comments made by Regeneca in regard to the Regenerect fiasco? I have yet to hear an explanation from anyone. It reminds me of a child that has been caught taking from the cookie jar and instead of acknowledging the fact, they have opted to just remain silent and act as if it never happened. With an attitude like this, and a set of laws that do next to nothing about it, its no wonder this new product is being peddled.

Rick,

this is for you ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKs0oEIVOck

... I don't even know if I'm more pissed off that they are still producing stuff or if its necessary to have yet another dieting product. What the hell is wrong with this country? You want to lose weight stop eating so much and freakin MOVE!

Amen to that Travis, I don't even know what to say to be honest. The things a company can get away with are simply amazing to me. I'm going to keep up on this and see if I can't get anymore legal info. I already have very little faith in the government, but if they can't manage to enforce the law and make consequences not just for people that park in the wrong place, but also for companies that sold a potentially dangerous product, then I give up completely.

lmao, I just put that video on my Facebook, thanks for posting it, I had never seen it before. I agree with Rick completely on this one. Its not that I can't sympathize with overweight people, especially since I have been known to go up and down a few waist sizes every year, but Its always been a choice for me. I knew perfectly well anytime I was eating too much pizza or sitting around too much there was no mystery. I've taken full responsibility, and when it came time to correct it, I did in fact, move more and eat less. I have a tendency to feel as though people who join weight watchers, or take diet pills or need the help of an mlm of all things to get healthy; are robots. Vacant machines that feel a bit overwhelmed by a relatively simple ordeal. I know some people are food addicts, and I can understand why, so I'm not picking on people with chronic weight issues, its just that crowd that somehow doesn't understand the concept, and would prefer to put such terrible chemicals and pills in their body than to simply get up and live. Contrary to popular belief, some discomfort is worth its weight in gold. Its a balance that comes with life, and its important that people embrace it. If you spend too much time with the person you love, it becomes numb and loveless. So time away and missing them is necessary. If you sleep too much you will eventually get insomnia, so being tired is ok too sometimes. If you have sex 4 times a day, chances are you're going to experience some lack of excitement. Ok scratch that last one. You get the point though; too much of anything automatically equates to being worth nothing. Exercise hurts in a way, it hurts your body at first, it runs you out of breath, makes you sweat, forces your blood vessels to open, and will leave you sore. After your body adjusts however, you begin to feel as much pleasure as you felt pain.

You don't need Regeneslim, nor weight watchers or anything like it. Just eat less move more, like Carleen's video says :)

Obesity is an outcome of this wonderful world of excess that we live in...  I watched a very interesting documentary on this topic; wish I could remember the title.  (I am not talking about Biggie Size Me although I did find that interesting as well.)

It is unfortunate that "simply" eating less and moving more is so very difficult for some people, but behaviors and addictions are not easy to change.  I have a few behaviors that I'd really like to change, but haven't...  and I am pretty dang happy that they (the behaviors that I'd like to change) are not visible to every single person who can see me...  (Unlike for those that over-eat... )

Well, we all have some of those behaviors, I think its human nature. For some people it could be a substance, for others an emotional mechanism, but I think its part of being human. We definitely live in a world of excess, especially in the west. I watched super size me, I enjoyed it. There was another one I just caught on Netflix not long ago called Bigger, Faster, Stronger. It's about 3 brothers, two whom are taking steroids, and one that is against them and trying to explore what it is that causes men and women to go as far as they do to achieve a higher sense of self worth. There's a main focus on the steroids but it also has a kind of subtle focus on image and self worth in general, I really enjoyed it. As for Regeneslim, what can I say.... Products like this thrive on that inability for some of us to take control of our demons, and those of us that don't realize how simple it really is on a technical level.
