Recently, this very popular weight loss product was discontinued over much controversy about an alleged "sketchy" ingredient. This ingredient is (again allegedly) a methamphetamine-related compound (VERY lossley related to Proline) hidden under the label ingredient AminoSlim-4.
"AminoSlim-4 is a combination of four energizing amino acids (Tyrosine, Proline, Tryptophan, and Carnitine) that have been structurally enhanced to create a powerful fat burning, mood elevating, and appetite suppressing effect."
Prroline always looked suspect to me, as it is a structural component amino acid (vs. Tyrosine/Tryptophan). Regardless, it brings up the issue of: Who do you Trust?
You'll find no labeling shenanigans in MASS products. In fact, MASS goes to great lengths to ensure what's on the label is in the bottle:

Consumer Alert: Possibly BIG trouble with Slim Xtreme
You bring up a good topic for discussion, Rob.
People are generally very trusting when they hear the term "amino acid" and assume it's *got* to be all natural and safe.
That's hardly the truth of the matter, and some really weird stuff can be cooked up yet still technically be called an "amino acid".
BTW, here is the most visited page which goes fairly in depth as to our testing/research and has links to a lot of other resources regarding specific items and so on... https://bodybuildingsupplements.com/testing.html
