Gastric bypass in a bottle: Warning

Zetacap, "the first in the world – only pill gastric bypass." An outrageous claim – still has not stopped more than 200,000 people to use product.ZetaCap is part of a multitude of pills sold by Selmedica Healthcare. The pill you fill your stomach with a 'gelatinous glob' – reducing cravings.

The site Zetacap fails to provide nutritional information for their product – but many speculate that it is simply a fiber supplement. Obviously, you could get a similar effect by eating low calorie foods high density fiber – or a fiber supplement such as Metamucil (psyllium husk) to about one-seventh of the price.

Overpriced

The problem with many supplements as Zetacap is not necessarily the product – but completely over-the-top claims and exorbitant prices. Many of these supplements are simple mixtures of herbs – but are sold and marketed as if they were miraculous treatments.

Positive testimonials for Zetacap are a dime a dozen – as well as many complaints of bloating and constipation. One month's supply (delivered) costs about $ 75.00 – a lot of money for a little 'fibers.

A family history

Read the fine print tells the true story. Customers who have made testimonials were compensated with the product for free. Some of the photographs are paid models. The only link on the site Zetacap pointing to "documented research" has returned an error. It is not a good sign. Selmedica also has a fairly large file complaint at the Better Business Bureau.

If those 200,000 customers buy a single bottle – which is 13.4 million dollars in revenue for Selmedica. Not bad for the hosting of a website page 3 and the sale of a fiber supplement.

Be careful with the snake oil salesmen – spend money on good nutritious food, and learn to make changes for life to improve your health and fitness.
