Answer:
No. Extensive clinical research has demonstrated no ill side effects with any medications or other supplements.

That’s all there is to it!

In 2013 both owners of Plexus say their products work!
Plexus had their first "diamond ambassador" in March 2013, Sheila Medina.
Sheila did an interview that published August 2014. She was asked:
"What is the "secret" to your success?"
"My belief in the product, the company and its executives on a scale from 1 to 10 is an 11+!!
When you have a belief that is so strong, it makes it very simple to share our products and our opportunity."
"What advice would you give to someone entering network marketing?
"Belief in your company and its products are key. Never compare your success with others, seek your own path."
It's not certain if Sheila Medina did this interview before or after the next Plexus Slim change, but it really doesn't matter. She never mentioned any changes in the product she had been selling for the past 5 years!
Shame on you Sheila!
I would love to see your correspondence with your team, downline, and even one facebook post regarding product ingredient changes.
Your flogging a non-existent product. Some think you know that.
Someone get this liar off the air!
She's just so excited to be a small part of The 2015 Opportunity Tour in Canada!! #Canadaherewecome #PlexusTorontoOpportunityEvent
What do you mean #Canadaherewecome ? You've been building a team here for years? Dirty Diamond!

It has been said that every body is different and the way Plexus Slim works will also be different.
Do we really know what side effects people are having with plexus
or what the dangers are?
Is this product safe and effective?
Why do they keep changing the formula all the time, but still have the product works exactly the same way each time?

I heard at one point Plexus was causing people to have heart attacks and strokes. So not sure I would ever trust a company like that. Very informative post. Thank you.
