A warning from Health Canada: there may be a serious health risk for anyone taking a weight loss pill distributed from Vancouver.
It’s called Savage Cuts, an ultra-concentrated weight loss aid that claims to increase metabolism.
But the formula contains Yohimbe, a prescription drug that “should be used only under the supervision of a health care professional.”
“Serious side effects include increased blood pressure and heart rate, anxiety, dizziness, tremors, headache, nausea, and sleep disorders,” said Health Canada spokesperson Andre Gagnon.
“They have not been approved by Health Canada and that means they have not been assessed for safety, effectiveness or quality.”
The product is being distributed from Vancouver to locations all across the country.
