Talk to your doctor to see if a weight-loss supplement is right for you. Your general practitioner will also be able to review the ingredients in the type of Plexus you choose to use, and make sure that the included chemicals are safe for ingestion. Your doctor may also discuss the possibility of side effects based on the medical and chemical ingredients of Plexus. Weight-loss supplements operate by suppressing your appetite, making you feel less hungry than you would otherwise be. They may also increase your metabolism. Plexus products are not medication and have not been medically evaluated. To ascertain their effectiveness, medications are run through double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trials. Plexus has not been put through these tests, so its claims to effectiveness are essentially unproven.  This does not mean that Plexus is ineffective. However, since its claims to effectiveness and its ingredients have not been medically evaluated, it’s impossible to medically determine if Plexus products have the effect that the company claims. In general, weight-loss supplements work best when paired with lifestyle changes, including exercising and eating healthy foods. For example, Plexus Slim, the company’s primary product, contains chromium, Garcinia cambogia extract, green coffee bean extract, and alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Independent studies performed on these four substances have indicated, for example, that ALA and green coffee bean extract may provide slight help with short-term weight loss. The majority of studies have been relatively inconclusive. While Plexus products may be fine weight-loss supplements, they should not be taken to help with serious medical conditions. The manufacturers of Plexus were notified by the FDA in 2014 that their online product descriptions contained misleading language.  While some of this language has been removed from the Plexus website, the site still incorrectly claims that Plexus products help with medical issues. Despite claims to the contrary made by the makers of Plexus, the product will not have any effect on symptoms of autism, multiple sclerosis, jock itch, or fibromyalgia. The Plexus Ambassador program promises a large income and various bonuses (a luxury car, vacations, etc.) to individuals willing to sell Plexus to their family and friends. Ambassadors only gain income by recruiting new Ambassadors with similar promises of a large income and financial bonuses.  However, the initial income for Ambassadors is very low, and is offset by the annual membership fees and mandatory monthly Plexus wholesale purchases. In short, the Plexus Ambassador program is a pyramid scheme.
