Nutritional Supplement Reviews by Real People Like You

First, let's get more of mystery behind the program out of the way. The Serotril program consists of two pills, The first, Serotril "A" which contains 300mg of Hypercin (St. John's Wort) and 5mg of Inositol, a family of B complex. The second pill is Serotril "B" which consists of 100 mg Pantothenic Acid, another complex of vitamin B. You take one Serotril A with breakfast, and one Serotril A and one Serotril B with lunch. Since these are merely St. John's Wort and different complexes of vitamin B, right off you see that you can duplicate the "Serotril" formula quite easily at ANY local health food store (and probably MUCH CHEAPER).

From what I gather, St. John's Wort is supposed to work as a substitute for the fine feeling you get after eating meals high in carbohydrates (which raise your serotonin levels). St. John's Wort is an anti-depressant, thus it gives you a nice feeling of well-being which allows you to adhere to their strict all meat-cheese-veggies diet plan.

Restricting carbohydrates for a length of time will certainly make you lose weight -- with or WITHOUT Serotril. This is the classic Ketogenic Diet. Cut out carbs and your body starts metabolizing fat like crazy; at a pretty high price. This is the famous Atkins Diet that killed quite a few people in the 70's.

If you do decide to do the "Serotril" thing see your doctor first and get a pack of Ketosticks. These are test strips that will tell you if your body is producing too much ketone. High ketone levels can lead to acid ketosis, a very dangerous potentially fatal condition which leads to liver damage, heart damage, etc.. (Ketosticks are also available over the counter at most well supplied pharmacies.)

Okay, now here are my TWO CENTS: You'd do much better on a lower calorie diet combined with a weight training regime. Even more than cardio/aerobic workouts, weight training not only burns incredible amounts of calories, but the resulting surge of testosterone that comes with this type of exercise will improve your mood.

Good luck, cheers!

The Serotril system will refund your money if you are unhappy with the results. So, don't knock it until you try it. It could actually work.

This site is great and informative, thanks.

I hope you get your refunds.

I was finally doing some research to check into the pill program that I had purchased and I am glad that I found this website answering questions on this program. I can honestly say that it was a complete waste of money and I was not the only one to try it. My mother and girlfriend also tried this and have had no luck. In fact, they have both done much better on programs like Weight Watchers and I have gone back to weight lifting. To everyone out there, it may work for you, but just remember that it seems to come down to if you eat moderately and exercise daily you'll probably be OK.

Good luck to all.

For all of you that desperately need to lose weight fast--here it is. Eat healthy to become healthy. Exercise to become thinner. I recommend treadmill treadmill treadmill!!! There's no easy way. You know what it took to gain it...now put the effort into losing it!! Isn't it interesting how we'll spend 3 hours in a hot kitchen cooking, 1 hour eating, but won't take 45 minutes to make our bodies healthy? Then we get angry at ourselves when we look in the mirror or go shopping and realize that all of the things we like are too small. Thank all of you for confirming my feelings and suspicions about Serotril. Off to the gym!!

For example, before going on the Atkins diet almost 2 years ago, I had a physical examination. I was 30 pounds overweight and my cholesterol was over 300. When I told my doctor that I planned to go on the Atkins diet, he highly recommended it and said that he had been on it for years and that he felt it was a very healthy diet, especially when you eat mostly vegetables (which, by the way, give you the roughage you need because you stop eating bread), chicken, and fish.

To make a long story short, at the same time I started the Atkins diet, I began taking Serotril and exercising daily, and the weight really started coming off. In 1 month, my cholesterol was normal, and in 6 months I lost 30 pounds and was in a much healthier condition. Although I am still on the Atkins diet and always will be, for some reason the weight comes off faster when I am taking Serotril.

In short: I think the Atkins diet in combination with Serotril and exercise is the easiest and healthiest way to lost weight and, further, that Serotril, contrary to what some of these people say, cannot be replicated unless you have the ability to "reverse-engineer" it accurately (I know this because I work for a pharmaceutical company). Also, I might mention that Serotril has always been located in Canada for as long as I ever ordered it and probably just has an office now in Las Vegas.

One final thing: With regard to those "low fat" diets that people claim are healthier and work better--I say humbug! I tried those diets literally for years, and believe me, they do not work, especially in the long run. For one thing, they always leave you hungry, which means that it is impossible to stick with these types of diets in the long run and you eventually gain any weight you lost back.

In summary, I would recommend that one read the Atkins book and try that diet (focusing on eating a lot of vegetables, fish, and chicken, and only eating red meat, nuts, and cheese on occasion), exercise daily (even if all you do is walk for 30 minutes), and take the Serotril during those periods where you really need to knock the weight off fast. It worked for me and, by the way, you find yourself not feeling starved and tired, but satisfied, feeling great, and actually losing weight. Then, after you have lost all of the weight you want, maintain your weight by sticking to the Atkins diet and continuing to exercise daily.

I can't lose weight on a healthy 1200 calorie a day diet because it's no real reduction from what I normally eat. My husband lost 14 pounds in the last six weeks on the identical diet (we eat all meals together). I didn't lose a pound. It was an extremely well-balanced diet and I did lose the craving for sweets that I battle all the time.

I get sick to death of all you people who bombastically assume that if only we fat people would do what you do - diet and exercise - the weight would roll off. The doctor gave me Wellbutrin and it greatly reduced my cravings, but not enough to starve again. I added Serotril to it (I couldn't find any information about whether it was dangerous to combine, so I thought I'd try it for a day or four.) The combination was so effective for me I was able to cut half portions in half, and have finally started losing.

I did try St. John's Wort before, and it didn't seem to have any effect. And I don't want to hear that calories in/calories out works the same way for everyone, and how many calories it takes to maintain your weight. The only thing that does for me is convince me how little most people, including doctors, know about weight loss and gain.
