Cortislim  


Home >> Cortislim >> Drug Details




CortiSlim is a weight loss system marketed by Window Rock Enterprises. It is formulated by Dr. Shawn Talbot, PhD (Nutritional Sciences). The CortiSlim tablets, part of the weight loss plan, contain vitamins, minerals, and various plant extracts. The company originally claimed that CortiSlim tablets aided weight loss by reducing levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.[1][2] However, in October 2004, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleged that marketers of CortiSlim and CortiStress were making false or unsubstantiated claims in their advertising. Since then, the company has changed their marketing claims. The FTC also alleged that Window Rock claimed that the effectiveness of CortiSlim and its ingredients had been demonstrated by over 15 years of scientific research. According to the FTC's complaint, these claims were false or unsubstantiated.[3][4]

Federal Trade Commission fine for false claims

On January 4, 2007, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced that it fined Window Rock Health Laboratories, the makers of CortiSlim, $1.2 million for making unsupported claims in advertisements. The FTC also fined the makers of Xenadrine EFX, TrimSpa, and One-A-Day WeightSmart for similar claims.[2]
