I started using Cortislim about a year and a half ago. It was on the advice of a friend who swore by it. I am not trying to sensationalize this supplement but I really can not do without it. I have lost nearly 40 pounds and kept it off for a year. Unfortunately, I can not stop taking the supplement. I get VERY grumpy if I don’t have it for a few days. Ironically I also take a prescription pill that is a relative of Valium for siezures.
Cortislim strted to show some weight loss effects after about a months use. My clothes strted not fitting before the scales changed. I was not as hungry as usual but still had hunger pangs. I continued to take it and started enjoying the way I wasn’t so melancholy anymore. Life looked a little brighter for me.
My husband started buying me fitness magazines. I started to follow a more healthy lifestyle regimen. As the months wore on and I had a few surgeries which put me in bed I still managed to lose weight.
I was in a wheelchair or on a crutch for many years. I have lupus and MS (an extremely rare pairing). As the weight started to come off more I started to change the way I was eating. I adopted the 6 small meal plan. I also added mostly organic grains to my diet. I also started an excercise regimen.
At first it was all isometric from the comfort of my bed. Then it progressed to weighted cuffs. Now I am on an machine every other day. I continue to get stronger and my crutches have been a distant memory for more than 6 months.
I don’t know what part Cortislim had in this but I am smaller than I have ever been as an adult. I am now a size 2. I am 5′6″ tall. I won’t give Cortislim all the kudos for my weight loss but it started the ride I’m on. My family knows when I have run out. I don’t have to tell them.
You forgot to mention how much calcium is in Cortislim. A LOT. I get steroid treatments every now and then and it is supossed to make you gain weight and have brittle bones. Not me. I am almost 40 so falling from a 10 ft. ladder (I was foolish as I am still not strong enough depite my feelings otherwise) should have done something. Nothing happened.
I will continue to take Cortislim because I need it. It helps me a lot. However a note of warning to those planning to take it, you have to give it a chance. I started taking it before they added the “bitter orange” and it still worked.
I don’t really diet anymore I just eat sensibly and excercis as I am able.
WARNING: Do not try to buy it from the Cortislim website as after 6 monthe of purchases they have suddenly decided to bill your credit card and not deliver the product nor return calls. I will not shop from them again.
However until someone can recommend a better product with the calming effect and calcium and sugar balancing properties of this supplement I will continue to purchase and use it. As I said before, I am the smallest I have ever been since reaching adult size. That goes all the way back to 13 years old when I finished growing. LOL.
So long story short, Cortislim started me on the road to a better me and the better me discovered excercise and proper eating along the way. I will never be fat again, count on it!
Editor’s Comments: The makers of CortiSlim were fined in excess of 4 million dollars by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission for making false and unsubstantiated comments about this product, and one other CortiStress ( you can read about there action here!). Instead of experimenting with CortiSlim, I’d recommend Magnolia bark — the ingredient in CortiSlim that has the “calming” effect.

Cortislim worked great for me. I lost a lot of my stomach fat right away. My mom managed to get some cheap, and wanted to have me try it with her. She noticed the results before I even did, like how my stomach had almost completely flattened out after maybe 2 months of max use, and doing pilates.
I fell off the wagon though, and stopped remembering to take the pills so of course I ate more and gained more back. If it wasn’t so expensive I’d definitely use this product again.
I didn’t have any bad side effects from it. I just felt full, and needed to kinda force myself to eat smaller serving size portions since I never felt hungry.

I’ve been taking Cortislim for years.
Before I started taking it I was having to take water pills, gas x, and laxatives because of water retention, bloating from gax, and constipation.
Once I started Cortislim I no longer have to take any of this. I find that it helps with my digestive tract and water retention. I’m in my late forties and my belly would be so bloated it was horrible.
Maybe Cortislim needs to reconsider how it markets itself. My sister also takes this for the same reason and she has been on it over a year.

I have used Cortislim in the past and I felt it worked great. I am suffering now with onset of higher symptoms of Fibromyalgia and the sediment levels in my blood are high.
I need to know where to get it again.

If the feds are against it, it must be a good product. There are many thousands of products out there that claim to reduce body fat and none of them work.
Isn’t it strange that the feds don’t sue any of them? What about all the products at GNC, etc.? They don’t work and the feds let them stay in business. Somethings up with that.
Editor’s comments: Phyllis, we can appreciate your skepticism; after all there are plenty of products that make outrageous claims and are not targeted by the “feds” (your assertion that the feds don’t sue “any” of them is incorrect, the FTC has acted against many products and companies!
However, your conclusion that because the FTC has acted against Cortislim (and not other offenders) it must somehow be an effective product – is illogical and incorrect.
In large part, what attracts the FTC and other regulatory bodies to a product are the amount of “noise” it makes.
In other words, how aggressively is the product advertised, how egregious are the claims, how many people are contacting the FTC and their local Attorney General’s office making claims about deceptive billing practices, and so on. In the case of CortiSlim – a product for which there is absolutely ZERO scientific validation of its claims – it was a LOT of noise. A nation-wide T.V. advertising campaign guaranteed a ton of sales, and consequently, a lot of complaints.
Additionally, one individual involved in the company (Greg Cynaumon), is alleged to have a long history of nefarious and fraudulent business dealings. Guys like this tend to be at the top of FTC’s radar screen, for obvious reasons.
So while it may be appealing to think there’s some governmental “conspiracy” whose mandate it is to squash highly effective natural products at the best of the pharmaceutical industry… it is completely untrue.
Cortislim and its makers deserved to be targeted. Should others who make similar, unsubstantiated claims? Of course. But like most governmental agencies, demands at the FTC are high and resources are limited, so in part, the “feds” act against mostly against the worst offenders. It’s not perfect, we agree. But it’s all that’s available at this time.

I used it 3 years ago. I just used 2 bottles and went from 185 to 160 in a 9 month period. I started to see results with a combination of jogging at least 2 times a week.
I loved it!

If Cortislim were marketed as simply an anti-stress supplement, I would have given it a 5. Because the product is labeled for weight loss and stress reduction, I gave it a 3. I have not had any weight loss with this product but I did have a phenomenal and almost instant reduction in my stress symptoms (ex. racing heartbeat, irritability, and heavy chest). On days when I feel overwhelmed, worked-up, and jittery, I find that when I take the Cortislim, it mellows me right out WITHOUT making me tired.
I will still take Cortislim for stress because that is what it works for. You will probably not lose weight with it though.
Editor’s comments: One of the ingredients in CortiSlim, Magnolia bark, may indeed display anti-stress characteristics. As for weight loss, not so much.

I have been on CortiSlim for about two weeks now. I have been working out regularly and have been sticking to a low fat eating plan.
There are times we eat out and I have still manged to drop the inches that I thought would never go away. I have not had any jitters or feeling nervous. I feel great and my clothes are fitting better and better. Pants I couldn’t get into a month ago I fit into.
This is one great product.

I used CortiSlim for awhile, and didn’t notice any difference, so stopped. I was cleaning out my kitchen cabinet and wondered if I should throw it away as another useless product I have been duped into buying. I decided to look up if it even still sells as I didn’t see it in the beauty products store. It has gone from $35 to $19, and there is a controversy about it, so I guess I will throw it away.

I give it a 4 because I didn’t lose a pound while taking Cortislim but it took away my monthly PMS completely!!!! Which is great because I had very bad PMS. My husband noticed it after my second period then I realized it was the cortislim that did it.
Visitor Rating:Pretty funny that my husband had to point it out to me.

I have taken Cortislim before and noticed right away the change in my midsection. I also noticed I wasn’t stressed all the time but what was weird when I stopped taking Cortislim I was eating anything I wanted and continued to lose more weight to the point where my curves were disappearing. I even had family members question what had happened to me. Then one day I woke up and had an hour glass figure. I know that is hard to believe but that is what happened with my exercise involved. So you tell me if it worked or not. I guess everybody if different but it worked for me. Once again I purchased Cortislim and will let you know on my outcome.
