Recently, many weight loss products have added bee pollen as a “natural remedy.” But the FDA warns against these products. Some of the products contained toxic ingredients not listed on the label, sibutramine and phenolphthalein. They have caused cardiac issues, seizures, and at least one death.

A few of the bee pollen products that the FDA called out include Ultimate Formula, Fat Zero, and Zi Xiu Tang. If you take anything away from this, don’t try a weight loss formula just because it seems “natural.”
