This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This product has a host of side effects and the company is denying them and banning the customers who complain from their online community and their FB page. The side effects include, rectal bleeding, intestinal bloskage, nausea, vomitting, constipation, stomach pain, headaches, dry mouth, kidney pains, gall bladder attacks. WHY is this being allowed? This company is preying on the vulnerabilities and desperation of a huge population of overweight, overwrought citizens. This product needs to be independently lab tested and analyzed before someone dies!

Sensa sprinkles do not work. I gained weight when I gave up cigarettes and was hoping this might help stop the craving to eat. I used it as directed, but noticed NO DIFFERENCE. It has no taste, no smell, no effects at all on whether or not you feel full. Good thing I got it on Amazon for $20.00 and didn't sign up for the auto delivery. Don't bother with this item.

I have used sensa and i regret the day i tried it, i started using sensa and started getting bad headaches, my eye sight got effected, very bad stmack cramps and then i had rectal bleeding and what's worse i still have it off and on. I am fixing to get myself checked through specialist. I don't know about other people but if i find something serious that has happened to me with sensa i am going after them, i am going to sue them big time, i haven't been feeling well for a long time now from the time i tried sensa. I know they will be one sorry company!

I hope you get better, but really hope you can close these jerks doors for good, they cost me over $300. in debit card fees, after cancellation and return of their so called diet product, but still billed my account again a week later almost.

I was told to only use it for a couple of months as I only wanted to take off @ 10 lbs. But have felt sick since I started and did not connect the dots until now! Why is a product like this being sold without side effect warnings? How is that even legal? I have felt nauseated, irregular movements and almost constant stomach pain...I just stopped after about 1 1/2 months. Hope I start feeling better...Yes Sensa could find it's self in a LOT of trouble from a lot of sick people. Lets get the word out!

Wow! I can't believe this I just about used it for a month now and was sick with flu like Symptoms for a month now! I feel extremely lethargic and I even had to use my husbands inhaler! I'm 24 years old never even knew what It felt like to have an asthma attack but I had it twice already! I'm so glad that I researched possible side affects now... Who knows what could have happened to me. I can't believe they have this product out there, so sad we need to stop them!

I have had 2 CT scans to find out why I have swelling in the upper right side of my abdomen. They cannot seem to find anything but say that I had constipation. The lump seems to move around and is now moving upward into my chest. I go back to the Gastroenerologist on the 13th, but think I will need to get there sooner. I stopped taking Sensa after nine weeks. I was told that I had an air pocket that had formed. It does not hurt but moves as food goes through my intestine. I think that somehow it has been weakened in that area from the Senas. Does anyone else have this problem and what have you done about it.

I started using Sensa June 30, 2012 in less then 2 months I had lost 22lbs. Great right NOT! I began noticing my hands cracking and bleeding. Fast forward to September I've already been to my family doctor and a dermatologist who biopsied one of my fingers. I'm waiting for results from blood work but the biopsy result was hardening of the skin. I also have had flu like symptoms and blood in my stool. I have an appointment to have a colonoscopy. I have asthma and I been using my inhaler a lot. I've been having sharp stomach pains. The only thing that I can pinpoint my health problems to is the Sensa. I stopped taking Sensa on September 7, 2012. I've lost a total of 28lbs even though I stopped the Sensa. I wish I would have known the side effects of taking Sensa. Has anyone had trouble with their hands. My heart has been racing a lot to. Michelle W.

I just started to take the product a week ago and I am already feeling the flu like side effects. I cannot even think straight, and I just started to work on my Graduate Studies... I am going to stop taking it, I cannot go on like this.

my wife took this product for about two months and thanks to a website linked to this board is off now but she has been having severe kidney pains for weeks now and the doctors havent found out why yet! She has also had some of the other side effects but we had no clue it could be sensa the not so harmless powder!

I bought 2 month's supply of Sensa at a Costco in Phoenix and started using it near the beginning of October of this year. I have since been suffering with terrible stomach cramps; lack of ability to urinate; loss of energy; constipation and high blood pressure. What is the procedure to at least get my money back.

I was lucky enough to get unpleasant symptoms as early as after 2 days of using sensa.i am a person who has a bowl movements 2-3 times a day, no exception.And all of a sudden i didn't for ...3days.It was very unusual for me and i started to think of what i am doing differently and only one new regiment was sensa.So i stop using it and got more info about side effects and here we are.
So considering others experience i should thank my sensitive digestive track.

I also bought the 6 months supply, and quit using it 4 days into the program. I had severe kidney pains and bloating. One week later, the kidney pain has subsided but the bloating is still there. Trust your own judgment. You know what is best for you. Good luck.

So after having a stomach ultrasound and a CT scan only to have the doctors tell me I may have a virus. I put two and two together and arrived here. Diarrhea all night, intense stabbing pains in my stomach to the point that I was certain that I had an issue with my gallbladder or appendix. I have never had stomach pains like this before and I'm 34 years old and have had my share of stomach flus, food poisoning and even labor! Nothing compared to this pain I had last night. I have a high pain tolerance and why I say this brought tears to my eyes I'm not kidding. I've only used sensa for 2 days and this is what happened! The migraine and weird sinus pressure I'm used to considering I've had allergies and migraines forever so I just figured it was me. Anyways I'm sorry this paragraph is running on, I've only had 2 hours of sleep in the last two days. I can believe that they can sell a product that has caused this many people ill effects, sickness, hospitalization and worse! How is this possible? I never buy "diet" products bc there really isn't a miracle product out there, I fell for the "safety" promise they gave me and was just hoping that sensa could safely help me cut back on the amount I'm eating to drop some weight. Boy do I feel like an idiot. I hope everyone else here is feeling better and I warn anyone who hasn't tried Sensa NOT TO DO IT! It isn't worth your health, your time or the hospital bills!

I only have 10 lbs to lose. I have only used one sprinkle of the sweet food sprinkles on my cereal this morning. Within an hour I started experiencing severe cramping and bloating due to gas (passing gas and burping). Luckily I purchased this product at Costco so I can return the 2 months' worth of this product--no questions asked. But I will sure give them my concerns!. Feeling like crap isn't worth it. This makes me think that some of the weight loss people experience is from just not feeling like eating because of the side effects. I am a really healthy eater--lots of fruits and veggies, oatmeal, etc. So this cramping has nothing to do with my body adjusting to eating more fibrous foods as I already do that.

Wow. I have been sick for 3 weeks, on Sensa for about a month. Didnt know what was wrong until my coworker asked about Sensa side effects. The Sensa website was no help. Thanks to Google I found this site. Same thing, headaches...missing period (not pregnant)...abdominal and stomach pain...unexplained movement in my stomach and my body feels like Im coming down with the flu. I have an appointment tomorrow at my OB, thought there was a problem with my lady parts, glad I have some info for my doctor now. May help to cut down on some confusion.

I became constipated about a week after starting to use 'sensa'. When I contacted customer support, was told it couldn't be the product. It had to be a reaction to the food I was using it on. I WAS EATING THE SAME FOOD AS ALWAYS. The only change was the addition of 'sensa'.. All I wanted was for them to admit that their product might not work for every one. The best I got, was they blocked me on FB. In my opinion, this product is a waste of money

I really wanna sue sensa for jeopardizing my health!
I bought the 2 month try around December 2012, I used it for around a month and then I returned it cause it didn't help me at all. But now that I'm reading this I do remember pains and constipation while I was using it and I didn't know it was because if that.
Also the main reason why I really want to sue them is because I used to be asthmatic when I was a kid, then I moved to the US when I was 10 and my asthma went away, I could eat and do a lot of things I wasn't a able to when I was little.
But when I started using this product I started having difficulty breathing, but I thought it was allergies cause from time to time I would get dust allergies then I would take some bendryl and it would go away, but it just keep getting worst as time passed, and I was about to turn 18 when this happened. I stopped using sensa around January 2013 only for a month, but like 2 weeks before stop using it I had a major asthma attack, and I hadn't had one in over 8 year! And I couldn't go to the hospital cause I couldn't afford it, I was like that for 3 days until it got so bad I was about to pass out. But thank God my best friend had an inhaler that it helped me a lot, but since then the whole 2013 year every single dust allergy or cold weather will cause me to be wheezing and having difficult to breath!
So it took me a while to put 2 and 2 together and realized the only thing I used that I have never used before was sensa. So till this day there is times I can't breath and I feel like I'm about to die, I can't even sleep at night! I really want to sue sensa for this
