CortiSlim

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. 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 alleges that Window Rock claimed that the effectiveness of CortiSlim and its ingredients is demonstrated by over 15 years of scientific research. According to the FTC's complaint, these claims are false or unsubstantiated.
