Executive Summary
Supplement marketer Sensa Products substantiates claims its weight-loss product Sensa "works with your body's natural impulses" and "was proven effective in one of the largest clinical studies ever performed on a non-prescription weight-loss product," the National Advertising Division says in a report Sept. 3. The Council of Better Business Bureaus division notes a clinical study of the weight-loss product included 1,436 participants who lost an average of 30.5 pounds in six months as advertised. NAD recommends the firm discontinue testimonials on Sensa's Web site that say people who took Sensa lost 70 or 120 pounds. NAD says the testimonials are misleading when paired with claims based on studies. Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based Sensa says it will consider NAD's recommendation
