Bethel S30 Review
I was utterly amazed at what I found with this product. You may think that is a good thing to be utterly amazed, but in all reality, this product doesn’t do as much as it claims. I was utterly amazed that so much has been put into this product in terms of advertising and website quality, but apparently they didn’t get the memo to have good products as well. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but doing a little research on the company and the credentials of the creator will open your eyes a little.
Bethel Nutritional Consulting is a company based out of New York. The President of the company is from the Dominican Republic, and got a degree in medicine from a university down there. From there he went to the United States, and gained further credentials in herbal medicine techniques. Now, I like you am always looking for the best techniques and would prefer herbal to potentially harmful chemicals.
My main point of skepticism lies in the fact that Dr. Ramirez (the president of the company) seems to diagnose medical symptoms with the use of Iridology. Those unfamiliar with this concept would be interested to find out that it is the concept that looking into the iris of one’s eye will show the diseases that may be prevalent in the body. So in theory a “doctor” will look into your eye and be able to determine potential problems. According to all major medical information sources, Iridology has no basis in actual science, and even went so far to call it a pseudoscience and a farce.
As for this particular product, here are the ingredients: Flos Citri Aurantil, Cassia Seed Extract, Jobstear Seed, Mulberry Leaf Extract, Spirulina, and Medical Amylum. As can be expected this supplement is in the form of a proprietary blend. Because of this it is impossible to determine the amount of each ingredient in the product, and therefore very difficult to determine true effectiveness.
This product is supposed to restrain your appetite, clear liver and eyesight, detoxify, and help with heart issues. Seems pretty amazing eh? Well, with no clear return policy and an incredibly high price of $60 dollars it is definitely something that you should think about and consult a professional.
Bethel S30 Side Effects
It is unclear from the product website just what some of the side effects will be. The website warns women that are pregnant, nursing, and patients of cordis-vasal disease, and apoplexy from taking this supplement.
I personally found a few more potential side effects from a few sources. One person on posted on WebMD some potentially scary side effects.
Cassia Seed Extract may cause a few minor side effects like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, OBESITY, and psoriasis. Any diet pill that has obesity as a side effect is one that I would tend to avoid.
Aside from the complaint on the board of WebMD, I can’t seem to find any other potentially damaging side effects. That review alone made me seriously look at Bethel S30 and wonder what the damage potential of the product is.
Does Bethel S30 work well enough to buy?
I really don’t find any scientific evidence backing the effectiveness of the product. This product is also overpriced, and could be potentially dangerous. I would highly suggest you look into other products other than this one. There are many cheaper and much more effective and proven products on the market. With no explicitly stated return policy, prepare to get the run around with this company.

So Jason, you’re saying that you’re primarily skeptical about the product because Dr. Ramirez gained his knowledge from and is a native of the Dominican Republic?
Just an FYI, Dominican Republic has very intelligent, professional doctors as many other countries do too..sometimes some of the BEST doctors are foreign. I personally think you are just a RACIST and bothered by the fact that this Latino company is succeeding!!! Shame on you!
Hi I used this product with really good results did have side effects heart raced a bit and had difficulty sleeping did not follow DR. Ramirez diet it was to drastic lost over 40 pounds. I took them for three monthes I have gain some waight back but over all still good its been over a year I excersize and try to eat well.
I have to admit this is scary. I have a co-worker who already suffers from HBP, and she is now taking these pills. I heard that they were discontinued becuase they have the same ingredient as Merian which we all know was pulled from the market.
Is there any way possible to confirm all the ingredients .
I took this pruducut for a month and had amazing results. I am going to peak for myself but i think that this is worth the money!
I HAVE USED THESE PILLS WHEN TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT I WAS 190 LBS AND DROPPED TO LIKE 138 WITHIN 3MTHS I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANY ONE TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT I TRIED WORKING OUT DIETING EVERYTHING NOTHING HAPPEND TILL I TRIED THE PILLS THE AWSOME BUT YOU HAVE TO DRINK WATER AND EAT FOOD OR FRUIT FOR POTASSIUM
I have been taking this product with amazing results, it does suppress appetite and help in wieght loss. However, with every diet product people need to stay consistant with portion control and continous exercise . I really like this product and have seen results in my wiastline. I dont think it matters because the doctor is from Domincian Republic we should be skeptical, he also furthered his education in the USA so i think that is a plus.
Hi, I’m looking for a good way to lose weight!! I’m 130lbs and have excessive stomach fat, so I would like to know if this really is the right thing for me???
where can i buy or order this product? my co-worker used it and said she lost a lot of weight without exercising. her mother also used it and lost a ton of weight.
I have taken this product and I have had amazing results
I have lost a total of 28lbs in about 2 mths. Awesome product but everybody, is not the same one must consult ones doctor before take any medication. So to write all of this may be a iittle general if u feel so strongly then dont take the product. Several of my friends took this product and also had great results
This product does work…you will lose weight. BUT………
I had some scary side effects about a week and a half after starting.
Evidently this pill lowers your potassium A LOT and it raises your blood pressure. They even tell you to eat a banana. I followed the plan on the sheet they gave me. I lost about 11 lbs. in 2 weeks, but about 11-12 days into it I started having heart palpitations and got very dizzy. From my research the palpitations resulted from low potassium. I started having panic attacks and seriously thought I was going to die of a heart attack. I stopped taking it and loaded up on bananas and potassium . I even went to the doctor to have an EKG and check my heart. It was a horrible experience. I never took it again. I had a friend who lost a lot of weight and never had any side effects. Everyone is different. Eventhough things say “herbal” they can be bad for you. You will lose weight, but at what price???
Hello, I started taking bethel advance on sunday april 17th and today is tuesday april 19th and I already lost 4.5 pounds. I was 156.5 and now I am 152. I will keep everybody poSt of how much weight I will loSt by the end of the week. Also I don’t have any side effects yet. So we will see.
I Have used them and I have lost lots of weight and I have no health problems. I would recommend them to any one looking to get healthy by loosing weight. Just eats lots of bananas and drink lots of water. It’s very important that you do, but the pills do what they say they will do. On the site to order more. Love the Sena pills they really help you get your stomach down and cleans you and NO YOU DON”T HAVE TO BE AT HOME BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE THE RUNS.I went to work and didn’t feel nervous of going on myself. So if you want to try them I say yes go ahead and do so.

WILL LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT
i started these pills in February when i was 220lbs by March i was 200lbs and i am now 193lbs and im going to start taking them again this month to loose more weight for the summer.
I took the pills last year I felt awfull I drop 10 pounds in 30 days but is for the diet not the pills you have to eat a banana every day I did I wasn’t enough I had to take potassium I had depression problems with sleep with my heart I felt so bad, but for some people works this is only my case
I want to know the website to order the pills… Thanks
Where can I buy these pills. ????
where in new york sell this pills.? i want to buy it
I purchased these pills in 2010 with the hope to loose some weight. My schedule is really tigt so i thought this was a great idea since i hardly have time to work out. I really had scary side effects with these pills. i took the product for about one week and the following week i cought a rash on my whole body, but mainly on my legs. i was crying for days because the rash was painful and very itchy. my poor mother had to help me out with lots of medication cause i was going insane. i had to buy cortizone and all type of Sarna cream to control the rash from spreading more. I stopped taking the product inmediately. I threw all the bottles away and never took it again. I called the Dr. (the dominican Dr. that was working with me on the diet) to inform him what happened and he just told to to stop taking the pills. He could not find an explanation for my case. The only thing he said “well i think you are allergic to the product”. This experience was very scary. i also had the heart palpitation not been able to sleep at night. Please do you research before you buy this product and also decide to work out and eat healthy rather than taking short cuts.
I took these pill last year. I lost 40 pounds in 45 days. I had no side effects exept that it made me thirsty so i drank a lot of water i also did my 6 day a week exercise program two hours a day i really didnt follow the diet and i did not take the senna that came with it. No food after seven pm lots of cardio and all i can say is that it worked for me i had a medical exam done after and my doctor couldn’t beleive how healthy i was. I recomended it to a few girls that i know and they were very happy with the results unfortunatelly they discontinued it but like i said it works.
I took the pills and lost 60 pounds, all my baby weight in 2009 for 5 months and would love to use it again but i was informed that they change the formula. I want to find out who has used the new pills that Dr. Ramirez recommend.
wow.. you people that wanna take these pills just so you dont have to excersize are LAZY lol no wonder you need them in the first place
Pills are amazing I took them for 2 months drpped 40 pounds and I have maintained the weight off
If it says eat bananna eat it its for POTASIUM
I took these pills 4 mts ago for only a month started at 210lbs and am now 178. i was excersizing and drinking lots of water and felt great! i will resume taking them this month to lose 40 more lbs.
Ok, taking too much of ANYTHING is not a good idea. Firstly just because you come from a foreign country doesn’t mean you are a bad doctor. Secondly, so-called “doctors” and “Scientists” have also called Chiropractors, Chinese herbal medicine, and many other medical fields pseudoscience. They just don’t believe that anyone, anything else, or other methods of medicine are helpful and real. BUT THE FACT IS if you look at how long other people have lived in small countries without the need of a doctor for years might just say something. I don’t recall using a bunch of prescriptives good medicine either. So don’t panic at the first sight of herbal therapies. Before you write, do some REAL homework. Even effedra was taken out of the “market.” But it actually is a very good supplement. People just love to abuse the intake of EVERYTHING causing your body to either get used to it, or break down. Secondly, “scientists” are now realizing that NATURE is actually what can save us. That should tell you something about the science “committee.” So, I have also used this product. It helped me a great deal, and I stopped the use after a while and then got back on. If you use herbs in your daily supplements you have to get off it and then get back on because your body will get used to it. Of course if you are a person that cannot take in caffein, this may not be for you. Check your medical history, see your general doctor and see Dr. Ramirez for the best options for you. Also remember, to get rid of the flu, doctors give you the FLU shot. So don’t be so skeptical if the supplement has OBESITY as a “side effect” of one herb. The combination of the others might just be the key to the weight loss factors, have you forgotten chemistry class already? If you continuously eat the wrong things, don’t exercise, don’t sleep full 8 hours, don’t eat enough times a day in smaller portions, don’t eat BALANCED meals, and don’t get off that couch! THAT IS OBESITY.
Loved the Bethel MS30. Excellent pill. Lost 20 lbs. Now I can’t find the pills anywhere. Put it back on the market. It did give you the dry mouth, so you had to drink lots of water and crystal light. Purchased a diet pill by Slimfastin, but it doesn’t suppress my appetite. Great laxative though! I want the Bethel MS30 back.
Hi….I just wanna say I had my baby 3 months ago in April but I started the product June 28 and in one month I losted 25 pounds……I have tried every thing and this is the only thing that has ever worked for me….I do excersize Mon through thursday doing a lot of cardio…the only side affects that I get is a dry mouth but I drink alot of water and headaches at times but thats about.I must say I think its a wonderful product…..I started at 220 and now I’m at 193….I will continue to use the product to lose more weight
Where did you purchase the pills? I went to Bethel30 and the container looks different that the one I purchased two years ago9? When I took these pills I lost 20 lbs in less than a month, amazing! If you know where I can purchase them, please reply-thanks.
I need the original pill I am talking about the green pill s30 please please I need your help bethels30 ok I need it real bad
I took the pills and I lost 30 pounds in 30 days these is amazing product, know I wanna take the Bethel Advance to lose 20 more.
I took the original Bethel S30 pills in 2009 and had amazing results. All my friends/family had the same results too. The laboratory where they used to make them closed, and now they have these other pills that just don’t work. I confess, i have tried them ALL and NONE work the same as the S30 did. I tried bethel boost, advance, lipo, HCG, BThinner, Quik-Thin. Not only do they NOT work, but the price went up to $80. If they are going to stay in business and satisfy their loyal customers, they need to find another laboratory that can reproduce the same original formula.
I agree with Rozzo I tried the original fast 30 F it and it worked miracle I lose 17lb in 2 weeks… I recently tried their new pills and lost 2lb in 2 weeks. They do not work AT ALLLL!!!! Now they claim they are back with the bethel 30 without caffeine. I’ve been looking for reviews on ppl who tired it and I have not found any… If anyone tired the new Bethel 30 that come out October 2011 plz keep the old users updated. Thank you
i have never tried the old pills..but i just bought the ones that came out in october
they are green ..one side a lighter green then the other and have s30 written on it
i have only taken two days
but i am not hungry at all
i have to force myself to eat
will keep you updated on weight loss
I know of 2 people who to the Bethel s30 but they don’t make them anymore. I want to take the Bethel 30 but I heard they don’t work as good. Did anybody try the Bethel 30 with the new formula??
Hi,everybody.I took Bethel 30 the old formula in 2010 and I had an unbelievable results, I lost 50 lb in only 4 months without any exercise,realy,i don’t like even the idea for exercising.This was amazing.After I stop taking them I put few pound back, but I was trying to eat healthy and kept the other pounds off. After the pills get off the market I tried some of the other products they’ve got,but non of them work with me,seriously,non of them, so I just stop taking anything.I called couple of times to the office and ask for the Bethel 30,but until now they didn’t have them.2 weeks ago I went there,after I call and they finely had it. I both 5 bottels,just in case,and sence then i’m taking them agane.I’ve lost 15 pound in those 2 weeks and honestly I think ,this product is even better than the first one,because have no caffeine and doesn’t get you too nerves or hipper.I’m happy they got the Bethel 30 agane. I had an incredible results,may be you can have it too.Good luck to everybody
If anyone goes,to the office of Bethel Nutrition and decide to buy more than one bottel of the pills,you can ask them, if you getting A discount for purchasing more pills.I’m telling you this ,because I get 5 bottels Bethel 30 and Dr. Ramirez made mi a huge discount. He gave me 5 bottels for 250 $ ,this is 150 $ less than the real price. Usualy they are 80$ per bottel
I took this product in 2010 and it worked for me. I lost about 20lbs in about 2 months. At first it bothered my sleep and i decided to take only half of the pill and i was able to sleep. You must take some kind of potassium supplement because it will cause you to have heart palpations. I had some scary things to go on with my body and i stopped taking them but they did work and i went to my doctor showed him the pills and i had all kinds of blood work and tests done and i’m fine. Like every product it’s on an individual basis and you just have to do what you think is best. This product gave a me boost on my weight loss and enhanced my self-esteem.
Please don’t do it to yourself. After only four days I’ve had such pain in my chest, a severe rash on my neck, and consistent diarrhea. I didn’t even take the senna laxatives and I was still going to he bathroom all the time. I had a banana every morning I had some cantaloupe too. I would eat a couple pieces of vegetables and need to stop because it felt like I had eaten an entire tables worth of food. I became incredibly light-headed and after further research today to see why this was happening to me I found out they had an unlisted chemical ingredient that has been directly linked to severe cardiac illnesses. Don’t put yourself through it, I’m dumping the rest of mine I’m sorry I eve bought them.
I took these pills in 2010 when they were the original ones and they worked amazingly i lost 20 pounds my first week. Now I started using them again the new version and on today, day 4 i am 8 pounds lighter!!!! this pill is amazing!!! I will keep u all updated as I am so excited about this pill!! I pair the pill with a banana and 1 slice of wheat toast for breakfast and a smart ones meal for lunch and a salad for dinner. I drink water constantly to keep me hydrated because they do make u thirsty but they are so worth it.
I’m seriously thinking about purchasing these pills this week. I just wanted to do my research first. I’m a little weary about the heart pap, pain in the chest and the dizziness. I only would like to lose about 10 – 15 pounds. I workout, I just have a problem with portion control. I know how to eat healthy. I think I will go for it. I’ll keep you posted.
I went on this diet and lost 50lbs in one month…i acheived this by combining a lot of cardio workout and very strict dieting…side effects: dry mouth…and i dont find that to be a bad side effect at all because i was stuffing my face with water which help me clean out my system..i reccommend everybody with weight problems to take these pills.
LOVE LOVE LOVE bethel s 30 very effective I began taking them when I was about 17 and I was 350! with these pills and this diet with in 6 months I was 210!! the lady from the office actually wanted to put me on the Web site.. now I am 21 and gained a bit of weight back I am at 250 and I just started the bethel again last week already 8lbs down! and yea you get head ache, dizzines, rapid heart rate and heat flashes but what diet pill doesn’t do that to you! I recommend it to everyone I know and they love it
Day:2: This pill definitely kills your appetite only because at night you wont be able to sleep with your heart pouncing out of your chest. I took my pulse i was at 174 beats per minute while sleeping….I almost called 911. Im a 36 year old healthy active individual that goes to the gym everyday and eats very healthy…vegetables, juices, fruits, lean meats occasionally and fish. I never felt so afraid in my life. There seems to be something missing in the ingredients….i don’t know what it is….but it comes out at night. For 10 pounds of my own insanity I’ve learned my lesson.
