Welcome to HCM,
Let me tell you a little bit about fruta planta:
1. It contains DMAA, a stimulant banned from US military bases and implicated in several cases of liver failure and heart failure. Any symptoms related to your heart are probably due to this ingredient under cover of the name of geranium oil. This ingredient is not safe for you to take. This is why you feel your heart muscles are sore.
2. In the US in 2014 it was recalled for the presence of 10.2 mg of Phenolphthalein, a known carcinogen.
3. It has no evidence of effectiveness.
You are asking if you should take this pill in light of your symptoms. If you were my patient, my answer would be to stop taking this pill.
I would advise that weight loss does not come in a pill but in lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, general activity levels. Yes, I know of chemicals, supplements, herbs to help that process, but they need to come from a qualified clinician capable of monitoring you.
Congratulations on doing the healthy thing, writing us for advice before any side-effects occurred so you could make an informed decision.
Healthy Regards, Kathy J. Shattler, MS,RDN
