Unfortunately 'all natural' or 'all natural herb' does not mean that it cant hurt you. Herbs are often as powerful as prescription drugs. Things like bitter orange extract can give you a heart attack, Comfrey is toxic to the liver and can be fatal. The problem with any supplement is that it is not approved by the FDA before hitting the market. This also means that the ingredients are not approved. So I could grab some weeds out of my backyard, grind them, throw them into capsules, and sell it. Until multiple people start getting very sick/dying from my product, the FDA will not look into it. They simply do not have the manpower to inspect all of the herbal drugs out there. Just so theres no confusion- the FDA must approve any prescription drug before it can be sold. The FDA and USDA inspect food regularily. But they are very lax on inspecting herbs.
So what youre buying may not be what it says on the label, and/or it may not be the amount listed on the label. So it could very well be dangerous. The areas of most concern are your heart, liver and kidneys. You could damage them for life by taking the wrong supplement.

For a supplement like the one you mention, I would stay far far away from it. If you're trying to lose weight- its back to the basics. Eat less, do more.
