There are some good products that he has recommended such as CLA, but if he doesn't show a specific brand people will not buy it. We do not carry Safslim for example but regular CLA 1000mg per soft-gel which is just as good and has been effective for hundreds of our customers just fine, but since DR OZ didn't okay this specific brand they won't get it, even though it is the same thing but more cost effective!
