Keto Fast Review: Can You Trust This Manufacturer?
When the Better Business Bureau issues a warning about a supplement manufacturer, you would be wise to pay attention! Founded in 1912, the BBB is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to restore marketplace trust and expose businesses who promote ‘medical quackery’. The board of directors upholds ethical business standards in order to help guide consumers find genuine health products and avoid the scams artists. Each product is given a score from the BBB depending on how well it meets their stringent standards. In the last 12 months there have been 58 complaints lodged against Keto Fast on the BBB’s website. When the BBB investigated Keto Fast, they found it violated their Code of Advertising on 2 different counts.
The first offense is that Keto Fast advertises free trial bottles and asks for credit card details for shipping costs. However, consumers found themselves automatically enrolled in a monthly subscription! What’s worse is that it became impossible to deactivate this monthly fee. In section 18 of the BBB’s Code of Advertising it states that companies must clearly disclose the cost of the additional products and how consumers can cancel charges and future enrollments. This is the first outright violation.
Keto Fast’s second offense is the inability to substantiate outlandish claims and brazen ‘before and after’ photographs claiming the efficacy of this product. According to Section 34 of the BBB’s Code of Advertising, products must base their efficacy claims on recent scientific data. It is immediately apparent that the images on the Keto Fast website are completely photoshopped! This immediately raised a huge red flag for us and leaves us with a bad taste in our mouth, for however effective their formula may be (we’ll expound on that below), we despise shady business practices (like photoshopping or editing) that mislead consumers. It is exactly these kind of product manufacturers that we recommend our readers to stay away from! And another clear violation of the BBB’s Code of Advertising.
As of July 30, 2020, Keto Fast had not responded to the BBB to rectify their false advertising. So, should you take a chance on this product?
We decided to investigate further, however, we were unable to find any clear details of a formula breakdown and there was no label to be found which is a huge no-no for us. Confident supplement manufacturers do not hide their labels, in fact, the genuine companies make their formula and label very clear so that you know exactly what you are buying and more importantly what you are swallowing!
Is Keto Fast Effective?
If a keto supplement contained effective, clinically-proven ingredients, would they have to stoop to unethical advertising practices in order to sell products? We don’t think so. However, we analyzed this product’s ingredients to see what was actually inside the bottle.
Keto Fast contains 700mg of what they refer to as a patented ketosis weight loss supplement yet, we remain unclear as to what is contained in the 700mg. We really have no idea! We were unable to find any clinical study backing up any kind of ingredients this product contains which is very concerning. The omission of all of these things suggest to us that this is nothing more than a shady scam and consumers need to be very careful.
This company makes many claims about what the product does yet fails to back it with any clear evidence or explanation. Their claim of losing 1lb of fat per day is great news but….it is really only an empty promise if there is no evidence behind it.
The website does state that the product is natural, which is always a positive aspect we appreciate. They state that their formula contains BHB ketones which is exactly what you need to jump you into ketosis but would love to have seen exactly which BHB ketones they included to better understand just how good this product is.
Oftentimes, a good way to judge the effectiveness of a product is to see what people think about it after they have used it. So, we went looking to see what consumers had to say, and it seems that most reviews were positive, with users experiencing good results. However, there were a few reviews that stated that for some consumers, there was little to no benefit at all. This may or may not be due to the lack of ingredients in its formula.
That said, if the before and after photos are to be believed, this really is some kind of magic in a bottle because they are actually halving the size of most people. We are not taken in by these images for one second.
Looking at the positives, they do offer a 30 day money back guarantee, which is great news, but unfortunately, we were unable to test just how genuine this is.
The actual price of one bottle is actually very unclear. We tried to place an order with the ‘Rush My Order’ option and it would not give the price until we entered our credit card details which we were not going to do. We know these kind of companies, they also offer autoship subscriptions and once they have your credit card details, they don’t give them up without a fight!
So we went hunting and found this product being sold on a third-party website for $69.95 per bottle. Unless there is gold dust inside, this is way over the price when compared to other similar products. Consumers need to know they are getting value for money, as well as, a quality product, and we have no idea what you are getting for a really crazy amount of money! A little more transparency wouldn’t go amiss (understatement of the year!!).
Bottom Line:
Stay away! Even though Keto Fast says it is an all singing and dancing ketosis boosting product, we are left in the dark on many levels. It is well known that health supplements can work differently for each individual, due to each body’s unique metabolism and makeup. To deliver optimal results, supplement manufacturers should make their formulas in the most effective way possible, leaving nothing to chance.

Is Keto Fast Safe?
Our honest answer is that we are not really sure. There is so much information missing from their site that we are simply not in a position to be able to answer this. In general, Keto Fast should be a safe herbal supplement if taken according to the proper recommendations. We need more information to be able to verify this statement.
Summary
If you are a sucker for believing photoshopped images, love dodgy before and after photos and thrive on false promises, then this is the product for you! For us, Keto Fast fails on so many levels. There are some incredible high quality products out there in the market that have taken the time to create life changing formulas for the optimal keto boost – why waste your money on something that you simply have no idea is going to work or not. At least they offer a 30-day money back guarantee (so they say) but then they also state that you can lose 1lb per day without any data to back up their claims. After all, anyone can say anything and in the world of nutritional health supplements, scientific data backing up claims is exactly what consumers should be focused on. These guys have a lot of work to do if they want to stick around for the long term and be taken seriously.
Our advice to you is to stay clear. Check with the Better Business Bureau before purchasing any health supplement. And look for other products that have done their research and back up each and every claim they make.
