![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
TRIMSPA, the company pimped by Anna Nicole Smith and credited for her spectacular weight loss, is claiming that their former spokesmodel used human growth hormone only for its anti-aging properties, even though it was described by Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper as a "longevity/weight reducing medication."
In a statement to TMZ, TRIMPSA claims they spoke with Howard K. Stern yesterday, who told them, "Smith took human growth hormone since 1999 or 2000," but added that the hormone was used for its anti-aging properties -- not its slimming effects -- which are said to influence the metabolism of proteins, carbs and lipids.
In addition to Anna's fondness for HGH, she also indulged in another weight loss product -- Slim-Fast. The Broward County Medical Examiner stated that they found the diet drink on her nightstand in the Hard Rock Hotel room where she died, and TMZ memorably obtained exclusive photos of several cans of Slim-Fast and a family-sized bottle of methadone in Anna's Bahamian mini-fridge.

BUSTED alex........................I'm glad u finally have shut your face up
Ugh, so what. The woman is dead, who cares about what she used for weight loss and or the fountain of youth. None of it matters anymore cuz it sure didn't save her, now did it?
No offense TMZ....it must be a slow reporting day for you.....first Star Jones now this!! It's OK....I'll keep tuning into you. Thanks for all the good reporting thus far on ANS.
Tmz is it your goal to destroy as many lives as possible? How do you randonly chose who are targets and who are not?
it does not matter anymore----let this woman rip----we will never know the truth now will we??? let her go and rest in peace with her son---this whole thing and the death of her son is covered with lies and fake people!!!!
Howard is NOT going to tell the truth to trimspa.. Anna used many things for weight loss , lets not forget trimspa is being sued by multiple ppl
for non effective diet stuff
Let's watch SlimFast sales RISE and TrimSpa will be goin' down.
This story continues t get sadder by the day!

And so does my typing! lol
Wow, does Trimspa need to save face and $$$$$$$$$$, how do they explain the Slim Fast...she swigged the Trimspa pills with the shake...
I heard ANS talking to Larry King on his show about using laxatives.It is one way to loose a lot of weight.
HMMMM -- me thinks Howard will continue to receive compensation for any advertising Trimspa may use which involves Anna. Though that would be corporate suicide for most companies - but than again, when people are at the end of the robe for an answer (to lose weight), I guess they would even use stuff that a DRUGGIE used. I don't think Trimspa's profit margins are going to be going through the ceiling however after this revelation from Howie.
