Firstly, are the claims for real? Anyone out there taking it who can back up anything that the makers claim it does?
Secondly, is it legal? It seems to be on a par with Creatine which, as far as I can ascertain from other threads on this forum, is not banned.
Finally, are there any hazards to taking something like this?

I think whether something is ethical has something to do with relationship among how much it effects performance, how much it costs, and how dangerous it is.
For example, full body racing suits probably make you a little faster, they cost a lot, and they are not dangerous. This may mean they are unethical, because some swimmers can't afford them. But most of us use them.
Creatine may make you a little faster, the amount needed for meet preparation costs a few bucks, and it's not dangerous. By comparison, that sounds pretty ethical to me.
I think we see it the same way. I think that fastskins are like the BMW's of swimgear not neccessarily a status symbol but something that is price prohibitve for some. The analogy of the cost of a good golf club to an avid golfer as being comparable to a FS as a justification for buying one is true, but golf clubs are cost prohibitive to some too.
