Bright : Bright red blood in the stool usually means the bleeding is coming from somewhere in your rectum or large intestine. You may be dealing with an internal or external hemorrhoid, rectal fissure, polyps, or even cancer. You need to see your doctor right away for a rectal exam and testing, and likely a colonoscopy. I am not sure if the weight loss supplement is contributory. Your doctor will further investigate. In addition you need to be screened for anemia since you are bleeding. Best of luck.

Blood in stool : Most likely cause would be hemorrhoid or fissure of the rectum. Unlikely the weight loss supplement is causative.
