Does Advalean Really Work?

A 6 in 1 weight loss system, Advalean combines technology with everything else for the ultimate weight loss formula that you are looking for. They claim that it will speed up metabolism, increase energy, improve thyroid health, control appetite, block fat, and block carbs all at the same time.

We realize, it sounds like a comprehensive formula. It sounds like a formula that will finally help you to lose weight and get all of the results you are looking for. But is this really going to be helpful, and what are the requirements for success? What are the ingredients?

Green tea-a thermogenic form of caffeine, it is also rich in antioxidants like EGCG. However, one should keep in mind that it requires at least 400mg of 50% caffeine considering the fact that caffeine is the actual fat burning component

Alpha lipoic acid-a natural antioxidant, this has properties that benefit the skin, but not weight loss

L-carnitine-a natural amino acid, there are many different ideas and advertisements about this. But it has not actually been proven to promote weight loss.

Ginseng-characterized by the presence of ginsenosides, this has been used in various different forms. All promote an overall feeling of wellbeing and fat burning with thermogenic properties. However, some relax while others energize.

Yebra mate-used as a natural Brazilian energy supplement, it is not effective in promoting weight loss without both guarana and damiana.

Bladderwrack-rich in iodine, this has been said to be good for the thyroid. However, unless you have a thyroid disorder, it won’t make a big difference, and if you do, you need medical help, not iodine.

Bovine-rich in iodine, this has been said to be good for the thyroid. However, unless you have a thyroid disorder, it won’t make a big difference, and if you do, you need medical help, not iodine.

Garcinia cambogia-typically requiring about 1500mg, this can produce a certain fat burning and weight loss effect. However, it’s more effective when combined with gymnema sylvestre and chromium.

Hoodia-hoodia has been hyped in the media on news programs and Oprah. However, had they done any research at all, they would have known that hoodia has actually been disproven in every major study. They tried to patent a form. But being that the original never worked, it failed. And then the South African government made it illegal to export hoodia from South Africa in the first place, the only place in which hoodia gordonii actually grows.

Chitosan-coming from crustaceans, this can block a certain amount of fat content from your body’s absorption. But it is measured in percentages and fairly questionable

Vitamin C-an essential vitamin, this is not a weight loss ingredient.

Chromium polynicotinate-meant to control and regulate blood sugar levels to keep them from randomly spiking and then falling, chromium has been used successfully in combination with certain other ingredients to promote weight loss. However, on its own the effect is minor at best. It generally requires about 200mcg.

Phaseolus vulgaris-an extract of the white kidney bean, phaseolus vulgaris has been known to block the absorption of a certain percentage of carbs. However, the clinical studies have not yet caught up.

5-Hydroxy Tryptophan-a natural mood lifter, this is better known as 5-HTP. However, it has no relation to weight loss.

They misspell half their ingredients perhaps in the hope that if they misspell them, you won’t know what they are. The ingredients that are related to weight loss are common at best, and most of their ingredients have nothing to do with weight loss at all. So all other things are relatively inconsequential. We would not recommend using this formula.
