Proactol Review

What You Should Know

Proactol claims to be a fat blocker, blocking up to 28% of the bodyís fat intake. According to Proactol, you do not need to exercise any restraint in eating and can easily handle that extra cheeseburger or chocolate bar without having to worry about putting on weight. Proactol also curbs food cravings, but does not explain how it does that. As positive side effects, Proactol claims to lower cholesterol, improve joint flexibility, improve concentration, reduce aches and pains, and increase energy levels.

The Proactol website has a substantial amount of information on it. The company offers a 120-day money-back guarantee which is something we like to see. A guarantee means that a customer can purchase the product knowing that it can be returned if it doesnít live up to expectations. Proactol can be purchased directly from the website and discounts are offered on larger quantities. At around $90 per month, Proactol is more expensive than some competitive products.

Ingredients

Neopuntia, a patented formulation derived mainly from the prickly pear plant.

Product Features

According to the official website, Proactol works by binding soluble fat as it enters the digestive system and harmlessly flushing it away. Proactol contains both a soluble and insoluble fat. The insoluble fat is responsible for the fat binding whereas the soluble fat creates a viscous material in the digestive system and slows down the absorption of glucose. The soluble fat also stays in the stomach longer than regular food and therefore creates the feeling of fullness.

There are significant warnings that come with Proactol. The product may affect the absorption of vitamins and therefore should be taken at least two hours away from the ingestion of vitamin supplements. It contains trace amounts of oxalic acid which may have a negative impact on those with kidney disease. The website also warns that, because Proactol changes the glucose balance, diabetics may need to adjust their daily insulin. And lastly, those taking cholesterol-reducing medications may wish to consult with their doctors before taking Proactol.

Advantages

  • Can purchase directly from the manufacturer.
  • Official website.
  • Has some medical testimonials.
  • Money-back guarantee.

Disadvantages

  • No links to credible clinical trials.
  • No customer testimonials.
  • Contains ingredients that may cause side effects in some users.
  • May not be appropriate for those taking certain medications.

Conclusion

Proactol bases its weight loss benefits on prickly pear extract, a substance that is supported by very little science. We would have liked to have seen more in the way of customer testimonials and legitimate clinical trials in order to see the product in action. We do like the money-back guarantee being offered. There are weight loss aids on the market today that do have clinically-proven ingredients such as green tea that also come with a money-back guarantee. We recommend researching those products before settling on this one.

Top Choice for 2010: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
