AM 500 Review

What You Should Know

AM-5000, produced by AMS, is an energy weight loss formula that includes the popular ingredients Garcinia Extract, Caffeine, and Green Tea Extract. What sets this product apart from other appetite suppressing/energy boosting weight loss supplements is its distinct blend of exotic ingredients. The website for this formula does not provide any claims on how each specific ingredient helps you lose weight. Here, we will try to decipher the benefits, if any, to this overpriced formula.

List of Ingredients

Garcinia Extract (fruit), Caffeine (extracted from natural sources), Kelp, Chocomine (seed), Green Tea Extract (aerial part), Guarana Extract (seed), Schizandra Extract (seed), Vanadium (as Vanadium Citrate), and L-Tyrosine.

Product Features

The first ingredient listed in AM-5000 is Garcinia Extract. This exotic plant comes from parts of the world like Asia, Australia, and South Africa. It is very similar to the edible plant Hoodia which is typically used as an appetite suppressor. All claims that identify Garcinia as an appetite suppressor remain unproven. The effect caffeine has in this product is questionable because AMS’s website does not list how many milligrams are consumed per serving. An average 6 ounce cup of coffee contains 60 to 140 milligrams of caffeine. Different types of natural caffeine are more potent than others and AMS doesn’t make it clear what natural source the caffeine in this supplement comes from. Kelp is seaweed and has been rumored to boost immunity, improve liver function, fight against heart disease, and increase energy levels. Chocomine is a stimulant that works similarly to caffeine which can cause diarrhea when taken on an empty stomach. Green tea is a detoxifier but it is unclear how much is found in this product and how pure it is. The ingredient Schizandra does not have any benefits related to weight loss and typically is involved in clinical studies on hepatitis. Vanadium is a transition metal that can be toxic when taken in large quantities. L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that has been proven in some studies to be a mood enhancer. In order to fulfill AM-5000’s promise to preserve lean body mass there would have to be more essential amino acids included in this product.

Advantages

  • Free trial available

Disadvantages

  • Contains only one amino acid.
  • No customer testimonials available on AM-5000’s website.
  • Does not contain any thermogenesis (fat burning).
  • Contains filler ingredients.

Conclusion

AM-5000 contains ingredients found in a lot of weight loss supplements like Green Tea extract, caffeine, and the amino acid L-Tyrosine. It also contains unusual ones like Kelp and Schizandra which haven’t been proven valuable in any weight loss programs. If this product were proven to increase your physical performance it would have to be used with additional dietary supplements and with frequent exercise. Until this product’s ingredients are proven relevant to weight reduction we will not recommend AM-5000.

Top Choice for 2009: 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).
