Clarinol Review

What You Should Know

Clarinol CLA is a one ingredient weight loss / weight loss maintenance supplement. Created by Lipid Nutrition, the supplement claims to increase the body’s natural ability to reduce body fat and build lean muscle mass. Lipid Nutrition, whose headquarters are located in Wormerverr Netherlands, produces supplements for managing body weight, increasing natural body defenses, improving cardiovascular health, and improving memory. Aside from Clarinol CLA, Lipid Nutrition also produces Marinol, Betapol and Pinnothin.

Ingredients

The only ingredient listed in Clarinol CLA is safflower oil. The product includes 3000 mg of Clarinol per 3 soft gels which claims to provide 2250 mg of Conjugated Linoleic Acid. According to the website, it is suggested the consumer take 3 grams of Clarinol per day which is equivalent to 3 soft gels.

Product Features

Clarinol CLA claims the main ingredient, conjugated linoleic acid which is naturally consumed in beef and dairy products, will help the body to increase fat burning and muscle mass. According to Lipid Nutrition, CLA may inhibit fat from entering the fat cells of the body, may stimulate muscle enzymes to increase natural fat burning, and may help keep the fat cells smaller so they will be unable to refill with fat stores.

Advantages

  • Clarinol CLA does offer the body a healthy source of conjugated linoleic acid which, in scientific studies, offers the body anti-oxidant properties as well as anti-cancer properties.
  • Scientific research has also supported the claims that CLA helps to reduce overall body fat when consumed at 3.4 grams per day.

Disadvantages

  • CLA has been linked to increased insulin levels, particularly in obese or overweight users.
  • CLA has been linked to increased biliary cholesterol levels which can lead to gallstones.
  • Animal studies of CLA have reported controversial results concerning the DHA levels in the brain and the heart. In some animal studies, increased amounts of CLA contributed to early death, decreased DHA levels in the brain, and decreased DHA levels in the heart tissue.
  • Return policies for Clarinol are not made very clear.

Conclusion

While there is scientific evidence that CLA, the only ingredient in Clarinol CLA, does help to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass, the scientific studies have only involved animals. In addition to a lack of human studies, the possible negative effects on the body are supported with as much backing as the positive evidence. The Clarinol CLA website offers testimonials of users losing dramatic amounts of weight over an 8 to 12 week period, when the product was taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise regimen but does not offer a control group who practiced the same dietary and activity changes. We would not recommend this product over the competition as it lacks key ingredients for appetite suppression and fat burning.

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).
