Glabrinex Review

Product Features

The only ingredient in Glabrinex is licorice flavonoid oil. There are some animal studies out there linking licorice flavonoid oil to weight loss, but all but one has been completed on animals. While this is where most supplement companies start, the effects of supplements and specific ingredients on rodents is not comparable to the effect on humans. Weight gain and weight loss is much more complicated in higher minded species, like humans. Rodents do not typically emotionally eat or go out on a Friday night with friends for drinks and pizza. For this reason, we tend to look for a human study and luckily Glabrinex lists a human-based study for us to peruse.

The human study that is supposed to support the claims of abdominal fat loss made by Glabrinex does nothing but cause more questions. There were no calorie controls used in the study, so the effects of the supplement, reported after the study, are useless. Some of the participants could have significantly reduced caloric intake and that could have caused loss of abdominal fat. On the other hand, the participants could have changed the foods they ate or decided to take up a walk after dinner. These all could have reduced visceral fat.

Vitamin Research Products sells Glabrinex for $49.95. This is far too expensive for a supplement that is not proven to help humans lose belly fat.

Conclusion

Weight loss with all-natural products does not have to be a hit or miss situation. Glabrinex lists a human study so dieters can see the proven effects of the supplement, but the human study did not control caloric intake. Dieters were left free reign to change calorie intake and adjust it for weight loss if they so desired. This means the human study is worthless, but animal studies did show some weight loss and fat loss benefits. It is possible that Glabrinex is a great supplement, but they will have to do more research to prove this to dieters who want proven weight loss ingredients.
