Helios Review

What You Should Know

Helios is an injectable supplement currently sold by a European company called General Supplements, and it is currently a controversial (but popular) supplement with bodybuilders. Helios claims it can spot reduce and eliminate fat where it is injected due to its Clenbuterol and Yohimbe extracts which supposedly break up fat. It is said to act similarly to Ephedrine. Helios itself is banned in the United States because the substances contained are illegal and comparable to HGH, a type of steroid.

Helios claims that it can spot reduce simply by injecting its formula into problematic areas but the ingredients are a main concern here. These ingredients might even pose a dangerous health risk to some dieters. For some desperate enough to want to lose weight, however, they may consider Helios an appropriate choice. Let’s look into its controversial formulation.

Ingredients

According to a bodybuilding website, Helios contains Clenbuterol and Yohimbine HCL, a synthetic form of Yohimbe.

Product Features

Clenbuterol and Yohimbe are the only substances included in Helios, and both ingredients carry dangerous and controversial connotations. Clenbuterol is currently banned in all professional sports and in the Olympics because it is considered a stimulant, and any claims about its diet-related effects are unsubstantiated at this time. Clenbuterol is commonly prescribed to asthma sufferers because of its ability to relax muscles and diet companies have commonly perpetuated its dietary myths based on this fact. What is fact is that there is no evidence it helps decrease fat, and in fact may pose some health risks if abused.

Yohimbine HCL, the synthetic form of Yohimbe, is usually used as an easier way to obtain the substance, but even this substance does not have any documented benefits for dieters. Yohimbe is commonly used as treatment for erectile dysfunction or other sexual disorders, but it does not eliminate fat or cause weight loss where it is applied. It shares a couple of similar properties with Clenbuterol, however, including the ability to relax the muscles. Yohimbe is a very popular supplement in bodybuilding communities nevertheless, but current claims about its effectiveness cannot be proven. It also comes with a slew of unwanted side effects such as dizziness and an abnormally fast heart rate.

It is interesting to note that most bodybuilders who claimed to use Helios say it helped reduce the fat in the injection site. It may be another point to consider.

Advantages

  • Available online through various online stores.
  • Bodybuilders claim it helped spot reduce with continuous use.

Disadvantages

  • Contains an ingredient currently banned in most professional sports.
  • Both ingredients come with dangerous side effects.
  • Does not appear to be available in the United States.

Conclusion

Helios is a popular substance with bodybuilders, who claim Helios helped spot reduce certain areas where injected, but actual proof backing up these ingredients are slim. Both ingredients pose dangerous health risks, and we usually do not recommend dieters take substances that are banned or illegal in certain professions. For Europeans, however, seeking injections to treat weight loss may be one choice, provided proper research is completed beforehand.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

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).
