Product Features
The product list for Nussentials includes Alert!, Cardio!, Less!, More!, Multi!, NuJava!, Qi, Relax!, Restore! and Run! Less! is the closest thing to a weight loss supplement. Created with rice bran and whey protein, Nussentials claims the powdered protein mix will reduce hunger and help a dieter reach weight loss goals. There are no appetite suppressants included in the supplement. It is possible to use the Less! shakes as meal replacements to control caloric intake. One scoop of Nussentials Less! has only 118 calories. With 20 grams of protein, 80 of the total calories per scoop are pure, lean protein.
Alert! is marketed as an energy supplement. The formula contains caffeine, green tea and Guarana. Green tea is proven to increase metabolism, but adding two more stimulants could make the supplement too strong for some dieters. The main ingredient in Alert! is aloe vera. Aloe vera is a natural laxative, which means any weight lost taking this supplement could be attributed to water loss from diarrhea.
Rice bran, the main ingredient in all Nussentials products contains arsenic. Arsenic is a carcinogenic that may lead to future health problems and potentially cancer. Nussentials sells all products online through an official storefront. Through the storefront, dieters can choose to order products as needed or place supplements on an auto-ship program for cheaper prices. Product prices for single orders range from $30 to $80.

Conclusion
Nussentials markets products to people wanting a more holistic lifestyle with whole rice bran and protein.

In terms of fitness, Nussentials does not offer supplements that will significantly increase weight loss or improve metabolism.

Arsenic is present in all agricultural products.Rice bran is safe and meets all regulatory requirements for food/feed.There is no credible scientific evidence linking consumption of rice products with cancer or any other health risk.I find your post irresponsible and void of any fact…aloe vera the main ingredient in !ALERT are you crazy? The main ingredient is B vitamins(B12-8333% of your RDA)less caffeine than a half cup of coffee. I take !ALERT everyday and love it…diarrhea, what a joke!

I agree, I take this product and your information is incorrect and unfounded. Alert is predominantly B12 and is not contraindicated in person’s with heart conditions, auto-immune or weight loss. Absolutely safe!
