ThermoPlus Review

What You Should Know

ThermoPlus by Advocare is a weight loss supplement designed for people looking to have a healthy metabolism and suppress their appetite. The key ingredients in ThermoPlus’s formula are sage extract, oolong tea extract, guarana extract, thiamine and niacin. The product’s webpage contains 4 customer testimonials claiming that the formula benefits very well as a weight loss program. All of these claims suggest using ThermoPlus along with other Advocare products like Spark energy drink and Catalyst. Here, we will try to decipher if ThermoPlus can promise any weight loss benefits when taken by its self.

Ingredients

Sage extract, oolong tea extract, guarana extract, thiamine, niacin.

Product Features

The ThermoPlus website does not even attempt to scientifically explain how their product works. The link for Product Page leads to a downloadable brochure featuring an analysis of the product. Statements like “Sage works to support weight loss” are not backed up by any clinical studies, they are simply followed with an asterisk claiming they are not evaluated by the FDA.

The ingredient list does not state which of the eight families of Sage their extract comes from. Oolong tea is included in this formula to serve a similar purpose to that of Green Tea. There is no evidence showing that oolong tea can be beneficial in a weight loss program or if it is responsible for any level of caffeine in this supplement. Guarana has been backed by some clinical studies as a metabolism booster, a fat cell reducer, and an antioxidant. This plant is generally regarded as safe in America. Thiamin, or Vitamin B1, helps convert blood sugar into energy and is a very important element in muscle building. Niacin is also needed for over fifty body processes like metabolizing proteins.

Advantages

  • Niacin and Thiamin are beneficial and essential vitamins.
  • Levels of ingredient dosages are safe.
  • Guarana has been suggested to improve mood and alertness.

Disadvantages

  • Claims lack clinical studies.
  • Customer testimonials seem to be advertisements for other Advocare products.
  • Niacin as a supplement can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • Guarana can cause dizziness, headaches, and jitters.

Conclusion

The ingredients of ThermoPlus are primarily botanicals that promise an increase in energy and a boost in metabolism. The way it works is simple: the energy you get from the guarana and the tea gives you energy when you exercise. Other than that, this product does not perform thermogenesis (fat burning) when taken by its self. There is a reason why Advocare always recommends taking their products along with additional products: because one can’t get the job done alone.

**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).
