VivaSlim Review

What You Should Know

When a world-renowned physicist was alerted to the fact that his health was in grave danger due to his weight, the result was the product known as VivaSlim. VivaSlim is offered in two different types; the original formula and VivaSlim Chocolate, a dark chocolate containing ingredients that claim to help you lose weight. While we found a handful of online retailers that offer these two products, we were unable to locate a company or product website for VivaSlim. The company the makes VivaSlim is VivaTRU, which also markets a number of other natural products for a variety of purposes.

We are concerned about the fact that we are unable to find a corporate presence for this product on the Internet. We did find references to a VivaSlim website in some of the information we located, so it appears that the company website no longer exists. We believe this does not instill confidence in the company or the product, and also means that important manufacturer policy information like money back guarantees, customer testimonials and complete ingredient lists are hard to come by.

List of Ingredients

The ingredients in the VivaSlim product include Minatrol™, Momordica, Fenugreek, ForsLean®, CF Formula, Gymnema Sylvestre, Gugulipid®, Bioprene®, Vanadyl Sulfate, Magnesium Citrate\Malate, Chromium Polynicotinate in a vegetable-based capsule.

Product Features

Fenugreek is an herb that can aid in the regulation of blood sugar and glucose levels in the body. It is also high in fiber, contributing to a healthier digestive system and making you feel fuller so you eat less. Momordica is another herb that can contribute to healthier blood sugar levels. Biopren increases the body’s thermogenic response, possibly allowing you to increase metabolism and burn calories at a more efficient rate.

The chocolate version of VivaSlim contains similar ingredients to the original formula, but comes in a rich dark chocolate piece that claims to also curb a sweet tooth. Dark chocolate is said to be rich in antioxidants, which can fight the free radicals in our environment that can accelerate the aging process and heighten the risk for a variety of diseases.

Advantages

  • The product claims to be all natural and toxin free.
  • VivaSlim was developed to stimulate the thermogenic process.s

Disadvantages

  • Lack of an online presence means customer testimonials, money back guarantees and free samples are hard to come by.
  • The product does not contain proven ingredients like Advatra Z and hooodia gordonii.
  • VivaSlim is only available at a handful of online retailers.

Conclusion

While an all natural, toxin free formula is definitely a positive step in meeting your weight loss goals, we don’t believe the VivaSlim formula has the proper oomph to help you meet your goals. With a lack of an online presence and effective ingredients conspicuously absent in the ingredient list, we believe there are better products available to sink your diet aid dollars into. The dark chocolage VivaSlim could be worth a try if you crave sweets, however.

**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).
