Waterex Review

What You Should Know

Waterex is a GNC product, which means that it is produced by a large company that has been known for generations to provide high quality supplements and health food items to the general public through their stores and website. Waterex takes a different approach to weight loss than many other supplements on the market today by targeting water balance in the body rather than fat burning and appetite suppression. While it may be true that you can lose a few pounds from water retention, especially just before the menstrual period, this is not the type of weight loss that will be permanent, and often a loss of water weight is not very noticeable except when you step onto the scale.

GNC claims that Waterex is an all natural supplement that will maintain water balance in the body as it feeds beneficial herbs and other nutrients into it. The information on the company website is limited; however, a complete ingredient listing is available. The product is available for sale through GNC stores and through the company website, and Waterex sells for about $13 at the time of this review.

List of Ingredients

The ingredients in the Waterex supplement include vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium, green tea leaves extract, a vegetable blend of garlic, asparagus and celery, parsley, Uva Ursi extract, Buchu leaves extract, Melilot flower extract, couchgrass powder, corn silk, hydrangea root powder and juniper berries extract.

Product Features

Magnesium and potassium are electrolytes that play a key role in the water balance in the body. While the rest of the ingredients certainly won’t do the body any harm, we do not find any that will particularly benefit in terms of weight loss either. The best substances to look for in a long-term weight loss supplement are, in our opinion, ones that have been formulated to stimulate the body’s own thermogenic process. This product does not seem to contain any such ingredients, and seems to be made up mostly of various diuretics.

GNC does offer a 30-day money back guarantee on all of its products including Waterex, whether purchased in the store or online. The company also provides the opportunity to become a gold card member, which allows the users discounts on purchases and additional information that provides health news and coupons.

Advantages

  • The full Waterex ingredient list is disclosed on the company website.
  • The product comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.

Disadvantages

  • Waterex is primarily focused on water balance in the body, not on weight loss.
  • We were unable to find Waterex customer testimonials on the company website.
  • There is no proven appetite suppressant or fat burner included in the formula.

Conclusion

While Waterex may have some health benefits, permanent weight loss is not going to be one of them. The best formula for a weight loss supplement will combine proven thermogenic ingredients that can effectively accelerate the fat burning process and suppress the appetite. When a supplement with these ingredients is combined with daily exercise and a low calorie, healthy diet, weight loss can indeed happen and you can be sure that those pounds will stay off for awhile. Waterex may help you drop a pound or two of water retention, but it won’t get you anywhere with a serious weight loss program.

**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).
