Zalestra Review

What You Should Know

Zalestra is a weight loss product that is specifically aimed at menopausal and pre-menopausal women who, due to this time and change in their lives, have weight gain challenges. Zalestra is manufactured by Optimal Therapeutics. Those selling Zalestra say that it has been specially developed to help menopausal and pre-menopausal woman lose weight and that it will naturally support a women’s hormone balance. They claim that as well as helping you lose weight, Zalestra will also reduce the symptoms associate with menopause and that additional effect include alleviating hot flushes, mood swings and decreased energy.

Ingredients

The ingredients in Zalestra consist of Green Tea Extract, Guggul Extract, Octopalean, Maca Root Powder, Jojoba Meal Extract, Indole-3-Carbole, Borage Oil Powder, Mega Soy Extract, Manganese, Black Cohosh, DHEA, Vitex Fruit Extract and Bioperine.

Product Features

There is an official website for Zalestra and the product can be ordered directly online for a price of $49.85 for 90 capsules. There is also a 30 day money back guarantee. Some of the ingredients in Zalestra are also commonly present in other weight loss supplements. Green Tea Extract, for example, which is present in Zalestra is now one of the most commonly used ingredients in weight loss products on the market today. A number of the other ingredients such as Black Cohosh and Maca Root Powder are substances that have been used for hundreds of years in traditional medicine to relieve the classic symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes and mood swings. Soy Extract, which is also one of the ingredients in Zalestra, is coming in for increasing criticism from diet experts as they say that the effect of Soy, if used on a long term basis, is actually to disrupt the hormonal balance of the body.

Advantages

  • There is an official website for Zalestra.
  • You can order Zalestra directly on line.
  • There is a 30 day money back guarantee.

Disadvantages

  • Some diet experts now believe that Soy actually disrupts the hormone balance in the body rather than balancing it.
  • The manufacturers of Zalestra do not provide us with any clinical evidence that this supplement will procure weight loss during the menopause.
  • When treating a hormone-based condition such as menopause, it is wise to consult a health care professional.
  • The customer service policies for this product are not very clear.

Conclusion

There is no doubt that the times of pre-menopause and menopause in a woman’s life are challenging times. Many women are distressed by symptoms such as weight gain and mood swings and are searching for solutions. Zalestra certainly does contain some ingredients that have been used in traditional medicine to help women during menopause. At the moment, however, we do not have any proof that Zalestra is superior to other weight loss products directed at women during this time in their lives.

**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).
