Dexatrim Max Review

Dexatrim Max is a weight loss supplement that, according to its manufacturer, “Puts you in control with the power to fight hunger and cravings, fight fatigue, and fight metabolism slowdown.” However, clinical research fails to back up this claim. By fails, we mean it fails Ingredients

The following is the ingredient list from the Dexatrim Max package.

While these ingredients may look good on paper, they remain questionable. Dexatrim Max touts its inclusion of vitamins in this supplement, but they fail to mention the facts. One dietician explains, “Your body can absorb around 10 to 15% of the nutrients in a vitamin pill. The rest goes down the toilet as urine.
So for every $10.00 you spend on [vitamin] supplements, you could be flushing $8.50 down the toilet. Your money would be better spent on food. The human body prefers to take a food, break it down and take the nutrients it needs.”

Vitamin B6 keeps blood glucose within the normal range. However, taking a B6 supplement helps only if you are deficient in this vitamin. Otherwise it does not help.

The effects of chromium in weight loss are still considered questionable by researchers. One study explains, “A recent reviewof 24 studies that examined the effects of 200 to 1,000 mcg/day of chromium (in the form of chromium picolinate) on body mass or composition found no significant benefits. Another recent review of randomized, controlled clinical trials did find supplements of chromium picolinate to help with weight loss when compared to placebos, but the differences were small and of debatable clinical relevance. In several studies, chromium’s effects on body weight and composition may be called into question because the researchers failed to adequately control for the participants’ food intakes. Furthermore, most studies included only a small number of subjects and were of short duration.”

We like green tea as a diet pill ingredient, as it’s been proven effective in aiding weight loss. The problem with Dexatrim Max is not that it has Green Tea in it, it’s that the amount is so unbelievably small that the diet pill user will derive little or no benefit from it.

Research on ginseng as a contributor to weight loss has shown the following, “Although preliminary data suggest that ginseng (Panax ginseng) may improve glucose tolerance, no RCTs in humans
have shown greater weight loss with ginseng compared with Max Review Conclusion

Dexatrim Max may look good when you first glance at the label with its high levels of vitamins, but in the end, nearly all the ingredients prove to be questionable in their contribution to weight loss. Dexatrim Max makes some lofty claims including, “Fight these diet downfalls with the newest ephedra free, multi-vitamin dietary supplement ONLY from Dexatrim. Dexatrim Maxâ„¢ gives you an activating complex you can feel working that…

FIGHTS hunger and cravings with a complete daily dose of B vitamins and ginseng

FIGHTS lack of energy with its exclusive Vitabolic Energy Boost and clinically-proven dosage of EGCG from Green Tea

FIGHTS stress-induced eating and weight gain with powerful anti-oxidants and key metabolism boosting ingredients.

Until Dexatrim Max either 1) increases the amount of effective ingredients in their products or 2) changes the formula to reflect something that could actually deliver on it claims, we suggest you look elsewhere for a weight loss supplement.
