| Review Summary |
|
Cravex is a product that marketers claim has been clinically proven as an effective aid to weight loss. Almost all of the ingredients that go into this product have been examined for their effectiveness and it was only the main ingredient that was found to be questionable.
There are endless techniques and programs in the market which promise to help people get rid of excess poundage. All of these are packaged in such a way that they would create a strong impact on people who are desperate to find the most expedient way to lose weight. Naturally each product presents itself as the no sweat way to a slimmer body, the wonder formula that will finally solve their weight problem.
Cravex is no different. It is advertised as a product that curbs the appetite the “natural way” allowing users to easily shed excess pounds. Such a simple but promising offer would certainly get people interested. Some of the questions they would want to ask about this product are:
- Has the product been clinically proven safe?
- Does the product burn fat?
- Does the product increase metabolic rate?
- How does it affect carbohydrate intake?

|
| According to the makers, the product has been clinically proven to control carbohydrate. However, as of today, there hasn’t been any actual report presented on this purported clinical trial. Some people have tried to evaluate the effectiveness of Cravex based on its composition. |

| Clinical Studies |
This product comes in two versions. However, the differences in terms of composition between the two versions are not very clear. The ingredients included in the two Cravex formulations are: Carcinia Cambogia, Extract Chromium, Calcium, Green tea, and Caffeine.
The other name for Garcinia Cambogia extract is Citrimax. This substance a lot like HCA or hydorxycitric acid. At first it was believed that this substance was an effective appetite suppressant but studies done to evaluate its effectiveness did not yield positive enough results. Will Brink, the supplement guru, is convinced that the study was conducted using the wrong dosage of Citrimax. To be effective, the dosage should be at least 1,000 mg.
Chromium has been found to regulate blood sugar levels in the body. To find out more about Chromium, read the Bio Slim review.
Green tea leaves have been found to be effective for weight loss. Furthermore, it has been also been found that their effectiveness is greatly enhanced when combined with caffeine. Thus, adding this combination of ingredients to a weight loss formulation is supposed to boost its effectiveness. Green tea leaves oxidize fats, however, the results are not significant or noticeable enough.
Calcium plays a very important role in the development of the human body. According to studies, both adults and children with low calcium intake are more likely to have a higher body mass index. Individuals with a higher body max index are more likely to gain more weight than those with high calcium intake. Those who maintain a low calorie diet in order to lose weight are recommended to increase their consumption of calcium. Studies show that increasing one’s calcium intake by eating more dairy products is more effective than taking calcium supplements.

Side Effect
|
|
Based on the experiences of some former Cravex users, we can say this diet supplement does not cause any harmful side effects but only minor ones such as stomach aches.
|
|
| Bottomline |
|
Most of the ingredients in this product have been found to be effective in promoting weight loss except the main ingredient Garcinia Cambogia. The fact that there are no clinical studies on this latter ingredient raises some doubts about the effectiveness of the product in general. Do not expect any dramatic weight loss results from using this product. With Cravex, the most you would probably lose in a month would be 5 pounds and nothing more.
