Review Summary
|
|
Envision Women’s Weight Loss Formula from Envision has, according to the website description, “combined all of your essential daily supplements into one convenient packet”. As the name suggests, it is a product specially formulated for women.
Women’s weight loss products abound in the market and to find the one that works best, it is important to look beyond the hype and zero in on the formula. The ingredients hold the key in determining whether the claims being made about what the product can do are true or not.

Ingredients in Focus
|
|
This product aims to address the weight loss issue from several fronts. Initially, it may seem that the product is doing a good thing, however in our opinion, in trying to do so much, the quality of the product is compromised. This product for instance contains quite a number of stimulants such as caffeine and Green Tea to increase metabolism. At the same time however, it also has Valerian Root which is a sedative. We believe that since these herbal extracts work counterproductively, the tendency is to neutralize each other’s effect on weight loss or “stress reduction”.
This product also works as a cleanser thus the inclusion of
Cascara Sagrada and Psyllium Seed Husk in its formula. Cascara Sagrada is a highly potent laxative used in many constipation remedies. It has many side-effects however, and these include abdominal cramps, loss of bodily fluids and melanosis coli which is a dark discoloration in the colon. It would have been better if this information had been posted on the website. The cleansing process can be very unpleasant and may affect one’s lifestyle as it involves an increase in the amount and frequency and amount of bowel movements.

Potential customers are not provided with enough information about the product. Testimonials play an important role in the promotion of any weight loss supplement. Most of the time, testimonials come from satisfied customers who are enthusiastic about the results they have experienced and they simply want to share it with others. Of course, not all feedback are positive and yet some sites still choose to post them. On the website for this product, there are some rather negative testimonials included. From experience we have noticed that people who achieve their weight loss goals with the help of a product often take the time to write a testimonial or customer review.

Final Thoughts
|
|
We believe that in attempting to do too much, the quality of this product suffers. It is an inefficient way to create weight loss and users would most likely be disappointed with the results, or lack of it. Furthermore, some of the ingredients cause unpleasant side-effects such as increased quantity and frequency of bowel movements.
Having said that, we were happy to see that this product contained Hoodia, a powerful and proven appetite suppressant. It works best with Advantra-Z®, a potent thermogenic agent. Unfortunately this formula does not contain the latter ingredient.
