Fat Grabbers is a weight loss supplement that contains fiber-rich ingredients such as guar gum and psyllium to get rid of fat.

These two ingredients, which are commonly used in dietary supplements, have very few reported risks. Fat Grabbers is supposed to have been tested for its effectiveness as a weight loss product. It is distributed by a company called Healthy Warehouse under the Nature’s Sunshine Label.

Fat Grabbers is advertised as having the ability to grab fat from food eaten, reduce fat through elimination and maintain cholesterol at low levels. It appears that this supplement targets fat from different angles.
In this review, we shall take a closer look at the Fat Grabber formula, specifically its ingredients to determine whether or not it can actually “grab” fat.

Gurar Gum which comes from guar bean, is traditionally found in India. It is commonly used as a thickener in various commercial products such as toothpaste and food ingredients. Guar gum is said to create a feeling of fullness in the stomach when ingested which may be the reason why it has been included in this product’s formula. However, Guar gum is not a benign substance as it has been associated with esophageal, intestinal and gastric complications.

Psyllium is a popular ingredient used in many over-the-counter laxatives. It helps in the cleansing and detoxification of the colon by supporting healthy colon structure and maintaining proper bowel functioning. Psyllium appears to be also useful in cholesterol and blood sugar reduction, hemorrhoids and yeast infection treatments.

Lecithin is produced in the liver. It offers many health benefits and Choline, which is one of its components, is a fat digestive ingredient. Aside from this, choline may also help in lowering cholesterol.

Although Fat Grabbers is being marketed as safe and proven, the 1992 FDA ban on guar gum seems to say otherwise. According to the website, the ingredients have been tested in their laboratories and that the findings are supported by research found in other studies. However, there is no other information that can be found on any of these studies.

The website content talks about Fat Grabbers as an “overall weight-management program”, a rather vague concept veiled in ambiguous language. Fortunately, there are other weight loss programs available which do not contain potentially risky ingredients and these deliver positive results.

Positives

• Ingredients promote colon health
• Free Membership with $40 purchase

Negatives

• 4 capsules must be taken per meal
• May trigger allergic reactions in some users
• Some ingredients pose potential risks to the health

Fat Grabbers is advertised as the ideal supplement free from “questionable ingredients” for people who would like to reduce the amount of fat in their diet. However, while its main ingredients, guar gum and psyllium, may be helpful for digestion, these do not do much in terms of calorie reduction and thermogenesis.

The other ingredients in the formula may aid in weight loss but it may be wiser instead to simply turn to other products in the market that use more effective ingredients to accomplish the same purpose.

Moreover, despite the fact that Fat Grabbers is supposed to work in combination with a sensible diet plan, the website fails to include any information on what the diet plan is all about. Fat grabbers claims to be a part of an overall weight management plan but may not exactly function as a weight loss catalyst. There are many well-known dietary supplements that use safe ingredients which also provide users with a weight loss and management plan. These plans are often detailed and backed by reliable resource materials.
