Cylaris

The formula advertised for Cylaris contains: a blend of the herb Cissus quadrangularis for promoting weight loss and supporting cholesterol levels; Green Tea extract for enhancing thermogenesis; soy to support healthy cholesterol levels; chromium and selenium for enhancing the metabolism and supporting healthy blood sugar levels; and additional supportive vitamins.

We will look at the most active ingredients in greater depth.

Cissus quadrangularis is an herb that has supposedly been used for hundreds of years around the world. Apparently the herb has been used in traditional medicine for treating bone fractures and digestive problems, as well as ear and eye diseases. Recently, scientists have conducted research on its effectiveness and have found it to be beneficial for weight loss.

Green Tea is an extract that is popular in dietary supplements because it contains antioxidants and is believed to promote thermogenesis. It is also a source of caffeine, so while it may increase energy, it could also cause anxiety and insomnia in those who are sensitive to it.

This product comes in a caplet-based formula, and the manufacturer suggests taking two caplets with a glass of water twice daily, before meals. No more than four caplets should be consumed within a 24-hour period. The product may assist in supporting blood sugar levels and help promote fat burning, as mentioned, but will not help reduce cravings based on the formulation alone.

We feel that it may be more effective to combine use of this product with a proven appetite suppressant to help ensure that caloric intake is kept to a minimum. The cactus-like plant Hoodia Gordonii, from the deserts of Africa, has been shown to be effective for reducing hunger cravings.

This product has been advertised a lot on television lately. Unfortunately the formula is nothing new. We appreciate that the product has undergone one clinical study that suggests it might help dieters lose weight. Still, the product is fairly new and only the single study has been conducted, so the long-term risks are not known. While the product contains ingredients that may help stimulate fat burning, as mentioned, simply increasing energy is not enough for sufficiently burning fat, and a good appetite suppressant should be included in the formula.

Combining an energy enhancer with an appetite suppressant like Hoodia is a more reliable way to burn fat. Hoodia is particularly effective when combined with the patented bitter orange extract Advantra-Z, for enhancing energy; these two ingredients are available in many top quality products currently available, and have no known side effects associated with them. For guaranteed results, we recommend this combination for weight loss. Seek manufactures confident enough to offer a free sample for evaluation.
