Dr. Whitaker

Each one-month kit from Dr. Whitaker comes with a canister of the Healthy Reward Meal Replacement Shake, one bottle of Metabolic Essentials, a shaker and a written guide that offers meal and exercise advice.

Metabolic Essentials includes the following ingredients within its formulation: Chromium, Green Tea Extract, Coleus Forskohlii Root, Cocoa Extract and Almond Oil Blend.

The Healthy Reward Meal Replacement Shake contains: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Calcium, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Magnesium and Zinc.

Overall, the contained ingredients in these supplements may provide users with a variety of vitamins and minerals that are essential to every day health. While it is possible to obtain these nutrients through basic foods, some consumers may prefer knowing the exact amount of vitamins they are ingesting each day. These mixtures are not unique as many of the ingredients are easily found in an assortment of diet products already on the market, though they may help boost the immune system as well as increase energy levels a bit.

The only contained ingredient that we are concerned about is the Green Tea contained in Metabolic Essentials. This is a derivative of Caffeine, which is a central nervous system stimulant. Often stimulant-based products are associated with unwanted side effects such as jitteriness, nausea and insomnia, which is why there are now fat burners available that are not necessarily stimulant based, yet are still able to provide fat reduction benefits. Some consumers may prefer finding a product that contains such a fat burner.

The Dr. Whitaker products do not have their own unique website, but there is product description provided for each of their supplements. We do appreciate that the company displays the complete ingredients list, since its important consumers have access to this information to avoid any potential allergic reactions.

Though, the large inventory of this manufacturer does make it confusing to navigate through the site, and we were disappointed that there were not posted testimonials from past consumers who have achieved weight loss success due to this kit at this time.

• Company posts a basic website
• Meal Replacement Shake provides common amino acids

• Product contains Caffeine
• Overly expensive
• No free trial
• No posted testimonials, at time of review

Ultimately, this product is likely to interest consumers who desire a meal replacement approach to weight loss. Oftentimes, this type of plan is hard to follow as food cravings and hunger may occur for some. Also, following the dosage schedule of two separate supplements may not be convenient. Consumers may prefer a more comprehensive approach to weight loss by using a single product, which offers a complete formulation. There are natural supplements available that provide a patented fat burner as well as a proven appetite suppressant, which may lead to pleasing end results.

However, those consumers who are interested in Dr. Whitaker’s weight loss kit may be disappointed by the rather expensive price. A one-month supply costs nearly $75. Though, the manufacturer does offer discounts for the three month kit, which would still be fairly expensive since it breaks down to be $66.66 a month. In the end seek manufactures which offer free samples for your evaluation.
