Mild headaches or increased heart rate can result from taking Avesil. The manufacturer recommends that Avesil should not be used with prescription (or pharmaceutical) drugs. Individuals with: high blood pressure; cardiovascular disease; liver disease; thyroid disease; diabetes; anemia; anxiety; depression; seizure disorder; stroke; difficulty in urination due to prostate enlargement; and psychiatric diseases are advised not to take Avesil.

Avesil ingredients

There are 4 primary ingredients (Avesil also contains 150 mg of calcium and 210 mg of potassium per serving). A single serving (2 capsules) provides:

1. 150mg green tea extract
2. 50mg caffeine anmhydrous
3. 133mcg chromium polynicotinate (ChromeMate)
4. 900mg Super Citrimax

All four ingredients are proven constituents in weight loss supplements. Super Citrimax and ChromeMate play a lead role in Avesil, as they are purported to boost energy levels, as well as increase the body’s ability to burn fat. Super Citrimax, which is a patented version of hydroxycitric acid, is also believed to be able to augment lipid metabolism.

Looking at the ingredients in greater detail:

Green tea extract: There is evidence to indicate that green tea offers benefits to slimmers. Studies have shown that the tea can elevate metabolism and inhibit the action of the enzyme amalyse. Research has demonstrated that it is one essential catechin, EGCG, in combination with caffeine that is the main active ingredient in the green tea extract. Green tea contains about half the amount of caffeine found in coffee, so moderate consumption of green tea is unlikely to cause problems for the majority of people. If sensitive to caffeine, potential side-effects can include: restlessness, irritability, sleeping problems, tremor, heart palpitations, loss of appetite, upset stomach, nausea, frequent urination and skin rash.

Caffeine: This compound is a thermogenic agent with clinically proven benefits for weight loss. Caffeine is a stimulant-based ingredient used in soft drinks, energy drinks and dietary supplements. Caffeine can optimize energy, stimulate thermogenesis and increase mental focus. Caffeine may cause jitters, insomnia, headaches, increased heart rate and raised blood pressure.

Chromium polynicotinate (ChromeMate): Chromium Polynicotinate is a niacin-bound chromium complex that plays an important role in the regulation of insulin function, and the maintenance of healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels. As such, the inclusion of chromium in any weight loss product could potentially be beneficial. There are no reported side effects in using ChromeMate.

Garcinia cambogia fruit extract (SuperCitrimax): A single serving of Avesil provides 900 mg of SuperCitrimax. A full day’s dosage of 6 capsules provides 2,700 mg. Super CitriMax has been demonstrated clinically to reduce appetite, burn fat and lower blood cholesterol levels. The active ingredient, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), in Super Citrimax is derived from the rind of the Garcinia cambogia fruit. This fruit is native to India and has been a part of the diet there for centuries.

Review of scientific studies has demonstrated that HCA and Super Citrimax do not cause adverse side effects in healthy individuals. The quantity and quality of scientific evidence is sufficient to support the safe use of HCA at doses of up to 2,800 mg daily [4,667 mg of Super Citrimax]. However, patients taking oral hypoglycemic agents are advised to use caution before using HCA, due to the possibility of exacerbating the action of hypoglycemic medications. Consult a physician before commencing use.

Individuals diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus should use extreme caution in taking HCA/Garcinia cambogia due to its glycemic action. Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia syndromes should also avoid using HCA. Pending additional research HCA as found in Super Citrimax is viewed as safe and non-toxic for most healthy adult individuals.
