Summary

Anoretix has received many positive reviews. It contains nine patented and clinically tested weight loss ingredients. It is a common mistake, however, to believe that “patented” means 100% proven and effective. Anoretix is claimed to provide the following benefits: reduction of body fat, promotion of healthy cholesterol levels, enhancement of thermogenesis, and the promotion of normal insulin function and blood sugar levels. Anoretix does contain some excellent ingredients. Unfortunately, their concentrations have not been revealed, so it is not possible to gauge if they are present in large enough amounts to be effective. Actual clinical studies have not been carried out on the efficacy of the product itself, but the studies that have been undertaken on the individual ingredients have shown promising results.

Pros:

• Clinically evaluated ingredients

• No reported side-effects

• Many positive reviews

Cons:

• Clinical studies have not been carried out on the product itself

• Contact details for the manufacturer are limited to an email address. No telephone number or mailing address is given – often a red flag

• Some negative testimonials have been posted related to the efficacy of Anoretix

Anoretix Ingredients

Many of the ingredients included in this formula need to be present in significant amounts to elicit weight loss. For example, a daily dose of around 3 grams of CLA (Tonalin) is required (Am. J. Clin. Nutr. [2007] 85(5):1203-11) to promote weight loss.

The daily recommended dose of Anoretix totals 3080 mg (or 4 capsules) of active ingredients. So the product cannot contain anywhere near the optimal dose of CLA. The same will more than likely hold true for many of the other ingredients in Anoretix.

Anoretix‘s ingredients are:

Super CitriMax has been demonstrated clinically to reduce appetite, burn fat and lower blood cholesterol levels. Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (Washington, DC) and Andhra University (Visakhapatnam, India) have demonstrated that Super CitriMax can inhibit appetite, promote thermogenesis without apparent side effects. The compound also promotes healthy blood lipid levels. In an 8 week clinical study subjects lost close to 12 pounds taking Super CitriMax as compared to only 2.3 pounds in the placebo group. The dose of Super CitriMax used in the study was 4667 mg divided into 3 daily doses (J. Med. [2004] 35(1-6):33-48). This dose is well above the daily dosage provided by Anoretix.

Interestingly, Super CitriMax has also been shown to increase levels of serum serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep and appetite control. This could help aleviate emotional issues related to weight gain.

Tonalin CLA is extracted from safflower oil. Many years of research indicate that CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) suppresses the enzyme that promotes the storage of body fat. Tonalin CLA is the highest quality form of CLA available.

Advantra-Z is a patented form of Synephrine, an alkaloid that is derived from Citrus aurantium. It is considered as a safe alternative to the now banned Ephedra and is believed to promote thermogenesis. Synephrine has replaced Ephedra in many popular fat burners. Manufacturers claim that Synephrine provides the “fat burning” effects of Ephedra, but without side effects such as sleeplessness, jitters, elevated blood pressure, etc. There are studies, however, that indicate that Synephrine can elevate blood pressure and heart rate (e.g. Ann. Pharmacother. [2006] 40(1):53-7).

NeOpuntia (Opuntia ficus-indica) is a patented cactus extract composed of soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. These fibers are claimed to bind dietary fat and thus prevents it from being absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical study supporting this claim was very small and only involved 10 subjects. The participants in this study received 4800 mg of NeOpuntia daily. Again, a daily serving of Anoretix only contains 3080 mg of active ingredients, so it is pretty likely that the amount of NeOpuntia included in this formula falls short of the dose shown to be effective.

Phase 2 is an all-natural ingredient extracted from white kidney beans. It has been demonstrated clinically that it can neutralize the digestive enzyme alpha amylase, preventing it from converting starch into glucose and subsequently fat. Thus, Phase-2 facilitates the passage of carbohydrates (rice, pasta, corn, crackers, breads, etc.) through the digestive tract with reduced intake into the body.

ForsLean (Coleus forskholii) is a herb that has been demonstrated to enhance lipolysis. It may also inhibit fat storage. Another way that ForsLean may promote fat loss is by stimulating thyroid hormone (Thyroxin) production. Thyroxin controls metabolism and can enhance metabolic rate, promoting fat loss. In an 8 week clinical study subjects taking ForsLean lost on average 9.9 lbs of body weight compared to the placebo group where only 1.1 lbs of fat was lost.

7-Keto is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA, a steroid hormone produced in the body, and believed to enhance metabolism. As we age our metabolism slows down. Supplementing with 7-Keto is believed to promote a more youthful metabolism. When used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program, the compound can accelerate weight loss. 7-Keto has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on thyroid hormone levels in obese people. A clinical study demonstrated that taking 7-Keto resulted in significant reductions in body fat. Over an 8 week period the average subject lost 6.3 lbs as compared with 2.1 lbs in the placebo group.

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. Clinical studies have shown that when combined with exercise and a sensible diet, ChromeMate helps maintain healthy body weight and promotes normal energy metabolism.

Bioperine is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper), or Piper longum L (long pepper), that contains 95 percent Piperine. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine increases the body’s natural thermogenic activity. It also enhances the body’s absorption of nutrients.
