Best Fat BurnersCommon questions about Alpilean
Note, the entire blend of all Alpilean ingredients is 250mg, meaning nothing here can be properly dosed.
Golden Algae - There is pretty much no evidence to suggest that Golden Algae works for weight loss. There have been a couple of trials on mice and on stem cells, [1] but, nothing substantial whatsoever. It's obviously good for your health, rich in omega's etc. But, isn't going to help you lose weight.
African Mango Seed - One of the most commonly under dosed ingredients in low quality weight loss supplements, African mango seed has unfortunately been shown to not be as effective as originally hoped. It's not completely terrible, but in the mid 2000s there was one that suggested it looked incredibly promising as a thermogenic agent. However, said study was funded by a supplements company, and there were several convenient drop outs not included in the final results (who's reason for dropping out was that they weren't losing weight fast enough) [2] which obviously tilted the end results in favor of the supplement.
Other studies later showed that there was some benefit, in that people taking the supplement lost 9lbs more than the placebo group over a 10 week period [3]. It's an OK inclusion in Alpilean, if the ingredient is in a high enough dosage, but, it can't possibly be. You need 300mg of African Mango Seed for it to be effective, and Alpilean's entire blend is 250mg.
Bitter Orange - Names as bigarade orange in alpilean, this ingredient has long since been debunked as a weight loss aid [4]. There were some initial rat trials that showed it as effective, but this did not translate to human studies. Poor ingredient choice for the alpilean weight loss supplement.
Moringa Leaf - Moringa leaf can work [5] but only if dosed in 150mg per pound of body weight of the person taking the supplement, as the entire Alpilean weight reduction pill weighs 250mg it's not going to do anything at all to help you lose weight.
Ginger Root - Ginger has a massive host of benefits, however, for any of them it needs to be dosed at around 3 grams, again, not possible in alpilean weight loss pills. It's also not exactly great for weight loss, it can reduce bloating and can actually raise testosterone levels in some men, which in turn could help build muscle and with fat burning, but it's not really a good inclusion in alpilean.
Turmeric Root - Much like ginger, turmeric has a lot of benefits and needs to be dosed in grams to be effective, the problem is that the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, only actually makes up about 20% of turmeric extract and typically needs to be dosed in 500-1000mg to be effective. Whereas the alpilean supplement doesn't have enough room for this. It's good for inflammation and muscle recovery if you're working out, so could help you train harder, and some recent studies have shown it could have some benefit to weight loss, but not any old turmeric will do and alpilean unfortunately doesn't have enough curcumin to help you lose weight.
