We answer some of the most commonly asked questions that came up when researching our Puralean Review.
Another problem that we have with PuraLean is that they use
a proprietary blend which means that the couple of ingredients that they do
actually get right are probably not actually in effective dosages. They have
moved on from their old formula which mostly contained the debunked ingredient
of raspberry ketones, but the new blend doesn’t look much better.
Guggul:
Guggul is a resin extract from the Commiphora Mukul tree. It contains an
active compound called guggulsterone, which is believed to affect weight
loss and improve blood lipid levels, but there is absolutely no clinical
research to back this up.
Cinnamon:
A spice that has been used in herbal medicines for centuries. It is known
to aid blood circulation in the body but isn't known for helping weight
loss.
Cayenne:
Cayenne is a pepper that contains capsaicin. It is believed to aid with
weight loss by curbing the appetite, speeding up metabolism, and burning
body fat for energy. However, there is no indication of the amount of
cayenne included in the formulation, so we have no idea if the dose would
prove effective. We suspect not, seeing as it’s quite low down the ingredients
list, and to be quite frank even if it was in the correct dosage, it’s pretty
much the bottom of the barrel for ingredients that actually work. We like
to see it in fat burners that have higher dosages. But, in something that is
a combined total of 600mg like Puralean this is completely wasted.
White
Mulberry: White mulberry leaf extract is believed to have the ability to
boost brown adipose tissue levels and also improve insulin resistance in
the body. While this is an excellent ingredient to include in a weight
loss formula, again, we have no idea about the dose and if it is large
enough to be effective.
Gymnema
Sylvestre: The addition of this ingredient would somewhat validate the
manufacturer's claims that PuraLean helps to boost heart health. Gymnema
Sylvestre contains compounds believed to be cardioprotective, but as far
as weight loss is concerned, there isn't anything at all to suggest it works.
Puralnean also contains a vitamin blend, but this is nothing special that you couldn't get from a $10 multivitamin.
The manufacturer claims that PuraLean supports weight loss,
heart health and your immune system while boosting your energy. However, we can
find no evidence or research results behind these ingredients to back up these
claims. The science simply isn't there.
