HealthyTrim Review — Diet Supplements Comparison (2012)

Healthy Trim is a weight loss supplement manufactured by HealthyLife Sciences, containing natural ingredients including:

• green tea leaf extract
• resveratrol
• coix seed and
• hoodia

Healthe Trim is marketed as a thermo-energy booster and the company claims those using the product can ‘get high school skinny’ and lose anything from five pounds, to 20 or more. The product comes with a 30-day money back guarantee if you don’t get the result you want. Healthe Trim is the brainchild of Scott Carroll MD, a weight loss and nutrition specialist based in Atlanta. The recommended dosage for Healthe Trim is two tablets first thing in the morning.

• Contains high levels of caffeine, so may work for some people if taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and proper exercise
• All natural ingredients so little chance of any side effects
• Contains resveratrol, a well-known antioxidant, and good levels of trace minerals. Cassia seed and methionine have good detoxifying properties which may help with weight loss.

Other natural weight loss products similar to Healthe Trim include Quick Trim and Nuphedrine. Quick Trim has a wider variety of products ranging from herbal supplements, to diet shakes and cleansers but has no clinical trials to back up its product claims and contains very high levels of caffeine. However, its products are available from numerous retailers and websites. Nuphedrine also contains natural herbs including hoodia and has a 60-day money back guarantee and clinical trials backing up its claims. As with Healthe Trim, Nuphedrine is only available via the company’s website but it does offer a free trial of the product.

The main featured ingredients of Healthe Trim are green tea leaf extract, resveratrol, coix seed, caralluma fimbriata and hoodia.

• The product also contains: cassia seed, chromium picolinate, cumquat, eleutherococcus senticosus, gymnema sylvestre, lotus leaf, methionine, mulberry leaf, poria cocos, pyruvate, trace minerals and water plantain.
• Although the company claims extensive clinical trials on its product, there is no real scientific evidence that any of these ingredients, with the exception of green tea, actually work for weight loss. Caffeine, found in green tea, has been shown to be a reasonably effective appetite suppressant.
• A 30-day supply (60 tablets) costs $54.95 and while there are no contraindications to the product, the website advises that Healthe Trim not be taken in the evening due to its high caffeine content which may keep some people awake.

Reactions to the effectiveness of Healthe Trim are mixed. One user said: “I have tried healthy trim and it did not work for me.” However, another satisfied customer said: “I'm in the process of taking Healthe Trim and I can start to see the difference. Yes, there are rules you have to follow. You MUST follow them or it will not work such as, drinking lots of water, no caffeinated drinks, proper diet and exercise. Overall, I think it's worth it.” Xomba reviews on Healthe Trim.
