The Ingredient Report

Ingredients

• Orange Powder
• Coleus Forskohlii "ForsLean®"
• Garcinia Cambogia "GarCitrin®"
• Black Pepper "BioPerine®"
• Green Tea Extract
• White Kidney Bean Extract
• Enokitake Mushroom Extract

Editorial Verdict

Combines Garcinia Cambogia and Green Tea Extract, both of which have appeared in case reports discussing rare liver enzyme elevation with prolonged or high-dose use. BioPerine® is included to boost absorption of every other active — which also means your liver processes a higher effective concentration. Worth checking for medication interactions before long-term use.

Assessment

Ingredients

• Garcinia Cambogia — 95% HCA, 1,400mg/serving

Editorial Verdict

A single-ingredient formula at a high concentration — 1,400mg of a 95% HCA extract is on the upper end of what's typical in this category. Garcinia Cambogia has isolated case reports of liver enzyme elevation tied to higher doses or prolonged use, and a single-ingredient formula leaves less room to argue the dose is "spread thin." The "good mood assistance" claim also deserves scrutiny — it isn't explained on the label.

Assessment

Ingredients

• Garcinia Cambogia
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Fibersol-2
• Compound Golden Extract (undisclosed)

Editorial Verdict

Built on a familiar Garcinia Cambogia + Apple Cider Vinegar pairing. The packaging's claim that an 8-week study's results "apply equally to everyone" isn't a responsible representation of how supplements work — individual response varies. "Compound Golden Extract" is a proprietary name with no disclosed contents, making it impossible to independently assess for safety or interactions.

Assessment

Ingredients

• Green Tea Extract
• Soy Isoflavones
• Fucoxanthin
• Jerusalem Artichoke Extract
• White Kidney Bean Extract
• Garcinia Cambogia

Editorial Verdict

A "kitchen sink" formula targeting six mechanisms at once. The White Kidney Bean and Jerusalem Artichoke additions are well-studied and lower-risk. The core caution is combining Green Tea Extract and Garcinia Cambogia in one formula — both separately flagged in liver-safety literature, with limited research on how they interact together long-term.

Assessment

Ingredients

• L-carnitine Tartrate
• Green Tea Extract
• Silica (excipient)
• Magnesium Stearate (excipient)

Label Details

Iconic ingredients: per 100g — 30g L-carnitine, 7.0g tea polyphenols.

Suitable population: Simple obesity population, per label.

Unsuitable population: Children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers, per label.

Dosage: 2 capsules, 3 times daily (6 capsules/day, 60 capsules per bottle).

Manufacturer disclaimer (as printed): Not a substitute for medicine; not recommended for anyone outside the suitable population; discontinue once weight has normalized.

Editorial Verdict

This one stands out for what's printed directly on the label — the manufacturer itself states the product isn't a medicine substitute, restricts it to a specific "simple obesity" population, and instructs users to stop once they've reached a normal weight. That's more self-aware labelling than most products in this category, and it lowers some risk simply by discouraging indefinite long-term use.

That said, it still contains Green Tea Extract, the same compound flagged elsewhere in this report for liver enzyme case reports at high doses. At 6 capsules a day, total tea polyphenol intake works out to roughly 0.18g/day based on the label's own ratio — a moderate amount, but combined with L-carnitine (which independently carries its own separate research discussion around cardiovascular metabolite effects at high doses), it's still worth a doctor's input before starting, particularly for anyone with existing liver or heart conditions.

Assessment

Ingredients

• Wheatgrass Juice Powder
• Flaxseed Oil Powder
• Curcumin
• Coconut Oil
• Chia Seeds
• Super Berries
• Piperine
• Monk Fruit
• Green Tea
• Ginger Root
• Xylitol

Editorial Verdict

The mildest formula in this batch — mostly food-based ingredients rather than concentrated stimulant extracts. It does include Curcumin and Green Tea, the same pairing flagged elsewhere, but likely at food-level concentrations rather than extract doses (the label doesn't disclose amounts). Piperine boosts absorption of every active, including the Curcumin, which is worth factoring in.
