We were impressed with the ingredients GNC used to create this natural, “thermogenic” weight loss supplement, which increases metabolism in the body, increases energy and suppresses appetite. Individual tests on this product showed that subjects ate 10% fewer calories on this product, but did not mention fat burning amounts. This usually means that very little actual fat loss was reported. While this supplement tested well overall, it contains a number of unnecessary fillers, binders and coloring agents which may dilute some of the benefits of the individual ingredients.
Is GNC Total Lean Effective?
GNC Total Lean™ Appetrex Control ™ contains strong ingredients for limiting appetite and increasing metabolism, such as Green Coffee Bean Extract, Green Tea and Yerba Mate. Total Lean also contains essential B vitamins which help boost energy.
One school of thought with diet supplements is that adding too much of any single ingredient to your diet might have negative effects on your body in the long run. Therefore, some manufacturers create their own combination products, where they throw in a little bit of each of the top rated products on the market. But these ingredients are only clinically proven to be effective when used alone, so we lean towards recommending them alone.
The idea of combo products is that each ingredient will help a little bit towards burning fat, without changing the body’s natural balance too much. However, none of these ‘proprietary blends’ are clinically tested on their own, so there’s no proof that they even work at all. This makes it a bit risky to spend upwards of $40 on a bottle of diet pills that may or may not be effective, when you could buy clinically proven diet pills for the same amount of money. Customer reviews on this product were mixed, with many saying that the product was a great energy booster but had no fat loss effects.
How Do You Take GNC Total Lean?
The serving size is two capsules once a day, before lunch or dinner. A one-month supply costs around $40. The company does not offer a multi-bottle discount on this product, so you don’t pay less per bottle if you place a multi-bottle order.
Is GNC Total Lean Safe?
Sensitive consumers may experience minor side effects on this product, including dizziness, insomnia and jitters.
Summary
Out of the diet ingredient combinations we tested, this one looks the most promising. We were impressed by the research that went into formulating this product. Total Lean is a more gentle diet pill for those concerned with long term effects. Individual tests on this product showed positive results for appetite suppression. That said, it is unclear how many pounds can realistically be lost with this product.
