Irvingia Gabonensis.... the truth.

When I read this amazing study about Irvingia Gabonensis.... I had to do soome follow up research. I didn't have to look much further than our own Outstanding Nutritionist MariEtta Parrish RD, LDN, CSSD She explained that is does IN FACT WORK!! It is basically a good dose of soluble fiber, which may help people lose weight and indeed has been proven to lower cholesterol.

However, it is not recommended that you take it more than a month as long term studies have not been done and cannot show how it might affect long term nutrient retention. This is a concern because this supplement basically acts like a laxative, which is why it is effective.

Besides nutrient deficiencies from long term use, it also may cause laxative dependence and poor fluid absorption and absorption by your bowels. However, if one wanted to supplement this or a laxative for a month, if they can handle the effects, they would lose more weight. It may be worth some individuals who are really interested to try it and see how they tolerate it short term to boost their weight loss efforts. The article does skew the actual results some what. Placebo lost ~1.5 lbs. after a month, compared to supplement folks that lost ~4.5 lbs. after a month.

The supplement did have positive blood lipid effects, but did not lower body fat. Therefore, this study suggests that weight lost was mostly muscle and water.
