There really isn't much that we like about ikaria lean belly juice, it tastes good, and the customer reviews to seem to agree with us on that front, as for whether or not it helps you lose weight or belly fat, that's another question. And the answer is a resounding no. It is true that dandelion can make you feel a little unwell on an empty stomach and result in some, shall we say, "unintended cleansing effects" that could have you drop a pound or two, but lean belly juice isn't really going to do much beyond that and our experience, plus that of other customer reviews would suggest that we're bang on the money here.
It's likely that ikaria lean belly juice relies heavily on African mango which as an ingredient did show some promise in animal studies, but has gone on to prove ineffective for aiding humans break down fat cells or really any sort of weight loss what so ever. Or possibly Ikaria hope that by including dandelion extracts, which function as diuretics will convince customers they've lost weight, when really they've lost some water. Either way this isn't doing much good. There's some ingredients that we like in Ikaria lean belly juice, if they were in different products. Such as resveratrol is great for joints and brain health, it just doesn't do anything for weight loss.
That's not to say that no weight loss supplements work, in fact there are quite a few ingredients that do suppress appetite effectively such as glucomannan which swells 50X larger when mixed with liquid in the stomach, but these come in capsules so they can actually reach the stomach. So products marketed as liquid weight loss supplements like ikaria lean belly juice are already up against it. Beyond that the most effective ingredient is usually 5htp for cravings or caffeine for getting you to move more subconsciously and burn more calories, there's a few others that have been shown to work, and whilst again some vitamins and minerals can help none of these are actually contained in Ikaria Lean Belly Juice. Hunter Burn topped our best fat burners list overall with hourglass fit being a female focused alternative, you'd be far better off with either of these as they contain correctly dosed ingredients that actually have some backing to them.
What Does Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Do? The Claims
Customer Reviews Of Ikaria Lean Belly Juice
Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Ingredients
Ok so Lean Belly Juice is a proprietary blend, which makes this part of our lean belly juice review a pain. First up we should explain that it's convention (and a legal requirement in some countries) that you list the largest ingredients in a proprietary blend first and go in descending order. As such we'll look at the ingredients as if that is the case and nail down which ones couldn't possibly be in any effective dose for any health benefits. For example resveratrol is last on the 1000mg metabolic blend which contains 9 ingredients, 100mg is it's effective dose. It appears after bioperine, which is usually dosed at a maximum of 10mg, we can reasonably assume that it probably contains less resveratrol and at best not enough to be effective and if for some reason all the ingredients were evenly split, then turmeric and the dandelion powder would not be in their effective dosages.
Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Review Metabolic Blend
Dandelion - the bulk of the blend, does make you pee more, doesn't help you burn fat.
Turmeric - Anti inflammatory, ok for bloating, doesn't burn fat.
Citrus Pectin - Does nothing relevant.
Green Tea - Actually this ingredient is OK, but it's sort of a B tier ingredient in weight loos supplements. Could be properly dosed based on it's position in the blend. But so far we have a supplement that's slightly less functional than drinking some green tea....
EGCG - Also green tea.
Kelp - Not relevant to weight loss.
Milk Thistle - This one is debunked, still not going strong for lean belly juice powder.
Panax Ginseng - Highly unlikely to be dosed high enough to have the effect for men of raising testosterone which could help them with healthy weight loss. And ginseng can actually do that. But, in higher dosages than we're likely to have here.
Bioperine - This is fine, good inclusion for most supplements, and lean belly juice does get this right. It helps you absorb other nutrients more effectively
Resveratrol - Not likely dosed high enough for health benefits, either way it's not a weight loss aid.
Polyphenol Blend
This is most likely 80% beetroot powder, which would be good, if it wasn't competing against much better beetroot powder supplements.
There's some cranberries, blueberries etc in here, which is probably why lean belly juice reviews always say how good it tastes.
Digestive Blend
Some oat straw and some probiotics round out lean belly juice, this is fine, would help with bloating, doesn't do all too much for weight loss however, despite some promising early studies. The results seem to be correlative, the studies showed that people with healthy microbiomes are more likely to have healthy weights, but, it's hardly a shock that they have better gut health because they eat healthier on average.
