Cyclotrim weight loss water’s name is a bit misleading. The product they sell is not water - it is a pill, much like Alka-Seltzer, that dissolves in water. The pill is filled with many of the currently popular vitamins, minerals and ingredients that have been purported to enhance weight loss. Regardless of the claims of this and other products, most of these ingredients have not been proven by the scientific community to help in weight loss.
The first ingredient heavily touted on the Cyclotrim website is the green tea leaf extract (EGCG). Cyclotrim claims that clinical studies have found that EGCG can help your body burn stored fat faster. Green tea leaf extract has lately become the miracle ingredient in a vast majority of fat burning, energy increasing supplements. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition did complete a study on the effects of EGCG on fat burning which appeared in its March 2008 edition. Their article states that large amounts of green tea extract (about 5 mg) were shown to increase the fat oxidation (or burning) by 17% in young males as they exercised for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise. Unfortunately, we do not know how much EGCG is in Cyclotrim Weight Loss Water, and the website makes no mention of the need to exercise in order to benefit from the fat burning enhancement of EGCG.
The next claim made by the Cyclotrim website is that the guarana and Vitamin B Complex in the tablets will increase energy and mental alertness. The first thing that should be pointed out is that green tea and guarana both contain caffeine. This is probably the main factor behind any increased energy experience while taking Cyclotrim Weight Loss Water. Cyclotrim touts the benefits of all-natural guarana as a stimulant, but they could say the same if contained all-natural coffee beans. “All-Natural” does not mean caffeine free. Vitamin B Complex consists of a group of B vitamins including riboflavin, niacin and folic acid. B Complex has been shown to improve the condition of metabolic pathways that are stressed during exercise, so these vitamins can be helpful in aiding activity endurance.
One of the things that Cyclotrim Weight Loss Water gets right is that it encourages dieters to drink water. Increased water consumption is one of the best ways to assist in weight loss. It flushes out the system, reduces appetite and cravings and can reduce bloating. For dieters who don’t like the taste of water, Cyclotrim adds a fizzy, lemon tinged flavor that may make drinking water easier.
Cyclotrim contains electrolytes, which are important to replenish in those who may be increasing their physical activity as a result of a weight loss program. It also contains 200 mg of caffeine, which can contribute to dehydration, so it is important that people who drink Cyclotrim Weight Loss Water do not drink it excessively and also drink un-caffienated water.
Other than the excessive amount of caffeine it contains, Cyclotrim Weight Loss Water is a relatively harmless weight loss supplement. It would be smart to consider it more of a nutritional supplement than a weight loss aid. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved the product and there have been no published clinical trials to support its claims
