Anti Aging Reviews
Primal
Lean is an all-natural weight-loss formula created by
Dr. Al Sears that is based on an herb that grows in the forests of
West Africa. The newly discovered herb, according to Sears,
is writing the book on how to lose weight fast.
The herb, irvingia gabonensis, "resets your
body to the point where you naturally and easily resist the
production of new fat cells," Sears says.
"This breakthrough is making medical history.
When the rest of the world catches up, this little-known herb will take its place as the most effective
weight loss supplement ever discovered.
"Plus, it's safe and effective, a natural remedy
that ramps up your body's ability to burn fat."

Discussion:
Customer feedback online about Primal
Lean is overwhelmingly favorable. There are
virtually no complaints or negative
comments by users to be found.
On the other hand, accounts of how
Primal
Lean has helped people lose weight can be found in a number of places. (As a user of Primal
Lean I should add my personal
recommendation here. -- Dave
Tishendorf)
Primal Lean's resume
includes something that many, if not most, other diet programs lack:
the backing of a randomized double-blind,
placebo-controlled scientific study of its key ingredient.
The investigation by the University of Yaounde
I in Yaounde, Cameroon, and the University of Ngaoundere in Ngaoundere, Cameroon, found that irvingia
gabonensis "significantly reduces body weight" in overweight persons.
If you're interested you can read the abstract
of the study below. Laymen will find the abstract rather dry reading, but the information presented does
provide scientific support for Primal
Lean's claims. You can find
more information about the study by clicking here.
Based primarily on the scientific study as well
as my personal experience with the product, we have
given
Primal Lean
a buy-rating of five
stars, our highest rating.

What Others Are
Saying
I started taking it right before the holidays,
so I was probably eating more than I normally do, but I noticed an
effect within a few weeks. My hips and waist started to feel
tighter. My love handles were the big deal for me. It was the only
place I really felt self-conscious. I have this favorite pair of
white, Capri-style jeans and I could not get them on. They were so
tight I just left them in the closet. After a while I broke down and
bought a few other pairs of jeans that were a few inches bigger in
the waist. These were my new "fat clothes." But honestly I
didn't do anything. I didn't change the way I eat and I didn't
really exercise. After the ten-week period I asked Dr. Sears if I
could keep going. I didn't want to give up this new fat loss
secret - who would?! - Primal Lean user

I started it a couple of months ago -- I don't
get jittery at all and I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine. It does
seem to make you less hungry. I don't know how many pounds I've
lost, but I did drop a size last week so I'm going to keep taking
it! -Primal

Yes, I have tried and tested Primal Lean for 3
month now - here are my personal experiences:
1. It really stops hunger and cravings thus it
is much easier stick with a healthy (low GI or other natural) diet.
For best results you should start exercise
as well (10-20 minutes daily).
2. No jittery and heart race (if you have such
symptoms, you should consult your physician!) but you have to find
your personal optimal dosage (I've started
with 1 per day only and ended up with 4).
3. For me the biggest surprise (not to mention
14 pounds minus) was the excellent normalizing effect on blood sugar
level and the regulating function regarding
stool frequency and consistency.
You may want to try it as a weight loss aid. It
is a natural tool. It is not instead of a new lifestyle but it helps
you reach your goals without pain.

Study Abstract
Background
A recent in vitro study indicates that IGOB131,
a novel seed extract of the traditional West African food plant Irvingia gabonensis, favorably
impacts adipogenesis through a variety of critical metabolic
pathways including PPAR gamma, leptin,
adiponectin, and glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase. This study was
therefore aimed at evaluating the effects
of IGOB131, an extract of Irvingia gabonensis, on body weight
and associated metabolic parameters in
overweight human volunteers.
Methods
The study participants comprised of 102
healthy, overweight and/or obese volunteers (defined as BMI > 25 kg/m2)
randomly divided into two groups. The groups received on a daily
basis, either 150 mg of IGOB131 or matching
placebo in a double blinded fashion, 30?60 minutes before lunch and
dinner. At baseline, 4, 8 and 10 weeks of
the study, subjects were evaluated for changes in anthropometrics
and metabolic parameters to include fasting
lipids, blood glucose, C-reactive protein, adiponectin, and
leptin.
Results
Significant improvements in body weight, body
fat, and waist circumference as well as plasma total cholesterol,
LDL cholesterol, blood glucose, C-reactive
protein, adiponectin and leptin levels were observed in the IGOB131
group compared with the placebo group.
Conclusion
Irvingia gabonensis administered 150 mg twice daily before meals to
overweight and/or obese human volunteers favorably impacts body weight and a variety of
parameters characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. This is the first double blind randomized placebo
controlled clinical trial regarding the anti-obesity and lipid
profile modulating effects of an Irvingia gabonensis extract. The
positive clinical results, together with our previously published mechanisms of gene
expression modulation related to key metabolic pathways in lipid metabolism, provide impetus for much larger
clinical studies. Irvingia gabonensis extract may
prove to be a useful tool in dealing with
the emerging global epidemics of obesity, hyperlipidemia, insulin
resistance, and their co-morbid
conditions.
