According to the marketing material, GarciniGENIX is a “complete fat burning masterpiece like no other”.
It’s manufactured in America by Z-Burn and the company claim to have created the product to “break all boundaries”.
GarciniGENIX is a diet capsule designed to support weight loss in multiple ways and, in theory, the combined benefits should create a condition where the body is burning more calories than it can obtain from food and begins to burn body fat to gain extra energy.
The formulation should also ensure users do not become lethargic or overly miserable while cutting down on their food.
GarciniGENIX contains a lot of ingredients, some of which are included in unknown quantities, so it’s a hard product to evaluate, but niacin is a B vitamin that helps the body to metabolize food into energy. It is also good for lowering cholesterol levels. Chromium is usually added to diet pills because it appears to suppress the urge for sweet food. This is achieved because chromium can help regulate insulin levels and prevent the sudden glucose spikes that may lead to sugar cravings.
All of the ingredients included in the Thermo-Synergenic Weight Loss Complex are well-respected fat burners. Garcinia cambogia also has the ability to prevent the body from converting excess carbohydrates into body fat. The quantities involved are adequate across the board, but the caffeine content is equivalent to that provided by two to three cups of coffee. That should be good for providing extra energy, but may be too much for some people to handle.
The value of the Thermo-Metabolic Heat Matrix is harder to speculate upon because no inclusion rates are supplied. Ginseng stands out as being a healthy inclusion because it is an adaptogen herb that can boost the health in many different ways. Grape seed extract is also healthy because it provides the polyphenol resveratrol, which is high in antioxidants. The compound has also been linked to weight loss, but further study is required. However, many of the other ingredients are stimulants. They may have the ability to boost the metabolism and enhance fat burning abilities, but their presence will also make GarciniGENIX even less suitable for anyone who does not tolerate stimulants well.
New users are advised to assess their tolerance by starting with only one capsule per day, taken with water, before a meal or workout. If no tolerance issues arise it is permissible to take two (one capsule) doses per day. “Advanced users” can increase the first dose of the day to two capsules, but it is important never to exceed three capsules in any 24-hour period.
Z-Burn state the product is not intended for people who are under 18-years-old or for women who are pregnant of nursing a child. People who have existing medical issues are warned to consult a doctor before using GarciniGENIX. The same advice is offered to anyone who is using prescription or over-the-counter medication. Z-Burn also point out the formulation is unsuitable for anyone who is sensitive to caffeine. Users who experience “unusual symptoms” should stop supplementation at once and seek medical advice.
A bottle of GarciniGENIX contains 60 capsules (30-day supply) and the RRP is £49.99 / $59.99 but, at the time of this review, the price on the Z-Burn website had been reduced by $10. It is also possible to purchase the product from Amazon.com and, at around $28 per bottle, the price is much cheaper.
The manufacturer’s website has a link at the bottom of each page that reads “money back guarantee”, but when we clicked the link we were directed to a page that showed a picture of a handful of money, repeated the words “money back guarantee” twice, and offered the option to sign up for a newsletter. There was nothing else on the page—no information at all. We checked the terms and conditions page and no guarantee is mentioned.
People who use GarciniGENIX alongside a calorie-restricted diet and exercise are likely to loose more weight than they would by diet and exercise alone. We do not doubt this, but the formulation contains a lot of stimulants and this presents an increased likelihood of side effects. This is why Z-Burn suggest new users commence supplementation with caution. It’s good advice. We do not consider GarciniGENIX to be the best option for the average person who needs to lose weight, but it could be a good product for bodybuilders and other sporty types who’ve already developed a high tolerance to stimulants through a prolonged use of sports supplements.
