Herbalean Review

To start, Herbalean brags that it is “so effective, so amazing….it was actually banned by the FDA for being too powerful.” To produce these “so effective, so amazing” results, herbalean uses 10mg of ma huang, 200 mcg of chromium, and a 408.5mg proprietary blend of natural caffeine extract, lotus root extract, hoodia gordonii, garcinia cambogia, white willow bark, synephrine, konjac root, uva usi leaf, ginger root, eleutrerococcus senticosus root, bee pollen, green tea leaf extract, pyruvate, piper longum fruit, and 77 trace minerals. It claims to increase mental alertness, speed up metabolism, aid weight loss, enhance athletic performance, and increase mental sharpness.

Herbalean makes quite a few nice promises and uses some popular ingredients used as fat burners such as chromium, hoodia gordonii, garcinia cambogia, green tea leaf extract, and synephrine.

Ingredients and Mechanism of Action

To start out, while I find it mildly entertaining that a company would brag about being banned by the FDA, I also find it rather disturbing. While I don’t agree with all of the things the FDA does, they don’t ban things just for fun or because they don’t want powerful products on the market. They ban things because they are dangerous, because, in most cases, multiple people have suffered negative side effects as extreme as death when using that product. So why did they ban herbalean, what was so dangerous about herbalean? Because they use ephedra. Ma huang is another name for ephedra, which was banned by the FDA as a whole in 2002, and I don’t think anybody in Europe or the American continent missed it. They say it is legal because they use only 10mg, but it shouldn’t be in any amount.

Other than that, they use a 408.5mg proprietary blend, which is minimal in the first place. Then they pack 91 different ingredients into that mix, 77 which they simply refer to as “trace minerals.” There is no way they could possibly have enough of any of the ingredients to have an impact with those odds, and with a proprietary blend, it means they are also likely using quite a few fillers, further degrading any potential results. And the last part of this whole beautiful mix, when you go to the herbalean website to purchase herbalean, it is NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Overall Impressions of HerbaLean

Herbalean is a disturbing element. They brag about being banned by the FDA, they brag about using an ingredient, ephedra, which has contributed to the deaths of many individuals, and they brag about a product which otherwise doesn’t even have enough of any one ingredient to make a difference. They make it a point to brag about a product they don’t even make anymore. You get redirected to the site of a product called beelean Xtreme, which is basically the same formula with more ephedra in it. I wouldn’t buy anything from this company as a whole.
