Comparing Different Gastric Balloons

Many types of gastric balloons exist, from swallowable to adjustable, although the standard Orbera balloon remains the most commonly used.

Puravive is a shameless rebrand of Expiure, a completely useless supplement built entirely on false science and empty promises.

New obesity drugs target more than just GLP-1 and do much more than suppress appetite for a more nuanced approach to weight loss.

Hourglass Fit isn’t much more than a fancy glucomannan soluble fiber supplement. These supplements don’t work without a proper diet plan.

Atrafen Elite is a caffeine supplement that contains poorly studied compounds that are neither effective nor safe for weight or fat loss.

Cayenne does not burn fat in humans. In reality, Fire Bullets doesn’t seem to offer much more benefit than a standard caffeine supplement.

Hyleys Slim Tea is a basic combination of green and senna tea. A regular organic green tea would likely be better for slimming.

White or Asian younger women who use metformin and have lower sugar and lipid levels tend to experience more weight loss with Mounjaro.

Lemme Burn claims that AMPK activation will help fat loss. But research says this is not true if you don’t suffer from diabetes or PCOS.

Rice often contains trace amounts of arsenic. White rice, and basmati rice from California, India, and Pakistan, tend to have lower amounts.

OLLY Combat Cravings is nothing more than a very high dose chromium supplement, which is not safe or effective for cravings.

Black pepper extracts are often added to boost the absorption of certain supplements such as turmeric, resveratrol, and lycopene.
