Menopause Weight Loss Supplements

Zalestrim Weight Loss

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about Zalestrim on DietBlogTalk.com

For an additional source, check out Zalestrim on the very popular Sensational.com

Overview

Zalestrim’s three-in-one formula is said to have been developed for women in menopause.  The manufacturer seems to think what women really want is a stronger sex drive and larger boobs, with a little weight loss thrown in for extra measure.  The advertising for the product relies on superfluous descriptions about the effects of taking the supplement without verifying any of their claims with cited scientific research.  We are told to expect a “cup” increase of two bra sizes and intense orgasms. 

Ingredients at a Glance

Green tea extract, Ginger extract, Black Cohosh, Cinnamon extract, Dong Quai,
Damiana leaf, Metabromine Chocolate extract, Soy Isoflavones, Magnolia Bark, Passionflower, Wild Yam Root, and Barberry

Ingredients in Focus

Green tea extract is often used in some weight loss formulas because it is inexpensive and it may cause a decrease in appetite but the caffeine present in green tea may have negative side effects for many individuals. Dong Quai is a Chinese herb that is claimed in Zalestrim’s advertising to restore a woman’s sex drive. There is no verifiable science to support the claim.  No ingredient in the formula is claimed in any way to enlarge the breasts.

Positives

•    Black Cohosh has been shown to alleviate some of the negative Side Effects Of Menopause.

Negatives

•    No product guarantee

•    Unproven product claims

•    The formula does not contain a proven appetite suppressant
•    The weight loss claims for Zalestrim are not supported with strong ingredients

Final Thoughts

Products like Zalestrim often rely on verbose advertising in an attempt to attract customers but the claims for this product truly take the cake and we find it offensive to think that a woman’s aging is reduced to wishing and hoping for larger breasts.  Staying healthy and fit as we age should never be just about our appearance.  Maintaining a healthy weight and an active lifestyle is vital for controlling menopausal symptoms and there is plenty of reliable help available.  Supplementing with herbal formulas that support the metabolism and help to control the appetite can be quite helpful but we recommend you look for products that are backed up by real science and clinical research.
