Yet another weight loss supplement is available on the market, claiming to help suppress your appetite as well as burn fat. 
This one is called Propolene, but in a market that is already overrun with pills, powders and other potions claiming to help you lose weight, you might wonder whether this one really works.
When you stop at their website, you notice that the manufacturer states that “results will vary depending on differing individuals”.
You might think that this appears to be a very noble approach to offering a weight loss supplement, but you should also know that Propolene once claimed itself to be a guaranteed way for you to lose weight, without needing to adjust your diet or follow any exercise program at all. When consumers tried using the supplement, they soon discovered that this wasn’t the case at all.
Product feature of Propolene
They offer a special promotional price of $29.95 for a bottle of the supplement, but you need to be aware that if you do take them up on this offer, your credit card will be charged $59.95 if you haven’t sent the bottle back within 30 days if you aren’t happy with the results.
We were told that it is necessary to take 3 capsules before every high fat meal. But make sure you read the instructions carefully when taking any weight loss supplement to make sure that there are no contraindications noted.
Propolene contains Glucomannan, which is a fiber that gives users a feeling of being full that is found in many weight loss products on the market. But the manufacturers of Glucomannan don’t offer any information as to why Propolene would be more effective than any other weight loss supplements containing Glucomannan on the market.
Propolene side effects
There haven’t been any major side effects noted with using Propolene, but it can prevent your body from absorbing many essential vitamins and nutrients. So, if you are taking this supplement, it is important to also be taking a multivitamin. And remember, that just because there isn’t a list of side effects listed, that doesn’t mean it will be the same for everyone.
One of the biggest problems that has been noted by users of Propolene is that it just doesn’t work as effectively as the manufacturers have been claiming in the past.
Propolene manufacturers found guilty!
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have charged the Obesity Research Institute LLC, (the manufacturers of Propolene), with making false advertising claims on television, radio and on the internet. (http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/06/fiberthin.shtm)
The manufacturers of Propolene were making claims that the supplement could make anyone lose weight regardless of what the person ate, and that they wouldn’t need to exercise at all. And, after all this, Propolene would still help you to shed up to 2 pounds in a week.
The manufacturers were made to pay $1.5 million in consumer redress after they were found guilty. Now, the FTC carefully monitors everything, including paperwork, marketing and financial documents in order to make sure that the company follows all new regulations that are required of them.
Do we recommend Propolene?
While the product that is offered today is less fraudulent than it has been in the past, it still doesn’t quite live up to its claims. While the supplement might help to assist with some other weight loss programs, there are much better alternatives available on the market that are more reliable, and which will work as they claim.
