Avatrim

Avatrim is a diet pill claiming to contain a “revolutionary blend” of ingredients as well as being “clinically proven” to get you thinner.  Strangely enough, Avatrim.com now reroutes to a product called Hoodia Gordonii Plus, but Avatrim can still be purchased online in some places, usually for about $30 per bottle. What basis does this product really have to make those claims or to charge even a relatively low $30?

Avatrim Ingredients

The main ingredients here are as follows

  • Green Tea
  • Biotin
  • L-Carnitine
  • Alpha and R-lipoic acids
  • Black pepper
  • Bioperine

This formula is far from revolutionary but offers a few good ingredients nonetheless.  Green tea is always good, though it is unclear how much epigallocatechin gallate or other catechins (the elements in green tea effective in weight loss) are actually included.

L-Carnitine is also a good ingredient, but it is often shown in studies that less than a 2 gram dosage will be ineffective.  The lipoic acids are powerful antioxidants and have insulin/blood sugar regulating properties.  Black pepper may mildly increase your metabolism and the bioperine pepper extract may increase the amount of these ingredients that gets absorbed and used by your body.

Avatrim Pros

  • Generally good ingredients

Avatrim Cons

  • Concentrations are unclear
  • No real clinical evidence is shown

Avatrim Conclusion

As this product has gone into relative obscurity and offers no money-back guarantee, it is a high risk product.  As well, I wouldn’t count on this formula to do much for you in the way of weight-loss.  It is definitely a decent supplement for your health in general, but it’s far from revolutionary and has no business charging $30.  I do not recommend Avatrim.
