Curvelle

Curvelle’s formula consists of herbal extracts, many of which are often used in other weight loss supplements on the market. These include Green Tea extract for its antioxidant properties, cinnamon to control sugar cravings, Raspberry Ketone to inhibit fat absorption, Elderberry extract to help improve skin and hair, and caffeine to help boost energy.

We will take a closer look at the formula’s main active ingredients.

Green Tea is commonly used in dietary supplements for its antioxidant properties; it is also thought to promote thermogenesis, helping to burn fat calories. Green Tea is a source of caffeine, which could help enhance energy levels but could also increase anxiety, restlessness or even lead to insomnia.

Cinnamon is thought to have positive effects on blood sugar, fats and cholesterol, and is thought to promote glucose metabolism.

Elderberry has supposedly been used for centuries in traditional medicine for a variety of purposes. Some of its benefits include a reduction in body fat after use, based on studies done on young male mice, and possibly an improvement in carbohydrate metabolism.

For women looking for a supplement to lose weight, the advertising for Curvelle may make it sound appealing. Using a blend of natural ingredients to promote weight loss, increased energy and healthier skin, the company knows how to market towards women. However, there is nothing in the formula to suggest that it has a different effect on women that it does on men.

Women interested in taking this supplement must be aware of the fact that it contains caffeine; while this may be beneficial prior to working out, if taken too late in the day, it could cause sleeplessness for some. Women may be interested in using an energy enhancer like Advantra-Z, the patented bitter orange extract that is often used as an alternative to ephedrine, combined with an appetite suppressant to help keep caloric intake to a minimum.

As discussed, we appreciate the inclusion of natural ingredients in the formula, but are not sure how it can have a significant impact on women specifically. The inclusion of antioxidants, metabolism boosters and caffeine does not make for a “women only” formula, so we feel that this is more of a marketing tactic than a scientifically based formula. Even so, it is hard to say whether or not use of Curvelle will have a profound impact on weight loss, as there is little research to suggest this.

In our experience, combining an energy enhancer with an appetite suppressant like Hoodia is a more reliable way to burn fat. The herbal appetite suppressant Hoodia is particularly effective when combined with the patented bitter orange extract Advantra-Z for enhancing energy; these two ingredients are available in many top quality products currently available, and have no known side effects associated with them. For guaranteed results, we recommend this combination for weight loss.
