The Diet List’s Review of Sun Chlorella
- Sun Chlorella
 |
Review Summary |
|
Sun Chlorella is part of a new generation of weight loss products which are technically not advertised as being able to create weight loss per se, but on websites, advertise that weight loss is one of the “side affects” or “added benefits” of this supplement. These kinds of claims can increase their appeal to consumers, as well as increase their potential market share. This website says that this product can help users achieve a “higher level of energy” and that “they lose their desire for unnecessary snacks”. It is also suggested to be able to “regulate cholesterol levels, repair DNA and help prevent tumors”. If these abilities are true this product would be better that magic, but we have seen these kinds of claims made over and over again on a market that is extremely competitive. We will take a long hard look at this formula to see what it can really bring to the weight loss market. |

Ingredients in Focus |
|
As the name suggests Sun Chlorella’s main ingredient is Chlorella, which we are sure many consumers have not come into contact with because it is a relatively little known and little used ingredient. Chlorella is actually more commonly known as Green Algae, which contains chlorophyll and chloroplast. The really interesting feature of Chlorella is that it has a very high vitamin and mineral content, as well as being a good source of protein; which has inspired a great deal of research on this element as a food and energy source. However, this potential use for this element has hit some bumps because it is a single celled organism, which makes it hard to be mass produced; although the Chinese have used it as a food source during famine by growing it in large lake like vats. |

Diet Lifestyle |

Many manufacturers market Chlorella, as a super food that can be used to treat a variety of issues, which is clearly the case with Sun Chlorella, however, there is scant research available that supports the belief that it is a cure all for disease, or that it can help create weight loss through the repression of the appetite. We have little doubt that consumers who see this claim and choose to incorporate it into their weight loss regime, will be sorely disappointed. |

Final Thoughts |
|
Sun Chlorella contains a substantial amount of Chlorella, which may increase users overall health because it contains many vitamins and minerals, as well as having a big protein content. However, it has little proven ability to help users create weight loss in any way, which may disappoint consumers who find the idea of using a super food to create weight loss appealing. Fortunately for those consumers whose primary concern is to create weight loss there are other more effective herbal extracts available that can actually boost weight loss. Savvy consumers often seek out formulas that use Hoodia in their formula, because it has a rather unique ability to trick the brain into believing the stomach is full, even when it’s empty. Advantra-Z is also used with Hoodia in most results oriented formulas because it is an exceptional metabolism boosting and fat burning agent. When Hoodia and Advantra-Z are used together they have been proven to be able to decrease caloric input and increase caloric output, a necessary combination for optimal weight loss. |
