Dermaslim Review

Over the past few years Hoodia Gordonii, Acai Berry and to a lesser extent Chitosan have been hyped as breakthrough elements in weight loss supplements. But are they?  Apparently Dermaslim, a United Kingdom company,  thinks so.  Their three main diet pills are Hoodia Pure 800, Acai Pure 500 and Dermaslim Fat Blocker which features Chitosan.

Hoodia, acai berry and chitosan have been used by millions and praised by many but all are controversial at best.

Hoodia is a cactus-like succulent that has been used for centuries by African tribes who found chewing it suppressed appetite and enabled them to get though famines more comfortably.  Hoodia has been billed as a “revolutionary weight loss miracle”  but there are no valid trials using humans that show hoodia in pill form effective at producing weight loss.

More encouraging is the news on acai berry.  Acai berry, freshly picked and eaten, might be the perfect fruit. It has more antioxidants than any other fruit. dietary fiber, omega fatty acids and some protein. It is a combination that logically should make you feel better and have more energy.  And once you have more energy you should logically be able to move around more, burn more fat and lose weight.  Unfortunately the acai berry is not available as a fresh fruit.  It is from South America and looses its nutritional value in 24 hours.  Thus, it has to be quick frozen and later transformed into the pills and powders. These have become the hyped products that have been selling acai berry as a weight loss breakthrough.  However, there is not enough data to support the contention that consuming acai berries will help you lose weight.

Chitosan, extracted  from the shells of shellfish, has been around for decades as a product to ease the symptoms of constipation and bowl irregularity. Dermaslim Fat Blocker is supposed to be helpful in keeping fat from accumulating in your body.  However, as in the case of both hoodia and acai, there is no evidence that chitosan is effective as a weight loss aid.

In summary, Hoodia 800 claims to help you lose weight by suppressing your appetite, Acai Pure 500 supposedly aids in burning fat and flushing away excess pounds and Dermaslim Fat Blocker claims to remove the fat content in food before you digest it.  However, there is no conclusive evidence that any of the three products actually live up to their billing.

Dermaslim Ingredient Quality

Since your goal is weight loss and none of the key elements in Dermaslim products — hoodia, acai berry and chitosan — are clinically proven to aid in weight loss then the quality of Dermaslim’s ingredients becomes irrelevant.

Is Dermaslim Safe:

Dermaslim products seem safe enough for healthy people.   But, you should never start taking any supplement without first consulting with your medical advisors.  This is particularly important if you have any on-going medical conditions or are taking medications.

Dermaslim Price and Guarantee

Dermaslim has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.  Acai Pure 500 sells for approximately $32 for a month’s supply and both Hoodia Pure 800 and Dermaslim Fat Blocker sell for $40.

Consumer Reviews

Marcus Browne of Cardiff writes, “…In the three months I’ve been taking the hoodia (Hoodia Pure 800)I have lost 30 pounds.”  No reviews from men were found on either Acai Pure 500 or Dermaslim Fat Blocker.

Should you try Dermaslim products?

With a 30-day guarantee from Dermaslim one of the products might be worth a try. However, there are several top-rated weight loss products on the market that are clinically proven to help you lose weight.  It would be better to spend your supplement dollars on a top-rated weight loss product.
