Review
Summary |
Curvelle, manufactured by iSatori, is a specially formulated blend of nutrients to help women lose weight by burning excess calories and suppressing hunger and cravings. Curvelle also promises to help create “glowing, radiant beauty” by focusing on the oxidative stress of aging. With a simple formula and a claim to be a healthy weight-loss support supplement for women, the possibility for great things is there, but we’re going to make sure the claims match up with Curvelle’s ingredient list.

 | Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Curvelle’s formula contains only five ingredients: Cinnulin PF (Cinnamon Bark Extract), Green Tea, Razberi K™ (European Red Raspberry), Natural Caffeine and Elderberry Extract.
Cinnulin PF has been included for its ability to control blood sugar and increase glucose metabolism. Cinnulin PF is a standardized extract that eliminates the other chemicals that cause cinnamon to be toxic in high doses, leaving only the healthful active ingredient in the product.
Green Tea is a very common additive that helps our body increase its resting metabolic rate. This means more fat is mobilized and burned for energy, and more weight is lost. The main reason Green Tea works to this end is the caffeine within the ingredient. The caffeine also acts as a mild hunger suppressant and diuretic. The concern, though, is that too much caffeine could cause serious side effects including headache, nausea, insomnia, and a jittery feeling. Green Tea is also a great source of antioxidants, including EGCG. These chemicals help eliminate free radicals in the body, resulting in a detoxifying effect that can help fight aging to some extent.
Natural Caffeine is included in Curvelle to help mobilize fat and give the consumer a little more energy. Curvelle has designed this caffeine to be slowly released instead of being absorbed by the body all at once, resulting in steady and long-lasting energy, not the typical boost and crash of traditional caffeinated drinks. As mentioned above, too much caffeine can cause negative side effects, so if you are sensitive to caffeine, consult a physician before using this product.
Caffeine has been known to cause negative side-effects which include nausea, insomnia, nervousness, elevated heart rate and increased blood pressure
Razberi K™ is a standardization of Raspberry Ketone, an ingredient recently shown to alter the absorption of fat and increase thermogenesis. This ingredient essentially keeps newly consumed fat from being stored (to some extent) and burns more fat through heat, resulting in weight loss.
Elderberry Extract comes from the black elderberry tree, native to Europe, and acts as a diuretic, sweat inducer, and a source of Vitamins A, B and C. The central ingredient to Elderberry Extract, called C3G, helps to eliminate fat from the body when it is consumed, resulting in better overall weight maintenance in lab studies.
Curvelle recommends taking two pills before breakfast and lunch, and also taking two pills before any exercise period (at least 4 pills per day, and probably 6 with daily exercise). The company does not recommend taking more doses than mentioned—the formula is designed for that dosage.
While these ingredients all have some positive effects on the body, we do not see a significant fat burning ingredient or a significant hunger suppressant in this product. This may compromise the results that Curvelle claims to have.

 | Cost |
|
If you order Curvelle direct from iSatori, the cost is $49.99 per bottle (no quantity per bottle is mentioned, but we assume it approximates a one-month supply). While this is quite expensive for a product, Curvelle does come with a 100% money-back guarantee when ordered direct. This 60-day guarantee promises you’ll see results, both inside and out, or you can receive all of your money back. Shipping rates through iSatori are $5.95 on purchases under $50, and free for purchases over $250. The rate gradually increases between these two prices.

 | Website In Focus |
|
Curvelle does not have a website of its own, but iSatori’s official website provides more than enough information for the product. The website is clean, well designed, easy to navigate, and quite eye-catching. It appears professional on all pages, and it provides ample customer service and information on all its guarantees and rates. The Curvelle page provides customer testimonials, background on the ingredients, and a Q & A section to help answer any major questions about the product. The one piece of information that is missing, however, is the pill count per bottle. It is difficult to purchase a product that is so expensive without knowing how long a bottle is supposed to last. Otherwise, iSatori provides an excellent web presence for Curvelle.

 | Final Thoughts |
|
Curvelle claims to be a fast fat burner and craving suppressant, but we are not quite sure how this supplement works to those ends. Curvelle does contain a significant amount of caffeine, which helps raise metabolic rates, but this ingredient is a central nervous system stimulant that can cause serious side effects. The other ingredients seem to hold some health benefits, but overall we’re struggling to see the results through the ingredients. The product does suggest including it in both an exercise program and an established healthy diet to see great results, so the supplement is more of an aid than a pure diet pill. This means less rapid weight loss, but it also means healthier weight loss overall.
Many people looking to lose weight should consider finding a healthy eating plan that they like and can live with long term. You should also exercise each day by doing an activity that is fun and enjoyable. Water is extremely important too, and dieters need a lot of it to stay hydrated and to keep their bodies free of toxins. Finally, try the addition of a supplement specifically designed to help with weight loss. Be sure that the product you choose includes the two key elements all effective diet products need; a fat-burner to rid the body of excess weight on the arms, hips, belly, thighs and buttocks, and an appetite suppressant to help control caloric intake and keep cravings at bay. Many good intentions are ruined by cravings that take us over and sabotage our dieting efforts. If you combine all these elements, along with patience and diligence, you will see the pounds come off.
