Review
Summary |
Cytolean is a fat loss-based weight loss supplement from Gaspari Nutrition. Rich Gaspari is a well-known bodybuilder and this product was the result of reformulating another thermogenic product of his called 3rd Degree Burn. Cytolean was designed to burn fat, reduce the appetite, boost energy levels, and to produce a “feel good,” euphoric effect. It is advertised for being just as strong and successful as ephedra-based products.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
The heavily touted ingredient in Cytolean is Beta-Phenylethylamine, or B-PEA. This is an alkaloid that is found in chocolate, salami, and blue-green algae in trace amounts. It acts on the brain as a neurotransmitter and it produces a “feel good” response while it is in the system. Normally, the body metabolizes B-PEA, but with the addition of five different MAO inhibitors, it stays in the system longer because the enzyme monoamine oxidase is inhibited. This is the enzyme that breaks down B-PEA, shortening its effects. The five ingredients that allow for maximum B-PEA effects are glucuronolactone, DL phenylalanine, evodia rutaecarpa, uncaria rhynchophylla, and sinofranchetia chinensis. Other ingredients that contribute toward increase energy, reduced appetite, and lean muscle growth are caffeine, green tea extract, l-tyrosine, and gingko biloba extract.

| Website In Focus |
|
The product’s main webpage offers interested consumers a detailed look at what Cytolean is supposed to accomplish. There is a lengthy article which describes the process by which Cytolean was created and how the main ingredient of B-PEA affects the body. The other ingredients are described in much less detail, and some are not discussed at all. There are examples of customer results and a very technical scientific article about how Cytolean does the job.

| Positives |
|
There is a genuine attempt to thoroughly explain this product on its website
The website states that good nutrition and exercise are key components to good health and maximum weight loss
The website suggests that this is not a product to be used long term
|
| Negatives |
Until people get used to the effect of Cytolean, it is recommended that they refrain from driving, which is unrealistic for a lot of people
As with most stimulants, caffeine has side effects and dependency potential
There is a long list of people who should not use Cytolean and this includes pregnant or nursing women, people under eighteen, people who have preexisting medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke, heart, liver, or thyroid disease, arrhythmia, diabetes, psychiatric disorders, seizures, or high blood pressure
Their customers do not like them at all and have negative things to say about their experiences. Click here to read a popular Cytolean blog.

| Final Thoughts |
|
While this is another short term weight loss solution, the website is quite up front about that fact. There is a large amount of information available with which people may research Cytolean and there are adequate warnings posted on most of the websites which sell it. There is good reason to believe that one can expect some results based on the evidence, but there are risks associated with using Cytolean and it should not be taken without the express permission of one doctor. If you are seeking a weight loss supplement, be sure and choose a product with ingredients that address both aspects of successful dieting. A proven fat-burner is needed to address excess fat on the arms, belly, hips, thighs and buttocks, and a modern appetite suppressant is needed to control caloric intake and help curb cravings. Effective weight loss happens when both dieting needs are addressed. Add a healthy eating plan, and exercise – and you will have success.
