Review
Summary |
Weight loss has become a major focus for many consumers. Millions of dollars are spent yearly as consumers try to find the magic bullet for weight loss. However it is not likely that any will ever be found. Instead there are supplements that may help people lose weight in combination with diet and exercise. It is tempting to try any supplement that appears to have anything to do with burning fat.
GNC Pro Performance® Cut & Burn Physique Program™ is a three formula system designed and manufactured by General Nutritional Centers. The program includes three formulas Includes Thermozyme™, Thermo Cardio System™ and CLA to increase thermogenesis, burn more calories, get lean, have more energy, improve muscle strength and tone, and improve overall fitness. We will take a look at the ingredients to see if these formulas have merit.

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Thermozyme™ contains CutZyme™ Enzyme Blend (Amylase and Transglucosidase), Green Tea Leaves Extract, and Caffeine.
Green Tea Extract has been used in is an antioxidant and helps the body metabolize fat. It may help the body maintain insulin levels. Guarana Extract comes from a berry that is found in the Amazon Rainforest. It has been used for years in Brazil and can be found in a variety of products. It may increase metabolism and act as mild appetite suppressant. Both of these ingredients contain caffeine which has been known to cause negative side-effects which include nausea, insomnia, nervousness, elevated heart rate and increased blood pressure.
Thermo Cardio System™ contains Guarana Seed, Black Tea Leaves, Grape Skin Extract, Ginger Root, Grape Seed, and Dill Weed Extract. Again, the products contain a lot of caffeine with the subsequent negative side-effects.
GNC CLA contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA). CLA is derived from Safflower oil and each capsule contains 1000 mg of pure Safflower oil. Another source of CLA is Sunflower oil, which is less expensive but does not have the same concentration as Safflower oil.

| Website In Focus |
|
The GNC website is designed to allow consumers an alternative to shopping in their box stores. They have a wide variety of products available online and provide free shipping for orders over $50.00. When we visited the website we were easily able to find background information about GNC, their research and testing processes, and their manufacturing practices. We also found contact information for customer service. We were pleased to see that GNC offers a 30-day money back guarantee for all of their products. We were disappointed, however, that they do not provide better product information on the website. The product descriptions are very vague and there is little information about any of the ingredients used in the formulas.

| Final Thoughts |
|
There are so many supplements on the market that it can be difficult to know which ones are effective and which ones are a waste of money and time. Products like GNC Pro Performance® Cut & Burn Physique Program™ may provide some weight loss benefit, but if you are looking for a weight loss supplement it may be a good idea to look into a supplement that contains a well-known thermogenic and appetite suppressant – and you might look for a supplement containing ingredients more advanced and modern than the caffeine in these formulas.
