NorthStar Weight Wellness

NorthStar’s Weight Wellness is formulated with Iodine, Rhodiola Rosea, Rhododendron Extract and Blueberry Fruit Extract.

Iodine is the 53rd element on the Periodic Table of Elements and is part of the Halogen group—a group that easily bonds to the Alkaline group on the other end of the table. Iodine is commonly found in seaweed and other sea life and is most often incorporated into people’s diets through fish and other seafood, but it is now being incorporated into table salt in order to provide the nutrient on a regular basis. Iodine deficiency produces hypothyroidism, a condition that can result in extreme fatigue, goiter, mental slowing, depression, weight gain and low basal body temperatures. By reintroducing Iodine into the diet, the weight gain can be reversed, as well as the other symptoms. This is probably where Iodine receives its weight loss claims, but there is no indication that this element functions as a weight loss ingredient when hypothyroidism is not the issue at hand.

Rhodiola Rosea is a Siberian herb that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. Rhodiola helps in physical, mental and sexual performance. It is also known to mobilize fat stores and enhance thermogenic processes in the body, resulting in some degree of weight loss.

Rhododendron Extract is known for improving physical abilities, increasing the blood supply to both muscles and the brain and for improving the cardiovascular system. It is also known to inhibit the enzyme hyaluronidase, which is “known to be an initiator of colon cancer.”

Blueberry supports water weight management by replenishing Potassium in the body.

While each of these ingredients have some positive effects on overall health, there is no powerful fat burner or metabolism booster, and it does not appear that any of these ingredients have a significant effect on mood. The product is safe, but it isn’t effective. We would prefer seeing a more powerful metabolism booster such as Citrus Aurantium, and a hunger suppressant like Hoodia Gordonii would greatly improve the formula’s effectiveness.

NorthStar’s Weight Wellness can be purchased directly from their official website. One bottle retails for $29.95 plus shipping and handling. If consumers are looking to save money, they can purchase the supplement in bulk. Three bottles are sold for $79.85, offering consumers a savings of $23.90, and six bottles are sold for $159.70, offering consumers a savings of $61.70. Shipping and handling is an additional $9.95 per order. NorthStar does offer a 60-day money-back guarantee on all of their products, allowing customers to decide if they are getting the results they want from the product.

The price and the guarantee are good signs that this company is not going to overcharge the consumer or stick them with a bad product. This is a pleasing sight in a competitive market where far too often people are left to guess at what the product might cost them if they are not pleased.

The official website for North Star’s Weight Wellness is professional and up to date. The site provides information on the supplement’s abilities, its ingredients, ordering information, a guarantee policy and customer testimonials. We were disappointed to see that none of the testimonials included before-and-after pictures; however, as a whole, the website is done well and does a great job of promoting the product.

NorthStar’s Weight Wellness contains a number of ingredients that may promote general health and some weight loss, but they are simply not the most effective weight loss ingredients on the market. Furthermore, the supplement’s formula has not been scientifically proven to promote significant weight loss. While consumers are likely to benefit from this supplement, we highly doubt it will provide the weight loss results they are looking for. We suggest consumers look for a weight loss supplement containing proven and reputable fat burners, metabolism boosters and appetite suppressants.
