Are the ingredients in the Leanology products supported by research?

Leanology has been studied three different ways: as a weight loss pilot trial, as an “open label” trial and as a 120-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled study at an accredited university. The research in all three cases has proven the Leanology products to be effective tools in losing weight and keeping it off.

The university-controlled study: A total of 128 overweight or obese adults were included in a four-month study. Adults who used the Leanology Weight Loss Capsules lost 76% more body weight and 132% more body fat than participants in a placebo group.


What’s the best way to get started with Leanology?

Measurable weight loss and improvement in body composition has been reported in the first week but individual results may vary.

Clinical results support up to two pounds of fat loss per week with Leanology. Results may even exceed clinical results if positive modifications are made to one’s eating and exercising programs.


If I just take the supplements, will I lose weight?

As the study results show, people who took the supplements alone did lose weight. Because Leanology is a lifestyle approach to weight loss and maintenance, we suggest that you include proper nutrition, activity, supplementation and healthy lifestyle habits in your daily life.

What is Converta™ and how does it work?

Converta™, The Fat Burning Accelerator, is an exclusive blend of nutrients that helps convert stored fat into energy and promotes lean body mass while reducing body fat. Converta™ helps to convert stored fat into energy through the following process:
Step 1: Enzymes liberate fat from your diet and from your fat cells, and prepare it to be used as energy.
Step 2: This fat is broken down into usable packets of fuel in your bloodstream.
Step 3: Leanology Weight Loss Capsules help re-establish insulin sensitivity. This allows the fuel to enter the cell where it can create energy.
Step 4: The fuel is escorted by enzymes to the mitochondria (the energy-producing organs in your cells). The fat is burned and its energy is released.

What areas of weight loss do the Leanology Weight Loss Capsules target?

There are numerous obstacles that can impact your ability to lose weight. The Leanology Weight Loss Capsules were specifically formulated to target four key areas that assist in weight loss.

Cortisol & Anti-Stress: Helps to limit the amount of cortisol production in your body. High cortisol levels have been linked to abdominal fat.
Appetite Control: Helps to restore the natural chemical balance within your body to minimize cravings.
Blood Sugar Balance: Helps utilize the carbs and sugar you consume as energy to help prevent them from being stored as fat.

The Leanology shake provides a healthier alternative for a quick and convenient meal. Its well-balanced nutritional profile contains elements that are essential to a healthy meal: protein, healthy carbs, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Yes, many people like to do this, both for extra health and flavor variety. Just remember to add in these extra fruit calories if you are monitoring your total daily caloric intake.

Leanology shakes contain flax fiber. Fiber will continue to absorb water and thicken over time. It is best not to store blended Leanology shakes unless you desire a thicker consistency.
