Bio-Drene: Weight Loss Supplement



What Is It?
Bio-Drene is a dietary supplement intended to aid in weight loss and fat-reduction. Bio-Drene’s formula is comprised of five-naturally occurring substances that help reduce “input calories” absorbed through the digestive system and/or increase the “output calories” burned up in the metabolic process.

Subjects who participated in a clinical study of Bio-Drene lost an average of 11.6 pounds in 30 days. That’s significant pounds dropped!

What Do They Say it Does?
The research behind Bio-Drene indicates that Bio-Drene helps to stimulate the breakdown of fat cells and promote weight loss in the following three ways (when combined with a sensible diet):
•    Block the digestion and the absorption of fat-producing carbohydrates
•    Enhance the body’s metabolism of fat-producing carbohydrates
•    Stimulate the balancing of blood sugar and the breakdown of fat cells

The product information states that one capsule works for a full 24-hours, essentially working “around the clock . . . even while you sleep.” At last – something accomplished while you get your Zzzzz’s!

Ingredients
Main Ingredients: Chromium, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Gymnema Sylvestre, Banaba Leaf Extract, Green Tea SE Decaf.
Other Ingredients: Rice Bran Oil, Gelatin, Glycerin, Water, Beewax, Lecithin Oil.

What We Like
It's got all of the right ingredients plus no caffeine! There is an expiration date and lot number listed on the packaging, as well as a toll-free number for questions or re-orders. The capsules are of a manageable size to swallow, and the slippery texture makes doing so even easier. They also have somewhat of a black licorice odor, but not an aftertaste of the same (this could be a negative if you’re not partial to black licorice, however).

What We Don’t Like
The bottle doesn’t say exactly what the product is for – just lists it as a “dietary supplement.” Also, the capsules have somewhat of a “greasy” feel to them, almost like the outside coating is “leaking” off. In fact the capsules in the bottle I opened and tested left a bit of a black residue on my fingers.

As always, check with your doctor before starting any new supplements because there are several options out there. For example, there's also SlimAgainPlus, Xellex, Slendcor, BurnMore, Celebrities Diet, and Chromax 1000. Overall we think Bio-Drene is an effective weight-loss tool when combined with proper nutrition and exercise, and we give it a 5 rating. To learn more about it, visit their website below.
