Propolene Review

An Appetite Suppressant

As the name suggests, Propolene is a weight loss product that contains propol. Propol is the brand name chosen by the manufacturers of Propolene for glucomannan, a substance that burns fat so people lose weight quicker. Glucomannan is also present in products like Tech’s Diet Tech and Fiber Thin.

Glucomannan is synonymous to fullness. This is because it is a soluble fiber that helps to promote fullness. In this context therefore, Propolene can be considered an appetite suppressant. We found some online data about clinical studies that were conducted on glucomannan.

A Study

These were the studies that were cited by one writer: (J Am Coll Nutr. 2003 Feb;22(1):36-42, Diabetes Care. 2000 Jan;23(1):9-14, Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis. 2005 Jun;15(3):174-80). These studies were able to prove that glucomannan can lower amounts of bad cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Another Study

Another study cited by the writer - (Int J Obes. 1984;8(4):289-93, Med Sci Monit. 2005 Jan;11(1):PI5-8) – deals directly with the positive impact of glucomannan on weight loss. In 1984, International Journal of Obesity reported that people were able to lose six pounds after two months.

Note that these studies were done on glucomannan and not on Propolene.

The Problem with Some Weight Loss Pills

It has been suggested that when taking weight loss products containing glucomannan, vitamin supplements should be taken, to replenish nutrients. The problem with some weight loss products like Propolene is that while they help to suppress appetite, they could prevent the absorption of essential nutrients.

Aside from its weight loss benefits, glucomannan by itself may be considered healthy because of its fiber content. People who live in industrialized societies do not have enough fiber which can lead to digestive and intestinal problems.

Supplemented with Excelerene

One thing that should be noted is that Propolene is sold with another product called Excelerene. Excelerene is a fat burner made of green tea, chromium, Kola-nut and bitter orange, as well as B-vitamins.
• Green Tea extract: it is a well known fact that green tea extract is a potent antioxidant. It also benefits a person’s metabolism and thermogenesis • Chromium: a substance that regulates insulin levels. This means the product promotes healthy blood sugar levels. • Kola-Nut: “cola” is synonymous to caffeine so this ingredient is to boost a person’s energy as well as helps burn fat.
The bottom line? The manufacturers of Propolene are offering customers a healthy eating plan when they buy the product. Its main thesis is the 40-40-20 ratio for proteins, carbohydrates and fats. This healthy eating plan recommends eating five or six meals a day (an approach that has been gaining a large following) as long as portions are small. The bonus here is that the plan offers meal plans, a shopping list and practical tips.

Word of caution: Propolene is manufactured by a company called Obesity Research Institute, LLC and the Federal Trade Commission is looking into its weight loss claims.
