I just recently read an interesting article in Life Extension magazine on the effects of Fucoxanthin, which is a natural carotenoid that helps to burns fat at the cellular level, in particular belly fat. The article explained how numerous studies overwhelmingly proved that this natural plant extract burns body fat without side effects. What it basically does is it boosts the metabolism even at a resting level to thermogenically reduce fat, especially around the stomach area.

One very recent human study in overweight women who took a supplement of Fucoxanthin & pomegranate seed oil lost an average of about 15 pounds in a 16 week study compared to the control group who only lost 3 pounds.

So, why the pomegranate seed oil (note: NOT pomegranate juice)? After digging a little more I found in my research that pomegranate seed oil has some amazing benefits of its own. It’s the only plant that has conjugated fatty acids which is very closely related to CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). CLA has antioxidant and anti-cancer properties and helps fight breast, skin and colon cancer growth. It also helps to reduce body fat, particularly belly fat.
Pomegranate seed oil contains an exceptional amount of punicic acid which helps prevent cancer, weight gain, diabetes and heart disease. Used topically it can also help skin irritations and help to stop wrinkles.

It seems fucoxanthin combined with pomegranate seed oil may really work to burn fat, so I’m off to buy some right now. I’ll have an update with my personal review, but after reading the studies (I’m the kind of person who wants to see the proof that something works, not just ‘because I said so’) this product sounds promising. At 38 years old I have a lot more belly fat than I need so I’m going to try it and see if it really works for me. I’ve searched the internet and read a lot of reviews, it seems it’s working for others so I’m hoping it will work for me too! If you’ve tried it please comment here and let me know. I would love to hear about it.
