Here we go again. Another natural fruit that somehow will lead to miracle weight loss. Sorry for the pessimism there, but thats a carousel that continues to roll around and around. But let’s discuss Moyoberry and why the makers of this weight loss supplement believe that it can be an active player in the game known as weight loss.
What do we know about Moyoberry?
It comes from West Africa, specifically from the rainforests of Cameroon. Somehow the seeds of this fruit interact and manipulate the body’s enzymes and genes that regulate metabolism. This manipulation can somehow increase the body’s metabolic rate thus improving the level at which it burns fat.
The extract from the berry is also supposed to reduce fat storage in the body. The body uses an enzyme called glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to create glucose into triglycerides, or a process responsible for the creation of fat cells. It’s thought that this extract can interrupt this process, reducing the amount of fat cells created.
Are there scientific studies to back up claims by Moyberry?
The manufactures cite a study done at the University of Yaounde in Cameroon that says subjects given the extract lost an average of 12 pounds. That’s significantly higher then a second group who participated. That group was given a placebo and showed no weight loss.
Now, it’s hard to validate such a study so I can’t say whether there were other factors that led to the weight loss and not mentioned by the company in their sales pitch.
Does Moyberry come with a guarantee?
But the makers do go out on a limb to put their money where their mouth is. They offer a pretty solid full refund. They say if you don’t lose the 12 pounds in 30 days—with no active change in your lifestyle, they’ll give you a full refund. That’s pretty bold.
The Good
- Great guarantee
- Research performed on Moyoberry extract
- $37 isn’t terribly expensive
The Bad
- Hard to substantiate clinical research
- Not exactly sure how product works
- Lacks ingredient information
The way we see it
The guarantee is pretty good, you got to give them that. I just don’t know enough about the product to give it an accurate description. They can do a better job listing the ingredient information on their website. If you’re willing to fork out 40 bucks for an unknown go ahead, but you might as well find something that’s proven.
