Ingredient: LuraLean Review

We all know how difficult it can be to get our daily value of fiber.  LuraLean may be an easy answer to our problem.  LuraLean is said to be a zero-calorie fiber that can replace fats and extra calories in foods without affecting the flavor.  LuraLean is a new type of fiber that will not break down as it passes through the body.  LuraLean is also said to be a beneficial cholesterol regulator.

After the LuraLean has been consumed it will then interact with liquid in the stomach and supposedly expand to 200 times its original size.  This will give the user a feeling of fullness and satisfaction.  AHD, the manufacturer of LuraLean also claims that its unique formula acts as a “fat magnet” by attracting and binding excess oils calories and cholesterols.  The only downside to this is it may bind to the good fats in our system such as omega fatty acids which are essential to healthy living.

LuraLean was named one of the Nutraward Finalists in 2009.  This is a very prestigious award that recognizes only functional and measurable scientific studies to back up ingredients or supplements.

Ingredients in Ingredient: LuraLean

LuraLean is a fiber grown in Japan.  It is harvested and then purified to remove all imperfections and impurities.  This ensures that it will not breakdown when digested.  LuraLean is a form of glucomannan, which is an ingredient in several diet supplements.  Because of its purification process LuraLean is said to be much more effective than other forms of glucomannan.  It stays viable for over 24 hours while glucomannan only does for three hours.

According to the AHD’s official website over 60 clinical trials have proven LuraLean to be safe for consumers with no adverse side effects reported.

Final Thoughts

This ingredient sounds very exciting and beneficial not only to an everyday consumer but also to food manufacturers.  It seems that it is an excellent way to replace fat and calories in your diet with fiber.  It also seems like it would be a great appetite suppressant as it expands to over 200 times its original size.  I don’t believe that it will give you huge weight loss benefits but it definitely would be a positive start in trying to eat healthier fiber rich foods and less caloric and fat filled foods.  It appears to be a safe supplement that definitely might be worth trying.
