Avesil Review

Avesil is a fairly new diet pill on the market that claims to be a “safe, effective weight control formula made form ingredients supported by substantial published scientific research.” And that “With Avesil you can expect to lose significantly more weight than with a healthy diet or exercise alone.” Our interest was perked as they mentioned “published scientific research” as that is what we base the majority of our ratings on. Unfortunately we were sorely let down by Avesil. The following Avesil review will detail why.

Ingredients

• Calcium (150 mg)
• Chromium (133 mcg)

• Garcinia Cambogia (1500 mg)
• Green Tea (150 mg)
• Caffeine Anhydrous (50 mg)

Click on the above ingredients for a full review of the ingredient.

Chromium – Chromium’s claim to weight loss is through regulation of blood sugar levels. While it has been proven that chromium is needed to regulate your blood sugar, the jury is still out as to whether or not this correlates directly with weight loss (although there are many that do believe so).

Garcinia Cambogia – Has been shown in clinical studies to be effective in appetite suppression.

Also note: The FDA has issued a warning against Hydroxycut-branded products for possibly causing health problems related with the liver. While the FDA has not confirmed it, some believe that the ingredient behind the problems is Hyrdoxycitric Acid, or HCA. HCA is found in Garcinia Cambogia. So until more definitive research is done, we are no longer recommending any products that contain the ingredient Hyrdoxycitric Acid. See the complete FDA report here or the Hydroxycut Review here for more info.

Green Tea – Known for its fat burning capabilities, green tea has been shown in many clinical studies to effectively aid to weight loss. It increases the metabolic rate and also contains caffeine which is an effective weight loss stimulant. Avesil contains 150 mg of green tea. The studies that we’ve found use more green tea (at least 300 mg) so it’s difficult to say whether or not the amount in Avesil will be effective.

Caffeine Anhydrous – A fancy name for dehydrated caffeine, caffeine anhydrous is another proven weight loss supplement. It is a stimulant that effectively boosts your metabilism and your energy levels. Caution should be taken by those who are unable to handle stimulants well.

The ingredient profile in Avesil actually looks somewhat promising. We like that they have disclosed the amounts of each ingredient (something that not many do). It’s unclear, however, if those amounts are high enough to be effective.

Avesil’s Marketing

There has been a trend recently in diet pill marketing to use “free trails” to entice people into enrolling into their autoship programs which can become a financial hassle if you are not careful about finding out the specific terms and conditions that you agree to when you enter the free trial. You’ll notice on Avesil’s website there actually is no option of simply buying a bottle of their diet pills. The only way to obtain Avesil through their website is to enter into a trial first. The following is part of the terms and conditions of this trial.

“Start your RISK-FREE Trial today and we will send you a full 30-day supply of Avesil. Just pay $5.95 in shipping and processing. You will have 14 days to try Avesil and discover why it is the perfect Weight-Control Formula for you. If you are satisfied with Avesil, do nothing – at the end of your free-trial period you will be charged the price of $89.95. If for any reason Avesil is not for you, call Customer Care toll-free at 866-730-3330 within your 14-day free-trial period to cancel. Then simply return the product (even if it is empty!) and you will NEVER be billed. No commitments, no hassles.

Plus, if you decide to keep Avesil, you will receive FREE acceptance in Avesil Elite and will receive a fresh supply of Avesil approximately every 30 days at the same low price of $89.95, a 22% discount. You can cancel anytime by calling Avesil Customer Care. No risk, no obligation, cancel any time!” (my boldings added)

They are upfront about the autoship, but you do have to do a bit of searching to locate the small link to the terms and conditions on the official website. This marketing strategy has been effective for plenty of diet pill companies, but has resulted in many complaints from consumers who didn’t bother to read the fine print. It is important to make sure when buying Avesil that you are aware of the terms of the sale and you are okay with them.

Avesil’s Price

As you can see above in their terms and conditions, one bottle of Avesil is $89.95. This price can only be found on the official website if you read the terms and conditions. While the ingredients in the pill may be effective, the amounts may be a little low and there are plenty of other diet pills out there with even better ingredients and even higher amounts (and at a lower price).

Avesil’s Gaurantee

Avesil  has a “no-questions-asked 100% money-back guarantee” which is great, but again if you read the terms and conditions you’ll learn that that guarantee only applies to the free-trial period (14 days).  It’s also important to know that you can’t simply just ship the pills back and be refunded if you change your mind, you must also obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number to ensure accurate processing. Otherwise you will receive no refund, and you will continue to be automatically shipped a bottle of Avesil every 30 days and charged $89.95 with every shipment.

Conclusion

Avesil has good, proven ingredients for weight loss and overall wellness. However, Avesil only contains questionable amounts of these ingredients making it hard to determine how effective the product is itself. The free-trial is only a good method for obtaining Avesil if you are fully aware of the requirements necessary to get out of the trial (see above). You only have 14 days to decide if you want to be charged $89.95 on a continual every-30-day loop. So decide fast, and if you decide to discontinue and have unused products, make sure to call and get an authorized number. However, at $85.95 a bottle, it might be a better decision to find an better more effective alternative at a better price.
