X4 Ingredients
Bio
X4 contains four ingredient blends :
Probiotic
Blend : Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus
plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium animalis.
Digestive
Enzyme Blend : Amylase, bromelain and lipase.
Weight
Management Blend : EGCG green tea extract.
Craving
Control Blend : Caralluma fimbriata extract.
We
will look at the ingredients in each of these blends in more detail below.
Probiotic
Blend
From
the limited research available, it seems that probiotics may only have a small
impact on weight loss. Two studies showed that the use of probiotics may result
in a loss of half a kilo (about one pound), but only if the probiotics were
taken for at least two months. Another review found no effect on body weight.
As
of now, the data is still weak and it’s still unclear which strains of
probiotics may be most effective when it comes to weight loss. Studies have
shown that two strains of probiotics; lactobacillus rhamnosus and
bifidobacterium lactis when taken in combination have also been associated with
weight loss.
A
review of randomized clinical trials demonstrated that the probiotic strains
lactobacillus plantarum and lactobacillus rhamnosus have also been associated
with weight loss, but only when used in conjunction with a calorie-restricted
diet. All of these strains are in Bio X4 probiotics.
When
a low-calorie diet was not adhered to, two of the five strains in Bio X4
probiotics (lactobacillus rhamnosus and lactobacillus acidophilus) were
actually associated with weight gain. Overall, most of the research on these
probiotic strains is limited due to small participant numbers, animal studies
and short intervention timescales. Additionally, much of the current evidence
is contradictory.
Since
research into probiotics and weight loss is still in its infancy, further
research is needed before any firm conclusions can be drawn. For now, we know
that successful weight loss comes down to energy balance. You need to take in
less energy (calories) than you are burning to create a negative energy balance
and therefore lose weight.
Digestive
Enzyme Blend
Digestive
Enzyme Blend are protein molecules that accelerate chemical reactions within
the body. Digestive enzymes are responsible for breaking down food into
nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
Bio
X4 contains the following enzymes :
Amylase
: breaks down sugars
Lipase
: breaks down fats
Bromelain
: breaks down proteins
The
human digestive system naturally produces these and other digestive enzymes. In
some cases (such as pancreatic insufficiency), the amount produced by the body
may not be sufficient and can lead to uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms
such as diarrhea and bloating.
In
these cases, people can be prescribed enzyme medications. The enzymes in these
medications are coated in a special material to ensure that they will survive
the acidic conditions of the stomach in order to have any effect.
Nucific
do not specify whether the enzymes in Bio X4 have such a coating, so it’s
unclear whether they would be effective in aiding the digestive process. Furthermore,
there is no scientific evidence to suggest that artificial digestive enzymes
assist with weight loss.
Weight
Management Blend
Weight
Management Blend 1 Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is an antioxidant compound
that naturally occurs in green tea. It’s used in Bio X4 due to its alleged
ability to boost the body’s fat-burning activity.
Some
animal studies have demonstrated that EGCG helps prevent against obesity.
However, a recent and thorough review of the research suggests that the effect
of green tea extract on fat loss is inconsistent and there aren’t any
high-quality human studies. We can’t be sure it has any weight-loss effect in humans.
A
further review of the existing evidence from human trials found no clinically
or statistically significant weight loss benefits from consuming green tea.
Craving
Control Blend
Craving
Control BlendCaralluma fimbriata is an Indian plant extract that supposedly
suppresses appetitea On their website, Nucific refer to a 2007 study
demonstrating that people who took the extract had a significantly reduced
appetite and waist circumference compared to a group of people who did not.
However,
in this same study, the extract didn’t have a significant effect on body weight
or body fat, so the reduction in waist circumference was probably due to fluid
loss as a result of diarrhea, which is a common side effect for Caralluma
fimbriata, or duet to human error in measurements.
A
much stronger clinical trial looking at the effect of Caralluma fimbriata
extract over three months found it had no significant effect on weight, body
mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference or waist hip ratio in
overweight and obese individuals.
The
studies that suggest that Caralluma fimbriata has an effect on weight loss have
only been conducted on animals, and therefore cannot be directly applied to
humans.
