Diet 5 is a formula advertised as a product that contains 5 key ingredients to improve your body. It was developed by the makers of Ultra Diet Pep. Presented in large capsule form, the supplements are taken before the two largest meals of the day. This product is claimed to help block carbohydrates, enhance metabolism, and prevent fat production to help dieters attain their target weight. 5-HTP is an additional ingredient that eases feelings of anxiety and promotes tranquility. The relationship between mood and weight loss has not yet been established but research is presently being done.

Diet 5 contains five key ingredients: Alpha Block breaks down sugars and supports the inhibition of amylase; Citrin Garcinia Cambogia suppresses the appetite by providing nutritive support; Green Tea burns fats and promotes thermogenic support; DynaChrome Chromium supports proper glucose metabolism; and 5-HTP, the pre-cursor of serotonin, promotes feelings of calmness, respectively. These five products are claimed to help in weight loss.

When combined with regular exercise and sufficient water intake, this supplement will keep one energized and feeling positive. However, we do not approve the inclusion of 5-HTP which is usually found in anti-depressants. It is a known fact that the risks involved in the use of mood altering drugs are too great in relation to the benefits.

5-HTP which is the precursor of serotonin, has not been scientifically proven as helpful in weight loss. As a matter of fact, even if it influences the mood to promote ease and tranquility, it has been associated with the craving for carbohydrates. Those who are taking other weight loss medications should practice caution. Alcohol use in correlation with Diet 5 may have adverse effects.
