Body Answers ECRTrim™ is a weight loss supplement which works through appetite suppression. It is manufactured by the popular supplement chain GNC with locations all over the country as well as an online store. GNC not only sells its own products but health and nutrition supplements from other companies as well.

GNC describes ECRTrim™ as the ideal first step to dieting. This appetite suppressing supplement is made to minimize hunger in order to lower daily caloric consumption. This is just one of many weight loss supplements that approach the problem by focusing on the appetite. Let us have a closer look at this product to find out if it would work as advertised.

The website does not provide the list of ingredients used in the formulation but we do know that it is supposed to be made with all-natural components. This information is usually available on the product label but this is not much help to consumers who want to find out more about a product and how it works before buying it.

Not providing this essential information to potential customers is an act which reeks of irresponsibility. There may be substances in the formulation that may pose potential health risks or which may cause allergic reactions in some people, thus it is extremely important for consumers to know what a product is made of. At the same time we expect manufacturers to proudly display ingredient information so as to show how much better their product is compared to the competition. With such information missing, we then tend to think that this product may be inferior to the others.

The product description states that this supplement contains Green Tea Extract and Vitamin B6. GNC says that Green Tea supports the metabolic process but fails to mention that it is also a caffeine derivative and a stimulant that works on the nervous system. We recommend products which use patented non-stimulant fat burners instead as these do not trigger caffeine associated side effects such as insomnia, nausea, and the state of being jittery.

The other ingredient is Vitamin B6 which is said to play a major role in the production of energy. Neither of the two known ingredients has been associated with hunger control. The substance which surely curbs appetite and has in fact been recognized as a breakthrough appetite suppressant, is the extract from the African herb Hoodia Gordonii. It has been proven to reduce hunger and food cravings. We are in doubt whether this ingredient is present in this supplement.

This product comes with a meal plan which instructs users to maintain a 1500 calories a day diet. This amount may be too low for people who engage in a lot of physical activities. Reducing caloric intake is definitely one way to slim down, however it has to be done in a safe and sensible manner and not in a way where one would be forced to starve so that long-lasting weight loss can be achieved.

Take note that the two known ingredients have not been proven to suppress the appetite. Those who are looking for an appetite suppressant that surely works should find one which contains Hoodia. One which combines Hoodia with a non-stimulant fat burner is even better. Clinical trials have proven the effectiveness of this ingredient.
