WellTrim iG is a nonprescription weight loss supplement based on African mango extract that was created by NuvoCare Health Sciences. That manufacturer has a number of different single ingredient diet pills that are all marketed on its website in the same way.
According to NuvoCare, the WellTrim diet pills will boost a user’s metabolism, shrink the appetite, stop blood sugar from being stored as body fat, and improves insulin sensitivity. It also claims that users lose an average of 28 pounds (though it does not say how it obtained this figure or how long it takes users to be able to lose that amount of weight).
Although the design of the official webpage for this diet pill does make it look like there are many different ways to obtain information about this product, much of it is simply repeated from one place to the next, it is not supported by any reputable evidence, and it is clearly designed to make a sale and not necessarily to actually educate those who would consider using it.
As is the case with many of the products that this manufacturer produces, it claims that WellTrim iG has been proven to work through scientific study. It calls the study “published”, but did not actually cite the journal in which it could be found. This is curious, as it would seem that if a study truly was published in a peer reviewed medical journal, then the manufacturer would be proud to provide this information so that consumers could know for certain that science backs this product’s use. The fact that it is lacking suggests that while it may be published, it could simply be found in regular media or in its own marketing materials. That hardly indicates that the product is “proven”.
It is also interesting that the information about the study ends in a paragraph that describes the fact that Dr. Oz has given the nod to this substance. The fact that it was mentioned by this television personality (who is, indeed a doctor) should not be confused with actual evidence. In fact, that specific doctor had to face a hearing with a federal Senate committee as a result of the broad number of claims that he has made with regards to unproven ingredients. His track record for recommending products to the public based on actual medical facts has been vastly shaken and should not be considered to be a personal recommendation to a patient from a doctor that knows his or her medical history.
