Accelis is “a revolutionary stimulant-free weight-loss supplement that can help you lose an average of 10.65 pounds fast.” (website) (10.65 — are you sure it’s not 10.73? read: sarcasm) This Accelis review will examine the ingredients in Accelis and let you know what you might expect from Accelis diet pills.

Accelis Supplement Facts

Accelis Weight-Loss Proprietary Blend – 30mg

Lagerstroemia speciosa l. extract (leaf) standardized for 3 percent corosolic acid*, Caffeine-free green tea extract (as Camellia sinensis) (leaf) Supplying polyphenols, catechins, epigallocatechin gallate*, Caffeine-free oolong tea extract (as Camellia sinensis) (leaf) standardized for 15 percent EGCG, 25 percent catechins, 50 percent polyphenols*, Caffeine-free white tea extract (as Camellia sinensis) (leaf) Standardized for 15 percent EGCG, 35 percent catechins 50 percent polyphenols*, Chamomile extract (as Matricaria recutita) (flower) Supplying 1.2 percent apigenin*, Passionflower extract (as Passiflora incarnata) (aerial parts) Supplying 3.5 percent flavonoids*, Soy phospholipids Supplying 23 percent phosphatidyl ethanolamine (NOPE)*

Lagerstroemia speciosa (also known as “Banaba”): standardized for corosolic acid. Banaba has been shown to lower blood glucose levels, providing benefit to overweight obese individuals.¹ Unfortunately, Accelis includes Lagerstroemia speciosa in a “proprietary blend.” In other words, they don’t want you to know how little of this ingredient is included in the formula. This makes it impossible to know if the amount of Lagerstroemia speciosa in Accelis diet pills will be effective.

Green tea is a tried and proven weight loss ingredient which increases metabolic function. However, this is due to the caffeine in green tea, so the caffeine-free green tea in Accelis diet pills is not effective in weight loss.

Oolong tea has been shown to increase metabolism. (source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13678386?dopt=AbstractPlus. However, this is most likely due to the caffeine contained in Oolong tea. Thus, this Accelis review finds the caffeine free Oolong tea in Accelis is ineffective.

The big take-away from that lengthy list of confusing ingredients?  We’re mainly talking about tea here, they’re just using very long explanations to explain what’s in it, and the proprietary blend is an extremely small 30 mg! Bear in mind, the two pills we recommend (Thermodrenix and PatentTrim provide 1,000 mg of Green Tea along.  Even subpar diet pills will include 50 to 150 mg…) — this is unbelievably ridiculous.

Accelis and their Clinical study

The Accelis website says there is a clinical study to back up their claims. They do not mention that the study was done on Lagerstroemia speciosa alone, not on Accelis. Since they do not disclose how much Lagerstroemia speciosa the Accelis formula contains (be assured, it’s not a lot with a  proprietary blend of only 30 mg total), there is no way to compare the study with the actual product.

Accelis Price

Accelis diet pills will cost you $22.95 for a 20 day supply (at 2 capsules per day). This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering they don’t even tell you how much of each ingredient is included, it is way, way too expensive.

Accelis Side Effects

Side effects of Accelis include nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, heartburn

The following side effects should be reported to a doctor:

Loss of consciousness
Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
Allergic reaction

Accelis Conclusion

Accelis is another diet pill that hides the amount of their ingredients. It also includes caffeine-free teas, which really have no effect on weight loss. We recommend looking for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.
