Apatrim Overview

Apatrim is a weight loss product that is made by Patent Health. The company also produces many other drugs and nutraceuticals and has an informative website.Apatrim is marketed as an ‘As Seen on TV’ product, which will deter some consumers who are put off by such ‘gimmicky’ types of products. The product website has a few customer testimonials and offers a video testimonial with before and after examples. The company claims that Apatrim was tested by an independent physician, Dr. Ronald M. Lawrence, who concluded that Apatrim had a 100% success rate. The product was tested on 26 users who were also instructed not to change or start any diet or exercise programs.Other sources have pointed out that Patent Health has been involved in some dubious advertising practises, such as taking out full page newspaper ads and making them appear as real news items as well as making some unreasonable claims for their product, such as the fact that one can expect to lose 8lbs in three weeks. It has also been discovered that the clinical trial was sponsored by the makers of Slimaluma, Gencor Pacific, who in turn have sued Patent Health for false advertising.

Apatrim - Product Description

ApatrimApatrim is made of natural plant extracts and contains no stimulants. The major ingredient is Caralluma Fimbriata, an appetite suppressant extracted from an Indian plant which, according to the manufacturers has been ‘used for centuries’ by tribesmen. Caralluma Fimbriata has been compared to another suppressant, Hoodia Gordonii which is used in many similar products. There is no information to be found on any of the other ingredients contained in Apatrim, which is not good news for those with allergies or food sensitivity. The instructions for taking Apatrim are very simple with 2 capsules taken before lunch and two more before dinner.

Apatrim Advantage

  • The product does contain a known appetite suppressant, though the amount is not given.
  • Apatrim is easy to take, with no complicated schedules or instructions.
  • It is affordable, costing $48.00 for two bottles.
  • The product comes with a 90 day money back guarantee.

Apatrim Drawbacks

  • There are some very negative reports regarding Patent Health and Apatrim.
  • The company claims and statements are not FDA approved.
  • Nearly every claim made by the company is followed by a disclaimer in small print.
  • There is a lack of ingredient information.
  • Apatrim is marketed as a ‘miracle’ product, which is somewhat doubtful.
  • The testimonials also make dubious claims such as how the product starts working immediately.
  • The product is only available direct from the company.

Apatrim - The Bottom Line

It is obvious that Apatrim may not be the best product of its kind on the market. It is unlikely that any consumer would want to take a product for which so little information is given about the ingredients and which also makes outrageous claims. The inclusion of Caralluma Fimbriata will attract some, but most people may prefer to use a product with the better known Hoodia Gordonii.
