TrimScience Acacia 120
Naming the “most advanced” diet pill ever created, TrimScience Acacia 120 focuses on one ingredient that you don’t typically see as a signature ingredient: acacia rigidula. According to the makers of TrimScience Acacia 120, acacia is the best possible way to:
• Lose 70% more than placebo test groups
• Increase fat loss by 92%
• Improve body composition by 121%
• Reduce waist circumference by 62%
But the studies don’t quite say the same thing. I conducted a search for the University of Minnesota study described by the TrimScience Acacia 120 website, just in case I missed something. And as it turned out, there are 2 studies that look into the possible connection between acacia and weight loss, because it is a natural amphetamine.
Study #1
The first study actually studied the relationship between acacia and soy and LDL cholesterol and weight loss. At 12 weeks, there was no measurable difference between the two groups. This study was conducted in Washington at the Functional Medicine Research Center.
Study #2
The second study specifically combined the Mediterranean diet with again soy protein and acacia in 49 subjects with hypercholesterolemia in a 12 week study. Again, at the end of the 12 week study, there was no measurable difference in any area between the two groups. Acacia seemed to be completely benign. This study was also conducted at the Functional Medicine Research Center in Washington. What happened to this Minnesota study? Who knows. But this does not mean that there are no positive studies. It just means that there are no studies specifically proving that acacia promotes weight loss.
What Does Acacia Actually Do?
Acacia is known for one thing: mood lifting benefits. As a natural amphetamine, it does seem to stimulate the production of certain happy hormones in the brain, which can be useful if you have other ingredients that actually promote weight loss results. But TrimScience Acacia 120 is a long way from anything that might even begin to resemble that.
The Skinny
TrimScience Acacia 120 lists one ingredient by default, because it happens to have that ingredient in its name. But ironically, the signature ingredient in TrimScience Acacia 120 and the only ingredient, has nothing to do with any weight loss results.
