VERDICT
In our opinion Lean Optimizer is a good product – but not a great one.
Customer opinion appears to reflect this. For every positive review from a customer you will find a not so good one. This is the case for most of the fat burner industry though – you cannot please everyone.
If you were set on buying Lean Optimizer we wouldn’t try to change your mind too voraciously – but we would suggest having a peak at PhenQ
What is Lean Optimizer
Lean Optimizer is a herbal diet pill manufactured in the USA by Health, Fitness & Longevity (HFL). The company is owned by Dr Sam Robbins.
He is a qualified doctor, with a background in endocrinology, and he claims to be on a mission to “help optimize your health naturally, by utilizing simple, efficient and proven methods.”
The pills are claimed to have the ability to turn on the body’s “fat burning genes”.
Whether they can actually achieve this is disputable, but the product has been on the market for over 14 years and Robbins says it has helped 588,000 people to lose weight. That’s a lot, and there are over 300 customer reviews posted on the official site, and we have to admit they appear to be genuine.
Other advertised benefits include:
- Naturally helps boost your metabolism
- Targets stubborn fat areas
- Reduces your appetite and sugar cravings
Key Ingredients
Each capsule contains specified amounts of:
- Vitamin C (75mg)
- Potassium (50mg)
- Vitamin B6 (12.5mg)
- Chromium Picolinate (100mcg)
The rest of the ingredients are housed in a proprietary blend and the weights and ratios are not provided.
Synergy Optimizer Technologies Blend (753.64mg):
- Green Coffee Bean
- Theobromine
- Yerba Mate
- Dandelion Root
- Bladderwrack
- 3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine
- Chlorella Chlorophyll
- Higenamine HCL
- L-Tyrosine Ethyl Ester
- 5-HTP (Griffonia Simplicifolia)
- Dendrobium (60% extract)
- Coleus Forskohlii (10% Forskolin extract)
- Guggulsterones (Synthetic 450, E + Z 1:1)
Does the Formula Work?
The use of so many ingredients in unspecified amount makes it impossible to ascertain the benefits the product is likely to provide, but chromium can help balance blood sugar levels and prevent cravings for sweet food. Green coffee bean shares this ability and it also boosts the metabolism and encourages better fat burning abilities.
Yerba mate is a mild stimulant that can provide a slight energy boost.
Coleus Forskohlii is also a stimulant. The orchid extract, dendrobium, and the amino acid, L-Tyrosine, are stimulants too. This could make the product unsuitable for anyone who does not tolerate stimulants well.
Bladderwrack is a good natural source of iodine, so it helps support thyroid health. In so doing, it may help boost the metabolism.
Many of the other ingredients also have the potential to help people to lose weight faster, but good results will require adequate quantities. The presence of dandelion does not inspire confidence though. It’s a diuretic that can make the body retain less water. This may make the body lighter and trick people into thinking they have lost more fat than they have.
Usage Instructions
New users should begin with just one capsule per day. This should be taken before breakfast. A second capsule is required six hours later and will need to be taken on an empty stomach.
Each dose should be consumed with two cups of water.
From the eighth day forward the dose can be upped to two capsules, taken two times per day. For best results, the capsules should be used for a minimum of six to eight weeks and results can be further improved by using the pills in conjunction with diet and exercise.
Lean Optimizer Customer Feedback
The official site contains lots of comments that suggest the product works well.
A few of them read:
“Lean Optimizer is amazing. I’ve been taking it for 8 weeks and lost a total of 42lbs.”
“I’ve been using the pills with diet and exercise and can confirm they speed things up.”
“In the last 8 weeks I’ve lost 10lbs and all of it was fat. These diet pills are the real deal.”
Reviews placed at a less biased source would be preferable, but we were unable to find any.
The Ripoff Report contains a number of complaints about Dr Robbins and his company, but he has responded to all comments made and claims his competitors are leaving fake complaints to damage his reputation. Looking at some of the complaints and the responses he’s made, there is a good chance this is true.
Side Effects & Health Issues
Lean Optimizer is unlikely to be a suitable option for women who are pregnant or nursing a child. All new users are advised to seek medical advice prior to commencing supplementation.
Dr Robbins also points out the formulation has “subtle anticoagulating effects.” This is an especially noteworthy point for anyone who is using blood thinning medication.
Where To Buy Lean Optimizer
Lean Optimizer is only available from official website. A bottle contains 90 capsules and the RRP is $79.97 (or £GBP equivalent). Discounts are often available, and there are also offers such as buy two bottles and get a third one free of charge.
Guarantee
The Lean Optimizer money back guarantee is probably unbeatable. It’s good for a year and anyone who is unhappy with their purchase gets a full refund plus an additional $100(or £GBP equivalent).
Lean Optimizer The Bottom Line
Lean Optimizer contains ingredients that may support weight loss, and a large proportion of customer reviews are very good. Both these things are points in the product’s favour, but when a diet pill contains diuretics it confuses things.
It would be interesting to know how many of the positive reviews were left by people who were still taking the pills or had only recently stopped.
Water levels return to normal fast when diuretics are removed from the diet, and any (water) weight lost will be quick to return. The money back guarantee is excellent, so customers should be able to get a refund (and then some) if the weight did return. That’s an important consideration, but so is the price.
Customers who are taking the full dose (four capsules per day) will find their bottles runs dry in around three weeks and, with an RRP of nearly $80 per bottle it’s pretty safe to say there are cheaper ways to go.
Looking Elsewhere
PhenQ is non prescription, multi action diet pill that is receiving plaudits from industry experts and customers alike. It combines the best weight loss mechanics of action in the one pill.
It can help users to burn existing body fat while also preventing the formation and creation of new dietary fat by blocking a high percentage without compromising vitamin intake. Can also act as an appetite suppressant by helping to reduce calorie consumption.
There is a lack of gimmick and hype, it is a serious diet product that is both highly effective and safe to use for both men and women. In our opinion PhenQ is preferred over and above Lean Optimizer.
