Science tells us that weight loss is linked to calorie burning. The more you diet and exercise, the bigger your calorie deficit will be, which means you’ll lose more weight.
Beyond 40, however, claims weight loss has more to do with age – not diet and exercise. They claim you can lose 7 pounds every 7 days while taking Lean Belly 3X – regardless of your diet and exercise habits – because the supplement optimizes your metabolism at any age, helping you naturally burn more calories.
Unfortunately, Beyond 40 has not completed or published research validating its weight loss claims. However, there’s some evidence that the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in Lean Belly 3X could accelerate weight loss.
Conjugated linoleic acid is a naturally-occurring fatty acid found in meat and dairy products. You can also find it in many dietary supplements. Some CLA supplements are advertised as diet pills. Some are advertised as bodybuilding supplements because they support lean muscle mass. You can also find CLA in supplements marketed to diabetics or people with blood sugar control issues.
CLA comes from multiple sources, although the CLA in Lean Belly 3X comes from safflower seed oil. Unlike meat and dairy sources of CLA, safflower seed oil is vegetarian and vegan friendly. However, the overall Lean Belly 3X supplement is not considered vegetarian or vegan because it uses gelatin (typically sourced from cows) to create the capsule.
Like other high-quality CLA supplements, Lean Belly 3X contains 80% CLA by weight. That means 80% of the safflower seed oil (1,200mg of 1,500mg total) consists of CLA instead of other additives.
Beyond 40 has done a great job at researching the Lean Belly 3X ingredients to prove their weight loss results based on the independent labs who have studied conjugated linoleic acid and its effects on weight loss.
