Our Research Results
Discussion: Customer
feedback online about Primal
Lean is overwhelmingly favorable. There are virtually no
complaints or negative comments by users to be found.
Primal
Lean’s resume includes something that
many, if not most, other diet programs lack: the backing of a
randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled scientific study of its key
ingredient.
The
investigation by the University of Yaounde I in Yaounde, Cameroon, and
the University of Ngaoundere in Ngaoundere, Cameroon, found that
irvingia gabonensis “significantly reduces body weight” in overweight
persons.
If
you’re interested you can read the abstract of the study below. Laymen
will find the abstract rather dry reading, but the information
presented does provide scientific support for Primal
Lean’s claims. You can find more
information about the study by clicking here.
Based primarily on the scientific study as well as my personal experience with the product, we have given Primal Lean a buy-rating of five stars, our highest rating.

Study Abstract
Background
A
recent in vitro study indicates that IGOB131, a novel seed extract of
the traditional West African food plant Irvingia
gabonensis, favorably impacts adipogenesis
through a variety of critical metabolic pathways including PPAR gamma,
leptin, adiponectin, and glycerol-3 phosphate dehydrogenase. This study
was therefore aimed at evaluating the effects of IGOB131, an extract of
Irvingia
gabonensis, on body weight and associated
metabolic parameters in overweight human volunteers.
Methods
The
study participants comprised of 102 healthy, overweight and/or obese
volunteers (defined as BMI > 25 kg/m2)
randomly divided into two groups. The groups received on a daily basis,
either 150 mg of IGOB131 or matching placebo in a double blinded
fashion, 30–60 minutes before lunch and dinner. At baseline, 4, 8 and
10 weeks of the study, subjects were evaluated for changes in
anthropometrics and metabolic parameters to include fasting lipids,
blood glucose, C-reactive protein, adiponectin, and leptin.
Results
Significant
improvements in body weight, body fat, and waist circumference as well
as plasma total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, blood glucose, C-reactive
protein, adiponectin and leptin levels were observed in the IGOB131
group compared with the placebo group.
Conclusion
Irvingia
gabonensis administered
150 mg twice daily before meals to overweight and/or obese human
volunteers favorably impacts body weight and a variety of parameters
characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. This is the first double
blind randomized placebo controlled clinical trial regarding the
anti-obesity and lipid profile modulating effects of an Irvingia
gabonensis extract. The positive clinical
results, together with our previously published mechanisms of gene
expression modulation related to key metabolic pathways in lipid
metabolism, provide impetus for much larger clinical studies. Irvingia
gabonensis extract may prove to be a useful
tool in dealing with the emerging global epidemics of obesity,
hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and their co-morbid conditions.

Health and Humor
Voltaire
(and your grandmother) recognized long ago
that humor and laughter are good for you. You've probably noticed
yourself that
you simply feel better after a good belly laugh. The problem, of
course, is
that your sense of humor generally abandons you right when you need it
the most
– on the tough days. But if you manage to bring your sense of humor to
your
daily conflicts on your job, your relationship with your spouse and
children,
and your health or financial problems, you'll go a long way toward
improving
the quality of your life; and you'll boost your physical health and
well-being.
