Molin claims to quote unlock your metabolic Power by suggesting that higher levels of mitochondria in the body leads to weight loss they reference a study to back this up but there's a catch so the study they cite focuses on mitochondrial counts and lucaites a type of immune cell that fights infections it found that people with lower mitochondrial counts tend to have higher body weight and BMI however the study doesn't say anywhere that low mitochondrial counts cause weight gain instead it points out that low mitochondrial counts are a sign of high levels of oxidative stress a
problem linked to health issues like diabetes and cardiovascular disease these conditions not the mitochondria themselves are likely the real culprits behind weight gain in other words mitochondria levels are more of a side effect not the root cause they're merely using mitochondrial levels as a way to determine how serious the levels of oxidative stress were in the body the study also makes it clear that artificially boosting mitochondrial counts won't solve the underlying metabolic or oxidative stress issues contributing to obesity instead it emphasizes that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to better weight management which would naturally
reduce oxidative stress and improve mitochondria Levels by the way if you like deep analysis about supplements like Molin make sure to subscribe and hit hit the notification Bell I review a lot of them on this channel other studies cited by Molin Echo this people with high oxidative stress and thus low mitochondrial counts tend to be overweight while those with low oxidative stress and higher mitochondrial counts are generally healthier none of these studies suggest that it's the mitochondrial counts that are contributing to the weight or that increasing mitochondrial counts will lead to weight loss so Molin
claims are misleading there's no evidence that supplements or drugs can boost mitochondrial accounts for better weight loss purposes but let's dig deeper do any of melin's ingredients actually help with weight loss macki is a berry native to Chile and Argentina often used in food and traditional medicine however there's no evidence it affects metabolism or promotes weight loss one small study tested a specific macki extract for 3 months and found no significant and changes in blood sugar or insulin levels riola and chiandra are traditional herbs often marketed for stress reduction and fighting fatigue but when it
comes to weight loss zero human evidence suggesting they have any effect hocus is a type of algae best known for its natural source of aanin an antioxidant similar to Beta katene while it's often hyped for eye related health benefits there's no proof it helps with metabolism or weight loss a small study on pre-diabetic I adults tested aanin for 12 weeks and found no meaningful Improvement in blood sugar levels compared to a placebo amla is also known as Indian Gooseberry it is a number of traditional health benefits but weight loss isn't one of them in a
study on overweight individuals taking amla extract for 12 weeks had no effect on body weight or BMI however it may have some minor benefits for cholesterol and blood sugar for cholesterol small studies suggest amla extract can help improve lipid profiles for blood sugar a study in type 2 diabetics found that taking standardized amla extract for 90 days reduced blood sugar levels but here's the catch these studies use doses of5 to 3 G of standardized extract or up to 12 G of raw amla fruit extract far more than what melin contains Coco is the key component
of dark chocolate but don't expect it to help with weight loss a study on overweight women found that consuming coca daily for 18 weeks had no extra effect on weight loss compared to not consuming it however Coco may offer minor benefits for blood sugar and cholesterol small studies suggest it can help reduce blood sugar levels and diabetics though it doesn't significantly impact overall glucose metabolism or hba1c meaning that it's probably not that useful for cholesterol Coco May lower LDL and triglyceride levels but the effective doses range from 1 to 54 G daily again far more
than what midin provides so does Molin work absolutely not at least not for weight loss none of its ingredients have been shown to help humans shed pounds or increase mitochondrial function a few like amla and Coca might have mild benefits for blood sugar and cholesterol particularly in diabetics but the doses required to see benefits are significantly higher than what you'd get from Molin if you want to replicate its intended effects more effectively you'd be better off mixing amla powder and cocoa powder into a daily smoothie even then it won't help you lose weight just slightly
improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels if you're diabetic if managing blood sugar is your goal berberine is a far better option not only does it improve glucose control but it may actually have a small impact on weight many supplements like Molin follow a familiar and frustrating marketing Playbook they often kick things off with bold eye-catching claims that sound too good to be true and usually are in melin's case the pitch is that boosting your mitochondrial levels is the magic key to boosting fat to make these claims seem credible they'll reference scientific sounding articles or studies
but if you dig deeper those studies IES either don't support the claims at all or outright contradict them to add to the illusion these products often come bundled with a generic diet plan or detox program the trick here is simple if you follow the diet you might lose some weight but it's the diet doing the work not the supplement the hope is that you'll credit the supplement for your progress and keep buying more however this strategy doesn't hold up over time eventually people stopped following the diet regain the weight and realized the supplement was never
effective in the first place by the time they figure it out and try to get a refund the company has often vanished only to reappear under a new name with a new product and a fresh set of exaggerated claims it's a NeverEnding cycle old supplements fade away and new ones pop up and the same misleading tactics continue the goal is always the same to keep consumers hooked on buying ineffective products under different brand names over and over again melin is selling for around $60 per month if I wanted to replicate what I was trying to
do more effectively I just use a Pure amla or cocoa powder a much better quality amla or cocoa powder is a mere one1 to do dollars a month and buring which would be far more effective is only $7 to $10 a month rating myin by Effectiveness for weight loss I'm giving it an F it's completely useless for weight loss radiant by cost I'm giving it an F far more effective treatments exist for far cheaper radiant for safety I'm giving it a c although the listed ingredients are unlikely to be harmful these sketchy supplements do not
have transparent ingredient lists and may be adulterated with other harmful substances overall rating I'm giving an F I would recommend you stay away from it hi I'm Dr Brian Young do you think it's worth it let me know in the comments down below if you found me to helpful please subscribe to the channel and leave me a like hit the notification you want to stay up the DAT and share this video with some you know who use the info [Music]
