Muscle Sport: Liposlim

MuscleSport International's burgeoning reputation is founded on products using ingredients and doses proven to science. While it sounds like a simple formula for success it is one that not all supplement companies follow simply because sometimes it makes for expensive products and it is not as easy to market as a fancy product with mysterious ingredients.

Liposlim Revolution is a product containing one macronutrients, fat. While that does not sound like a promising beginning for a fat burner MuscleSport haven't just filled these softgels with saturated fats but instead Liposlim Revolution contains omega fatty acids which are both difficult to get enough of from the average diet, even the average athletic person's diet and crucially, these fatty acids have all been shown in copious numbers of studies to exert a positive effect on body composition.

• CLA is a very popular ingredient in weight loss products based on a number of studies and is a form of Omega-6 fatty acid found in red meat. At Predator Nutrition we believe in giving you honest feedback and our view is that while CLA is definitely effective for very overweight people the lack of evidence for its ability to get already lean people even leaner means that while it cannot hurt we do not know to what extent it will make a huge difference for those people. However, having said that CLA supplementation still has solid scientific principles supporting its use and lack of evidence in the lean is not the same as it not working.
• EPA/DHA are two Omega-3 fatty acids which are the primary essential fatty acids most people should be concerned about supplementing with. Ignoring the fat loss benefits, no other supplement has the diverse range of science tested benefits as these two. While they are found in fish oil, supplementation is a better bet for most since processing of fatty fish and heating under high temperatures are two things that can cause the Omega-3 fats in fish themselves to become degraded. Interestingly, recent research on fish oil supplementation has revealed that not only can they improve fat loss but they have even shown potential for building muscle.
• ALA is the final ingredient in Liposlim Revolution and derived from Flaxseed Oil. It has again been associated with a range of positive health benefits.

Liposlim Revolution does not reveal the precise breakdown of each ingredient which is a shame. Our personal take on it is that with the individual ingredients often requiring multi-gram doses to deliver an effifacious dose Liposlim Revolution would need dosing at a significantly higher dose than MuscleSport recommend to get an optimum effect from each ingredient. 

With that said, some is better than none but for our money, if we were using this product we would probably want to take it with some supplementary fish oil and CLA to get the best from these ingredients.
