Abgone slimming supplement doesn't work at all
We'd never heard of Abgone, a slimming supplement that the US company Biotech Research has been selling through crafty Internet campaigns. So initially we were also not particularly interested in a recently published scientific study, which showed that Abgone has no noticeable effect. So why are we devoting attention to it now? Because the Abgone affair shows that a certain category of supplements manufacturers are out to lighten your purse.
Abgone
And that's ridiculous. You need at least 2-3 g a day of CLA alone if you want to see some effect, and BCAAs only start to have an effect at much higher doses.
Study
Effects
The only variable that Abgone had any effect on was the subjects' feeling of hunger, which increased.
The study is based on the graduate thesis of Shweta Rawal at Florida State University, which was published in October 2013. [Rawal, Shweta, "The Impact of a Multi-Ingredient Dietary Supplement Taken for 8 Weeks on Body Composition and Health in Overweight Men and Women" (2013). Electronic Theses, Treatises and Dissertations. Paper 8625.]
The thesis makes no mention of exactly which supplement was used. This information is included in the article published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. The product was manufactured by Suarez Corporation Industries, you can read in the article. And with this information it takes just a couple of seconds of Googling to learn that the product Rawal studied was Abgone.
