Ingredients Label

Active Ingredients

CLA

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a type of fatty acid.

Studies have shown that it may improve fat oxidation (1).

An effective dose is 3-6g.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine is an amino acid involved in energy metabolism.

It helps with fat-loss in those who are deficient, and has also been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and concentration (2, 3).

An effective dose is 2,000mg.

Green Coffee Extract

Green coffee beans are high in chlorogenic acid.

Research has shown this compound has to improve fat-loss and heart health, by blocking the absorption of glucose (4).

Garcinia Cambogia

The Garcinia Cambogia fruit is a popular supplement for weight-loss.

It contains high levels of hydroxycitric acid, a compound which has been shown to have a small yet unreliable effect on fat loss (5).

Green Tea

Green tea extract is famous for its various health benefits.

Perhaps its most powerful effect is increasing fat oxidation. This has been confirmed by studies to be a potent and reliable result, especially when it’s used in conjunction with exercise (6).

The effective dose is about 500mg of extract.

Conclusion

Lean Mode is a great fat-burner for those who don’t want any extra caffeine. You can still enjoy your morning coffee or your pre-workout, without worrying about overdosing on stimulants.

The formula combines a bunch of different ingredients which will improve your rate of fat-loss. However, aside from acetyl-l-carnitine, it doesn’t have much in it to reduce appetite, or to improve mood and energy.

Lean Mode is great for those who don’t have major issues with energy and hunger, but would still like an extra boost for fat-loss.
