So this is a mixed review but I went to be fair to a supplement company without 20 years of experience run by an individual trying to help as much as she can.
Firstly Weight Bestie AM is giving me 0.4-1% body fat reduction support each week even when I’ve binged on bread! I’ve had a difficult couple of weeks where my usual calorie deficit wasn’t there and amazingly this still kept my fat burn going. Super impressed.
But the PM version has been disappointing for me. I first requested to buy without the PM version because I wondered if the Green Coffee Bean Extract might be caffeinated. I don’t believe it is, but this supplement still kept me awake all night. On researching myself as that’s what we do, right, I saw that the ingredients are mostly stimulating and the melatonin and tryptophan are low compared to my standalone supps - the melatonin content is fair at 4mg, sometimes I take the same sometimes up to 10mg, it’s great for liver support not just feeling sleepy naturally at bedtime. But the tryptophan is low, mine is 250mg versus the 50mg here. But there is a fight going on and I indeed unfortunately, without having researched it yet, found that each day, regardless of when I took the supplement - 8pm, 9pm, 5pm or 10am(!) it would cause a sleepless night. I’ve recently had my full bloods done and nothing notable there except I’m on the lower ends of normal when it comes to iron and vitamin D and B12 (low stomach acid can cause this which I’m raising naturally and effectively with morning celery juice see @medicalmedium, it works right away).
So I really can’t reconcile this. I will ask the company if I can buy only the AM because they don’t seem to rely on each other for efficacy. I appreciate we want to burn fat in our sleep, but it’s just not working.
Meanwhile I’ll continue with the AM til I’ve completed my cut and my healing around occasional boredom-overeating (highly recommend @brittanywatkinstapping).
Thanks Aggie and leaving reviews for Detox and Bloating too.
