OptiLean

Why Use OptiLean?

Promotes the body’s natural ability to burn fat.^1,3,5  Helps you use fat for energy while maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and promoting muscle repair and recovery. 

How OptiLean Works?

OptiLean promotes energy metabolism by burning fat.^1,3,5  The ingredients in OptiLean have thermogenic (fat burning) properties to help support healthy metabolism and body composition.^1,2,3,4  OptiLean promotes healthy fat breakdown, satiety (satisfied hunger), energy production, and absorption of nutrients.^1,2,3,4,5

What is OptiLean?

Chromium picolinate acts as a cofactor to help insulin in processing nutrients, allowing it to help promote healthy carbohydrate and lipid metabolism at the cellular level. ^7,8  L-carnitine helps support weight loss by getting fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned for energy.^9,10  L-carnitine helps support muscle repair and recovery by promoting healthy red blood cells and oxygen throughout the body.^11,12

African mango extract helps decrease hunger by promoting healthy leptin balance.¹³  Leptin is a hormone produced by fat tissue.  African mango extract causes leptin to tell the brain that the body has stored enough fat, causing you to feel full.¹⁴
