Cylaris
A vitamin-packed weight loss supplement.
BACKGROUND
Cylaris is one of the many vitamin-based supplements manufactured by Iovate Health, the Canadian vita-giant that also produces the "MD" lline, including, but not limited to, Joint MD, Allergy MD, Sleep MD, etc. Claiming to be the "world's most powerful" weight loss supplement, Cylaris is meant to be taken as an oral supplement, two capsules a day, two times per day, before meals.
PRO
- Cylaris is easy to take
- Website support includes testimonials with users enjoying a reasonable and healthy weight loss of not more than 1.5 pounds per week for women, 2 pounds per week for men
- High levels of B-vitamins and three sources of caffeine for extra energy
- Ingredients, such as green tea extract, have been shown to be effective appetite suppressants
- Recommended six mini-meals is a healthy approach to eating
CON
- Mind-boggling amounts of vitamins and caffeine could make most users feel sick upon consumption
- Body will acclimate to levels of supplements in Cylaris and hunger will resume over time
- Sleep may be severely affected, for those who are caffeine and/or stimulant sensitive
- Menu programs recommended by the Cylaris website are more restrictive than most people could follow
INGREDIENTS
Cissus quadrangularis is an herbal supplement not regulated by the FDA.
Cylaris claims to have conducted an 8-week scientific study, but said study is somehow "not available" to the public, and when contacted, a representative to the company admitted that the study is "not yet published."
Two caplets contains:
- Vitamin B-6
- Folic Acid
- Vitamin B-12
- Selenium
- Chromium
- Proprietary Blend
- 3 types of caffeine, including green tea extract
DIET and NUTRITION
Cylaris encourages a diet rich in healthy foods like whole grains, fresh produce and seafood. You should stay away from fast food.
EXERCISE
Website testimonials have activity tips, however, Cylaris is clearly meant to be an oral supplement, and users are on their own to come up with a physical activity plan that works.
CONCLUSION
Iovate Health seems to have the "supplement promise" category nailed down, as evidenced by the additional products that they manufacture, including Hydroxycut, RapidSlim, and Smart Burn. The company recommends the supplement to be used for 8 weeks, however testimonials for weight loss are as long as 30 weeks, or 7 months.
Cylaris seems to be a marginally healthy way to get a jump-start on weight loss via massive water loss, however, unless lifestyle changes are maintained for a lifetime, the cost and the jitters are unfortunate side effects.

This is my first day on Cylaris.I am 5'2 and weight 201. I am the heaviest I ever been and would like to lose 50 lbs. So far I feel like I have tons of energy. Even though I am gassier than usual, its probably a sign that there's nasty stuff in my stomach. I will keep posting and let you know how it goes.
this is my second 2 and so far so good. My cravings have decreased and i didn't get hungry @ night like I usually do. Will let you know more in a week.
I just started taking this pill it is my second day today! Less cravings for me after taking the pill, but I am starting to notice that I am not craving fast food. my only side effect is heart-burn. But I will continue to post my results as of now i weight 140lbs. I am Planning to lose at least 20lbs.
I LOVE this product, i have tried everything under the sun but this product worked best for me. Other things made me sick to my stomach this is just wonderful. i've been using it since september and i've lost around 50lbs.
I have been using this for 4 days now and I lost 3 pounds already. I realized the increase of energy and the decrease on food craving...but I did feel the sharp pain also. That was the first and only time today when I was jogging in place.
I started Cylaris a week ago and so far lost 6 lbs. It really curbs my cravings for sweets and a huge plate of food. I am very conscious about portion control and drinking more water. My biggest struggle has been to stay away from sodas. I feel great, the only thing I need to start is exercising regularly.
started Cylaris about a week ago and am on my 2 pills twice a day regimine i go to the gym six days and do a pilates video three times a week . it is too soon to see results but i do get those sharp shooting pains in my abdomen too as well as an empty headed feeling that could me mistaken as a small headache . Im gonna stick with it as ong as i can and hope to see results soon
I just started taking it and have lost 4 pounds in 5 days. No exercise because of the weather outside, but don't have the cravings for sweets, so I am eating healthier. I find it does help my appetite. my stomach has felt a little quesy after the second tablet in the evening, but it has kept me from eating late. Keeping my fingers crossed.
at first i started taking it and it made my anxiety crazy because of the caffine. Im going to start taking it again, because the first time i didnt excersize, I plan to this time.
Just took my first pill at 7:30 a.m. and only had a light yogurt for breakfast. Looking to lose 30 lbs over the next 12 months. It doesn't happen overnight folks!
I'm 5'2" and weigh about 164lbs. I would really like to lose at least 30lbs and I'm hoping Cylaris can help. I've only taken it for 2 days so far but I've noticed that I do have increased energy throughout the day and that my appetite is somewhat reduced. There are small crashes as well as stomach pain. Also the pills smell really bad. Other than that though I like it so far
I've been taking these pills for three weeks and I have lost 6 pounds. I'm very dehydrated and my stomach is always upset. I go to the restroom at least 6 times a day....
Just started taking the pills. Feel great, hope it really works.
people with the negative hands are idiouts, ive been taking it for 3 weeks. lost 15 pounds. no exercise. been eating less. but still eating
I took the pills only for two days and I had terrble constant headache.I stopped taking it and my headache is gone.I gained 3 pounds within a weekend.I am not happy with the product at all.
I have lost 52 pounds taking Cylaris. 4-6 lbs per WEEK! I am only 5'3, and was 241 pounds. I feel fuller, faster. It helps with my cravings. I DID have to cut my caloric intake to 1500 per day, and I DO exercise, 2-3 miles per day, 4x a week. There is no magic pill that is going to miraculously take the weight off you while you sit on the couch, watching Days Of Our Lives, but if you make the lifestyle changes, take the pills and STICK to it, I'm tellin ya, it worked for me.
I am going to start takeing it today. i hope this works im 6'0 195 lbs..i really need it to workk.
I just started this and I am hoping and praying it works
I have only been taking it a day and half, but I have so much energy on just 1 pill I don't think I will take two until my body gets used to this! I like it though, it definately seems to cut back the hunger.
I have been taking it for 3 weeks and loss 8 pounds it really is great for me.I had a baby 5 months ago and I feel great I also excercise and stay away from greasy foods and just drink water
