Via Ananas is a weight loss supplement that primarily acts as a fat burner. It claims to burn fat, remove toxins from the body, and block new fat accumulation. It is manufactured by Viatonic division of Stambouli Enterprises: a very old company in France that has been producing supplements for nearly 40 years.
Ingredients and Scientific Studies
The primary active ingredient of this product is Pineapple extract containing 75% Bromelain. Microcrystalline cellulose is used as a stabilizing agent. Bromelain is an enzyme that is found in pineapple roots. It has been used since ancient times as a meat tenderizer. It has also been a part of many medicinal concoctions. However, we could not find any instance of it being used a weight loss agent. It is not approved by the FDA for any application. We could not find any clinical studies showing any effectiveness of bromelain as a weight loss agent.
Dosage
The manufacturer recommends that 2 capsules a day be taken before breakfast or lunch.
Effectiveness and Noted Side Effects
User reviews for the product have been mediocre so far. Users have commented on the lack of promised results, and they have also reported no change in either their weight or appetite. There have been some noticeable side effects. These include dry mouth, upset mouth, and mood swings.
Cost
The cost for a bottle of 50 capsules ranges from $15-$40 by different vendors.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we would say that Via Ananas is a product that contains an unproven ingredient (Bromelain) as the main agent. That alone makes us reluctant to recommend this product to you. Also, some of the side effects seem undesirable in the long run. We feel that there are better products worth your time and money.
