Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Review: Our Concerns

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Review: Our Concerns


| |
| |

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice is a weight loss product sold on various distributor websites and on Amazon. Some retailers of the beverage claim that it can support natural weight loss and contains “superfoods.”

But does Ikaria Lean Belly Juice contain ingredients proven to cause weight loss in research studies? Does it contain any unhealthy additives? Why is there an ingredient discrepancy between Amazon and the distributor websites? And how do real users rate and describe the effects of Ikaria Lean Belly Juice?

In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in Ikaria Lean Belly Juice to give our take on whether or not it's likely to be effective for weight loss, and whether or not it's healthy.

We'll also share our concerns about an ingredient discrepancy, share our concern about its status as a ClickBank product, and feature customer reviews of Ikaria Lean Belly Juice.

Ingredient Analysis

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice ingredients

The ingredients in Ikaria Lean Belly Juice are shown above. The brand fails to clearly publish ingredient doses on their website, which is the sign of a low-quality brand.

Some of the ingredients in this supplement have been clinically shown to cause weight loss.

Resveratrol was shown in a medical review published in the Nutrients journal to cause weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.

EGCG is the main chemical compound in green tea, which was shown to cause 2.53 pounds of weight loss over 12 weeks in a 2016 clinical trial.

Fucoxanthin was shown in one clinical trial to cause weight loss, as we documented in our review of Meticore, which is another weight loss supplement containing this ingredient.

There are no other ingredients in this formulation that we consider effective for weight loss based on our review of existing clinical research.

The brand’s website also fails to clearly publish a Supplement Facts label, so we’re unsure if there are inactive ingredients like flavoring agents and fillers. This is another sign of a low-quality brand.

Based on this formulation, we consider Ikaria Lean Belly Juice to be potentially effective for weight loss, but we don't recommend it due to our questions and concerns over ingredient doses.

Why to Avoid ClickBank Products

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice is sold on an affiliate platform called ClickBank which allows marketers and other entities to promote it with essentially no pre-approval.

This creates an incentive structure for people without relevant medical or scientific credentials to make specific health claims about supplements, which we believe is a risky situation.

As we discussed in our Java Burn reviews article on another ClickBank product, we consider it to be a sign of a low-quality brand to market on ClickBank, as we haven’t come across one single ClickBank supplement that we would recommend in our hundreds of Illuminate Health reviews.

As a consumer, one way to quickly check if a product is sold on or by ClickBank is to check the footer of the product’s website for a disclaimer.

A TikTok user named Kevin Schattovits shows how easy it is below to start promoting health products on ClickBank:

Is the Amazon Version Fake?

While we don’t recommend Ikaria Lean Belly Juice, for those intent on purchasing it, we would recommend doing so on the brand’s website or one of the official distributor websites.

The supplement sold under the “Ikaria” name on Amazon (and Walmart) does not appear to be the same supplement or have the same ingredients, as shown by its Supplement Facts label below:

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Amazon ingredients

There's likely an increased risk of harm when purchasing "knock-off" supplements, because it's a sign of a low-quality brand to try to profit off another brand's trade name.

We don’t want to link to any retailers of Ikaria Lean Belly Juice to support their business, but as a consumer if you’re looking for the official product, the best way to find it is to search “Ikaria Lean Belly Juice” into Google and click on one of the top sponsored links.

Real People Try Ikaria Lean Belly Juice

A TikTok user named “OnlineOps4” reviewed Ikaria Lean Belly Juice and claims it caused weight loss.

It’s worth noting that they have a purchase link in their video, which suggests a potential bias:

A TikTok creator named Jason claims that Ikaria Lean Belly Juice didn't work for him:

Will Ikaria Lean Belly Juice Cause Side Effects?

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice doesn’t appear to have been studied in any clinical trials, which makes it challenging to say for certain whether or not the supplement will cause side effects.

However, we can make an educated guess based on its ingredients.

EGCG can cause side effects at high doses.

At a dose of 600 milligrams (mg) or above daily, EGCG can cause liver damage according to a medical review published in the Toxicology Letters journal.

This is why it’s so unacceptable for supplement manufacturers to fail to clearly publish ingredient doses.

Overall, we're unsure about the risk of side effects, due to the lack of clear ingredient dose disclosures.

The manufacturer’s website mentions that there are no side effects.

Conclusion

We do not currently recommend Ikaria Lean Belly Juice.

While the supplement does contain a few research-backed ingredients for weight loss, the doses of these ingredients are not clearly published on the brand’s homepage or product page, which makes it very challenging to assess the potential efficacy and safety of the formulation.

We advise consumers to be extremely wary of purchasing from supplement brands that fail to clearly publish ingredient doses, as this is the sign of a low-quality brand.

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice is promoted on ClickBank, which is a large affiliate platform that allows users to easily sign up and promote health products without necessarily having any relevant health credentials.

Ikaria Lean Belly Juice is not likely to cause side effects in healthy adults in our opinion, but the product has not been studied in any clinical trials, so any presumptions about its safety are just educated guesses at this stage.

While we don’t recommend this supplement, for consumers intent on purchasing it, we recommend doing so on one of the official distributor websites, because the Amazon listing appears to be a “knock-off” and has different ingredients than the ClickBank product.
