Conclusion of Our GNC Total Lean Phase 2 Carb Controller Review
In concluding our review of GNC Total Lean, we found several positive features of this product. This product contains a correctly dosed formula of the beneficial ingredient, White Kidney Bean Extract. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee and includes both unused and even used bottles of capsules. There is a discount offer when you buy 2, you get 1 free. There is free shipping on orders over $49. There is also a 10% discount if you subscribe to a recurring shipment that includes free shipping. We felt that the product was let down in several key areas however. The product lacks several beneficial ingredients such as Chitosan and Chromium. We were concerned by the fact that the formula contains the inactive ingredient Titanium Dioxide which is known to be potentially carcinogenic. The capsules contain gelatin and are therefore unsuitable for vegans and vegetarians. The guarantee is only 30 days long which is too short to provide consumer confidence in the product. There is no assurance from the manufacturer that the ingredients in the capsules are non GMO, free from fillers or binders, or artificial preservatives. There are only 9 reviews for this product on Amazon, and many of those are negative. For these reasons, we cannot recommend GNC Total Lean Phase 2 Carb Controller as a weight loss supplement.
