It’s called NV (as in envy) and is proudly advertised as the "First Rapid Weight-Loss Beauty Pill", a weight-loss cum beauty Pill? Is it really possible? Model cum singer Carmen Electra has been signed on for this product, surely it must work, or does it not?

"NV™’s unique three complex formula is a simple way to enhance a woman’s figure, radiate beauty and increase energy," said Electra. "I can identify with a woman’s desire to make her outer appearance match her inner glow, which is why my secret to maintaining my looks, energy and confidence is NV™.

Let’s not look at the beauty aspects of this product since this is a weight loss site.

There are 3 main ingredients labeled in the weight – loss complex section. There are mainly Green Tea extracts, Theobromine and Hoodia Gordonii. You would be paying $26.99 for all
these ingredients + some energy and beauty enhancing substances.

Green Tea
In a American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study, it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in metabolism , plus a significant effect on weight loss. While weight loss was originally thought to be due to the caffeine in green tea , the researchers discovered that green tea actually has properties that go beyond those that would be explained by the caffeine.

Why Green Tea Extract Found In NV Is Not Worth The $

3-5 cups of green tea a day will roughly help you burn 70 extra calories a day, and that is quite a high dosage for some people, so yes, you may be better off taking green tea extract pills. An average bottle of green tea extract pills can cost you around $5-10. Each bottle could last you
anywhere from 1-2months. Each dosage pill on average has 200-300mg of green tea extracts. What do you get from NV? A grand total mixture of Green Tea Extracts, Hoodia Gordonii and Theobromine at 267mg.

Hoodia Gordonii
Hoodia Gordonii is a natural plant found in the Kalahari dessert of South Africa which makes it hard to find a product that has 100 percent pure Hoodia Gordonii. When you do find one that has pure Hoodia Gordonii in it you are almost guaranteed to lose weight if used properly. But if it is not Pure Hoodia
Gordonii, the are labeled as FAKE Hoodia GorDonii . We don’t know what NV is using, but if it’s fake, you’re simply WASTING YOUR MONEY.

Theobromine
Theobromine has a thermogenic, calorie-burning effect which increases your metabolism.

How Does It Work?
Theobromin is a stimulant that effectively increases your metabolism. When there is an increase in metabolism, you will burn more calories which will help you with your sleep. But wait, any substance which will affect your metabolism on a daily basis will have side effects and you
will potentially become over dependant on it.

Is Theobromin effective for a weight-loss diet ?
Theobromine is very closely related to caffeine but it lacks caffeine’s stimulants effect on the central nervous system. However, if taken in high amounts it can have side effects like tremors, sleeplessness and might also cause you to feel anxious . NV does not state the amount of theobromine on the label and that is an issue. If they’re giving you too little, you’re paying too much, if they’re giving you too much, you may potentially experience the side effects of theobromin.

To prove my point that Theobromin is just ‘for show’, researchers have found that theobromine administered in a dose of 500 mg (the amount of theobromine in approximately 11 oz of milk chocolate consumed in one sitting) did not increase pulse rate significantly. This means, even at 500mg, it will not increase your metabolic rate and the total amount of weight-loss complex
found in NV is 267mg. Hmm?

Conclusion
NV is just another over hyped product for its weight loss effects. All you need to do to save $29.99 is to drink 2 cups of Green Tea a day, take some dark chocolates.
