Neither the specific Accelis formulation nor any of the active ingredients in Accelis have been shown to be effective for weight loss.
Accelis has never been studied. The Web site for Accelis provides information about a study that suggests corosolic acid (one of the active ingredients in Accelis) is effective for weight loss. However, the name of this study or where or when (or even if) it was published was not provided. A search of published studies did not reveal any study of corosolic acid for weight loss. Thus, it appears that this corosolic acid study was never published. Unless a study is published, it cannot be considered valid or reliable (because no one can critically evaluate it).
The advertising for Accelis relies heavily on the testimony of a resident physician (a physician still in training). It is important to note that this resident physician was remunerated (paid) for his testimony.
Final Thoughts on Accelis Effectiveness
There are no reliable studies showing that corosolic acid (or any of the other active ingredients in Accelis) is effective for weight loss. Adequate research confirming that Accelis is both safe and effective is necessary before this weight loss supplement can be recommended.
