T-Lean is a weight loss supplement marketed and manufactured by NOW Foods. It is designed so that it will be free of sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives. This makes it suitable for vegans, vegetarians, those who suffer from celiac disease, and anyone with extensive allergies.

Although we applaud NOW Foods for making such a clean product, we can’t help but wonder if it can really help you lose any weight. With such a short ingredient list, it is hard to include a lot of components that are key to raising your metabolism and helping you burn more calories. Nevertheless, NOW Foods claims that T-Lean can help “support healthy metabolic rate and weight management in those eating a well-balanced diet and getting the proper amount of exercise.”

How Does It Do It?

T-Lean relies mainly upon the powers of green tea extract to stimulate your metabolism. Even though there have been many studies done on the weight loss powers of green tea, they have only been successful when using the caffeinated form. Not surprisingly, NOW Foods chooses to use the gentler, caffeine-free form of green tea, virtually stripping the ingredient of its weight loss capabilities.

Not only does green tea need to be in its caffeinated form to help you lose weight, but it also needs to be paired with other ingredients to ensure that you’re burning enough calories to see any noticeable differences in your body composition.

One thing that you can be sure of with T-Lean is that you won’t get any harmful side effects. This is mainly due to the fact that you won’t really see any results at all—good or bad—with T-Lean.

Any Other Concerns?

Although it’s relatively cheap, no supplement is worth any amount of money if you’re not going to see any improvement.
