The Science Behind Lowat
Lowat is a patented proprietary blend of two Asian herbs which are claimed to have significant weight loss effects. Each of these herbs has a long history of use in India, Indonesia and neighboring areas, but only recently has there been done any significant research in the west on their effect. At the moment, we have only been able to find one actually – the one done by the company that sells Lowat. Big surprise.
The ingredient which we have the most information on – Piper betle leaf – has long been chewed by the peoples of India and southeast Asia for its stimulant effects. It is also known to counteract bad smells and is apparently used to reduce vaginal discharge. Not everyone’s favorite thing to think about, but hey, it works apparently. The main basis for potential weight loss seems to boil down to the stimulant effect, which increases basal metabolic rate.
Dolichos biflorus, an extract of a kind of Indian bean called horse gram, is a little more obscure. To be honest, there just isn’t any clear application with this ingredient to weight loss and even any medicinal use at all is doubtful, though it is currently being researched.
Lowat Side Effects
No adverse side effects are reported by the company, though with a significant stimulant effect known for piper betel leaf, it may cause some restlessness for those sensitive to stimulants. Betel, at least when chewed, is also known to be a potential cancer risk factor.
Lowat Policies
InterHealth, the company that is developing Lowat, is primarily a supplier of base ingredients for other products. It has a number of reputable products associated with it, though at this point we do not know what the return or satisfaction guarantee policies will be for Lowat.
Lowat Lowest Price
Lowat has not yet been incorporated into a formal weight-loss formula. Given development costs, it may be fairly pricey, but we have yet to see.
Does Lowat Work?
As mentioned, the company that sells Lowat has one “clinical” study done on the effects of Lowat use. Their “randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, eight-week study” had fifty participants that took 900 mg of Lowat or placebo per day for 8 weeks. At the same time, they were following a reduced calorie diet and exercising 30 minutes per day. Those taking Lowat saw weight loss of 9.4 lbs average as compared to 3.9 pounds for placebo. These are impressive results, though it is only just one study. It should be noted that similar results can be seen from studies done on pure caffeine use. Even so, we are hopeful about Lowat and look forward to seeing what the final product looks like when its on the market.
