Caution: caffeine overload; some scientific support for other ingredients,
I was interested in this product given the cachet of Bob Harper has, having appeared on Oprah many times.
But of course, I wanted to investigate the ingredients of this product, something I worry other people will not do.
This product basically has two blends in the same capsule, the “InVegorate Blend” and the “TrimSmart Blend.”
Starting by looking at the “InVegorate Blend,” I was first struck that if you took this as directed, you would be consuming 540 mg of caffeine per day! That is a lot! For one thing, it is more caffeine than the FDA recommends *anyone* consume in one day. Second, there should be a warning that pregnant women should not consume this for that reason. Third, people taking luvoxamine or levofloxacin should *never* consume this much caffeine as those drugs block the ability to metabolize caffeine, resulting in caffeine overdose. 540 mg is way too much caffeine for anyone, though. And imagine if you were already a coffee drinker and started taking this. You could get close to a caffeine overdose and not even be aware of why unless you read the label.
Next, pomegranate powder. There is some evidence showing a plethora of benefits from pomegranate because of its antioxidants, but these studies were done using juice. I don’t know about the effect of pomegranate powder. And I could find no research showing its relation to energy or weight loss.
Next is Goji berry powder. There’s very little evidence showing this exotic sounding fruit has benefits. And it is highly dangerous to take it in any concentrated form if you’re on warfarin. Companies love to tote exotic sounding fruits with little support for their efficacy, when low-bush blueberries and strawberries, though they sound less exciting, have sound research showing their antioxidant properties.
That rounds out the part of the product called “InVegorate Energy Blend.” I have no doubt the caffeine will give you more energy. Why the pomegranate and goji powder is considered part of that blend, I have no clue! No research shows they affect energy levels.
Onto the “TrimSmart Blend” component of these capsules. I first started by researching the individual ingredients and didn’t come up with much. But I decided to research them on PubMed, where I see some research has been done on this exact cocktail of ingredients, which apparently come from Islamic traditions. The ingredients were tested for safety and efficacy and were found to be both safe and effective in obese people.
Granted, I only found this *one* study. It refers to another product called Weighlevel, but as you can see that product contains the exact same ingredients as the “TrimSmart Blend” component of Bob Harper’s product. Rather than try to restate that study, you can see it here:
[...]
I would not use this product because I cannot find more research to support the safety of the ingredients. One study is not enough for me. Maybe there is more I am unaware of. But the caffeine would be a deal-breaker anyway.
Given the research on the “TrimSmart Blend” component and the fact that this will have people buzzing out of control in a caffeine high, I wouldn’t be surprised if people lost weight with this product, but it’s not for me. More research is needed, and the caffeine should not be present in this product.

|Would not recommend!!!,
I was very excited to try this product. I figured that a product of Bob Harper would work.
I started with the 7-day Cleanse and it made me really nauseous!!! I stopped after 2 days because I was just feeling miserable!!!!
I think started the Smart Success Starter Kit and went through the whole 7 days and didnt see any results. I exercised and eat a very healthy diet. I was expecting that it would make me feel energized but instead I felt very blah and barely had the motivation to workout.
Hope this helps…
