Big claims that they really help lose stubborn fat when incorporated into a good diet. Is it a gimmick or are these worth investing in? Your thoughts?

Complete piece of shit. If you want good advice about supplements or pretty much anything. It is that if something sounds too good to be true it is. In this case (and with other similar products) if it has multiple claims surrounding it that should be the first red flag. Learned all about it in a functional foods and neutraceuticals course. This product is a total waste of money, you get the same benefits from chewable vitamin C's or any cheap regular juice like OJ (cause that is almost exclusively how it is sold, as juice).

In Brazil it is very popular because we have the fruit, sometimes the frozen fruit but we basically make a really thick milk shake and add granola and that is a full meal.

If you are able to get the fruit (frozen or not) it is a great addition to your diet, don't waste your money if it is some juice

GIMMICK!!!!
good for you? : yes
buy this is just new hype its usually over priced over hyped! not worth it 99% of the time.

the juic it GREAT i love it.
i would buy it as a drink kinda like a smoothy but not to think ihhh im gonna cut up.

take green tea, its cheaper and will help with fatloss . (but really its all diet)

i looked into repping some shit after someone tried to pull me into the pyramid scheme they use to market this shit. they sell it for the price of good wine pretty much , and far as i culd tell the only way to get the great anti oxidant effects werre through fresh fruit ,

blue berries are a better bet, andf cranberries and some other crap , but **** that overpriced snake oil
