Walking the Walk - The Verdict

Crave-NX surprised me. I honestly expected it not to work, at best, or at worst, to not like using it. But it did manage to take the edge off my between-meal cravings, and it wasn't an unpleasant experience after all. Here's what I liked about Crave-NX:

  • It comes in a small bottle that's perfect for sticking in a purse or pocket.
  • It's relatively inexpensive, at $7.77 per bottle.
  • It's got a decent flavor and is easy to use.
  • It's works fairly quickly.
I'm a notorious sugar addict, but if you've ever given up processed carbs or sweets, you know that after the first three or four days, it gets a lot easier. I can see Crave-NX being a crutch during that "detox" period, until the cravings get easier to handle.

Obviously, if you're going to try Crave-NX, it's a use-at-your-own-risk kind of situation. And that, perhaps, is the biggest negative I could find about the product. Their website is curiously free of information about how Crave-NX really works or even an ingredients list. A friend suggested to me that maybe Crave-NX works because I think it's supposed to. I hadn't considered that, but the placebo effect could be a factor here.

I'm very cautious about using products when I don't know what's in them or what they might do to me when I take them, so if I was simply a consumer who stumbled across the Crave-NX website, I probably wouldn't buy it because of that lack of information. When I emailed the company to ask for more information, they did send along an ingredients list, as well as a small study, but I still got no clear information on how Crave-NX works in the body to prevent hunger and product is not FDA approved.
