How does it work?
Solidax is effective in helping people to lose weight. The effect of the active ingredients used in Solidax have not been proven despite strong claims made by the manufatcurer.
Two small controlled laboratory weight loss studies, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that it was ephedra free and the effect of the active incredients was thermogenic and resting metabolic rate did increase. No conclusive claims, for or against the Solidax weight loss pill, can be made.
