Waterex
GNC Total Lean
Overview
Waterex contains a blend of ingredients commonly associated with diuretic effects. While some individual botanicals like Uva Ursi, Horsetail, and Juniper Berries have traditional uses and some mechanistic evidence for promoting fluid excretion, the specific amounts within the proprietary blend (50mg total for the majority of botanicals) are likely underdosed for many of the individual components to exert significant effects. The presence of Vitamin B6 (25mg) may contribute to fluid balance, but the overall effectiveness for substantial water loss is questionable due to the proprietary blend and potentially low individual ingredient doses.
The Good
Contains a variety of traditional botanical diuretics.
Includes Vitamin B6 which can support fluid balance.
Magnesium is included to help maintain electrolyte balance, although at a low dose.
The Bad
Proprietary blend prevents verification of effective dosing for most botanical ingredients.
Many botanical ingredients are likely underdosed given the 50mg total for the blend.
Magnesium and Potassium are present in very low amounts, inadequate to fully compensate for potential losses from diuresis.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals looking to reduce temporary water retention, those preparing for physique competitions, or seeking a leaner look.
Skip If: You have kidney or heart conditions, are pregnant or nursing, or are on diuretic medications.
