Update 6/4/22. ProVen weight loss pills by NutraVesta are said to be a simple 7-second hack that can switch your body into a fat-burning machine overnight. In a Youtube video, the supplement is said to be the most powerful natural detoxifier in the world that targets the root causes of excess fat. In this unbiased ProVen review, you'll discover the ingredients and research for this weight loss supplement. Does it legitimately work or is it just a scam? Here is the evidence. You decide.
What Does ProVen Mean
The name of this supplement gives the impression the supplement is proven to work? It's a genius, eye-catching name and right up there with the It Works supplement brand.
ProVen YouTube Video
There is a video on the supplement's website. It's over 1 hour long. The video begins with a screaming woman falling down steps, which is VERY disturbing and loud if you have your speaker volume turned up. Here is the video.
The person speaking in the video is not named but tells the story of how he started searching for a cure for his wife's obesity and how he discovered the answer. The answer was found in a monastery in Tibet. It was said the monks in Tibet drank a tea that warded off all disease. Since the tea tasted bad, it was used to make the ProVen pills.
How's It Supposed To Work?
Despite the claim to make you a fat-burning machine, this is not a fat burner supplement. It's also not an appetite suppressant. In the ProVen video, the person speaking describes how obesity, is supposed to be caused by toxins like Bisphenol A (BPA), found in plastics, which disrupts hunger hormones, like ghrelin and leptin causing us to gain weight. They call these toxic chemicals Obesogens. The ingredients in ProVen are supposed to flush the obesogen toxins from the body.
ProVen Clinical Research
On the GetProVen.net website, the company mentions a study they conducted that involved 62 people with different levels of obesity. They said the average weight lost by a person using the supplement was 55 pounds. They further state 95% of people lost over 60 pounds. It looks like it took about 3-6 months to achieve this weight loss.
The study sounds impressive. However, the company does not tell us where the study is published. Is the study published in a medical journal? If it is, the study cannot be located. If the study is not published in a medical journal so it can be scrutinized by other researchers, then it carries less importance.
ProVen Weight Loss Ingredients
ProVen has some vitamins, minerals, and a proprietary blend. Let's look at them:
Two capsules of NuraVesta ProVen have the following vitamins and minerals:
- Vitamin C 30 mg (33% daily value )
- Vitamin E 20 mg (30 IU) (133% daily value )
- Selenium 20 micrograms (36% daily value)
These vitamins and minerals have no weight loss effects.
NutraVesta ProVen Proprietary Blend
Two capsules also contain 1512 mg of the following ingredients:
- Graviola leaf
- Red raspberry
- Green tea
- Beta-glucan
- Turmeric
- Pine bark
- Essiac tea complex
- Grapeseed
- Mushroom complex
- Quercetin dihydrate
- Pomegranate
- Olive Leaf
- Arabinogalactan
- Cats Claw
- Garlic
- Panax ginseng
- Lycopene
Other ingredients
Other ingredients listed are gelatin, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and microcrystalline celluloses. None of these ingredients plays a part in how effective the supplement is.
Ingredient Weight Loss Evidence
ProVen has 17 ingredients in its proprietary blend. Here is a summary of the weight loss proof for some of the ingredients.
Graviola Leaf
In a study where researchers gave Graviola to mice, they noted it might help the mice lose weight. But to do this, it took a lot. For example, if you weighed 200 pounds, the dosage was over 5500 mg. That's more than ProVen contains. Some disturbing research links Graviola to Parkinsons' disease.
Red Raspberry
Like all foods, red raspberries contain hundreds of compounds. One of those compounds is raspberry ketones. Without more information, it is not possible to know why red raspberry is in ProVen. There is some research on raspberry ketones and weight loss but the evidence is weak.
Green Tea
Green tea has been studied to see if it helps people lose weight. Despite its popularity, the research is conflicting. Some studies say it may work and other research finds that green tea does not help weight loss. Green tea is a healthy drink -as is all tea – but nobody can say if it helps obesity or not. Because green tea has caffeine it may interfere with sleep if taken too close to bedtime.
Beta Glucan
Beta-glucan is a soluble fiber. Beta-glucan is found in many foods like oatmeal and mushrooms. Like all prebiotic fibers, beta-glucan helps feed our microbiome to help it stay healthy. Beta-glucan can help lower cholesterol too.
Some studies have noted beta-glucans may help weight loss. But, there are several questions unanswered. For example, do beta-glucans from oatmeal work the same way as beta-glucan from barley, mushrooms, or other foods.
Turmeric
In one study, researchers saw no evidence that either turmeric or curcumin reduced body weight in people. However, in a review of 11 previous studies, researchers noted curcumin helps weight loss if you used a lot of it (about 1000 mg). The weight loss however was only around 2 pounds. Turmeric is a great spice but there's not enough proof it helps weight loss.
Arabinogalactan
Arabinogalactan is a type of fiber that comes from Larch trees and some foods too. Arabinogalactan food sources include carrots, leek seeks, pears, radishes tomatoes, corn, and wheat. Because it's a prebiotic fiber, our microbiome can use arabinogalactan to stay healthy. Some studies have found arabinogalactan can bolster the immune system, making us less likely to get colds and the flu.
In theory, arabinogalactan might work in synergy with quercetin which ProVen also contains. This needs to be confirmed. So can arabinogalactan you lose weight? There's no human proof either way. Researchers need to do human clinical studies to know for sure.
Does It Boost Immunity?
So the supplement has some vitamin C. That might help if you are deficient in this vitamin. It's possible some of the other ingredients may have immune modulation effects. But does that mean you won't get the flu? Nobody can say for sure. Keep in mind the ProVen supplement seems to have no clinical research to prove it enhances the immune system or reduces the odds of you getting sick.

ProVen FAQ
Is It Made in America
The supplemented video says ProVen is made in the US in a lab that follows good manufacturing practices (GMPs). That's good. Another question to ask is do the ingredients used to make ProVen come from America?
Is it sold in stores?
The supplement is not found at Walmart, CVS, Costco, Walgreens, GNC, or Vitamin Shoppe. The only way to purchase the supplement is by ordering it through its website which redirects you to Clickbank, which is an online retailer.
Is it a laxative?
While there is some fiber, this is not a laxative supplement. It has no senna either and should not increase the urge to defecate. That said, take less for the first week than is recommended to see how you react.
Should you beware of counterfeit supplements?
Do you need to avoid getting scammed by counterfeit ProVen pills? Some say you do. But, is this supplement really being counterfeited? Or is this a ploy to get you to think the supplement is more popular?
ProVen Side Effects
There are no known side effects when taking the ProVen supplement itself. That said, here are some things to consider. This list is not complete:
- Start with less than recommended for the first week
- Not intended for people younger than 18
- If you have heart disease or blood pressure issues, speak to your doctor
- Ask your doctor if you take any medications. This includes blood thinners like Coumadin (warfarin).
- Some ingredients may lower blood sugar and be an issue for diabetes
- If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor. Don't take weight loss supplements if pregnant.
- Stop taking at least 2 weeks before surgery
- Don't take it before bed. Green tea may have caffeine.
- The supplement contains soy. Caution if allergic to soy.
- Arabinogalactan may stimulate the immune system. This may be a concern for people with autoimmune disorders.
- Graviola is linked to Parkinson's disease. This has not been shown to occur with supplements.
What Do I Suggest?
Most weight loss supplements lack proof they work. One supplement that does have some evidence is called glucomannan. Glucomannan, also called konjac root extract, is a type of fiber. The fiber swells in the stomach making you feel full. If you feel full, you are less likely to eat.
There's enough obesity research on this supplement to make me believe konjac fiber may help some people lose weight. Another plus is konjac fiber is NOT expensive. It comes in both capsules and a powder that you can add to smoothies. I prefer powdered fiber.
ProVen Pills Pro & Con
Here is a quick rundown on ProVen weight loss supplement. These are my opinions. Your opinions may be different.
| Pro | Con |
| Easy to swallow | Expensive |
| Easy to order | Company information is lacking |
| Produced in America | No company contact phone number |
| No published clinical research on the supplement | |
| The 60-day money-back guarantee starts when you receive the supplement. Not when you order it. |
Does ProVen By NutraVesta Work?
So does this supplement make you a fat-burning machine and allow you to drop up to 50 pounds of body weight? Despite the many online testimonials, no clinical studies on this supplement could be located. None of the ingredients by themselves seem to have any conclusive weight loss evidence. Given the cost of this supplement, I'd like to see proof first.
This is what I suggest trying instead
