I'm guessing they don't, so I will give a rundown.

It's basically a bunch of herbal crap that will do nothing mixed with some big name herbal supplements that do nothing. The three main ingredients are:

Chromium - There is not a single independent study that shows this aids in weight loss at all. In fact, a study found that Chromium can cause DNA breakage and mutations that can cause cancer in humans.

Hoodia - Again, no INDEPENDENT study has shown this works as an appetite suppresant. The only studies that have been done are backed by the supplement companies. It got some press and people went apeshit over it. Even if it did work as an appetite suppresent, there is such small amounts of it in Zylene that it wouldn't have any affect at all. When the Hoodia boom hit, the cost of getting it wholesale rose by 20x. Supplement companies just lower the amount they put in their pills.

Green Tea - Some health benefits and does work as an antioxidant. But you can buy a bottle of this at any vitamin shop or grocery store for under $10. You'll get 150 pills that have 2-3 times the dose you'll find in Zylene. Or you could just drink a cup of green tea also. The shit is dirt cheap.


It's just an MLM scam. I don't know you RogerV but do have respect for you and your business sense. I'm just surprised you'd buy into an MLM scam like this. The product has been out for awhile and is laughed at by anyone with above average nutritional knowledge. Sure some blog spamming and forum spamming by the army of MLMers they have will grab a few sales from low hanging fruit, but this product is complete bullshit and will do absolutely nothing.

**This comes from someone with a lot of knowledge in this field.
