VitaSmart Twiggy

VitaSmart Twiggy Review

VitaSmart Twiggy is an appetite suppressing weight loss drink made by and sold by VitaSmart in the Czech Republic. It has just two key ingredients – glucomannan and cinnamon, and the description on Amazon claims that ‘Twiggy® contains the most glucomannan (1500 mg) and the strongest cinnamon extract in one sachet’. Whether this is true or not, we do not know.

VitaSmart is a company based in the Czech Republic. They are a family run company, set up in 2015 by a couple named Christina and Tomos. According to their website, they began it after Christina researched diet and wellbeing whilst pregnant with their son. She wanted to improve her diet and immunity without spending lots of money on various pills and drinks. She was also concerned about the number of food supplements imported into the Czech Republic from other countries, which were rebranded and repackaged, so customers weren’t one hundred percent sure of what was in them.

They manufacture and sell the Twiggy drink in three different flavours – natural, citrus mix, and forest fruit, as well as a collagen supplement.

Does VitaSmart Twiggy Work?

It will work, because glucomannan is a fiber which absorbs water in the stomach, leaving you feeling fuller for longer. You’ll consume fewer calories, and in turn, will lose weight. Cinnamon is also known to have some positive effects on appetite suppressant and weight loss.

What Are The Ingredients of VitaSmart Twiggy?

These ingredients are per sachet of VitaSmart Twiggy.

• Glucomannan (1500 mg): This is an ingredient found in many weight loss supplements. It is extracted from the konjac root and is a natural dietary fiber. It is often added to food products, such as flour and pasta. It absorbs water really efficiently – a single capsule of the ingredient is able to turn a small glass of water into a gel, showing just how well it can work. Because it has a low-calorie content, you are not going to be increasing your calorie intake. It swells up in your stomach, making you feel full and preventing you from consuming additional calories. It also plays a role in delaying the emptying of the stomach, which keeps you feeling full for longer. It also feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut. Some studies on animals have shown that healthy bacteria converts glucomannan into short-chain fatty acids, which can help prevent you from gaining fat. This supplement contains a particularly high dosage of it, which shows the manufacturers confidence in it. However, it can cause some problems if care is not taken. It can cause some minor gastrointestinal problems such as bloating, wind, and diarrhea. If you suffer from diabetes, it is important to seek medical advice before taking this as it can lower blood sugar levels.
• Cinnamon (40 mg): Cinnamon is rich in manganese, iron, calcium and fiber. It has been used for thousands of years to cure diarrhea, indigestion and bloating. It lowers blood sugar levels along with bad cholesterol levels, while having no effect on the good cholesterol, making it beneficial for both heart and type 2 diabetes patients. The lowering of blood sugar levels and improvement in cholesterol ratios helps to reverse insulin resistance or pre-diabetes. It’s also sweet to taste, reducing sugar cravings for many people. Because it has a regulatory effect on blood sugar levels and simultaneously increases insulin levels in the body, it imitates the natural activity of insulin and increases the metabolism of glucose. Since high blood sugar levels can lead to increased storage of fat by the body, cinnamon helps prevent this increased storage of fat and enables you to lose weight. Cinnamon also delays the passing of food from the stomach into the intestine, making you feel satisfied for a longer time.
• Citric Acid
• Sweetener: Sucralose

Does VitaSmart Twiggy Have Any Side Effects?

None have been directly linked to this particular product. However, too much glucomannan can cause minor gastrointestinal problems such as bloating, wind, and diarrhea. If you suffer from diabetes, it is important to seek medical advice before taking this as it can lower blood sugar levels.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For VitaSmart Twiggy?

We were unable to find many reviews for the product, however, this may be because it is only sold in the Czech Republic and due to certain laws, many of the websites are inaccessible. There is just one review on Amazon, and this suggests that it works:

I am absolutely happy with this product. Great flavour! I reduced my weight and I keep it same and I don’t eat sweet anymore. I can 100% recommend.

Does VitaSmart Twiggy Offer a Money-Back Guarantee?

We cannot find any evidence that VitaSmart Twiggy offer a money-back guarantee or returns policy of any description. However, on the website, there is a rather lengthy description of how to make a complaint if your product is delivered damaged by PPL (their consignment company, it appears), which includes taking photos from various angles.

Where Can I Buy VitaSmart Twiggy?

Outside of the Czech Republic, it appears that VitaSmart Twiggy can only be purchased on Amazon, for £19.90. If you are a resident of the Czech Republic, you can buy it from the VitaSmart website or from certain pharmacies. They will also ship to Slovakia.
