Difference Between Metabolife & Metabolite

Health Seakers features a Denver Rocky Mountains news article noting that both MetaboLife and Metabolite are weight-loss products, but their ingredients set them apart. Metabolite's key ingredient is hydroxycitric acid, used as an appetite suppressant. MetaboLife once featured the controversial ephedra but now utilizes less controversial ingredients for a more complex line of customizable supplements. The line targets weight management through optimizing overall body health and metabolism.

Metabolite

• Metabolite dietary supplements claim to help manage weight by managing the thyroid.

  Listed as a dietary supplement pill by Diet Supplements, Metabolite is also referred to by Ageless Way as ShapeRite MetaboLite. Originally thought to contain the controversial ingredient ephedra, Metabolite has been retooled to include more natural ingredients for overall nutrition, thyroid support and digestive health. Metabolite is marketed as a weight-loss aid that optimizes body nutrition to optimize weight-loss.

MetaboLife

• MetaboLife's AquaSlim is a weight-loss beverage that the consumer drinks prior to eat of the three large meals of the day.

  MetaboLife is a two-step program, according to the company's marketing materials, that is intended for weight management. The MetaboLife program includes five caplet supplement products and a beverage supplement. Although the program encourages the use of a multivitamin for proper dietary nutrition and suggests regular exercise and basic healthy eating habits, the program does not specifically outline a meal plan or exercise program.

Key Difference

• Both Metabolite and MetaboLife feature dietary supplements that are not as strictly regulated by the FDA as food and drugs.

  Fat Loss Pro points out that the Metabolite diet pill is a singular product targeting weight-loss through appetite suppression. MetaboLife, however, is marketed as a more customizable program that helps the consumer pinpoint their specific weight-loss needs and choose a supplement product that addresses their unique problems. In addition, the variety of MetaboLife weight-loss products give customers options for changing products as their weight-loss changes occur.
