Does PGX Daily Really Work?
PGX Daily is a weight loss supplement that contains a fiber called “PolyGlycopleX, a unique combination of water soluble polysaccharides (plant fibers) that can help you change your life. Used before or with a meal, PGX absorbs many times its weight in water within the digestive system. This action helps you to reduce meal portion size while still feeling satisfied.” The question is will PGX Daily help you lose weight?
PGX Concerns
PGX Daily’s “unique fiber” seems to be really similar to Glucomannan. A natural fiber that expands up to 50 times its own weight and flushes fat deposits from the colon. Glucomannan is a good appetite suppressant and it only runs around $7 a bottle at your local health food store.
Another concern is that on the PGX website they list all these reasons why you might gain weight with PGX daily. Like fat weighs less than muscle, so you might gain weight at first or you might gain weight because of the extra water your drinking. These are just lame excuses. A good fat burning supplement will never make you gain weight.
PGX Daily Side Effects
PGX Daily does come with a list of side effects, such as “increased gas, bloating, loose stools and constipation.” Also PGX can interfere with absorption of medications.
How Much is PGX Daily?
PGX Daily is around $30.00 for 120 capsules. This is very expensive for a fiber supplement and this amount won’t even last a month. Also, PGX Daily does not come with a money back guarantee.
PGX Daily Conlcusion
PGX Daily is not going to aid in weight loss because it doesn’t contain any fat burning ingredients. PGX Daily may be a good fiber supplement, but when you take into consideration that most fiber supplements have to be taken for life PGX Daily is way too overpriced.

You conclusion that PGX Daily is not going to aid in weight loss because it doesn’t contain any fat burning ingredients is not based on any real evidence. PGX is proven to reduce the glycemic index of meals. Controlling sugar is more important to some people than buring fat!
I agree, only people with glucose problems can really tell what a great difference it makes taking PGX suppliment.
i love it my appetite is 75% less my food choices are better without the blood sugar roller coaster ride
True, true, true… on all accounts. For once, I found a product that delivers what it promises. There is no easy way to stave off unwanted weight, but with PGX, it helps control the “munchies attack” without starving or craving or other side effects.
I am on my third bottle of PGX Daily.
Normally I cannot adhere to a diet at all whatsoever.
These pills completely KILL your appetite, making it sooo easy to watch what you are eating and not be obsessed when the next meal is coming. I am not weighing myself yet because I dont want to be disappointed. This has to work.
I bought this product, so I could lower my cholestrol it has lowered it to safe levels and it does curb your appetite or mine al least Im on my 4 bottle I take one at every meal have been taking it for 8 months now.
I have been on PGX Daily since November, 09 and although I haven’t lost any weight I do agree with Pauline that these pills do control the “munchies attack” . It was not very long ago that I would crave chocolate, dark chocolate, chocolate cake, cookies, ice cream, whatever but not since taking PGX Daily. It’s amazing that way !!! However, I wish I could lose some weight. I am presently 165 lbs., 5’6 and would love to get down to 145 lbs. I walk to and from work and am on the treadmill 3x a week. If anyone can offer any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Could anyone tell me if they take the pill dosage before small snacks during the day or just before a full meal wich would be breakfast, lunch & dinner. Thanks, Diane
Once I started getting used to the pills, I started taking them before snacks as well, because it made the snack sufficient to curb my hunger. I was eating sensibly (3 small meals, 2 snacks, 1 dessert) and exercising almost daily. I slimmed down quite a bit with all these components. It may not be the magical cure but it worked for me. I read the book, but it was for information purposes only, I never followed the diet recommended within.
If you really want to loose weight and lower all levels go on a vegan diet, eating nothing made from animal fat. It actually works really well and you can buy a lot of vegan food at the grocery store and it tastes pretty good actually.
You may want to have an IGG food alergy test done to determine if you have any intestinal food allergies. I was in the same boat as you, just couldnt shake the extra 15 lbs off of me no matter how little I ate and how hard I worked out.
I had never even considered food allergies untill my new doctor who practices Functional Medicine suggested that I have the test done. It turns out I have 15 food sensitivities that were causing intestinal inflamation. The inflamation resulted in a toxic reaction to certian foods that made my body retain water and bloat. As soon as I eliminated the 15 foods I was able to drop 12 lbs in 6 weeks, and eventually about 16 lbs total just by avoiding the foods that irritated my gut.
I took the Immuno Labs test but there are others out there too like NeuroScience. It usually costs between $250 – $600. Hope that helps.
Response to the person saying doing exercise, watching food amount and taking this pill and no results when getting on the scale.
Two things come to mind: Check your thyroid – you may be deficient, you just spelled out my symptoms and thyroid disease is genetic in my family, some are skin and bones and some never lost weight.
Second: Are you eating hidden calories? Are you eating too little?
Both give you the same result: weight doesn’t change. But if you look nice in your clothes, no bulges here and there, you may be close to your real weight, not one imagined by someone who divided some bad math. If you don’t catch colds, flu, can run and bike and party, does it make any difference if your dress is size 7 or if it’s 9? What does make a big difference is that your inmune system is strong and that is what has value. Treat yourself to some nice clothes which don’t wrinkle in the wrong places and enjoy. And keep exercising, it’s the cheapest and best medicine.
I started taking PGX daily a week ago and I have lost 10 lbs. I take 2 before meals. I weighed 172 lbs., normally I weigh 155 due to medications I take. My weight before I started taking medications was 145 and I am 5’8 so I am hoping to get to at least 150 lbs. At this rate I think it is achievable with an exercise program.
I also started it because my tryclicerides were high and I have to go for a test next week so we will see if it has made any difference!
I am a type 2 diabetic and pgx daily is being touted as a good way to lower your blood sugar levels almost immediately . Once i started to see what people thought of it i came to the conclusion that this is primarily a fiber pill (not what the health food stores tell you)and there is much cheaper ways of getting a high amount of fiber. I am really getting POed at all these quick fixes out there when i know there are good organic treatments that work but these big companies make these very hard to find. I need to find a good honest herbalist who will give me honest answers.
I love my PGX! I have always had problems with constipation (all my life and this stuff makes me feel like a normal person. Also I have lost 13 pounds.I have the one that has mulberry also in it . I have been Exercising also.I also hope to continue on the weight loss. It really does cut cravings down.
I have just started PGX daily (2 days ago). I am experiencing a bit of gaz and bloating but it is minor. I will keep you up to date on my progress.
I currently weigh 175 pound 5’6”. I need to lose 15 to 20 pounds to be at my health weight. I will stick to pgx for at least 2 months. I think by then I will have had results.
Hoping for the best.
I started PGX Daily 3 days ago. I’m taking 2 pills before meals. No weight loss yet, but things are sure moving and the cravings are less.
Started out with slimfast and then changed to slimstyle shakes (PGX is in the shake) 3 weeks ago and have lost 6 lbs. It regulates my blood sugar swings and is a much easier way to loose weight…but I do not want to stay on something that may down the road do me harm…so I will be seeing my GP and have a hypoglycemic test and then have a dietation set me up with a blood sugar stable healthy diet plan.
Anyone else tried the slimstyle shakes? please tell me what you think?
Took my first PGX pill yesterday. Made me nauseous. Hope to be able to return the bottle.
It’s not a fat burner. It’s for slowing the transit of foods from the stomach to the Duodenum, effectively lowering the glycemic index of the food consumed.
