Bodybuliders often go through plateaus, long stretches where they can’t seem to add on more muscle or push out more strength. Often times this is due to not having proper caloric support to promote big gains. To address this problem Xero Limit is now offering Engorge. This supplement is the complete opposite of a diet pill. It’s designed to stimulate more intense hunger by manipulating the hypothalamus, accelerating gastric emptying, and increasing stomach volume. While bodybuilders do need to work up an appetite to get enough calories, is this the right way to solve the problem?

What is in Xero Limits Engorge?

Engorge approaches hunger stimulation in a few different ways. The first approach is through stimulating more Ghrelin, the hormone used to tell the hypothalamus while delaying CCK, the hormone that tells the brain your stomach is full. It does this through a proprietary compound called Grhopeptide. Its made from Prunus domestica and variant of fenugreek. We were able to find some research that fenugreek has been shown to increase hunger in male rats but we’ve able to find no clinical data on humans. Prunus domestica is gently laxative in nature. It might help with accelerating gastric emptying but it doesn’t seem well-suited for manipulating hormones.

The second approach Engorge takes is increasing hunger by helping the stomach expand. To help increase gastric volume, Engorge uses a blend of Zingiber Officinale roots, Foeniculum seed, and Glycyrrhiza Glabra root extracts. Zingiber Officinale is just a fancy name for ginger. Ginger has been shown to help calm the stomach but that doesn’t necessarily make it bigger. Foeniculum has been shown to increase appetite and help the digestive system more thoroughly convert fat into fatty acids but nothing we’ve found on it supports the claim of “gastric expansion”. Finally Engorge uses Glycyrrhiza Glabra. This a fancy name for licorice. It has been used to relieve upset stomach but we didn’t find anything to support stomach extension.

Final Conclusion

Most of Engorge’s ingredients are very common plants that have little application to the benefits this supplement wants to provide. Though it does have two or three ingredients that might help increase appetite somewhat, the results won’t be as radical as Engorge claims. We suggest saving yourself $30.00 by avoiding this product.
