PGX Daily Ultra Matrix Softgels Review
PGX Daily Review
PGX Daily is short for PolyGlycopleX – it is a natural daily diet supplement containing water-soluble, polysaccharides (fibres) from konjac root, sodium alginate and xanthan gum.
Webber Naturals, the manufacturer have a seemingly unlimited marketing budget at their disposal and have advertised PGX Daily heavily on the CTV television coverage throughout the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The official explanation as to how PGX Daily can support weight loss is a touch convoluted and confusing. The official PGX Daily website highlights how it can reduce the glycemic index of meals by up to 50%, partly by reducing the speed of digestion.
A simpler explanation would be to describe PGX Daily as an appetite suppressant. Appetite suppressants are incredibly effective at reducing daily calorie consumption. There is also mild fat burning ingredient included.
How Does PGX Work
The ingredients within PGX form a gelatinous mass when consumed that swell in the stomach causing the user to feel fuller quicker. This creates a sense of fullness and satiety that effectively controls appetite for several hours.
PGX Daily Positives
- Does suppress appetite
- Product from a trusted manufacturer
PGX Daily Negatives
- May cause initial bloating, gas and runny stools
- Expensive for a basic appetite suppressant
PGX Daily Side Effects
Should not cause any severe side effects if taken as recommended. Some mild or minor effects (as mentioned above) such as bloating, excess gas and loose stools.
Does PGX Daily Work
This product does suppress appetite but you will pay a premium for it. PGX is one of Canada’s most popular diet pills.
Where To Buy PGX Daily In Canada
Purchases can be made over the counter in authorized drug stores (such as PharmaPrix) as well as at a discounted rate via the following online stockists

Other Diet Pills To Consider
Its hard to ignore Phen375 the synthetic Phentermine alternative that has taken the concept of fat burning and suppressing appetite to another level.
When used in tandem and are formulated correctly these two philosophies work extremely well.
Phen375 is manufactured in an FDA approved laboratory and has been formulated using premium pharmaceutical grade ingredients.

PGX is an expensive load of rubbish

PGX from Natural Factors has worked wonders for me! It has assisted with my portion control, I simply couldn’t finish all the food on my plate when I staretd taking PGX before my meals. I’m also more “regular” thanks to PGX. As for weight loss – so far I have lost 12lbs over 2-1/2 months, it’s a slow and steady loss, which is better than nothing.

Well – In your opinion it is an expensive load of rubbish. But for someone like myself, I have had less cravings for sweets, and have managed to steadily (slowly) lose a bit of weight.

Worked wonders. Helped me lose 25 pounds. Hypoglycemic and it helped with my sugar control.

I had significant problems after starting the pill. Mostly my fault given that I am sure that I did not consume enough water while taking the pill. I was severely constipated for almost a month and barely passed anything…to the point of having to go to the doctor. I would be afraid to take it again.

Hoodia is by far a better option ….. its completely natural. All it does is suppress your appetite, there are no known side effects.
it has been used for years and clinically proven.

PGX is overpriced, and caused intestinal bloating for me. I tried Konjac Root supplements that are a quarter of the price of PGX, and it has done wonders for me as I have lost 15 pounds over the past three months without side effects, AND i am saving money!

My personal experience with PGX has been very positive!
I gained weight in my early 20s when my metabolism slowed down and I didn’t change my lifestyle. Despite lots of exercise and eating fairly well (lots of good stuff, maybe a bit too much bad stuff) I found that I still wasn’t losing anything (3 lbs in 2 months… ugh).
My boss swore by PGX so when I saw some at the store I thought I’d try them out, not really expecting anything.
I don’t weight myself other than that the doctor’s so I don’t know that I’ve lost any weight in the month that I’ve been taking them, but I can attest that they curb cravings really well.
I generally eat really well during the day but start to fail around 8 pm when I’m watching tv and get cravings for snack foods. With PGX, I don’t get those at all. I am actively not hungry. I still get mental cravings, more out of habit than anything, but I pause and think “oh, wait, I’m really not hungry” and then I don’t eat. No willpower involved. In fact, the thought of eating is actually offputting.
I take one with breakfast, two with lunch and three with dinner. I don’t take them on weekends and I skip taking them with meals that are very fibrous (e.g., if I eat beans and artichokes, I don’t need to take these pills).
I really recommend them. You probably won’t drop 50 lbs overnight, but if you crave sweet foods these will really help put a stop to that.
The downsides are that they are expensive, so don’t take the 6 per meal that it says on the bottle. Also, they are big ass pills. They are easy enough to swallow but it’s a bit scary at first.
I didn’t experience any of the negative side effects but I eat a lot of fiber and drink a lot of water (even before I started taking PGX) so that probably helped the transition.

loose stool big time, Shell would love the gas I got. I,m still on 4pills a day. Helps with glycemic index. Best price at Costco

I’d recommend Phen375 – been taking for a good few months. I feel energized and in the best shape I have been in for years.

Two weeks of taking PGX. Started at one pill per meal, built up to 6 a day. Experiencing daily headaches, nausea, a lot of flatulence… These side effects are too much, for no gain. I recommend giving PGX a pass.

It works for me if I take it regularly, but only one pill before each meal. If I take more than that I would have to live in the bathroom.
It controls my appetite and helps loose weight, very slowly but steady.
I don’t mind the price. It is not that much when you only take 3 pills a day.

Done absolutely nothing for me – PGX Daily
January 25th, 2012 at 12:18 am
I have tried twice to take this – I really want it to work. I am hypoglycemic so cannot just skip meals. Each time I have tried, I get so bloated I have to stop. I will try the powder (vs the pill) – maybe it is the ingredient of the outside pill that is making me so bloated. If not, I will have to try another product.

It does not work and is expensive!! 6 pills every meal and im still starving! It did nothing for me at all!
