In addition to the clinical trial mentioned above, Dr. Schilling and his team cite scientific evidence linking the active ingredients to weight loss results. We’ll evaluate the science behind AquaSculpt below to see if you can really lose 27.8 lbs, on average, within weeks as indicated in the clinical trial above.
First, Dr. Schilling and his team cite multiple studies linking ordinary ice water to greater weight loss results. Those studies include:
One study involved 173 women between ages 25 and 50. All women took a glass of ice water daily. Women had lower body fat and greater weight loss after drinking ice water.
As PBS explains, some take ice baths daily to boost metabolism and immune function. PBS cites one study where cold water immersion activated brown fat, helping to boost energy burning. Brown fat contains more mitochondria than white fat and is linked to greater energy expenditure. The more calories your body burns per day, the easier it is to lose weight.
A separate study from 2023 found intermittent cold exposure could impact adipose (fat) tissue. Researchers found that frequently exposing tissues to cold, combined with controlled calorie intake, could significantly reduce body weight.
Dr. Schilling personally selected the ingredients in AquaSculpt to complement ice water and accelerate weight loss results.
The most significant ingredient in AquaSculpt, alpha lipoic acid, has been linked to weight loss in multiple trials. In a 2018 meta-analysis, researchers found alpha lipoic acid could lead to 1.27kg greater mean weight loss than placebo. That’s a significant difference from the 27.8 lbs of average weight loss within “weeks” advertised on the official AquaSculpt website.
