Resurge acts from two key angles, improvement in sleep quality, and regeneration of metabolism.

Sleep: The combination of magnesium and zinc in appropriate doses will help regulate production of precursors for good circadian rhythm, 5 HTTP helps regulate serotonin pathways connected to sleep and Melatonin will directly support sleep cycles. Good sleep is intrinsically linked to weight loss, with sleep deprivation being directly linked to failure to lose weight. There are numerous studies on this, some of which are shared on the Resurge site. Here's just one, from the journal of nutrients which shares a range of trials, one of which estimates that you are 33% more likely to lose weight just through achieving good quality sleep.

Metabolic Regeneration: Resurge contains several ingredients which focus on overall regeneration of good metabolic process during sleep time. There are multiple references in their promotional website, but here's a couple of references on two of its key metabolic ingredients.

Ashwaganda Root: This herb has been shown to significantly benefit body weight management, in particular in those under stress. (This would likely be the same person who might have sleep difficulties). This is through its impact on cortisol pathways and their impact on weight gain.

L Arginine: This supplement has been shown to regulate genes involved in the metabolism of fat and muscle. Once again providing this during the sleep cycle, when muscle repair is occurring will support its actions.

And all of the metabolic ingredients of Resurge have supporting evidence for improved well being and weight loss!

What should I expect?

Timescales vary, but (assuming this is something you struggle with in the first place) due to the melatonin in Resurge you would expect to experience some improvement in sleep duration and quality very early on. This would improve over time as the effects of 5 HTTP, magnesium and zinc gradually regulate your sleep cycles. This will have an impact on your wellbeing and mental clarity. As time goes by, you will likely experience improved weight loss, and also a shift from fat to muscle in your physique. This effect takes longer, but some of the ingredient studies observed this in 4-8 weeks, but to see optimal effects, the makers of Resurge recommend a 3 - 6 month timeframe, which on balance seems reasonable and is in line with what we see with other supplements.
Of course all of us are different, and while side effects are generally less problematic with natural supplements such as Resurge, they can never be ruled out. Side effects to any supplement can occur at any stage, but for the vast majority they will occur in the early days or weeks. If side effects occur discuss with your Doctor. If mild they may suggest you persevere until they settle, but for more severe or persistent side effects you should discontinue treatment and request a full refund (60 day money back guarantee)
Resurge also contains melatonin which most users will find highly beneficial, but the occasional person will experience morning grogginess. If this occurs discuss with your Doctor and consider returning Resurge for a full refund.

Pros and Cons

PROS
• An intelligent mix of sleep supporting supplements which is highly likely to improve both quality and duration of sleep.
• Strong supporting trial evidence for every ingredient of Resurge in weight loss management.
• Real world experience from users, demonstrating improved wellbeing and weight loss.
• 60 day money back guarantee backed by Clickbank (who you can contact directly if you wish to and they will ensure your refund is processed). You can request this at any time within the 60 day period even if you've opened the bottles.
CONS
• Variable timescale to experience weight loss.
• While the evidence suggests that most users will experience an improvement in well being and weight management, results may vary.
• Like any supplement side effects may occur. However, in the vast majority of cases, these should be apparent in the early days and the vendor offers a 60 day 'no argument' refund guarantee which is backed by clickbank.
• A potential for morning grogginess in some users due to melatonin component.

Cost? 

Resurge can be purchased for as little as $34 per month. (Prices vary dependent on size of order). Additional discounts on repeat orders may also be offered during purchase point. When considering the prices of just the individual components in Resurge for sleep support coupled with the added value of the weight loss supplements, this price on balance seems very fair.

While Resurge is generally well tolerated, there are some key mechanisms of action which mean that it may not be the perfect choice for everyone. 

Drug Interactions (Esp Antidepressants): The ingredients in resurge may interact with some prescription  and OTC medicines, so you should check with your Doctor first if you're on any regular medication. In particular melatonin and 5 HTP may interact with a number of prescribed antidepressants so particular caution is required there. 

Pre-existing Medical Conditions (Other than Insomnia or overweight): Some pre existing medical conditions may affect the effectiveness or side effect profile of Resurge. Please check with your Doctor if this is the case. There is limited data suggesting that some of the ingredients in Resurge require caution for patients with Prostate and Breast Cancer.

Allergy: Avoid taking Resurge if you have an allergy to any of its active ingredients. 

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid as there is limited data in this setting

Excessive drowsiness the following day: While most patients will experience significant improvement in sleep quality and overall quality of life, some patients may experience excessive drowsiness the following day. If this is the case consider a dose reduction or sending the product back for a full refund. If experiencing day time drowsiness do not drive or operate heavy machinery. 

With strong supporting evidence plus extensive real world experience backing it, we think Resurge is a great option if you're looking to improve sleep quality, feel better and lose weight. If issues around sleep quality are not an issue for you, while you will likely see some benefit, you might find that you are paying for some components of Resurge that you just don't need and perhaps its better to consider another product. That being said, if sleep and weight management are issues for you then Resurge should be a great option. It's fairly priced, and has an iron clad 60 day money back guarantee. We give Resurge a big thumbs up!
