CritiCalorie's Top Diet Pill Pick
Do we ever rate a diet pill positively?. Yes (rarely). Why aren't we recommending AmbiSlim PM? We're looking for clinically-researched ingredients, at the right (that means clinical) dosage. There are a few diet pills that have chosen this better route, and our favorite is Apidexin. You can read our review or go to the official site.
AmbiSlim PM Review
AmbiSlim PM is a diet pill that “has a unique blend of natural ingredients that will allow you to sleep well AND lose weight at the same time” (website). What we see is a product that contains only two proven ingredients and does not disclose how much of any ingredient is included. This AmbiSlim PM review will give the highlights (and lowlights) of AmbiSlim PM to help you see that this product is not the one you are looking for.
Hydroxycitric Acid Update
On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems. Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA’s report
Common symptoms of liver complications include:
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
- brown urine
- light colored stools
- unusual tiredness
- stomach pain
- itching
- loss of appetite
- weakness
- vomiting
In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.” you can never be too cautious.
So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.
AmbiSlim PM Ingredients
AmbiSlim PM contains a proprietary blend of the following ingredients:
Decaffeinated Green Tea–Green tea has been shown to contribute to weight loss due to the caffeine it contains. Thus, This AmbiSlim PM review finds the Decaffeinated Green Tea in AmbiSlim PM diet pills will not cause weight loss.
Slimaluma is made of Caralluma Fimbriata Extract. There has not been sufficient research done on Caralluma Fimbriata Extract.
Chromium Polynicotinate has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have found it contributes to weight loss while other studies have found it does not.
Magnolia Bark
Guggulsterone is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, more research is needed to prove this.
Dandelion Root
Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, AmbiSlim PM includes Coleus Forskohlii in a proprietary blend, so there is no way of knowing if there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.
Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, AmbiSlim PM does not list how much garcinia cambogia it contains.
Cinnamon Extract is supposed to help control blood sugar, but research has not proven this.
Valerian Root promotes restful sleep.
Hops flower
Jujube Extract
Passion Flower promotes restful sleep.
Phenibut
Chamomile Extract
Ashwagandha
Melatonin promotes restful sleep.
AmbiSlim PM Cost
A one month supply of AmbiSlim PM diet pills costs $19.99. The AmbiSlim PM website claims this saves you $40 per bottle. This is a common tactic among diet pill companies; they want you to think you are getting a great deal so you will buy their product. Don’t be tricked into buying AmbiSlim PM. AmbiSlim PM contains only a couple proven ingredients, and the amounts of these ingredients are not disclosed. Thus, any amount of money for AmbiSlim PM is too much.
AmbiSlim PM Guarantee
AmbiSlim PM offers a 30 day money back guarantee. We would really prefer to see a 90 day guarantee, and be assured you will use the AmbiSlim PM guarantee if you buy it.
AmbiSlim PM Conclusion
This AmbiSlim PM review finds AmbiSlim PM is nothing to write home about. It is a typical diet pill–it contains a couple proven ingredients but fails to mention how much of those ingredients are included. Don’t get stuck with a diet pill you regret; look for a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Look through our recommended products for some good options.
