CritiCalorie's Top Diet Pill Pick
Do we ever rate a diet pill positively?. Yes (rarely). Why aren't we recommending Dren? 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.
Dren Review
Dren is “The most powerful thermogenic fat burner” (website). They also claim, “Even hardcore ephedrine junkies who were popping 50 to 100mg per day in their ECA stacks consider the fat burning and euphoric effects of DREN to be extreme. The word on the street is DREN is like taking a ‘hit’ of pure adrenaline stacked with ephedrine.” This Dren review will let you know what the science says and what you can really expect from Dren diet pills.
Dren Ingredients
Drenbuterol 409 mg
Mesolimbic Beta Agonist Complex
Caffeine
L-5 Hydroxytryptophan
Beta Methoxyphenylethylamine
Yohimbine HCl
Caffeine is a clinically proven ingredient which increases metabolic rate to cause weight loss. Unfortunately, Dren fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if the amount of caffeine in Dren diet pills is enough to be effective.
L-5 Hydroxytryptophan is a mood enhancer. There is no proof that L-5 Hydroxytryptophan directly contributes to weight loss.
Beta Methoxyphenylethylamine is also known as PEA or “The Love Drug”. It is found in chocolate and is supposed to be a “feel good” ingredient. However, there is doubt as to whether PEA reaches the brain before being metabolized. Regardless, there is no research showing PEA actually contributes to weight loss.
Yohimbine mobilizes fatty acid, causing weight loss. However, Dren does not disclose how much Yohimbine it contains, making it impossible for this Dren review to determine if there is enough Yohimbine in Dren diet pills to be effective.
While Dren does contain two clinically proven ingredients, it does not list how much of each ingredient is included. This usually means there is not enough of each ingredient to cause weight loss.
Dren Cost
You can get a bottle of 30 Dren diet pills (a one month supply) for $39.99. While this is not expensive for a diet pill, there is no research showing Dren actually works, which means any amount is too much for Dren.
Dren Guarantee
Dren offers a 100% money back guarantee. You have to return the item with a description of problem. There is no time limit specified for the guarantee.
The “Science” Behind Dren
The Dren website claims their product is backed by science. The truth is that caffeine and yohimbine have been proven to contribute to weight loss IF they are used in correct amounts. Too bad Dren hides the amounts of these ingredients.
The rest of the ingredients lack ANY scientific backing that they contribute to weight loss. The Dren website uses big words and scientific language to make you think Dren is backed by science. Don’t be fooled by their flowery language–Dren will not cause weight loss.
Dren Conclusion
This Dren review finds Dren diet pills are not worth your money. They hide how much of each ingredient is included. They use misleading language and bogus claims to make you believe this is the answer to your dieting needs. Don’t fall for Dren’s misleading claims. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

I used Dren for about 3 months and lost 24lbs. I’ve never had results from anything else I’ve tried in the past. The only thing I changed from what I was already doing was add Dren. I think before you make statements like you do you should find out what kind of results people are getting. I know for a fact from various blogs out there alot of people are getting great results. That’s the reason I decided to give it a try. Above is the blog that helped me decide to give it a try. Several posted no results but alot of them did’nt give it an honest shot. Much more with results than without.

Hi James,
Thanks for your comment. I would be more supportive of Dren if they disclosed how much ingredient they’re including in their formulation.
Also, I really can only evaluate diet pills based on their ingredients. Relying on anecdotal evidence is folly. Diet pill companies can fabricate reviews and, on top of that, it’s very hard to isolate the changes made when someone begins taking a diet pill. For those two reasons, I don’t rely on anecdotal evidence when evaluating diet pills.

This is true, however for a diet pill that actually “works” why would they want that type of information on the bottle? Not saying it does or does not work from past experience(never have taken it before) but a few of my friends in the gym have. Yes everyone gets different results from these products based on several different factors. Ultimately the only true way to know if a product works or not is to have it tested.

Hi D, if the diet pill works, then word of mouth will sell it. Proprietary blends are just a way for companies to pretend to be protecting their formula, when really they’re just not wanting to disclose how much (or little) ingredient is actually in there.

every once in a while. I keep it in my desk drawer at work and some days I’ll be really drowsy. I just use it as a pick me up. Works pretty well. Does make you feel kind of weird though..
