CritiCalorie's Top Diet Pill Pick
Do we ever rate a diet pill positively?. Yes (rarely). Why aren't we recommending Sea-Thin? 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 Boda Extract No. 3. You can read our review or go to the official site.
Sea-Thin Review
Sea-Thin is a diet pill whose “unique marine vegetable extract is combined with pomegranate seed oil in a patent-pending formulation–the only one with human clinical research” (website). This Sea-Thin review will explore the “human” research and the patent pending as well as compare Sea-Thin to an identical product (Fucothin) to help you know what you can expect from Sea-Thin diet pills.
Sea-Thin Ingredients
Proprietary Sea-Thin blend 200 mg
Brown seaweed (contains 5 mg Fucoxanthin)–Fucoxanthin protects cells from damage. The only studies done on Fucoxanthin has been done on rats and mice; no studies have been done on humans. There is no evidence to suggest Fucoxanthin contributes to weight loss (even in the studies on rats and mice).
Pomegranate seed oil contains punicic acid, which has been shown to help eliminate fat cells. Unfortunately, Sea-Thin fails to disclose how much pomegrate seed oil it contains, making it impossible for this Sea-Thin review to determine if there is enough pomegranate seed oil in Sea-Thin diet pills to contribute to weight loss.
The ingredients contained in Sea-Thin are EXACTLY the same as those contained in Fucothin. If you read our Fucothin review, you will note that Garden of Life, the manufacturer of Fucothin, was fined by the Federal Trade Commission for making “deceptive claims” and false claims about clinical findings.
Sea-Thin makes very similar claims to those made of Fucothin…
Sea-Thin Cost
Sea-Thin diet pills cost $39.95 for 90 softgels (a one-month supply). This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering there is no proof that Sea-Thin actually works, any amount of money is too much to pay for Sea-Thin.
Sea-Thin Claims and Confusion
The Sea-Thin website claims they have had human research done on Sea-Thin. The truth is that NO research has been done specifically on Sea-Thin, only on its ingredients. The other interesting piece of information Sea-Thin fails to mention is that the human clinical studies they cite were done on thermogenics, not on Sea-Thin or even its ingredients. The study they list on Fucoxanthin was done on mice and rats.
We checked the U.S. Patent Office website for a record of the patent that is supposed to be pending for Sea-Thin; there is not one listed. This is not to say that there is not a patent pending, but we find it interesting that it is not listed on the U.S. Patent Office website.
No Sea-Thin Guarantee
The Sea-Thin website says nothing about a guarantee. We emailed their customer service and received an email back three days later (obviously not great customer service). They explained that since ever person is different they do not offer a guarantee. This is just another red flag. If they are not willing to back up their product it is not worth buying.
Sea-Thin Conclusion
This Sea-Thin review finds that Sea-Thin is a typical diet pill; they hide how much of each ingredient is contained in the formula. The misleading statements Sea-Thin makes about the clinical studies done make us skeptical about the company. Don’t waste your time on Sea-Thin; look for a diet pill that is honest about their ingredients and the clinical findings supporting them.
