CritiCalorie's Top Diet Pill Pick
Do we ever rate a diet pill positively?. Yes (rarely). Why aren't we recommending Ultra 90? 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.
Ultra 90 Review
The marketing strategy of Ultra 90 is to convince potential customers that the product does not trick the body into weight loss. However, their product itself tricks people into believing they will experience significant weight loss by using Ultra 90.
Ultra 90’s Ingredients
Marine Collagen Protein & Gelatin—Many diet pill companies claim collagen gelatin helps reduce body fat and erases fine lines and wrinkles. However, research has not shown any significant weight loss due to this ingredient.
Aloe Vera’s health benefits are uncontested and it’s used as a mild laxative with moderate success. The use of Aloe Vera for weight loss is mainly for colon cleansing.
Vitamin C has healthy benefits but does not contribute to weight loss
Safflower Oil provides the material to build prostaglandins, which help to regulate body functions
Glycerin is added to Ultra 90 for flavor; it does not contribute to weight loss
Bees Wax is used as the casing for the Ultra 90 capsules; it does not aid in weight loss
Lecithin, according to Ultra 90, helps to break down fat and flush it out of the body. Research does not support this claim. Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
Ultra 90 does not disclose how much of each ingredient is contained in each capsule.
On a positive note, Ultra 90 does not contain any stimulants such as caffeine (see our review of caffeine here, it’s actually quite effective for weight loss), ephedrine, or amphetamines, which may be important if your body is sensitive to these types of ingredients. The ingredients are all natural and there are no known side effects.
Ultra 90’s Claims are Unfounded
Ultra 90 claims that the combination of these ingredients will bring weight loss, increased muscle, and decreased fine lines and wrinkles. Research does not support any of these claims. In fact, collagen protein is one of the main ingredients in Jell-O. Maybe you should save yourself some money and eat Jell-O instead; it would have the same effect.
Ultra 90’s Gimmicky AM/PM Formulations
Unlike some other diet pills, Ultra 90 gives you the option of an AM and a PM formula. They contain the same ingredients. For the AM formula, take three capsules first thing in the morning and don’t eat for at least an hour. For the PM formula, stop eating and drinking three hours before bed, then take three capsules with water and go to bed. Well, the those three hours before bed are considered to be the most likely snack time of the day.
In reality, Ultra 90 is just reducing your calories by keeping you from eating during the evening hours. In order to trick customers out of even more money, the Ultra 90 website recommends taking both the AM and PM formulas to expedite and increase weight loss. To reiterate — the AM and PM formulations are the exact same. This is just a marketing trick akin to Leoptoprin and Leptopril (whose maker/marketer we openly despise).
Ultra 90 Does Not Offer a Moneyback Guarantee
And for good reason. If they did, they’d have a lot of people taking them up on it. They claim that they don’t accept returns because their product is perishable. That’s funny (in a sarcastic, amused sort of way), because there are plenty of upstanding companies that will accept returns on perishable goods. We find the fact that there is no guarantee to be very disturbing — especially when combined with the fact that not one of their ingredients has been proven to aid in weight loss to any significant degree.
Ultra 90 Review in Conclusion
This product is misleading to consumers. Ultra 90 claims the product does not trick the body into weight loss, but in fact, the product does not yield significant weight loss in itself. If Ultra 90 users are seeing weight loss it is likely due to the decrease in calories because they are not eating during the hours of taking the supplement. Few, if any, of the claims made by Ultra 90 have been proven. The product is expensive, especially considering taking both the AM and PM formulas together is recommended, making the supplements twice as expensive to take. This product is like any other collagen protein product–spend your money somewhere else.
