<p>SlimForte is a diet pill that supposedly &#8220;works right away to suppress your appetite, speeds up metabolism and melt away your excess body fat&#8221; (website). This SlimForte review reveals the truth behind SlimForte, detailing the ingredients contained as well as the price and marketing strategies of SlimForte.</p>
<p>
<h3>SlimForte Ingredients</h3>
</p>
<p>The following is the ingredient list for SlimForte diet pills, according to the SlimForte website.</p>
<p>5-HT (we assume they mean 5-HTP) 5-HTP is a mood enhancer included in many diet pills. Research has shown 5-HTP does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Daidaihua supposedly increases metabolism and decreases hunger; however, research fails to back up these claims.</p>
<p>Cassia seed has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Coicis seed does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Mulberry leaf does not promote weight loss.</p>
<p>Glucomannan is a dietary fiber that has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, in order for glucomannan to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of 2-4 grams per day. This SlimForte review finds it is EXTREMELY unlikely that SlimForte diet pills contain enough glucomannan to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>You will note the only ingredient in SlimForte that has been proven to cause weight loss is glucomannan, and it is unlikely that it is included in a high enough amount to actually cause weight loss. This SlimForte review finds there is NO reason to believe SlimForte will cause weight loss.</p>
<p>
<h3>SlimForte Cost&#038;lt</h3>
</p>
<p>SlimForte diet pills cost $65 per month. This is WAY too expensive for SlimForte. There is NO reason to believe SlimForte will actually cause weight loss. If you want to lose weight, use a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>
<p>
<h3>SlimForte Guarantee</h3>
</p>
<p>SlimForte has a 30 day guarantee. They claim it is a full money back guarantee, but they do not give specifics on the guarantee. We prefer at least 60 days to return a product. You can be sure if you use SlimForte you will need to use the guarantee; it will not give you the promised results.</p>
<p>
<h3>SlimForte Marketing</h3>
</p>
<p>The SlimForte website contains pathetic before and after pictures as well as unbelievable testimonials. It is obvious that the pictures have been doctored to make them look better. You will not have results like those pictured by using SlimForte diet pills.</p>
<p>The SlimForte website also contains nearly pornographic images that have nothing to do with SlimForte diet pills. It is distasteful and unnecessary and only makes SlimForte look even worse.</p>
<p>
<h3>SlimForte Conclusion</h3>
</p>
<p>This SlimForte review finds SlimForte is just another diet pill out to get your money. There is no scientific evidence to show SlimForte actually causes weight loss. Look through our recommended products; they included proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p>Lasting Energy&#8221; (TFuel Hardcore package).</p>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is a waste of your time and money; there is NO reason to believe it will lead to weight loss.</p>

<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Arial;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;">helps treat age-related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Arial;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;">Rhodiola Rosea (Rosavins) is a mood enhancing ingredient; it does not cause weight loss.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

It is highly unlikely that TFuel Hardcore contains enough Tyrosine to cause weight loss.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Arial;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;">Evodiamine has been shown to contribute to weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Arial;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;"><span style="Times;">Chocamine needs more research to determine if it is an effective weight loss ingredient. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>Do not be impressed by this excessive list of ingredients. TFuel Hardcore diet pills do contain some effective ingredients, but they fail to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually because there is just a trace amount of each ingredient included. There is no reason to believe TFuel Hardcore will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains &#8220;patented ingredients.&#8221; The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Price</h3>
<p>TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.</p>
<h3>Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?</h3>
<p>After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

</ul>
<p>Do not be impressed by this excessive list of ingredients. TFuel Hardcore diet pills do contain some effective ingredients, but they fail to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually because there is just a trace amount of each ingredient included. There is no reason to believe TFuel Hardcore will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains &#8220;patented ingredients.&#8221; The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Price</h3>
<p>TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.</p>
<h3>Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?</h3>
<p>After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

Better yet, SLENDERFUL does all this without requiring major changes in your lifestyle&#8221; (website). This Slenderful review finds Slenderful falls short on all of its claims. It has an exhausting ingredient list, with only one proven ingredient.<br />
</span></span></p>
<h3>Slenderful Ingredients</h3>
<p>Thiamin (4mg)</p>
<p>Riboflavin (5 mg)</p>
<p>Niacin (13 mg)</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (4 mg)</p>
<p>Folate (175 mcg)</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (9 mcg)</p>
<p>Iodine (75 mcg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(120 mcg)</p>
<p><span><span>Guggulipid</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Gotu kola</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>DL-phenylalanine</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Taurine</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-tyrosine</a></p>
<p><span><span>Octopamine </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Polyphenolic extract of green coffee bean</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Willow bark</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>ipriflavone</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>grape fruit extract 10:1</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>L-methionine</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Yerba matte</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Rhodiola rosea</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Myo inositol</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE </a><span><span>(dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate)</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Choline bitartrate</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-carnitine</a><span><span>-L-tartrate</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-hydroxytryptophan</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha lipoic acid</a><span><span> (antioxidant)</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Uva ursi</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Vanadyl nicotinate</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Capsicum powder</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Ginger </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>DIM</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Sea kelp </span></span></p>
<p>This ingredient list is overwhelming. The long and short of it is only tyrosine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Not only that, Slenderful fails to list the amount of tyrosine it contains. To be effective at causing weight loss, tyrosine has to be taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Slenderful contains enough tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Price</h3>
<p>Slenderful diet pills cost $20.67 for 90 capsules (a one month supply). This is actually inexpensive for a diet pill. However, although Slenderful contains a few proven ingredients, they are included in an undisclosed amount, so any amount is too much to pay for Slenderful.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Slenderful website states, &#8220;You may return your purchase within 30 days of purchase for a refund or replacement. Just fill out the return section on your order&#8217;s packing slip and send it back to us in new condition!&#8221; This is their stealthy way of saying you can only return Slenderful if the package is not open. In other words, if you purchase only one package and use the product you can&#8217;t get your money back.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slenderful review finds Slenderful is nothing more than a typical diet pill; it contains only one proven  ingredient in an undisclosed amount. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. It does not live up to any of its lofty claims. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.</p>

This QuickFire review will detail the ingredients in QuickFire as well as reveal the truth about QuickFire marketing.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Ingredients</h3>
<p><span style="x-small;">Biotin (10mcg) is Vitamin B7. It is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a><span style="x-small;">(70mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss, while others show the opposite.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea </a><span style="x-small;">Extract (150mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. This QuickFire review finds if you take the recommended dosage of QuickFire, you will get enough green tea to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Rhodiole Extract (100mg) may improve mood, but it does not cause weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a><span style="x-small;">(50mg) does contribute to weight loss.<br />
Banaba (33mg) helps to lower blood sugar levels.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a><span style="x-small;"> (33mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Thus, this QuickFire review finds there is not enough tyrosine in QuickFire to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a><span style="x-small;"> (16mg) is supposed to improve mood, but there is no evidence showing it actually contributes to weight loss.</span></p>
<p>Be sure to take into account your reaction to caffeine before taking any supplement containing caffeine.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Price</h3>
<p>QuickFire diet pills cost $21.99 for 90 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, you could get green tea and caffeine pills for much less.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Guarantee</h3>
<p>QuickFire diet pills are made by Prolab. Prolab does not sell their own products; you have to buy them from a retailer. Prolab does not offer a guarantee for QuickFire. However, some retailers provide their own guarantees. Be sure to check the guarantee policy before purchasing any diet pill.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Marketing</h3>
<p>The Prolab website is packed with pictures of rippling muscles as well as unbelievable testimonials. Don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8211;you could lose weight by taking QuickFire, but you will not get bulging biceps from QuickFire.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickFire review finds QuickFire does contain a couple proven ingredients in necessary amounts. However, you could get green tea and caffeine for less money. Also, we would prefer to see a fat burner like synephrine in a diet pill. To find a better diet pill option, look through our recommended products.</p>

</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a><span style="x-small;"> (16mg) is supposed to improve mood, but there is no evidence showing it actually contributes to weight loss.</span></p>
<p>Be sure to take into account your reaction to caffeine before taking any supplement containing caffeine.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Price</h3>
<p>QuickFire diet pills cost $21.99 for 90 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, you could get green tea and caffeine pills for much less.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Guarantee</h3>
<p>QuickFire diet pills are made by Prolab. Prolab does not sell their own products; you have to buy them from a retailer. Prolab does not offer a guarantee for QuickFire. However, some retailers provide their own guarantees. Be sure to check the guarantee policy before purchasing any diet pill.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Marketing</h3>
<p>The Prolab website is packed with pictures of rippling muscles as well as unbelievable testimonials. Don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8211;you could lose weight by taking QuickFire, but you will not get bulging biceps from QuickFire.</p>
<h3>QuickFire Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickFire review finds QuickFire does contain a couple proven ingredients in necessary amounts. However, you could get green tea and caffeine for less money. Also, we would prefer to see a fat burner like synephrine in a diet pill. To find a better diet pill option, look through our recommended products.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Fenphedra Xtreme is an ineffective diet pill that employs unethical marketing practices to con people into buying it. They use the &#8220;Fenphedra&#8221; to get people to buy their product (since Fenphedra actually works). In reality, Fenphedra Xtreme is overpriced and will not cause weight loss. This Fenphedra Xtreme review will show just how Fenphedra Xtreme is trying to rip you off.</p>
<h3>Fenphedra Xtreme Ingredients</h3>
<p>Green tea (45 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg per day. This Fenphedra Xtreme review finds there is not enough green tea in Fenphedra Xtreme to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine anhydrous is simply dehydrated caffeine. It does contribute to weight loss. However, Fenphedra Xtreme fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough caffeine to be effective.</p>
<p>Acacia Rigidula (45 mg Methylsynephrine) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Phenylethylamine HCL enhances mood; it has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (25 mg Synephrine) Synephrine is a clinically proven ingredient. The important aspect with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective synephrine is at causing weight loss. Since Fenphedra Xtreme does not say the concentration of synephrine it includes, there is no way of knowing if it will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>5-HTP is a mood enhancer; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Hoodia Gordonii, despite what many claim, does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Cassia Nomane has been shown to cause weight loss in rats, but no human studies have been conducted.</p>
<p>Theobromine is used as a diuretic; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbine HCL does contribute to weight loss, but Fenphedra Xtreme diet pills hide how much Yohimbine they contain.</p>
<p>L-Tyrosine contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that Fenphedra Xtreme contains enough Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Naringen</p>
<p>6,7 Dihydroxy Bergamottin (Fruit)</p>
<p>Glucuronolactone</p>
<p>5 Methoxytrytamine HCL</p>
<p>Passion Flower</p>
<p>Valerian Root</p>
<p>St. John&#8217;s Wort</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be impressed by the long list of ingredients contained in Fenphedra Xtreme diet pills. It most likely means there are only trace amounts of each ingredient included. Fenphedra Xtreme does contain a few proven ingredients, but they hide how much of most ingredients they have included (besides green tea, which is not included in a high enough amount).</p>
<h3>Fenphedra Xtreme&#8217;s Unethical Marketing</h3>
<p>Fenphedra is a diet pill that has experienced great success. By including the name &#8220;Fenphedra&#8221; in their product, Fenphedra Xtreme is banking off the likelihood that customers will connect them with the original Fenphedra and bring them more business, which is likely to happen.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s get a few things straight:</p>
<ol>
<li>Fenphedra Xtreme is NOT made by the same company as Fenphedra.</li>
<li>Unlike Fenphedra, Fenphedra Xtreme hides the amount of each ingredient they include, making it impossible to determine how effective Fenphedra Xtreme will be at causing weight loss.</li>
<li>Fenphedra Xtreme does not offer any guarantee of their product; Fenphedra stands behind their product, offering a money back guarantee.</li>
<li>Fenphedra is a legitimate diet pill that we highly recommend. In contrast, we recommend staying away from Fenphedra Xtreme.</li>
<li>Fenphedra Xtreme obviously doesn&#8217;t have much going for it since it has to rely on a legitimate product to bring business.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Fenphedra Xtreme Cost</h3>
<p>Fenphedra Xtreme diet pills cost $73.73 per bottle, with one bottle lasting a month. This is ridiculous. There is no reason to believe Fenphedra Xtreme will actually cause weight loss. And since they are trying to bank off the success of Fenphedra and they do not offer any guarantee, I wouldn&#8217;t go near Fenphedra Xtreme with a ten foot pole.</p>
<h3>Fenphedra Xtreme Conclusion</h3>
<p>Fenphedra Xtreme uses pathetic marketing strategies to promote their subpar product. Don&#8217;t even think about taking Fenphedra Xtreme. Instead, try the real Fenphedra or one of our other recommended products. They are honest in their marketing and include proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;May Help Increase Metabolism</li>
<li>Help Improve Mood</li>
<li>Helps Metabolize Fats &amp; Protein for Energy</li>
<li>Helps Neutralize Carbs with (Phase 2 logo).&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>This Slenderite review will determine if Slenderite contains enough of the proven ingredients to be effective in weight loss. It will also reveal the truth behind the guarantee (or lack thereof) associated with Slenderite diet pills.</p>
<h3>Slenderite Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown varying results when it comes to its effect on weight loss. Some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss, while others have shown it does not.</p>
<p>Sodium (15 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>White Kidney Bean Extract (750 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of at least 1.5 grams per day. If you take the recommended two doses of Slenderite per day, you will receive the needed 1.5 grams of white kidney bean extract.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> Extract (270 mg) does contribute to weight loss. If you take two doses of Slenderite every day, you will get the needed 300 mg of green tea needed to be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>EGCG (135 mg) is an antioxidant. Its effects on weight loss are still being studied.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a> (75 mg) enhances mood. However, it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(75 mg) does cause weight loss. Be aware of your own reactions to caffeine before using a diet pill that contains caffeine.</p>
<h3>Slenderite Cost</h3>
<p>Slenderite costs $20.99 for 60 tablets. If you take the recommended 4 tablets per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. Slenderite does contain a few proven ingredients, but you can find them for much less than you will pay for Slenderite diet pills.</p>
<h3>Slenderite Guarantee</h3>
<p>Slenderite is made by Natrol. The Natrol website says nothing about a guarantee for Slenderite. They offer a 30 day money back guarantee on some of their other products but not on Slenderite. It makes us wonder why only certain of Natrol&#8217;s products are guaranteed. Is that because they know you will want to return Slenderite?</p>
<h3>Slenderite Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slenderite review finds that Slenderite, unlike many other diet pill companies, actually says how much of each ingredient they include. They even include some proven ingredients in proven amounts. However, the proven ingredients they use can be bought in other diet pills for less money. We recommend looking through our recommended products to find one that is right for you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-682" title="jetfuel" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/jetfuel.jpg" alt="" width="102" height="152" /><span class="style40">JetFuel is a &#8220;scientifically advanced liquid capsule formula designed to burn body fat, promote long lasting energy, increase stamina, target fat &#8216;trouble&#8217; areas, and increase concentration&#8221; (website). This JetFuel review will dissect the ingredients in JetFuel as well as examine the cost and marketing strategies associated with JetFuel to help you determine if this is the diet pill for you.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>JetFuel Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B3 (25 mg) is important to overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (333mcg) has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>JetFuel Proprietary Blend 2164 mg</p>
<p>MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. JetFuel does not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this JetFuel review finds the Guarana contained in JetFuel diet pills will not be effective at causing weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, JetFuel fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough caffeine in JetFuel to make it effective.</p>
<p>Panex Quiquefolium</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> contributes to weight loss, but once again JetFuel hides the amount of green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. JetFuel diet pills do not list the concentration of synephrine contained.</p>
<p>Yohimbine contributes to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid. JetFuel does not disclose how much Yohimbine it contains.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> is supposed to break down fats, but there is no evidence to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but no human studies have been done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> Extract DOES NOT cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the false claims and celebrity endorsements; research has shown hoodia does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Synthetic <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggelsterone</a> is supposed to increase thyroid function, causing weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/octopamine-hcl-review/" >Octopamine </a>is a popular diet pill ingredient, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5 HTP </a>is a mood enhancer, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>cAMP</p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea is supposed to make you feel good; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Cortisol Blocker Blend 75 mg</p>
<p><span class="style55"> Phosphatidylserine </span></p>
<p>Phosphatidylcholine</p>
<p>Phosphatidylethanolamine</p>
<p>Magnolia Bark</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> is supposed to reduce stress, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Piperine Extract (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine</a>) 5 mg aids in the absorption of nutrients, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>JetFuel Cost</h3>
<p>JetFuel diet pills cost $37.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While JetFuel does contain several proven ingredients, it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<p>JetFuel does offer a &#8220;free sample.&#8221; However, it includes only 3 capsules (half a day&#8217;s worth). How can you tell anything with such a small amount?</p>
<h3>JetFuel Guarantee</h3>
<p>The JetFuel website says nothing about a guarantee so I called their customer service line. The representative I talked to was not knowledgeable. He could not tell me exactly what their guarantee is. According to the representative, they will refund your money if you buy JetFuel from their website. He did not tell me if there is a time limit on the guarantee.</p>
<h3>JetFuel Marketing</h3>
<p>JetFuel has a new spokesman, Jose Canseco. I had to laugh when I saw his face on their website. What reputable company would use Jose Canseco as a spokesman after all the trouble he has been in?</p>
<p>The JetFuel website has dozens of pictures of people with bulging muscles who have supposedly used JetFuel diet pills. Under the pictures is the caption &#8220;results are not typical&#8221;. Why don&#8217;t they have pictures of typical results so you know what to expect?</p>
<h3>JetFuel Conclusion</h3>
<p>This JetFuel review finds JetFuel diet pills are nothing special. They do contain several proven ingredients, but they hide how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend you look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

This JetFuel review will dissect the ingredients in JetFuel as well as examine the cost and marketing strategies associated with JetFuel to help you determine if this is the diet pill for you.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>JetFuel Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B3 (25 mg) is important to overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (333mcg) has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>JetFuel Proprietary Blend 2164 mg</p>
<p>MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. JetFuel does not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this JetFuel review finds the Guarana contained in JetFuel diet pills will not be effective at causing weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, JetFuel fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough caffeine in JetFuel to make it effective.</p>
<p>Panex Quiquefolium</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> contributes to weight loss, but once again JetFuel hides the amount of green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. JetFuel diet pills do not list the concentration of synephrine contained.</p>
<p>Yohimbine contributes to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid. JetFuel does not disclose how much Yohimbine it contains.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> is supposed to break down fats, but there is no evidence to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but no human studies have been done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> Extract DOES NOT cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the false claims and celebrity endorsements; research has shown hoodia does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Synthetic <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggelsterone</a> is supposed to increase thyroid function, causing weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/octopamine-hcl-review/" >Octopamine </a>is a popular diet pill ingredient, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5 HTP </a>is a mood enhancer, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>cAMP</p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea is supposed to make you feel good; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Cortisol Blocker Blend 75 mg</p>
<p><span class="style55"> Phosphatidylserine </span></p>
<p>Phosphatidylcholine</p>
<p>Phosphatidylethanolamine</p>
<p>Magnolia Bark</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> is supposed to reduce stress, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Piperine Extract (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine</a>) 5 mg aids in the absorption of nutrients, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>JetFuel Cost</h3>
<p>JetFuel diet pills cost $37.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While JetFuel does contain several proven ingredients, it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<p>JetFuel does offer a &#8220;free sample.&#8221; However, it includes only 3 capsules (half a day&#8217;s worth). How can you tell anything with such a small amount?</p>
<h3>JetFuel Guarantee</h3>
<p>The JetFuel website says nothing about a guarantee so I called their customer service line. The representative I talked to was not knowledgeable. He could not tell me exactly what their guarantee is. According to the representative, they will refund your money if you buy JetFuel from their website. He did not tell me if there is a time limit on the guarantee.</p>
<h3>JetFuel Marketing</h3>
<p>JetFuel has a new spokesman, Jose Canseco. I had to laugh when I saw his face on their website. What reputable company would use Jose Canseco as a spokesman after all the trouble he has been in?</p>
<p>The JetFuel website has dozens of pictures of people with bulging muscles who have supposedly used JetFuel diet pills. Under the pictures is the caption &#8220;results are not typical&#8221;. Why don&#8217;t they have pictures of typical results so you know what to expect?</p>
<h3>JetFuel Conclusion</h3>
<p>This JetFuel review finds JetFuel diet pills are nothing special. They do contain several proven ingredients, but they hide how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend you look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p>Leptorexin&#8217;s ingredient profile contains both quality, proven ingredients as well as some that aren&#8217;t likely to do much.  Often when we see a long list of ingredients such as this our first reaction is to assume that they aren&#8217;t able to fit enough of each ingredient in the pill to be effective.  With Leptorexin, however, this may or may not be the case.  They use proprietary blends, which is a big turnoff.  But the amounts of those blends (or at least a couple of the blends) appears to possibly be sufficient to be effective.  With all proprietary blends, however, it&#8217;s extremely difficult to give a solid answer as to its probable effectiveness.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Marketing</h3>
<p>The first that we noticed is that <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin</a> looked incredibly familiar.  Well if you look at PatenTrim, you may feel the same way.  It looks like Leptorexin has copied many of the design features of PatenTrim.  I&#8217;m not sure what exactly their strategy was for such a move, but it&#8217;s possible that they are trying to borrow from some of PatenTrim&#8217;s credibility.</p>
<p>Aside from that, the website is quite open about the ingredients (although they do use proprietary blends) and has some basic details about most of them.  We like that.  They do, however, use the overly abused TV logos, trying to make you think that they&#8217;ve been featured on them.  That&#8217;s highly unlikely.</p>
<h3>The Leptorexin Guarantee</h3>
<p>They have a 100% lifetime money back guarantee.  You can only return unopened bottles, but this is still much better than almost all of the other guarantees out there.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Cost</h3>
<p>For one bottle it&#8217;s $59.99.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Conclusion</h3>
<p>The ingredient profile in Leptorexin contains a myriad of ingredients.  Some are good, some are mediocre.  We like their great guarantee and if the pill is effective, the price isn&#8217;t too bad.  It&#8217;s always hard to fully recommend something that uses proprietary blends, so <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin </a>gets a pretty average review.  There may be better solutions out there, but it is likely to help you lose weight.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Anopril is a diet pill which &#8220;can help control your hunger cravings with an appetite suppressant that far surpasses others. Users have reported it to outperform even their top prescription medications&#8221; (website). This Anopril review will determine how Anopril stacks up to the competition and what you can expect from Anopril diet pills.</p>
<h3>Anopril Ingredients</h3>
<p>Anopril diet pills contain 37.5 mg of a formula containing the following ingredients:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a> is an amino acid known for its mood enhancing properties. It is generally thought that mood enhancement can encourage weight loss, but there is no specific scientific evidence showing 5-HTP contributes to weight loss.<br />
Trimethylxanthine is <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >caffeine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Anopril fails to mention how much Trimethylxanthine is contained in their formula, making it impossible to determine if there is enough to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a> is another clinically proven ingredient. Again, the amount of synephrine contained in Anopril is hidden.<br />
Citrus Aurantium actually contains Synephrine. It is interesting that Anopril includes (or at least lists) both Synephrine and Citrus Aurantium as ingredients.<br />
Theobromine is a mood enhancing ingredient found in chocolate. There is no evidence that Theobromine contributes to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-phenylalanine-review/" >L-Phenylalanine</a> is an appetite suppressant which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Anopril fails to disclose how much L-Phenylalanine is included in the formula.</p>
<h3>Anopril Cost</h3>
<p>Anopril diet pills cost $38.95 for a one month supply (with a discount for buying in bulk).</p>
<h3>Anopril Guarantee</h3>
<p>Anopril offers a refund only for unopened bottles. There is a $12 processing fee for all returned products. If the returned product is damaged, there is a $26 disposal fee plus the $12 processing fee. This &#8220;processing&#8221; fee (which they carefully point out is NOT a &#8220;restocking&#8221; fee), seems ridiculous.</p>
<h3>Anopril Marketing</h3>
<p>Anopril has some unique marketing practices. The Anopril website looks like prescription drug website.  There are pictures of doctors on the website. Do not be fooled&#8211;Anopril diet pills ARE NOT endorsed by doctors.</p>
<p>In addition to making the website look like a prescription drug website, Anopril tries to compare itself with prescription weight loss medications. Anopril doesn&#8217;t stack up to FDA approved prescription weight loss medications.</p>
<h3>Anopril Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Anopril review finds Anopril is a typical diet pill. It contains a few proven ingredients but fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. Anopril is misleading in their marketing. Be sure to look for a diet pill that not only includes proven ingredients, but includes them in proven amounts.</p>

It is generally thought that mood enhancement can encourage weight loss, but there is no specific scientific evidence showing 5-HTP contributes to weight loss.<br />
Trimethylxanthine is <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >caffeine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Anopril fails to mention how much Trimethylxanthine is contained in their formula, making it impossible to determine if there is enough to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a> is another clinically proven ingredient. Again, the amount of synephrine contained in Anopril is hidden.<br />
Citrus Aurantium actually contains Synephrine. It is interesting that Anopril includes (or at least lists) both Synephrine and Citrus Aurantium as ingredients.<br />
Theobromine is a mood enhancing ingredient found in chocolate. There is no evidence that Theobromine contributes to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-phenylalanine-review/" >L-Phenylalanine</a> is an appetite suppressant which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Anopril fails to disclose how much L-Phenylalanine is included in the formula.</p>
<h3>Anopril Cost</h3>
<p>Anopril diet pills cost $38.95 for a one month supply (with a discount for buying in bulk).</p>
<h3>Anopril Guarantee</h3>
<p>Anopril offers a refund only for unopened bottles. There is a $12 processing fee for all returned products. If the returned product is damaged, there is a $26 disposal fee plus the $12 processing fee. This &#8220;processing&#8221; fee (which they carefully point out is NOT a &#8220;restocking&#8221; fee), seems ridiculous.</p>
<h3>Anopril Marketing</h3>
<p>Anopril has some unique marketing practices. The Anopril website looks like prescription drug website.  There are pictures of doctors on the website. Do not be fooled&#8211;Anopril diet pills ARE NOT endorsed by doctors.</p>
<p>In addition to making the website look like a prescription drug website, Anopril tries to compare itself with prescription weight loss medications. Anopril doesn&#8217;t stack up to FDA approved prescription weight loss medications.</p>
<h3>Anopril Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Anopril review finds Anopril is a typical diet pill. It contains a few proven ingredients but fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. Anopril is misleading in their marketing. Be sure to look for a diet pill that not only includes proven ingredients, but includes them in proven amounts.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Increases stamina and energy</li>
<li>Suppress appetite</li>
<li>Increase calorie expenditure</li>
<li>Improve long term performance</li>
<li>Improve mental focus&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>This Venom Hyperdrive review will reveal the truth behind these claims and give you the information you need to determine if Venom Hyperdrive diet pills are right for you.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Notice:</span></strong> Venom Hyperdrive has been changed to Hyperdrive 3.0.  Hyperdrive 3.0 was recently been flagged by the FDA and is warning that people not purchase the product. It seems as though the FDA found some sibutramine, which is a controlled substance with many dangerous side effects.  The fact that Hyperdrive had a dangerous ingredient that wasn&#8217;t listed on their label is downright wrong.  We, like the FDA, advise you to steer clear of Hyperdrive.</p>
<h3>Venom Hyperdrive Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>Unique Proprietary Matrix 300mg</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chocamine-review/" >Cocoamine</a>™</li>
<li>Guarana extracts</li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a></li>
<li>ALA (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a>)</li>
<li>Vitaberine (thiamine trisulfide analog)</li>
<li>B-12 (as cyanocobalamin)</li>
<li>Guggul Extracts (2.5% <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterones</a>)</li>
<li>Rhodiola rosea root extract</li>
<li>Capsiate</li>
</ul>
<p>Cocoamine is trade marked and patent pending proprietary unique cocoa extract that provides the health benefits of chocolate without any of the unhealthy ingredients (you know, like sugar and fat).</p>
<p>Guarana has been proven to contribute to weight loss but ONLY when <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >combined with damiana and yerba mate</a>. Venom Hyperdrive does not contain either of these ingredients. There has been no research to determine the effectiveness of guarana by itself.</p>
<p>Hoodia gordonii is nothing more than an over-hyped diet pill fad. There is NO scientific evidence to show that Hoodia actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>5-HTP is an amino acid, a precursor to serotonin (serotonin modulates anger, aggression, body temperature, mood, and appetite, among other things). The main purpose for 5-HTP to be included in a diet pill is for its mood enhancing effects. Much of the excessive calorie consumption causing obesity is due to mood-induced eating.</p>
<p>Gugglesterones are supposed to increase thyroid function to promote weight loss. However, studies have had varying results.</p>
<p>All of the ingredients in Venom Hyperdrive are included in the &#8220;Proprietary Matrix&#8221;, which means they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is in the formula. This Venom Hyperdrive review finds that none of the ingredients in Venom Hyperdrive diet pills have been proven to contribute to weight loss, <em>no matter how much is included</em>.</p>
<h3>Side effects of Venom Hyperdrive</h3>
<p>The side effects of Venom Hyperdrive diet pills include nausea, dehydration, jitters, anxiety, and headache.</p>
<h3>Cost of Venom Hyperdrive</h3>
<p>One bottle of 90 capsules of Venom Hyperdrive costs $28.95. If you take the recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last about 22 days. This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering there are no proven ingredients included, it is infinitely too expensive.</p>
<h3>Venom Hyperdrive Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Venom Hyperdrive review finds that Venom Hyperdrive diet pills are not worth taking. None of the ingredients included have been proven to contribute to weight loss, not to mention they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
