Lipovox Hardcore Detox Ingredients

Lipovox Hardcore Detox doesn’t just have a long name, it also has a long list of ingredients. They’ve broken them down into a few different sections:

Patented Ingredient Blend (655mg)
Tonalin Cla
Super CitriMax
Pinnothin
Advantra-Z
NeOpuntia
Phase-2
7-Keto DHEA
Forslean
FucoPure

SuperFood Blend (400mg)
Acai
Cayenne
Wheatgrass
Garlic
Lactbacillus Acidophilus
Soybean Extract
LinumLife Flaxseed Lignans
Alfalfa
Buckwheat

Instant Detox Blend (710mg)
Dandelion Root
Uva Ursi
Buchu
Celery Seed
Psyllium Husk
Lemon Balm
Couchgrass
Milk Thistle
Parsley
Ginger

Antioxidant Blend (400mg)
Green Tea (50% caffeine)
Caffeine Anhydrous
DMAE
Alpha Lipoic Acid

The short of it is that you’re getting a lot of high quality weight loss ingredients here. They’ve basically taken the SuperFood ingredient profile of the original Lipovox and added a ton of other effective ingredients. Many of them have been proven in clinical studies to aid in weight loss. I would like to see them disclose how much of each individual ingredient is included.

You can click on the ingredients above to read the full reviews of the ingredients.

With so many ingredients packed in, it’s no wonder they had to go from 60 capsules to 180!

***Note***

Because of the recent concern and newly found evidence that the ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) may be linked to certain health concerns dealing with the liver, we are no longer recommending Lipovox Hardcore Detox. Lipovox Hardcore Detox contains Super CitriMax, whose active component is HCA. The FDA, in a recent warning about Hydroxycut-branded products, said: “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products.”

While FDA hasn’t specifically identified HCA as the culprit, some believe that it may responsible for the health problems. One can never be too cautious. As such, all products containing HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

For more information on the FDA’s warning against Hydroxycut and possible dangers to the liver due to HCA, see the Hydroxycut Review.

Great Money Back Guarantee

One the things that really impressed me with Lipovox Hardcore Detox is their money back guarantee. In the diet pill industry, a good guarantee is anything from 60 to 90 days. Lipovox HardCore Detox offers a Lifetime guarantee on all unopened bottles AND on one empty bottle. This kind of guarantee is rarely seen in this industry.

Not a Big Fan of the Marketing

The same as the original Lipovox website, Lipovox Hardcore Detox still has the magazine covers posted near the top of the site. This is a common tactic used to add perceived credibility. It implies that the product was either feature in or endorsed by the magazine or celebrity. For example, the SuperFoods were definitely covered in both the Oprah magazine and TV show, but in no way did they endorse the Lipovox Hardcore Detox product.

Price

The Lipovox Hardcore Detox website has the product listed at $49.99 (only $20 more than the original Lipovox). If the product is effective, this is a decent price for a diet pill.

Conclusion

Lipovox Hardcore Detox is definitely a step up from the original Lipovox formula. The inclusion of so many proven ingredients should add quite a bit to its effectiveness. Since the appearance of possible health issues associated with HCA, however, I’m not able to recommend the diet pill. The price is good and the guarantee is stellar. If it weren’t for the HCA, I’d give Lipovox a green light.

This Liporexall review will dig a little deeper to see if Liporexall is as impressive as it’s first impression leads us to believe.

Liporexall Ingredients

ChromeMate – ChromeMate, a patented form of chromium, is designed to regulate levels of sugar in the blood. Many believe this leads to weight loss.

Super Citrimax – Super Citrimax is a proven weight loss ingredient due to it’s inclusion of HCA. HCA has been shown to inhibit fat production and suppress appetite.

*Note: 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.

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.

Pinnothin – Pinnothin is meant to cause appetite suppression.

NeOpuntia – A complex of fibers that binds with fat in order to make them unabsorbable, NeOpuntia a good diet pill ingredient with quite a bit of research backing it up.

Phase-2 – A starch neutralizer, Phase-2 is designed to block the starch. Phase-2 is a great addition to other quality ingredients.

7-KETO – While more research is certainly desirable, 7-KETO has shown to be an effective weight loss ingredient. It helps to break down DHEA, which aids in weight loss.

ForsLean – Research shows that forskohlin, the main ingredient in ForsLean, helps to promote lean muscle mass.

Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate – Infinergy contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase metabolic function, leading to weight loss. Caffeine is one of the few diet pill ingredients that is actually fully backed by loads of research.

Tonalin – Another quality ingredient, Tonalin is a patented form of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). CLA a lot of research backing up it’s claims to help retain muscle while lowering body fat.

Bioperine – Bioperine is a patented ingredient designed to help in the absorption of nutrients. While it won’t cause weight loss by itself, it’s a welcomed addition to other effective ingredients.

All in all the ingredients in Liporexall looks to be quite effective. The inclusion of Super Citrimax (which contains HCA), however, causes me to not recommend the product in light of the recent news with Hydroxycut.

Liporexall’s Marketing

I like that the Liporexall website contains a good deal of information about each ingredient in the product and has a very clear focus on the ingredients throughout the site. Too many diet pills barely mention the ingredients and do little more than spit a sales pitch at you. Knowing the ingredients, you can do your own research to see if it will be effective.

I’m not quite so sure about the lofty claims Liporexall (900% increase in weight loss, build 700% more lean muscle, etc.), but I’ll let you be the judge.

A Lifetime Guarantee

While there was little information about the requirements/process of the money back guarantee, they do have a lifetime guarantee. This is an amazing guarantee in this industry (anything over 60 days is pretty good).

How Much does Liporexall Cost?

One bottle of Liporexall will cost $49.99 and should last you 30 days. They do offer discounts for larger orders.

Liporexall Conclusion

Liporexall contains some solid ingredients. While I wish we knew how much of each was included, the ingredient profile is likely to be very effective. The prices is average, and the guarantee is great. If it didn’t have HCA thrown in the mix, I would recommend Liporexall.

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.

Phentramine Ingredients

Hoodia Gordonii (800 mg), despite being endorsed by various celebrities, has not been proven to contribute to weight loss; it is just another fad diet pill ingredient with nothing to back it.
L-Carnitine (25 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
L-Taurine (25 mcg) is supposed to increase energy, but research has yet to prove it.
Folic acid (600 mcg) is important to health, but it does nothing for weight loss.
Phentarmine proprietary blend (828 mg)
Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Yerba Mate but not Damiana. Thus, this Phentramine review finds the Guarana in Phentramine capsules will not cause weight loss.
Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Guarana but not Damiana.
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, a power player when it comes to diet pill ingredients. Synephrine is a proven ingredient, but only when it is included in a high concentration. Unfortunately, Phentramine does not say the concentration of Synephrine it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.
Green Tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Phentramine hides how much green tea is contained in the capsules.
Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Cayenne does nothing for weight loss.
Korean Ginseng
Gynemma Sylvestre helps control blood sugar levels, which can lead to weight loss.
7-Keto (DHEA) causes weight loss when used in doses of 100 mg or more per day.

Phentramine capsules contain some of the best diet pill ingredients. However, since Phentramine fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing if there is enough to cause weight loss. Usually this means the manufacturer has included only trace amounts of the proven ingredients (because they are expensive) but does not want the customer to know this. Thus, this Phentramine review finds Phentramine capsules might cause weight loss, but it is not worth the gamble.

Phentramine Cost

Phentramine capsules cost $69 on the Phentramine website for a one month supply. They want you to think you are getting a great discount off the regular price of $109. Even the $69 price is too much to pay for Phentramine capsules. There is a possibility that Phentramine capsules will work, but $69 is a lot to pay for a possibility.

Phentramine Guarantee

The Phentramine website says Phentramine is “100% Quality Satisfaction Guaranteed”. This is very misleading because the fine print says:
“There are NO Refunds after an order has been shipped. This is non-negotiable and indisputable within the terms and agreement accepted before final purchase” (website).
Thus, they are misleading people into thinking they can get a refund when the truth is hidden in the fine print.

Phentramine Conclusion

This Phentramine review finds that Phentramine capsules contain some proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden, making it impossible to know if Phentramine capsules will actually cause weight loss. This, combined with the misleading guarantee, keeps us from recommending Phentramine capsules.

Phentarmine is a diet pill trying to pose as an equal to Phentermine (a prescription weight loss medication with excellent results). Don’t be fooled; Phentarmine is NOT the same as Phentermine and has not been proven to cause weight loss. This Phentarmine review will explain the ingredients contained in Phentarmine diet pills and will help you see if this is the right product for you. Phentramine comes in tablets and capsules, each with different ingredients. Thus, this Phentramine review will detail only the Phentramine tablet.

Phentarmine Ingredients

Phentarmine proprietary blend (532 mg)
L-Phenylalanine is a feel good ingredient. There is no research to show Phenylalanine actually causes weight loss.
Synephrine HCL has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration–the higher the concentration the more effective it is. Since Phentarmine fails to list the concentration of Synephrine it contains, there is no way of knowing if the Synephrine in Phentarmine is enough to cause weight loss.
Theobromine is another mood enhancer; it does not contribute to weight loss.
Caffeine Anhydrous is simply dehydrated caffeine. Caffeine increases metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. However, Phentarmine dies not list how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.
Copper Sulfate
7-Keto (DHEA) contributes to weight loss when used in doses of 100 mg or more per day. Phentarmine does not say how much 7-Keto it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that Phentarmine contains enough 7-Keto to be effective in causing weight loss.
L-Carnitine has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
L-Taurine is supposed to increase energy, but research does not prove it.

You will notice Phentarmine does include several great, proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, Phentarmine fails to list how much of each ingredient is included so it is impossible to determine how effective it will be.

Phentarmine Cost

Phentarmine tablets cost $89.95 for a one month supply (which is supposedly a great deal from the regular price of $159). This is way too much for a diet pill, not to mention a diet pill that does not list how much of each ingredient it includes.

Phentarmine Marketing

The Phentarmine website tries to make it seem that Phentarmine is equal to Phentermine. Don’t be fooled by their lofty claims; there is NO scientific research to show Phentarmine contributes to weight loss.

Phentarmine Conclusion

This Phentarmine review finds Phentarmine tablets contain some great ingredients, but since the amounts are not listed, there is no way of knowing if they will work. Phentarmine tablets are way too expensive. Save yourself some time and money by taking a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

MX-LS7 Ingredients

Green tea does cause weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, MX-LS7 hides how much green tea it contains.

Yerba Mate has been proven to cause weight loss but only when combined with Damiana and Guarana. MX-LS7 does not contain Damiana or Guarana. Thus, this MX-LS7 review finds the Yerba Mate in MX-LS7 will not contribute to weight loss.

Natural and anhydrous caffeine contribute to weight loss, but MX-LS7 does not list how much caffeine it contains.

Bioperine increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily cause weight loss.

Synephrine is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect of synephrine is the concentration–the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Once again, MX-LS7 does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Gugglesterone supposedly increase thyroid function, but research has shown varying results.

Clary sage

Coleus forskholii does cause weight loss, but there is no proof of how much coleus forskholii MX-LS7 contains.

Tyrosine causes weight loss when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day; it is unlikely that MX-LS7 contains enough Tyrosine to be effective.

Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.

Xanthinol Nicotinate has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Bacopa

Vinpocetine is used to treat age related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.

MX-LS7 Price

MX-LS7 diet pills cost $34.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill. Although MX-LS7 contains several clinically proven ingredients, it fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for MX-LS7 diet pills.

MX-LS7 Guarantee

MX-LS7 has an unconditional 60-day money-back guarantee. Unlike many other diet pill companies, MX-LS7 will even give refunds on open bottles. We like this guarantee, but be assured you will need it if you buy MX-LS7.

MX-LS7 Conclusion

MX-LS7 contains several of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately they do not list how much of each ingredient is included (probably because there are only trace amounts of these ingredients). Look for a diet pill with similar ingredients but one that includes them in the necessary amounts.

What are the ingredients contained in Hooderma?

The following are the ingredients in Hooderma, according to their website.

Hoodia Gordonii 20:1 extract
Green Tea
7 Keto DHEA
Aloe Vera Gel
MSM
Hyaluronic Acid

Hoodia Gordonii is an overhyped ingredient that is extremely popular right now. Unfortunately, regardless of what some might claim, there is NO scientific evidence to show that Hoodia actually contributes to weight loss. Hoodia 20:1 extract is supposedly the purest form of Hoodia, but it doesn’t really matter considering it hasn’t been proven to work.

Green tea is a clinically proven ingredient which increases the metabolic rate. Green tea is one of our favorite ingredients, as long as it is included in proven amounts.

7-KETO is a naturally occurring metabolite (metabolites break things down for use in the body) of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA serves as a precursor for the sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Studies have shown that 7-KETO can contribute to weight loss, when used in the proper amount. There are no long-term studies available to show 7-KETO’s affect on humans. Some have concerns that it may cause heart palpitations. Others have even suggested maximum dosages of 5mg. As always, it is up for you to decide if you are comfortable supplementing with 7-KETO.

Aloe vera is known for its use in treating cuts and burns. While it is used in my skin care products, there is no evidence of its effectiveness in these products. It has not been shown to contribute to weight loss either.

MSM is often used to treat osteoarthritis and snoring. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.

Hyaluronic acid cushions and lubricates connective tissue in the body. Research has shown that hyaluronic acid can help to reduce wrinkles.

What does the research say about Hooderma?

Here are the problems with Hooderma: 1) They do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included in the formula. 2) There has been no research done specifically on diet gels. All the research has been done on diet pills. This makes it impossible for this Hooderma review to determine how effective Hooderma is.

Does Hooderma really help the skin?

Hooderma does contain hyaluronic acid, which can help to reduce lines and wrinkles. However, they do not disclose how much hyaluronic acid is included, so, once again, this Hooderma review cannot determine if the hyaluronic acid in Hooderma is effective in reducing wrinkles.

Neither Aloe vera nor MSM has been proven to contribute to moisturizing the skin or reducing wrinkles.

What is the cost of Hooderma?

Hooderma costs $31.99 for a two month supply. While this is relatively inexpensive compared to other diet products, there is no evidence that it actually works.

Does Hooderma have a guarantee?

Hooderma includes a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. According to the website, if you return one used and any unused bottle you will be given a full refund minus shipping.

What are the side effects of Hooderma?

Side effects include restlessness, allergic reactions to the gel, and blood sugar imbalances.

Hooderma conclusion

This Hooderma review finds that while a diet gel may be a new idea, it is not an effective one (at least not for this gel). Hooderma does contain some ingredients that have proven effective in promoting weight loss, they do not include ingredient amounts. Also, there has been no research done on diet gels so there is no way to know how much of each ingredient would be effective. If you are serious about losing weight, read through our recommended products.

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.

Slim 10 Ingredients

Slim 10 contains a proprietary blend of the following ingredients:

Advantra Z® is made of Synephrine. In clinical studies, Synephrine has been proven to contribute to weight loss.
Super Citrimax® contains HCA from the South Asian fruit Garnicia cambogia. It is a proven appetite suppressant and inhibits fat production.
Tonalin® is made of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It is proven to preserve lean muscle and reduce body fat.
Phase 2® is made from white kidney beans. Clinical studies have shown Phase 2 blocks calories from starch, leading to weight loss.
7-Keto® is a metabolite of DHEA. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
NeOpuntia® is from the Opuntia ficus indica cactus. The fibers bind with the fat so it is not absorbed.
ForsLean® is made of Forskohlin, which promotes lean body mass, which helps you lose weight.
Slimaluma® is made of Caralluma Fimbriata Extract, an ancient Indian cactus which allegedly works as an appetite suppressant. More research is needed on Caralluma Fimbriata.
ChromeMate® is simply Chromium. Chromium deficiencies are extremely rare. Studies have found conflicting results about Chromium’s efficiency in promoting weight loss.
CarniPure® contains Carnitine. Carnitine is supposed to help breakdown fats. More research is needed on Carnitine.

Slim 10 also contains 500 mg of Real South African Hoodia.

While many of the ingredients in Slim 10 have been proven to successfully promote weight loss,
since they are included in a “proprietary blend”, there is no way to know how much of each ingredient
is actually included. Thus, it is impossible for this Slim 10 review to determine how effective
Slim 10 diet pills actually are. Companies usually use proprietary blends to disguise how little of
each ingredient they have included in their formula.

Slim 10 Could Cause Liver Failure

Several reputable sources (including Time Magazine and the BBC) are reporting that several women have experienced liver failure from taking Slim 10.
This is very concerning to us.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,333902,00.html
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/2036480.stm

Slim 10 Cost

Slim 10 costs $75 for one month supply. This is very expensive considering there is no way to prove if this product works. We do like that Slim 10 gives an autoship option. We generally do not like autoship, but at least there is an option not to use autoship. However, their shipping rate is $20 per order, which is very high for a diet pill.

Slim 10 Guarantee

Slim 10 offers a “100% refund” for returns made within 90 days of purchase. You will have to pay shipping charges to return the product as well as a $7.95 restocking fee.

Slim 10 Marketing

Slim 10 does a good job promoting each individual ingredient in their product. They list legitimate clinical studies done on the ingredients. However, they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included in Slim 10, so it is impossible to know whether the ingredients will be effective.

Slim 10 Conclusion

This Slim 10 review finds that Slim 10 diet pills include some great ingredients. Unfortunately, they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to know how effective Slim 10 will be. We are very concerned about the possibility of liver failure from using Slim 10. We encourage you to look for a product that contains proven ingredients such as those in Slim 10, but be sure they are included in effective amounts.

Lean System 7 Ingredients

7-Keto
Yerba Mate
Guarana
Citrus aurantium (synephrine)
Green tea leaf extract
Dandelion
Bioperine

7-Keto is a metabolite from DHEA. One study showed that participants taking 100mg of 7-KETO twice daily lost an average of 6.34 pounds compared to the placebo group’s loss of 2.13 pounds. Long term effects of 7-Keto have not been determined. Unfortunately, Lean System 7 includes 7-Keto in a proprietary blend; they do not say exactly how much is included, so it is impossible to know whether there is enough 7-Keto to be effective.

Note: The Canadian version of Lean System 7 does not contain 7-Keto because of Canadian regulations.

Studies have shown that when Yerba Mate and Guarana are combined with Damiana, they contribute to weight loss. However, you will notice Lean System 7 does not contain Damiana. Yerba Mate and Guarana have NOT been shown to have an effect on weight loss when used without Damiana.

Citrus aurantium contains Synephrine. Synephrine has been shown to be an effective stimulant. However. Lean System 7 fails to disclose how much Citrus aurantium. Thus, it is impossible for this Lean System 7 review to determine the effectiveness of Citrus aurantium in Lean System 7 diet pills.

Green tea is an effective diet pill ingredient which has been proven in clinical studies. Once again, Lean System 7 does not list how much green tea is included in their proprietary blend, so there is no way to know how much (or little) of it is included.

There is no scientific proof that dandelion contributes to weight loss.

Bioperine helps the body to absorb nutrients.

Lean System 7 Cost

Lean System 7 diet pills cost $39.99 for 90 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is very expensive and not worth your money.

Lean System 7 “research”

The Lean System 7 website talks about studies done on Lean System 7. They claim, “In a recent study using Lean System 7, one participant lost up to 19 lbs and reduced waist and hip circumferences by up to 4 1/2 inches, which is simply phenomenal!” What study draws conclusions from just one participant? This seems awfully suspect. There is no citation of when or where this study was done.

While Lean System 7 includes ingredients in a proprietary formula, they claim their ingredients are included in “the precise amount” shown to be effective in studies. They never say what this “precise amount” is.

Lean System 7 Guarantee

Lean System 7 diet pills have an “unconditional 100% 60-day money-back guarantee” (website). You can return either opened unopened bottles as long as you have your receipt. This seems to be a legitimate guarantee, unlike guarantees offered by many other diet pills.

Lean System 7 Conclusion

This Lean System 7 review finds this product is not worth your time or money. They are not honest about how much of each ingredient is included, and their so-called “research” is suspect. Read through our recommended products to find one that will work for you.

They also claim, “PatentLEAN® is an ephedra-free and caffeine-free weight loss supplement that has been proven in clinical trials to be:

• More effective than diet and exercise alone
• Derived from natural sources
• No Fen-Phen
• Not a stimulant
• No PPA (phenylpropanolamine)” (website)

This PatentLEAN review will explore the ingredients in PatentLEAN diet pills and will reveal how effective this product really is.

PatentLEAN Ingredients

3-Acetyl-7-Oxo-Dehydroepiandrosterone (7-Keto) 100 mg

7-KETO is a naturally occurring metabolite (metabolites break things down for use in the body) of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA serves as a precursor for the sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.

So how does 7-KETO help in weight loss?

In one study, participants exercised thee times per week for 45 minutes each time, ate an 1,800 calorie per day diet and was given either a placebo or 100mg of 7-KETO twice daily. After eight weeks, the KETO group lost an average of 6.34 pounds compared to the placebo group’s loss of 2.13 pounds.

There are no long-term studies available to show 7-KETO’s affect on humans. Some have concerns that it may cause heart palpitations. Others have even suggested maximum dosages of 5mg. As always, it is up for you to decide if you are comfortable supplementing with 7-KETO.

This PatentLEAN review finds that with 2 doses of PatentLEAN diet pills each day, there is enough 7-Keto to be effective in promoting weight loss (remember, we’re talking about a difference of 4 pounds over eight weeks — nothing jaw-dropping).

Cost of PatentLEAN

One bottle of 30 capsules of PatentLEAN diet pills will cost you $19.49. If you take the recommended dosage of 2 capsules per day,one bottle will last you 15 days.  This isn’t too terribly expensive.

A patent for PatentLEAN?

The PatentLEAN website states the following: “PatentLEAN® has been awarded a United States Patent for use in weight loss and weight management.”

However, in researching for this PatentLEAN review, we found there are no patents registered with the U.S. Patent office website under the name PatentLEAN. This makes us wonder if PatentLEAN is able to substantiate any of their other claims or if they are misleading customers about other aspects of their product as well.

PatentLEAN Conclusion

This PatentLEAN review finds that PatentLEAN does contain an effective amount of 7-Keto. 7-Keto has been shown to contribute to weight loss.  We do not like that PatentLEAN’s “United States Patent” (if there really is one) is impossible to find. It makes us question the honesty of PatentLEAN as a company overall.

Anadrox does contain several ingredients which have been clinically proven to contribute to weight loss at specific levels. However, like so many other diet pills, Anadrox fails to disclose how much of these ingredients are included. Thus, it is impossible to determine the effectiveness of Anadrox. This Anadrox review will explain just what this product includes and how it might affect you.

What are the ingredients in Anadrox?

The following ingredients are contained in one serving (4 capsules) of Anadrox diet pills

• Vitamin C (mg) 60
• Niacin (mg) 20
• Vitamin B6 (mg) 5
• Folate (mcg) 200
• Vitamin B12 (mcg) 250
• Copper (mg) 1
• Magnesium (mg) 1
• Chromium (mcg) 50
• *VasoTherm Pump mg 2638

*The Pump mg 1941
*The Burn mg 696

Ingredient Details:

Anadrox Review Conclusion

This Anadrox review has found that Anadrox does include several proven weight loss ingredients. However, they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. It could be a good product, but there is no way to be sure. Anadrox is extremely expensive. Save yourself money and possible disappointment by using a diet pill that is proven to work.
