<br />
This Fat Blaster review reveals the truth behind Fat Blaster, including the potential dangerous side effects associated with Fat Blaster.</p>
<h3>Fat Blaster Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/">Ginseng</a></strong> Extract has not been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Gingko Biloba Extract</strong> helps with memory function, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Proprietary Blend (500 mg)<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/">Advantra Z</a></strong> Citrus Aurantium contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. When looking at Synephrine, it is important to note the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. Unfortunately, Fat Blaster fails to list the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, there is no way for this Fat Blaster review to determine if the Synephrine (Advantra Z Citrus Aurantium) contained in Fat Blaster will actually cause weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana Extract</a></strong> has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. Fat Blaster does not contain either Damiana or Yerba Mate. This Fat Blaster review finds the Guarana in Fat Blaster will not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Ma Huang</strong> Extract is <strong>ephedra</strong>. While ephedra has been proven to be very effective at causing weight loss, it has also been banned by the FDA due to its very serious side effects, including death. We cannot recommend any diet pill containing ephedra. Therefore, we cannot recommend Fat Blaster. If you do decide to take Fat Blaster, be sure you know the risks and possible side effects associated with ephedra.<br />
<strong>Maltodextrin</strong> does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Magnesium Stearate</strong> does not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
Note: Fat Blaster is available with or without Ma Huang extract. Fat Blaster with Ma Huang is more likely to cause weight loss, but it does have the possibility of serious side effects. Fat Blaster without Ma Huang is more safe, but it will not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Fat Blaster Cost</h3>
<p>Fat Blaster diet pills cost $23.95 for 60 capsules. The website claims this 40% off; don&#8217;t be fooled, though. Many diet pill companies use this tactic to make you believe you are getting a great deal so you are more likely to buy the product.<br />
<br />
If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 6 per capsules per day, one bottle of Fat Blaster will last 10 days. In other words, you will spend over $70 per month on Fat Blaster. This is WAY too much for this product considering there is no evidence to prove that it actually works.</p>
<h3>Fat Blaster Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Fat Blaster review finds Fat Blaster diet pills are overpriced and will not cause weight loss. There is no scientific evidence to prove that Fat Blaster actually works. Don&#8217;t waste your time or money on Fat Blaster. Instead, go with a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts. Check out our recommended products.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/lipovoxhd.jpg" alt="lipovoxhd" title="lipovoxhd" width="77" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1410" />The makers of the original Lipovox have upped the ante by packing in even more ingredients and creating an even better diet pill: Lipovox Hardcore Detox.  Where Lipovox claims to &#8220;burn up to 400% more fat than with just diet and exercise alone&#8221;, Lipovox Hardcore Detox now claims to burn up to 900% more.  But just how different is new Lipovox Hardcore Detox formula?  Very different!</p>
<h2>Lipovox Hardcore Detox Ingredients</h2>
<p>Lipovox Hardcore Detox doesn&#8217;t just have a long name, it also has a long list of ingredients.  They&#8217;ve broken them down into a few different sections:</p>
<p><strong>Patented Ingredient Blend  (655mg)</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/tonalin-review/">Tonalin Cla</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/super-citrimax-review/">Super CitriMax</a><br />
Pinnothin<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/">Advantra-Z</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/neopuntia-review/">NeOpuntia</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phase-2-review/">Phase-2</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/7-keto-review/">7-Keto DHEA</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/">Forslean</a><br />
FucoPure</p>
<p><strong>SuperFood Blend (400mg)</strong><br />
Acai<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/">Cayenne</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/">Wheatgrass</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/">Garlic</a><br />
Lactbacillus Acidophilus<br />
Soybean Extract<br />
LinumLife Flaxseed Lignans<br />
Alfalfa<br />
Buckwheat</p>
<p><strong>Instant Detox Blend (710mg)</strong><br />
Dandelion Root<br />
Uva Ursi<br />
Buchu<br />
Celery Seed<br />
Psyllium Husk<br />
Lemon Balm<br />
Couchgrass<br />
Milk Thistle<br />
Parsley<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a></p>
<p><strong>Antioxidant Blend (400mg)</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> (50% caffeine)<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous</a><br />
DMAE<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/">Alpha Lipoic Acid</a></p>
<p>The short of it is that you&#8217;re getting a lot of high quality weight loss ingredients here.  They&#8217;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.</p>
<p>You can click on the ingredients above to read the full reviews of the ingredients.</p>
<p>With so many ingredients packed in, it&#8217;s no wonder they had to go from 60 capsules to 180!</p>
<p><strong>***Note***</strong></p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For more information on the FDA’s warning against Hydroxycut and possible dangers to the liver due to HCA, see the <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/hydroxycut-review/">Hydroxycut Review</a>.</p>
<h2>Great Money Back Guarantee</h2>
<p>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.  </p>
<h2>Not a Big Fan of the Marketing</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Price</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>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&#8217;m not able to recommend the diet pill.  The price is good and the guarantee is stellar.  If it weren&#8217;t for the HCA, I&#8217;d give Lipovox a green light.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/powerthin-phase2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-719" title="powerthin-phase2" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/powerthin-phase2.jpg" alt="" width="91" height="154" /></a>Power Thin Phase II is a &#8220;natural weight loss supplement scientifically formulated to increase calorie burning, mobilize stored body fat and help you have the energy you need to achieve the<strong> </strong>rapid weight loss you&#8217;re looking for&#8221; (website). This Power Thin Phase II review will detail the ingredients contained in Power Thin Phase II to help you see what you can really expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Power Thin Phase II Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The concentration of synephrine determines how effective it will be&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. Unfortunately, Power Thin Phase II fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Since Power Thin Phase II diet pills do not say how much caffeine they contain, it is impossible for this Power Thin Phase II review to determine if the caffeine included will be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is another proven weight loss ingredient. Again, Power Thin Phase II hides the amount of green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.</p>
<p>Cocoa seed extract is a feel good ingredient. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Maca</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Guarana</a>. However, Power Thin Phase II does not contain Damiana or Guarana.</p>
<p>Quercetin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>is used to treat memory problems related to age. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbine does contribute to weight loss, but Power Thin Phase II does not list how much Yohimbine it contains.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> HCL is supposed to break down fats. More research is needed to substantiate this claim.</p>
<p>Ginger root is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Gugulipid extract is supposed to increase thyroid function. More research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Power Thin Phase II diet pills contain enough Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>White willow bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Power Thin Phase II does include several clinically proven ingredients.

<h3>Power Thin Phase II Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Power Thin Phase II review finds Power Thin Phase II does include several clinically proven diet pill ingredients.

This Power Thin Phase II review will detail the ingredients contained in Power Thin Phase II to help you see what you can really expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Power Thin Phase II Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The concentration of synephrine determines how effective it will be&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. Unfortunately, Power Thin Phase II fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Since Power Thin Phase II diet pills do not say how much caffeine they contain, it is impossible for this Power Thin Phase II review to determine if the caffeine included will be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is another proven weight loss ingredient. Again, Power Thin Phase II hides the amount of green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.</p>
<p>Cocoa seed extract is a feel good ingredient. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Maca</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Guarana</a>. However, Power Thin Phase II does not contain Damiana or Guarana.</p>
<p>Quercetin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>is used to treat memory problems related to age. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbine does contribute to weight loss, but Power Thin Phase II does not list how much Yohimbine it contains.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> HCL is supposed to break down fats. More research is needed to substantiate this claim.</p>

They claim, &#8220;With JavaFit Diet Plus, you can increase metabolic rate, burn more fat, suppress your appetite and exercise longer&#8221; (website). This JavaFit Diet Plus review will examine the ingredients in JavaFit Diet Plus and help you see what you can really expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Hydroxycitric Acid Update</h3>
<p>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&#8217;s report</p>
<p>Common symptoms of liver complications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>jaundice (yellowing of the skin)</li>
<li>brown urine</li>
<li>light colored stools</li>
<li>unusual tiredness</li>
<li>stomach pain</li>
<li>itching</li>
<li>loss of appetite</li>
<li>weakness</li>
<li>vomiting</li>
</ul>
<p>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, &#8220;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.&#8221; you can never be too cautious.  </p>
<p>So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise <strong>any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</strong> </p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate</a> has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium picolinate contributes to weight loss, while other studies have shown the opposite.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since JavaFit Diet Plus fails to list how much garcinia cambogia it includes, it is impossible for this JavaFit Diet Plus review to determine if there is enough garcinia cambogia to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra-Z</a> contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. When it comes to synephrine, the important thing is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. JavaFit Diet Plus fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Extra Caffeine (1 mg) <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, 1 mg isn&#8217;t going to do much.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Cost</h3>
<p>JavaFit Diet Plus costs $24.99 for a 24 pack. If you drink the recommended 2 cups per day, one pack will last you 12 days. This is quite expensive for a diet product. This JavaFit Diet Plus review finds JavaFit Diet Plus does contain several proven ingredients, but they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. For real weight loss results, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in sufficient amounts.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Guarantee</h3>
<p>JavaFit Diet Plus offers a 30 day money back guarantee. If you want to return JavaFit Diet Plus, you must first contact customer service for a return authorization number. JavaFit Diet Plus must be returned in its original packaging for a refund, otherwise you will only be able exchange it for another product.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Marketing</h3>
<p>The JavaFit Diet Plus website does have some good information about the pros and cons of caffeine and coffee as well as research results about the effects of coffee. However, they fail to give enough detailed information about the product itself.</p>
<p>The JavaFit Diet Plus website contains the typical testimonials you see on every diet product website. Who&#8217;s to say whether the testimonials are genuine or fabricated in order to sell more of the product.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Conclusion</h3>
<p>This JavaFit Diet Plus review finds JavaFit Diet Plus is not worth your money. While it does contain some proven ingredients, Java Fit Diet Plus fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Do yourself a favor and look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<li>&#8220;Support metabolism</li>
<li>Support fat oxidation</li>
<li>Support optimal thyroid activity</li>
<li>Increase focus and alertness</li>
<li>Increase energy</li>
<li>Support mood</li>
<li>Increase norepinephrine, the &#8220;thermogenic&#8221; activator</li>
<li>Support cAMP-mediated fat breakdown&#8221; (website)</li>
<p>This 8-FX review will breakdown each of the ingredients contained 8-FX and explain the cost and guarantee (or lack thereof) associated with 8-FX to help you determine if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>8-FX Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(200 mcg) has been shown to cause weight loss in some clinical trials, but others have found that it does not.</p>
<ul><span style="x-small;"> </span></ul>
<p>Proprietary Blend for Focus, Energy and Mood Activators 585.5 mg</p>
<p>Neuravena Wild Green Oat Extract</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(50 mg per serving) does contribute to weight loss, but you are unlikely to see much of an effect from 50 mg.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE </a>is supposed to positively affect mood, but studies have shown some dangerous effects. More research is needed on DMAE.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend for Lipid Metabolism Activators 395.8 mg</p>
<p>Coleus Forskolii does contribute to weight loss, but 8-FX does not say how much coleus forskolii it contains.</p>
<p>Raspberry Ketones have been shown to cause weight loss in mice when included as 1% of the total diet. To get 1% of your total diet as raspberry ketones you would most likely have to take dozens of 8-FX diet pills. DO NOT TAKE MORE 8-FX DIET PILLS THAN RECOMMENDED! More human research needs to be done on raspberry ketones.</p>
<p>Evodia Extract has proven to cause weight loss in mice, but more human research is needed to determine its effect on human weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The important thing with synephrine is the concentration (the higher the better). Unfortunately, 8-FX fails to disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> is a clinically proven diet pill. To be effective, green tea has to be taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. It is extremely unlikely that 8-FX contains enough green tea to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Cnidium Extract is supposed to help circulation, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">7-Methyoxy-8-Isopentenoxycoumarin</span></span></p>
<p>Yohimbe mobilizes fatty acid, causing weight loss. 8-FX hides the amount of yohimbe it contains, making it impossible for this 8-FX review to determine if there is enough yohimbe to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><span class="seq_span label_ing">Japanese Knotweed Extract </span></span></p>
<h3>8-FX Cost</h3>
<p>The cost of 8-FX is $47.89 for 80 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is expensive for a diet pill. Although 8-FX does contain several clinically proven ingredients, they are included in proprietary blends (which usually means there is very little of each ingredient included).</p>
<h3>8-FX Guarantee</h3>
<p>Medical Research Institute (MRI) is the manufacturer of 8-FX diet pills. The MRI website has details of 8-FX, but it says nothing about a product guarantee. They have a customer service phone number listed on the website, but when we called to ask about a guarantee, the only options given by the automated system were to enter an extension or hang up. Thus, we cannot say whether 8-FX has a guarantee or not. It does seem strange that contacting the company is so difficult.</p>
<h3>8-FX Conclusion</h3>
<p>This 8-FX review finds that while 8-FX does contain several clinically proven diet pills, it fails to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is necessary to be able to compare products against each other and against the clinical trials. We recommend finding a diet pill that lists the amounts of all their ingredients and includes the proper amounts of proven ingredients.</p>

Thus, we cannot say whether 8-FX has a guarantee or not. It does seem strange that contacting the company is so difficult.</p>
<h3>8-FX Conclusion</h3>
<p>This 8-FX review finds that while 8-FX does contain several clinically proven diet pills, it fails to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is necessary to be able to compare products against each other and against the clinical trials. We recommend finding a diet pill that lists the amounts of all their ingredients and includes the proper amounts of proven ingredients.</p>

This AccuSlim review will unravel these claims to help you see the truth behind what you can expect from AccuSlim diet pills.</p>
<h3>Hydroxycitric Acid Update</h3>
<p>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&#8217;s report</p>
<p>Common symptoms of liver complications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>jaundice (yellowing of the skin)</li>
<li>brown urine</li>
<li>light colored stools</li>
<li>unusual tiredness</li>
<li>stomach pain</li>
<li>itching</li>
<li>loss of appetite</li>
<li>weakness</li>
<li>vomiting</li>
</ul>
<p>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, &#8220;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.&#8221; you can never be too cautious.  </p>
<p>So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise <strong>any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</strong> </p>
<h3><span style="small;"><span>AccuSlim Ingredients<br />
</span></span></h3>
<p>Chromium Chelavite (300 mcg) has been studied in many clinical trials. Results have been mixed; some have shown that <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >chromium </a>contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.</p>
<p>Vanadium (100 mcg) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra-Z</a> (600 mg) contains Synephrine, which contributes to weight loss. The important thing with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. Unfortunately, AccuSlim fails to disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (400 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. This AccuSlim review finds there is enough green tea in AccuSlim to contribute to weight loss. Green tea contains caffeine. Be sure to evaluate your own reaction to caffeine before taking AccuSlim diet pills.</p>
<p>Oriental <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/" >ginseng </a>(200 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice; however, more human research is needed.</p>
<p>American <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/" >ginseng </a>(200 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice; however, more human research is needed.</p>
<p>Eleuthero (250 mg) is supposed to increase endurance; it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea (300 mg) is a &#8220;feel good&#8221; ingredient. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (1500 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>The AccuSlim website claims, &#8220;<span style="small;"><span>Designed to get even the most stubborn metabolisms moving, the ACCUSLIM™ Advanced Fat Burner contains some of the most well-known and most-effective—but hardly used— weight loss nutrients available today.&#8221;</span></span> The only proven ingredients included in sufficient amounts are green tea and garcinia cambogia. Despite what AccuSlim claims, these ingredients are quite common and can be found for a much lower price.</p>
<h3>AccuSlim Cost</h3>
<p>AccuSlim costs $28.95 for 90 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 9 capsules per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. You can get the same results with a different diet pill for a fraction of the price.</p>
<h3>AccuSlim Guarantee</h3>
<p><span style="small;">The AccuSlim website says the following regarding their guarantee:</span></p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="small;">Please call us                                                             during our normal                                                             business hours for                                                             return authorization                                                             prior to returning                                                             any merchandise.

<p>Credit will be                                                             issued for                                                             merchandise returned                                                             within 10 days of                                                             your receipt of                                                             shipment. A 15%                                                             restocking fee will                                                             be applied to                                                             returns after 10                                                             days. Product                                                             returns cannot be                                                             accepted after 30                                                             days. Orders                                                             returned without                                                             authorization are                                                             subject to 15%                                                             restock fee.&#8221;</p>
<p>This &#8220;guarantee&#8221; is ridiculous. The restocking fee should not be there, and they really should give more than 30 days to return the product.</p>
<h3>AccuSlim Follies</h3>
<p>I found some interesting things when looking at the AccuSlim website. One of their instructions is, &#8220;Do not snack after dinner.&#8221; Anyone who has ever tried to diet knows that is one of the main dieting rules. Why do they think that people need to diet (obviously because they have been snacking after dinner too much). If AccuSlim contained an appetite suppressant they wouldn&#8217;t have to make this statement.</p>
<p>Another folly is that, according to their website, AccuSlim &#8220;could be even more effective than Ephedra&#8221;. Don&#8217;t be fooled. If this were the truth, everyone would be buying AccuSlim. The science just doesn&#8217;t support this claim.</p>
<h3>AccuSlim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This AccuSlim review finds AccuSlim is really nothing special. True, it does contain green tea and garcinia cambogia in adequate amounts, but so do several other diet pills (and for much less cost). We recommend looking at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> USP is merely dried caffeine. Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, Adipo-X fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough caffeine to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> AKG does contribute to weight loss. However, it has to be taken in doses of 500-1500 mg per day. It is VERY unlikely that Adipo-X contains enough L-Tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Raspberry Ketones 99% have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice. No human research has been done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> (Citrus Aurantium 30%) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The important thing with Synephrine is the concentration (the higher the better). Adipo-X lists the concentration of Citrus Aurantium but not the concentration of Synephrine.</p>
<p>Capsaicin Extract (Cayenne) can improve circulation and digestion. However, more research needs to be done to determine the effectiveness in weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbe PE (8% Yohimbine) does cause weight loss, but once again Adipo-X diet pills do not list how much Yohimbe they contain.</p>
<p>Paprika Extract</p>
<p>Ginger Root Extract (20% Gingerols)</p>
<p>Coleus Forskholi (40% Forskolin) does contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 250 mg per day. Adipo-X does not say how much coleus forskholi it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is another clinically proven diet pill. Since Adipo-X hides how much green tea it contains, it is impossible for this Adipo-X review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>aids in the absorption of nutrients; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>You will notice that Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included. This makes it impossible to know how effective Adipo-X diet pills will actually be.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Cost</h3>
<p>Adipo-X diet pills cost $39.96 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 40 days. This is not expensive for a diet pill, but considering Adipo-X does not list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to know how effective Adipo-X will be. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for Adipo-X.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Marketing</h3>
<p>The Adipo-X website says, &#8220;If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase of Adipo-X, return  the bottle with your invoice or receipt for a full refund.&#8221; They do not give any further information about their guarantee; they do not say how much time you have to return the product or if you will be charged a restocking fee.</p>
<p>The Adipo-X website mentions a free trial. However, they do not give any information on what the trial is or what strings are attached to the free trial.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Adipo-X review finds Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden. Thus, we recommend looking for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

It is specifically designed for women. This Slim Seduction review will explore the confusion of the Slim Seduction website and explain the ingredients in Slim Seduction diet pills to help you make an informed decision.</p>
<h3>Slim Seduction Ingredients</h3>
<p>Guarana 227 mg<br />
Yerba Mate 250 mg<br />
Calcium 200 mg<br />
Advantra Z (10% synephrine) 150 mg<br />
Dandelion powder 125 mg<br />
Green tea 180 mg<br />
Cayenne 30 mg<br />
Guggul 20 mg<br />
Niacin 20 mg<br />
Chromium 100 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana and Yerba Mate</a> have been shown to contribute to weight loss but ONLY when combined with Damiana. You will notice Slim Seduction diet pills DO NOT include Damiana.</p>
<p>Calcium has been shown to have many healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The higher the percentage of synephrine, the more effective it is in causing weight loss. The 10 percent concentration of synephrine in Slim Seduction is likely to little to cause any significant weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to cause weight loss. However, studies have shown green tea has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day in order to be effective. Thus, this Slim Seduction review finds there is not enough green tea in Slim Seduction to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Guggul (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >gugglesterones</a>) are supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. Studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> is said by some studies to contribute to weight loss. However, other studies have found chromium does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Slim Seduction Free Trial</h3>
<p>Slim Seduction offers a 21 day free trial. You have to take a survey to qualify for the free trial. After you answer a few generic questions about weight and exercise you are told if you qualify (we entered the answers that would obviously qualify for the free trial). You can only get specific information on Slim Seduction once you qualify for the free trial.</p>
<p>You have 15 minutes to accept the free trial (there is even a clock counting down the time). The interesting thing is once the clock expires you can refresh the page and start the clock again. To get you to accept the free trial, Slim Seduction claims there are &#8220;only a few bottles left&#8221;. If this is really the case, why the count down? Probably because there are more than a few bottles&#8211;they just want you to think you are getting something very desirable.</p>
<p>Once you sign up for the free trial, you are automatically enrolled in autoship (they ship you new product every month and bill your credit card automatically). This is just another downside to Slim Seduction.</p>
<h3>Slim Seduction Cost</h3>
<p>The Slim Seduction website is very confusing about the cost of Slim Seduction diet pills. In one place they say if you sign up for the free trial you will get a 180 day supply for $143.88; this equals $23.98 per month. In another place they say the cost is $42.95 per month. This discrepency is not explained since you can&#8217;t get to the ordering screen unless you qualify for the free trial. Regardless of the cost, Slim Seduction does contain some proven ingredients, but there is not enough of any ingredient to be effective. Thus, this Slim Seduction review finds any amount for Slim Seduction is too much.</p>
<h3>Slim Seduction Guarantee</h3>
<p>Slim Seduction has a 30 day money back guarantee on first time purchases only. The Slim Seduction website explains, &#8220;Auto-Delivery shipments are not refundable but they can be exchanged for 150% credit towards any of our other 15 GNS products found at www.Global-Nutrition.com.&#8221;</p>
<h3>Slim Seduction &#8220;Proof&#8221;</h3>
<p>The Slim Seduction website is packed with unbelievable testimonials and Before &amp; After photos. One of the FAQs on the website asks if there is proof that Slim Seduction works. The answer is that there are more pictures and testimonials. Come on, since when can doctored pictures and exaggerated claims be taken as proof?</p>
<h3>Slim Seduction Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slim Seduction review finds Slim Seduction is shady and ineffective. Slim Seduction does contain a few proven ingredients, but none of them is included in proven amounts. The cost, free trial, and guarantee just add to the outrageous claims in making Slim Seduction an undesirable product. Look for a product with proven ingredients in proven amounts, one that proves itself through science instead of testimonials.</p>

Detoxatrim is made specifically for women. This Detoxatrim review will detail the ingredients in Detoxatrim and help you decide if Detoxatrim is the right choice for you.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Ingredients</h3>
<p>The Detoxatrim system contains two parts: a 24-Hour Fat Flush and Detoxatrim Daily Capsules</p>
<p>24-Hour Fat Flush Ingredients<br />
Apple, white grape, orange, blueberry, grape, strawberry, peach, pear, carrots, tomato, celery, spinach, yellow pepper.</p>
<p>While these ingredients are very healthy and give essential vitamins and minerals, it is unlikely that there will be any noticeable change in your body within 24-hours of taking the 24-Hour Fat Flush (unless it gives you the runs).</p>
<p><strong>Detoxatrim Daily Capsule Ingredients</strong><br />
Acidophilus, Bifidus, FOS (Fructooligosaccharides)<br />
Caprylic acid<br />
Glutamine<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/" >Glucomannan</a> is a dietary fiber. It makes the body feel full, which can lead to weight loss. Studies have found that to be effective, glucomannan needs to be taken in doses of 1-2 grams per day. Detoxatrim does not list how much glucomannan is contained in the formula.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> has shown contradictory results in clinical studies; some studies have found chromium contributes to weight loss, while other studies have found it does not.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra-Z</a> contains Synephrine, which has been shown to cause weight loss. Unfortunately, Detoxatrim diet pills fail to reveal how much Advantra-Z is contained in the formula, making it impossible for this Detoxatrim review to determine if the Advantra-Z in Detoxatrim is enough to be effective.<br />
Green tea is another clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Again, Detoxatrim fails to say how much green tea is contained.<br />
Grapefruit Extract<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
Papaya<br />
Uva Ursi</p>
<p>This long list of ingredients can be overwhelming. Don&#8217;t be fooled&#8211;just because a diet pill has dozens of ingredients doesn&#8217;t mean it is more effective than others. In fact, a long list of ingredients often means the diet pill company is being cheap by including only a very small amount of each ingredient.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Cost</h3>
<p>Detoxatrim diet pills cost $21.95 for 112 capsules (a one-month supply). The 24-Hour Fat Flush costs $14.99 for a one-month supply. The links on the Detoxatrim website are all functioning except the link to purchase the products. You would think they would be sure this link was working.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Claims</h3>
<p>Detoxatrim claims it is a &#8220;long-term weight loss solution&#8221; (website). They really emphasize the importance of detoxing your system. However, they also say you have to keep detoxing your system, so how is that a long-term solution? They want you to believe Detoxatrim is a unique product that will give you unmatched results. The truth is Detoxatrim is really no different than dozens of other diet pills.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Detoxatrim review finds that Detoxatrim is nothing special. The 24-Hour Fat Flush will most likely only give you the runs. The Detoxatrim diet pills do contain some proven ingredients, but they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. Your best bet for weight loss is to take a diet pill that includes clinically proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

Studies have found that to be effective, glucomannan needs to be taken in doses of 1-2 grams per day. Detoxatrim does not list how much glucomannan is contained in the formula.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> has shown contradictory results in clinical studies; some studies have found chromium contributes to weight loss, while other studies have found it does not.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra-Z</a> contains Synephrine, which has been shown to cause weight loss. Unfortunately, Detoxatrim diet pills fail to reveal how much Advantra-Z is contained in the formula, making it impossible for this Detoxatrim review to determine if the Advantra-Z in Detoxatrim is enough to be effective.<br />
Green tea is another clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Again, Detoxatrim fails to say how much green tea is contained.<br />
Grapefruit Extract<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
Papaya<br />
Uva Ursi</p>
<p>This long list of ingredients can be overwhelming. Don&#8217;t be fooled&#8211;just because a diet pill has dozens of ingredients doesn&#8217;t mean it is more effective than others. In fact, a long list of ingredients often means the diet pill company is being cheap by including only a very small amount of each ingredient.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Cost</h3>
<p>Detoxatrim diet pills cost $21.95 for 112 capsules (a one-month supply). The 24-Hour Fat Flush costs $14.99 for a one-month supply. The links on the Detoxatrim website are all functioning except the link to purchase the products. You would think they would be sure this link was working.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Claims</h3>
<p>Detoxatrim claims it is a &#8220;long-term weight loss solution&#8221; (website). They really emphasize the importance of detoxing your system. However, they also say you have to keep detoxing your system, so how is that a long-term solution? They want you to believe Detoxatrim is a unique product that will give you unmatched results. The truth is Detoxatrim is really no different than dozens of other diet pills.</p>
<h3>Detoxatrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Detoxatrim review finds that Detoxatrim is nothing special. The 24-Hour Fat Flush will most likely only give you the runs. The Detoxatrim diet pills do contain some proven ingredients, but they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. Your best bet for weight loss is to take a diet pill that includes clinically proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

This Herbalean FX review will explore the ingredients contained in Herbalean FX as well as the marketing strategies behind this product.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Ingredients</h2>
<p>Proprietary HerbaLean Fx™ Blend	1450mg	*<br />
Advantra Z® Bitter Orange Extract<br />
Green Tea Extract<br />
South African Hoodia<br />
Seromine™ (Proprietary Cocoa Extract Standardized For PEA [Phenylethylamine], Tyramine, Theobromine And Caffeine)<br />
Neuroplex™ (Proprietary Blend Of L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Tyrosine),<br />
Isoplex™ (Proprietary Blend Of 3,3&#8242;,4&#8242;,5-7 Pentahydroxy-Flavone And 3,3&#8242;,4&#8242;,7-Tetrahydroxyflavone).<br />
HerbaLean Fx™ Potentiator Blend	130mg	*<br />
Baical Skullcap Root And Black Catechu Bark<br />
Black Pepper Fruit Extract</p>
<p>Naringin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> is made of Synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Herbalean FX includes Advantra Z in a proprietary blend, so there is no way for this Herbalean FX review to determine if there is enough Advantra Z in Herbalean FX diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. Again, Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia</a>, despite popular belief, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss. Do not be fooled by the gimmicky claims about hoodia; it won&#8217;t do anything for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >PEA (Phenylethylamine)</a> is often called &#8220;The Love Drug&#8221;. However, it is metabolized very quickly, so it may not actually have any effect. More human research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >Tyrosine</a> is an amino acid used to synthesize proteins. It is found in many dairy products. Research has shown Tyrosine contributes to weight loss. However, Tyrosine must be taken at 500 to 1500 mg per day to be effective. Herbalean FX does not disclose how much Tyrosine is contained in the proprietary blend. It is unlikely that there is enough Tyrosine in Herbalean FX to be effective.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Cost</h2>
<p>Herbalean FX diet pills cost $23.99 for 120 capsules (this was the least expensive price we found online by far). If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last one month. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, but since Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included, it is impossible to know if Herbalean FX will be effective. Thus, any price for Herbalean FX would be too expensive.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Marketing</h2>
<p>The Herbalean FX website shows pictures of &#8220;Kaizen Sponsored Athletes&#8221; (Kaizen is the manufacturer of Herbalean FX). They do not explain who these people are&#8211;if they took Herbalean FX or why they are featured on the website. Most of the &#8220;sponsored athletes&#8221; look like bodybuilders. Like so many other diet pill companies, Kaizen uses unbelievable photos and testimonials to sell Herbalean FX diet pills.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Conclusion</h2>
<p>This Herbalean FX review finds Herbalean FX does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. However, they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, it is impossible for this Herbalean FX review to determine how effective this product will be. Don&#8217;t make the gamble; use a product that you can be confident will work. Look at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>
