Just how does Adipril work? This Adipril review will help you see just how Adipril does (or does not) cause weight loss.  </p>
<h3>Adipril Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/">GuggulEZ100</a></strong> is supposed to increase thyroid function, causing weight loss. However, clinical studies have shown varying results.<br />
<strong>Razberi-K</strong> is also known as <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">raspberry ketones</a>. While it has been shown to contribute to weight loss in rodents, there have not been human studies done on Razberi-K.<br />
<strong>FucoPure</strong> is brown seaweed. It has not been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>ThermoDiamine</strong> (Evodiamine) is another diet pill ingredient that has been proven effective in causing weight loss in mice. Once again, though, it has not been proven to cause weight loss in humans; more human research is needed.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/">ForsLean</a></strong> is supposed to increase lean body mass. This Adipril review finds that when combined with other proven diet pill ingredients, ForsLean can be effective at causing weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">BioPerine</a></strong> helps the body absorb more nutrients. While this can help with overall health, there is no proof that it directly contributes to weight loss.<br />
<br />
You will notice that the only Adipril ingredient that will actually contribute to weight loss is ForsLean, and it is effective when combined with other effective ingredients (which are not contained in Adipril diet pills). Therefore, this review finds the ingredients in Adipril will not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Adipril Cost</h3>
<p>Adipril diet pills cost $49.99 per bottle. Each bottle lasts one month. The website claims you save $50 off the retail price of $99.99. Don&#8217;t be too impressed by this. It is pretty common for diet pill companies to claim you are saving big bucks in order to get you to buy the product.<br />
<br />
Adipril does offer a discount for bulk purchases. No matter the cost, Adipril is too expensive, considering there is no scientific proof that Adipril will actually contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Adipril Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Adipril website claims they have a 100% Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee. They do not give specific details on their guarantee.<br />
<br />
Even if it is a legitimate guarantee, we do not recommend using Adipril because you will definitely need to use the guarantee. Save yourself some time and grief by going with a diet pill that includes ingredients proven to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Adipril Testimonials</h3>
<p>The Adipril website contains several testimonials from supposed Adipril customers. The problem with testimonials is that they are way too easy to fabricate; there is no way of knowing if they are real or not. </p>
<h3>Adipril Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Adipril review finds Adipril is not worth your time or money. There is no scientific evidence to show Adipril will actually cause any weight loss. Although Adipril does offer a guarantee, due to the lack of clinical support, we recommend looking elsewhere for a diet pill. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. </p>

This Nuphedra review will detail the ingredients in Nuphedra and help you determine if Nuphedra is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Ingredients</h3>
<p>Serving size 2 capsules<br />
<strong>Vitamin C</strong> 30 mg<br />
<strong>Vitamin E</strong> 15 mg<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium Polynicotinate</a></strong> (300 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.<br />
<strong>Vitamin B12</strong> 100 mcg<br />
<strong>Niacin</strong> 20 mg<br />
<strong>Vitamin B6</strong> 25 mg<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a></strong> (250 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Therefore, if you take the recommended 4-6 capsules per day, you will be getting plenty of green tea to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Oolong tea</strong> (150 mg) does contain caffeine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/">Phenylethylamine</a></strong> (50 mg) is a feel good ingredient; it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/">Cayenne</a></strong> 100 mg<br />
<strong>Razberri-K</strong> (75 mg) is also known as <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">raspberry ketones</a>. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice, but more human research is needed.<br />
<strong>Thermodiamine</strong> (Evodiamine) (10 mg) has been proven to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.<br />
<strong>Lipolide-SC</strong> (10 mg) increases fat burning capabilities.<br />
<strong>Yohimbine</strong> (2 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Green Coffee Bean</strong> Extract (50 mg) has been shown to inhibit weight gain, but only in mice. Again, more human research is needed.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a></strong> 100 mg<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine</a></strong> (20 mg) is a great diet pill ingredient. However, the important thing to note is the concentration of synephrine contained&#8211;the higher the better. Unfortunately, Nuphedra fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this Nuphedra review to determine if the concentration of synephrine of contained is enough to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">Bioperine</a></strong> (5 mg) helps the body absorb more nutrients. There is no evidence that it directly contributes to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/">Vinpocetine</a></strong> (2.5 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Dandelion</strong> 300 mg<br />
<strong>Uva Ursi </strong>(150 mg) is used to treat bladder infections and arthritis; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Cost</h3>
<p>Nuphedra diet pills cost $61.95 for a 30 day supply. This Nuphedra review finds Nuphedra is on the expensive side compared to other diet pills. Nuphedra does contain some great diet pill ingredients, but you can find a diet pill that is just as effective while costing you a lot less.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Guarantee</h3>
<p>Is there a guarantee on Nuphedra diet pills? Well, the Nuphedra website is currently not working and you can&#8217;t order directly from the manufacturer at this point. Some retailers offer their own guarantee on products they sell. Be sure to check with the individual retailer to know if there is a guarantee.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Nuphedra review finds Nuphedra contains some excellent diet pill ingredients in the necessary amounts. The only downfall to Nuphedra is the price.  Nephedra should be effective in helping with weight loss.  Can you find cheaper alternatives? Probably.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/quicktrim-burn-and-cleanse.jpg" alt="quicktrim burn and cleanse" title="quicktrim burn and cleanse" width="96" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1900" />QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse is a 14 day diet system that is &#8220;designed to totally transform your body&#8221; (website). This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review will sift through the dozens of ingredients and help you see QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse for what it really is.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Ingredients</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse is a 3 part system. The following are the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse.</p>
<h4><strong>-Iso-Burn AM Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Niacin 20 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a> 200 mcg<br />
<br />
<em>QT Capsimax Thermogenic Complex 244 mg</em><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is a good diet pill ingredient, but QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not reveal how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.<br />
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract<br />
Metabromine Cocoa Extract is an appetite suppressant. It needs more clinical backing.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">Bioperine</a> helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no evidence to suggest it causes weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Super Antioxidant Thermo Catalyst Complex 233 mg</em><br />
Blueberry, Blackberry, Transresveratrol, White Willow Bark, Acai<br />
These ingredients do not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Iso-Burn Fatloss Activator 415 mg</em><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Leaf Extract does contribute to weight loss. However, in order for green tea to be effective it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">Raspberry Ketones</a> has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human testing is needed.<br />
Mucuna Pruriens<br />
Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. However, once again, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not say how much Banaba Leaf it contains.<br />
Sclareolide<br />
Acetyl-l-carnitine<br />
QT Detox Cleansing Complex 100 mg<br />
Black Walnut Hull, Grapefruit Seed, Pau D&#8217;arco Bark, Pumpkin Seed, Myrrh Gum Powder, Hyssop, Gentian Root, Elecampane Root, Prickly Ash Bark, Yellow Dock Root, False Unicorn Root<br />
<br />
None of these ingredients contributes to weight loss.</p>
<h4><strong>Iso-Cleanse PM Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Dietary Fiber 2 g<br />
<br />
<em>Iso-Cleanse Herbal Complex 2200 mg</em><br />
Oat Fiber, Cellulose, Senna Leaf, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe Ferrox, Rhubarb, Prune Powder, Carob, Apple Fruit, Tamarind Extract, Date Fruit, Fig Fruit</p>
<p>NONE of the ingredients in Iso-Cleanse PM have been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h4><strong>Iso-Flush Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Vitamin B6 50 mg<br />
Magnesium 100 mg<br />
Potassium 100 mg<br />
Herbal Blend 1000 mg<br />
Buchu Leaf<br />
Cornsilk Stylus<br />
Couchgrass Rhisome<br />
Hydrangea Root<br />
Juniper Berry<br />
Uva Ursi has been shown to cause drug interactions when combined with diuretics like Buchu Leaf.<br />
Horsetail Extract<br />
<br />
None of these ingredients has been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Proprietary Blend 156 mg</em><br />
Dandelion Root<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> is a very effective diet pill ingredient, but only when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.<br />
<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. Because QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not contain either Damiana or Yerba Mate, this QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse finds the Guarana in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
So, overall, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, but it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Cost</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse costs $59.99 for a 14 day supply. This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since there is no proof that QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will actually work. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review finds this product is not worth your time or money. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but the amounts of each ingredient are undisclosed. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review will sift through the dozens of ingredients and help you see QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse for what it really is.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Ingredients</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse is a 3 part system. The following are the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse.</p>
<h4><strong>-Iso-Burn AM Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Niacin 20 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a> 200 mcg<br />
<br />
<em>QT Capsimax Thermogenic Complex 244 mg</em><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is a good diet pill ingredient, but QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not reveal how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.<br />
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract<br />
Metabromine Cocoa Extract is an appetite suppressant. It needs more clinical backing.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">Bioperine</a> helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no evidence to suggest it causes weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Super Antioxidant Thermo Catalyst Complex 233 mg</em><br />
Blueberry, Blackberry, Transresveratrol, White Willow Bark, Acai<br />
These ingredients do not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Iso-Burn Fatloss Activator 415 mg</em><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Leaf Extract does contribute to weight loss. However, in order for green tea to be effective it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">Raspberry Ketones</a> has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human testing is needed.<br />
Mucuna Pruriens<br />
Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. However, once again, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not say how much Banaba Leaf it contains.<br />
Sclareolide<br />
Acetyl-l-carnitine<br />
QT Detox Cleansing Complex 100 mg<br />
Black Walnut Hull, Grapefruit Seed, Pau D&#8217;arco Bark, Pumpkin Seed, Myrrh Gum Powder, Hyssop, Gentian Root, Elecampane Root, Prickly Ash Bark, Yellow Dock Root, False Unicorn Root<br />
<br />
None of these ingredients contributes to weight loss.</p>
<h4><strong>Iso-Cleanse PM Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Dietary Fiber 2 g<br />
<br />
<em>Iso-Cleanse Herbal Complex 2200 mg</em><br />
Oat Fiber, Cellulose, Senna Leaf, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe Ferrox, Rhubarb, Prune Powder, Carob, Apple Fruit, Tamarind Extract, Date Fruit, Fig Fruit</p>
<p>NONE of the ingredients in Iso-Cleanse PM have been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h4><strong>Iso-Flush Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Vitamin B6 50 mg<br />
Magnesium 100 mg<br />
Potassium 100 mg<br />
Herbal Blend 1000 mg<br />
Buchu Leaf<br />

Juniper Berry<br />
Uva Ursi has been shown to cause drug interactions when combined with diuretics like Buchu Leaf.<br />
Horsetail Extract<br />
<br />
None of these ingredients has been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Proprietary Blend 156 mg</em><br />
Dandelion Root<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> is a very effective diet pill ingredient, but only when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.<br />
<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. Because QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not contain either Damiana or Yerba Mate, this QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse finds the Guarana in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
So, overall, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, but it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Cost</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse costs $59.99 for a 14 day supply. This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since there is no proof that QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will actually work. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review finds this product is not worth your time or money. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but the amounts of each ingredient are undisclosed. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

This QuickTrim Extreme Burn review will detail the ingredients in QuickTrim Extreme Burn to help you decide if this is the product for you. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Extreme Burn Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>Vitamin C</strong> (250 mg) is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Niacin</strong> (20 mg) does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a></strong> (200 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.<br />
<br />
<strong>QT Capsimax Super Thermo Complex 225 mg</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous</a></strong> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, QuickTrim Extreme Burn fails to list exactly how much caffeine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this QuickTrim Extreme Burn review to determine if there is enough caffeine in QuickTrim Extreme Burn to cause weight loss.<br />
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit is <strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/">cayenne</a> pepper</strong>. More research is needed to determine the effect of capsicum on weight loss.<br />
<strong>Metabromine</strong> is an appetite suppressant. This is another ingredient that needs more clinical backing.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">Bioperine</a></strong> increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. There is no research to suggest that Bioperine directly contributes to weight loss, but absorbing nutrients better is probably a good thing.<br />
<br />
<strong>Super C3G Lipolytic Complex (145 mg)</strong><br />
<strong>Raspberry</strong><br />
<strong>Blackberry</strong><br />
<strong>Blueberry</strong><br />
<strong>Acai Fruit Extract</strong><br />
<strong>Trans-resveratrol</strong><br />
<strong>Maqui Fruit</strong><br />
<strong>Grape</strong><br />
<strong>Pomegranate</strong><br />
<strong>Cherry</strong><br />
The ingredients in the Super C3G Lipolytic Complex contain anti-oxidants, which are important to good health. However, none of these ingredients have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Acai is especially popular right now, but don&#8217;t be fooled by the celebrity endorsements and bold claims made about acai. There is NO scientific evidence to show that acai does anything to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">Raspberry Ketones</a></strong> (75 mg) have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice. Will it cause weight loss in humans? Possibly.<br />
<br />
<strong>Extreme Fatloss Catalyst Complex (207 mg)</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a></strong> is an excellent, clinically proven diet pill ingredient. To be effective, green tea has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. QuickTrim Extreme Burn fails to list how much green tea it contains, but considering there are only 207 mg total in the Extreme Fatloss Catalyst Complex, this QuickTrim Extreme Burn review finds there is no way QuickTrim Extreme Burn contains enough green tea to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>N-acetyl-L-tyrosine</strong> causes weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Again, there is not nearly enough <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">tyrosine</a> in QuickTrim Extreme Burn diet pills to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Sensoril Ashwagandha</strong><br />
<strong>Cinnamon Bark Extract</strong><br />
<strong>Banaba Leaf Extract</strong> has been proven to lower blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Since QuickTrim Extreme Burn fails to list how much banaba it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough banaba in QuickTrim Extreme Burn to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Gymnema Sylvestre</strong> also helps control blood sugar levels.<br />
<strong>Sclariolide</strong><br />
<strong>White Willow Bark Extract</strong> is an anti-inflammatory; it does not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
The gist on the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Extreme Burn is that there are a few clinically proven ingredients included. However, it&#8217;s difficult to know if they are included in the necessary amounts.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Extreme Burn Cost</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Extreme Burn is sold exclusively by GNC and costs $49.99. While this is a medium-high price for a diet pill, being that there isn&#8217;t much reason to believe QuickTrim Extreme Burn will actually cause weight loss, I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s too much.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Extreme Burn Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickTrim Extreme Burn review finds QuickTrim Extreme Burn is not worth your time or money. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but not in the necessary amounts. If you really want to lose weight, go for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/greenteahp.jpg" alt="greenteahp" title="greenteahp" width="160" height="134" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1312" />Green Tea HP is a fairly new weight loss/wellness product to hit the market.  It appears to have originally been sold through shopping mall kiosks, but have since moved to a network marketing sales model (more on that later).  </p>
<p>Green tea has long been seen as an effective weight loss ingredient, so how does the product Green Tea HP stand up against the competition?  Read on to find out.</p>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<p><strong>Green Tea</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a> is a solid weight loss ingredient that is backed by loads of research and clinical studies.  Green tea contains caffeine, so those that are particularly sensitive to caffeine should take note.  </p>
<p><strong>Acai</strong> &#8211; Acai has become quite popular as of late, mostly due to the marketing hype of diet pill companies and not due to the actual weight loss potential of the ingredient.  It is a great antioxidant and a healthy supplement to take, but it will do little to actually cause you to lose weight.</p>
<p><strong>Noni Juice</strong> &#8211; Noni is a tropical fruit (technical name is morinda citrifolia) that some believe has various health benefits.  </p>
<p><strong>Pomegranate Juice</strong> &#8211; Also contains antioxidants that help overall health, but will cause no weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Resveratrol</strong> &#8211; A phytoalexin found in the skin of red grapes, resveratrol has many health benefits.  Its effectiveness in weight loss has yet to be determined.</p>
<p><strong>L-Theanine</strong> &#8211; An amino acid, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/">l-theanine</a> has been shown to help reduce stress.  Often diet pills will include l-theanine to counteract effects of stimulants such as caffeine.  Will it cause weight loss? No.</p>
<p><strong>Bioperine</strong> &#8211; A thermonutrient, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">bioperine</a> helps to absorb nutrients.  While it won&#8217;t cause weight loss, it may help in the absorption of ingredients that will.  </p>
<p>Looking at the ingredient profile, the only real ingredient that will cause weight loss is green tea.  The other ingredients are basically support ingredients.  This isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing since green tea is such a highly effective weight loss ingredient.</p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Marketing</h2>
<p>What I do like about the Green Tea HP website is that they actually have a fair amount of information concerning the studies that back up their claims about the health benefits.  In most cases they provide a listing of citations allowing you to verify the results of the study for yourself.</p>
<p>What I don&#8217;t like about the marketing (and mostly the marketing of other websites pushing Green Tea HP) is that they claim to have about every health benefit under the sun.  Just be wise of the fact that while the product is likely to have numerous health benefits, it&#8217;s certainly not the miracle product that will solve all your health problems, (preventing cancer, kidney disease, osteoporosis, etc.) like it&#8217;s made out to be.  </p>
<h2>Gree Tea HP&#8217;s New Sales Tactic: Network Marketing</h2>
<p>From what I can tell, Green Tea HP was originally sold in kiosks in shopping malls.  They are now (and the switch seems to be rather recently) moving to a network marketing sales method (same method used by Tahitian Noni, Avon, etc.).  This means that you can become a distributor for Green Tea HP and sell the product.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m personally not a big fan of network marketing because there is often more of a focus on selling other people on the &#8216;business opportunity&#8217; than there is on the actual product.  In most cases it&#8217;s just a way for the company to grow fast and grow rich.  I can&#8217;t say if the same goes for Green Tea HP, but don&#8217;t be too surprised if your long lost friend calls you after 5 years of no contact trying to sell you a new and amazing wellness formula called Green Tea HP.</p>
<p>To each their own I guess.</p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>Green Tea HP comes in many different varieties and sizes.  I appears that a standard order would the &#8220;variety sixty&#8221; which comes with 60 &#8220;pixies&#8221; (doses).  Per the instructions you take two doses per day so this sixty pack will last one month.</p>
<p>A sixty pack of Green Tea HP costs $79.95.  This is definitely on the more expensive side of the weight loss product spectrum.  </p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Guarantee</h2>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t appear that the company offers any kind of money back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Green Tea HP&#8217;s ingredients look to be ok.  Green tea is a good weight loss ingredient that is likely to help you with drop some weight.  Green Tea is also positioning itself as more of a wellness product, and not just a weight loss drink.  </p>
<p>The price is a little high and the lack of guarantee makes me a little cautious.  Also, take note that you may see quite a bit of biased testimonials based on the fact that virtually anyone can become a distributor for the company and has something to gain.  </p>

This means that you can become a distributor for Green Tea HP and sell the product.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m personally not a big fan of network marketing because there is often more of a focus on selling other people on the &#8216;business opportunity&#8217; than there is on the actual product.  In most cases it&#8217;s just a way for the company to grow fast and grow rich.  I can&#8217;t say if the same goes for Green Tea HP, but don&#8217;t be too surprised if your long lost friend calls you after 5 years of no contact trying to sell you a new and amazing wellness formula called Green Tea HP.</p>
<p>To each their own I guess.</p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>Green Tea HP comes in many different varieties and sizes.  I appears that a standard order would the &#8220;variety sixty&#8221; which comes with 60 &#8220;pixies&#8221; (doses).  Per the instructions you take two doses per day so this sixty pack will last one month.</p>
<p>A sixty pack of Green Tea HP costs $79.95.  This is definitely on the more expensive side of the weight loss product spectrum.  </p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Guarantee</h2>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t appear that the company offers any kind of money back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Green Tea HP&#8217;s ingredients look to be ok.  Green tea is a good weight loss ingredient that is likely to help you with drop some weight.  Green Tea is also positioning itself as more of a wellness product, and not just a weight loss drink.  </p>
<p>The price is a little high and the lack of guarantee makes me a little cautious.  Also, take note that you may see quite a bit of biased testimonials based on the fact that virtually anyone can become a distributor for the company and has something to gain.  </p>

It contains a number of great diet pill ingredients, almost all of which have been patented.  While their claim that you&#8217;ll &#8220;Permanently Lose 900% More Body Fat&#8221; is a bit far fetched, the bottom line is that it shows some definite promise.  </p>
<p>This Liporexall review will dig a little deeper to see if Liporexall is as impressive as it&#8217;s first impression leads us to believe.</p>
<h3>Liporexall Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>ChromeMate</strong> &#8211; ChromeMate, a patented form of chromium, is designed to regulate levels of sugar in the blood.  Many believe this leads to weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Super Citrimax</strong> &#8211; Super Citrimax is a proven weight loss ingredient due to it&#8217;s inclusion of HCA.  HCA has been shown to inhibit fat production and suppress appetite. </p>
<p>*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&#8217;s report.</p>
<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>
<p><strong>Pinnothin</strong> &#8211; Pinnothin is meant to cause appetite suppression.  </p>
<p><strong>NeOpuntia</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>Phase-2</strong> &#8211; A starch neutralizer, Phase-2 is designed to block the starch.  Phase-2 is a great addition to other quality ingredients.</p>
<p><strong>7-KETO</strong> &#8211; 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.</p>
<p><strong>ForsLean</strong> &#8211; Research shows that forskohlin, the main ingredient in ForsLean, helps to promote lean muscle mass.  </p>
<p><strong>Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate</strong> &#8211; 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.  </p>
<p><strong>Tonalin</strong> &#8211; Another quality ingredient, Tonalin is a patented form of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid).  CLA a lot of research backing up it&#8217;s claims to help retain muscle while lowering body fat.  </p>
<p><strong>Bioperine</strong> &#8211; Bioperine is a patented ingredient designed to help in the absorption of nutrients.  While it won&#8217;t cause weight loss by itself, it&#8217;s a welcomed addition to other effective ingredients.  </p>
<p>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.  </p>
<h3>Liporexall&#8217;s Marketing</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not quite so sure about the lofty claims Liporexall (900% increase in weight loss, build 700% more lean muscle, etc.), but I&#8217;ll let you be the judge.</p>
<h3>A Lifetime Guarantee</h3>
<p>While there was little information about the requirements/process of the money back guarantee, they do have a <strong>lifetime</strong> guarantee.  This is an amazing guarantee in this industry (anything over 60 days is pretty good).</p>
<h3>How Much does Liporexall Cost?</h3>
<p>One bottle of Liporexall will cost $49.99 and should last you 30 days.  They do offer discounts for larger orders.  </p>
<h3>Liporexall Conclusion</h3>
<p>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&#8217;t have HCA thrown in the mix, I would recommend Liporexall.  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/lipofuze.jpg" alt="lipofuze" title="lipofuze" width="95" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-974" />Lipofuze is a diet pill that will help you &#8220;Lose 10 pounds in 7 days or your money back guaranteed&#8221; (website). This Lipofuze review will explore the ingredients in Lipofuze and try to evaluate how effective it will be so that you know what to expect from this diet pill.</p>
<h3>Lipofuze Ingredients</h3>
<p>ThermoDiamine (Evodiamine) has been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
Razberi-K (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">raspberry ketone</a>) is believed to be a fat burner and has been shown to cause weight loss in some studies.<br />
FucoPure (fucoxanthin) is an antioxidant found in seaweed; it is supposed to protect cells from damage.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/">Forslean</a> is a diet pill ingredient proven to burn fat while retaining muscle mass.<br />
Guggul EZ 100 (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/">gugglesterones</a>) is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. More researched is needed.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">BioPerine</a> enhances the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients; this is always a welcome thing in supplementation.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a> is a great diet pill ingredient as it has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of at least 300 mg per day. <br />
Capsaicin helps with digestion and circulation. More research is needed to determine the effect of capsaicin on weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine HCl</a> is an effective, proven weight loss ingredient. <br />
7-OHO Dhea has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Cinnamon<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/">Phenylethylamine</a> is a &#8220;feel good&#8221; ingredient; it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Ginger<br />
20 Hydroxyecdysone </p>
<p>So you are probably asking &#8220;What does all this mean?&#8221; Basically, Lipofuze diet pills contain some very effective diet pill ingredients.  The ingredients in Lipofuze certainly suggest that it will be an effective weight loss supplement.</p>
<h3>Lipofuze Price</h3>
<p>According to the Lipofuze website, you can get Lipofuze diet pills for &#8220;only&#8221; $49.95 for a one month supply.  This is an average price for a diet pill.  Given the high quality ingredients, I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s a pretty good value for your money.</p>
<h3>Lipofuze Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Lipofuze website says you can get a full refund if you return the empty bottle (they want you to use the entire bottle).  Themoney back guarantee is for life.  This refund policy actually looks legitimate and about the best that I&#8217;ve seen. </p>
<h3>Lipofuze Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipofuze review finds Lipofuze contains several great diet pill ingredients. They&#8217;ve used ingredients that are backed by a large amount scientific studies.  The price is reasonable and you don&#8217;t get a better guarantee than theirs (lifetime).  I&#8217;d say give Lipofuze a try and let us know how it goes.</p>

<p>LipoFlush diet pills supposedly &#8220;dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits&#8221; (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.</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>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Ingredients</h3>
</p>
<p>Vitamin D3 (100 IU) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B5 (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (25 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (100 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Potassium (99 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (415 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (200 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Zinc (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.</p>
<p>Choline (650 mg) supposedly reduces body fat, but studies do not back up this claim.</p>
<p>L-Carnitine (450 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine (4 mg) increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (300 mg) contains Synephrine, which is a great, proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. LipoFlush does not disclose the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this LipoFlush review to determine if the Synephrine in LipoFlush diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (100 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but 100 mg isn&#8217;t going to do much.</p>
<p>Cordyceps Sinesis (100 mg)</p>
<p>Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hawthorne Berry (100 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine (99 mg) is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is not enough caffeine in LipoFlush diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>LipoFlush Proprietary Complex 4000 mg</p>
<p>Acanthopanax Senticosus</p>
<p>Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA)  helps produce energy. However, the human body makes plenty of ALA, so there is no need to supplement.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf</p>
<p>Beta Sitosterol</p>
<p>Betaine</p>
<p>Capsicum</p>
<p>Cellulose</p>
<p>Cinnamon</p>
<p>Damiana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and guarana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and guarana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Genistein</p>
<p>Ginger</p>
<p>Grape Seed</p>
<p>Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and damiana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Guggul extract is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, research does not support these claims.</p>
<p>Glycine</p>
<p>Hoodia does absolutely nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Inositol transports fat from the liver. Again, LipoFlush hides how much Inositol it contains.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p>Kola Nut</p>
<p>Lecithin</p>
<p>L-Histidine</p>
<p>L-Tyrosine is effective when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that LipoFlush contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Green Tea is a very effective ingredient, but LipoFlush does not list how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p>Magnesium</p>
<p>Mucuna Puriens</p>
<p>Panax Ginseng</p>
<p>Phosphatidylserine</p>
<p>Quercetine dihydrate</p>
<p>Siler extract</p>
<p>Theobroma Cocoa Complex</p>
<p>White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Cost</h3>
</p>
<p>LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Research</h3>
</p>
<p>The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Conclusion</h3>
</p>
<p>This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won&#8217;t break your bank.</p>

<p>LipoFlush diet pills supposedly &#8220;dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits&#8221; (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.</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>

<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(300 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.</p>

However, studies included 1500 mg of white kidney bean every day. It is extremely unlikely that Thermo Cuts contains enough white kidney bean to cause weight loss.<br />

<h3>Thermo Cuts Cost</h3>
<p>Thermo Cuts diet pills cost $25.99 for 200 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last about 16 days. This is quite expensive, especially considering the proven ingredients in Thermo Cuts are included in &#8220;proprietary&#8221; amounts (in other words, they put in very little of each ingredient just to say it is in there). Don&#8217;t bother with Thermo Cuts. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
<h3>Thermo Cuts Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Thermo Cuts website explains their 30 day guarantee. To get your money back, you have to have purchased Thermo Cuts through the website. Also, you have to call their customer service department and get a Return Authorization Number. At least 75% of the product has to be left for you to return the product. This return policy is a joke! If you only take 25% of the capsules, how will you possibly know if it works? Just one more reason to stay away from Thermo Cuts.</p>
<h3>Thermo Cuts Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Thermo Cuts review finds Thermo Cuts diet pills are really no different from countless others. They contain a few proven ingredients but hide them in a proprietary blend. They gouge you with the price and then make it next to impossible to return the product.</p>

Also, you have to call their customer service department and get a Return Authorization Number. At least 75% of the product has to be left for you to return the product. This return policy is a joke! If you only take 25% of the capsules, how will you possibly know if it works? Just one more reason to stay away from Thermo Cuts.</p>
<h3>Thermo Cuts Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Thermo Cuts review finds Thermo Cuts diet pills are really no different from countless others. They contain a few proven ingredients but hide them in a proprietary blend. They gouge you with the price and then make it next to impossible to return the product.</p>

<p><a name="Top"></a></p>
<ul><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"></p>
<li>&#8220;Stimulate fat loss</li>
<li>Suppress appetite</li>
<li>Enhance lean body mass</li>
<li>Inhibit sugar cravings</li>
<li>Promote weight loss</li>
<li>Reduce blood sugar levels</li>
<li>Elevate metabolic rate</li>
<li>Increase energy level&#8221; (website).</li>
<p></span></p>
<p></span></span></ul>
<p>This Lipovar 8 review shows that Lipovar 8 cannot possibly live up to its claims (because of the minimal amount of each proven ingredient contained).</p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >ForsLean </a>Coleus Forskholii (62.5 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>(225 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Lipovar 8 does not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Lipovar 8 review finds the Guarana in Lipovar 8 will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Gymnema Sylvestre Extract (100 mg) leads to weight loss by controlling blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (94 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration. The higher the concentration of Synephrine the more effective it is at causing weight loss. Since Lipovar 8 does not list the concentration of the Synephrine it contains, there is no way of knowing if the Synephrine will cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (60 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg per day or more. If you take the recommended dose of Lipovar 8, you will only get 120 mg of green tea. Therefore, the green tea in Lipovar 8 is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>USP <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(50 mg) does cause weight loss, but 50 mg will not do much.</p>
<p>Calcium Phosphate (764 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(2.5 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Lipovar 8 does contain a few proven ingredients. However, there are only small amounts of each ingredient included. This Lipovar 8 review finds you would be better off with another diet pill. Lipovar 8 will not give you the results you want.</p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Price</h3>
<p><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Lipovar 8 diet pills cost $21.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 30 days. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill. However, considering the small amounts of the proven ingredients contained, any amount is too much for Lipovar 8.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Guarantee</h3>
<p>The ISS Research (Lipovar 8 manufacturer) website states the following, &#8220;Merchandise must be returned at your expense in unopened and perfect condition in order to receive credit. A valid return authorization number must be on the shipping label or we will refuse the package. A 20% restocking fee will be applied to returns. No product returns will be accepted after 30 days.&#8221; This is a pathetic guarantee. You should be able to return an open product and they should give more than 30 days. Also, there is no reason for them to charge a restocking fee.</p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipovar 8 review finds Lipovar 8 diet pills leave a lot to be desired. While they contain several proven ingredients, they do not contain enough of these ingredients to be effective. The Lipovar 8 guarantee is a guarantee in name only; it will do nothing for you. Find a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
