<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Ingredients</h3>
<p>Thiamin<br />
Niacin<br />
Vitamin B6<br />
Folate<br />
Vitamin B12<br />
Biotin<br />
Pantothenic Acid<br />
Calcium<br />
Iodine<br />
Magnesium<br />
Zinc<br />
Copper<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a> has shown varying results in clinical trials; some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss while others have shown the opposite.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a> is an excellent diet pill. It has to be used in doses of 300 mg or more per day in order to be effective at causing weight loss. Unfortunately, MeltRX 24 Ultra fails to list how much Green tea it contains, making it impossible for this MeltRX 24 Ultra review to determine if there is enough Green tea in MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Cinnamon<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a> root<br />
Ginko Biloba supports memory function, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/">Garcinia Cambogia</a> contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, recent reports from the FDA show HCA may be linked to serious health concerns for the liver. Therefore, we cannot endorse a product containing HCA.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to help increase focus during stressful periods. It does cause weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. Again, MeltRX 24 Ultra does not say how much L-Tyrosine it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glutamine-review/">L-Glutamine</a> is produced naturally by the body. It is unlikely that you would need to supplement with L-Glutamine because your body produces as much as it needs.<br />
Lecithin</p>
<p>You will note that MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills do contain a few proven diet pill ingredients. However, it does not reveal how much of each ingredient it contains. Additionally, MeltRX 24 Ultra contains HCA, which can cause liver problems. Therefore, we cannot recommend MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Price</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills cost $54 for a 13 day supply, with a discount for buying in bulk. This is WAY too much to pay for this product. There is no reason to believe MeltRX 24 Ultra will actually cause weight loss, and considering the possible danger of HCA, you shouldn&#8217;t bother even trying MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Guarantee</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra has a 30 day, 110% money back guarantee. Although we do like to see a guarantee, 30 days is not enough time to know whether or not a diet pill will actually work. We prefer to see a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Conclusion</h3>
<p>This MeltRX 24 Ultra review finds this product is potentially dangerous, and there is no reason to believe it will really cause weight loss. It is also way too expensive. If you are really interested in losing weight, go with a product that includes ingredients that have been clinically proven, ingredients that will not be dangerous to your health.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1slim1.jpg" alt="1slim1" title="1slim1" width="124" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1117" />1Slim1 is a diet pill supplement that claims, &#8220;Your body can become a virtual fat burning furnace, burning  body fat without losing muscle. This patented, proven formulation produces phenomenal results. You&#8217;ll love what it does for you&#8221; (website). However, there is NO proof that 1Slim1 actually does anything for weight loss. This 1Slim1 review shows 1Slim1 is nothing more than a waste of your time and money.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Ingredients</h3>
<p>According to their website, 1Slim1 contains the following ingredients:<br />
Garcinia<br />
Pyruvate<br />
L-Carnitine<br />
Aspartic Acid<br />
Biotin<br />
Chromium Picolinate</p>
<p>Garcinia Cambogia contains Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, 1Slim1 fails to list how much Garcinia Cambogia it contains.</p>
<p>Pyruvate has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when taken in EXTREMELY high amounts (studies have shown you have to take 36 grams per day to cause weight loss). Therefore, to get enough Pyruvate to cause weight loss you would have to take dozens of 1Slim1 pills each day. DO NOT take more than the recommended dosage of 1Slim1.</p>
<p>Although diet pill companies make bold claims about L-Carnitine, there is NO scientific evidence proving it actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin is simply another name for Vitamin B7; there is no reason to believe Biotin will actually contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Studies have shown conflicting results on the effects of Chromium Picolinate on weight loss. In addition, chances are your body makes plenty of Chromium Picolinate, and supplementing with it will not have any effect.</p>
<p>Therefore, the only 1Slim1 ingredient that could realistically contribute to weight loss is Garcinia Cambogia, but 1Slim1 does not disclose how much it contains.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Guarantee</h3>
<p>1Slim1 claims to have a guarantee, but the truth is it isn&#8217;t much of a guarantee. Returns are accepted only on unopened bottles. In addition, there is a $7.50 restocking fee.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Cost</h3>
<p>1Slim1 costs $69.95 for one month; this includes a one month supply of pills as well as membership in the Slim Living program. This is fairly expensive for a diet pill, especially considering 1Slim1 hides how much of the one proven ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 and Slim Living Program</h3>
<p>The Slim Living Program is an online weight loss program. You have an online instructor as well as a course manual and quizzes. According to the 1Slim1 website, the Slim Living Program, &#8220;helps you in accomplishing goals such as quitting smoking, improving self esteem, developing muscle, improving cardiovascular stamina and of course losing weight become a reality.&#8221; </p>
<h3>Fake &#8220;Progress&#8221; Photos</h3>
<p>I just wanted to point out the painfully obvious fact that the images of the male and female at the top right of the page that are supposedly of them losing weight over a 6 month period are simply edited versions of the same photo.  They&#8217;re wearing the same exact clothes (with the same wrinkles) in the same same exact stance.  If you look, there isn&#8217;t one hair on the womans head that is in a different position.  And we&#8217;re supposed to believe that these were different photos taken 6 months apart? Please.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>1Slim1 has an Affiliate Program. Basically, if you can get other people to join, you get commission on everything they buy. So, if you can con your friends and family into buying 1Slim1, you can make some money.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This 1Slim1 review finds 1Slim1 is a waste of money. There is no reason to believe 1Slim1 diet pills will do anything for weight loss. In addition, the Slim Living Program is a joke. You can get the same information for free online. Don&#8217;t bother with 1Slim1. If you are really serious about losing weight, check out our recommended products; they include proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/lipoflush.jpg" alt="lipoflush" title="lipoflush" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-869" /></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>
<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>

However, there is no proof that it actually works. In fact, the science proves Avatrim doesn&#8217;t work. This Avatrim review shows you what you can really expect from Avatrim.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Ingredients</h3>
<p>Biotin (600 mcg) is just a fancy name for Vitamin B7; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> (500 mg) is supposed to contribute to weight loss, but the research does not support this. Until research is able to substantiate these claims we cannot back L-Carnitine as an effective weight loss ingredient.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (240 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, studies have shown green tea is only effective when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Avatrim review finds there is not enough green tea in Avatrim to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a> (198 mg) produces energy. Your body produces plenty of Alpha Lipoic Acid on its own; you don&#8217;t need to supplement with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(10 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily do anything for weight loss.</p>
<p>R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (2 mg)</p>
<p>The only proven ingredient contained in Avatrim diet pills is green tea, and it is not included in a high enough amount to do anything to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Avatrim cost</h3>
<p>Avatrim diet pills cost $29.95 per bottle (a one month supply). While this is a pretty average price for a diet pill, it is too expensive for Avatrim. There is no reason to believe Avatrim will actually cause weight loss; the science simply does not prove it. You will find much better success with one of our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in the necessary amounts to help you lose weight.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Guarantee</h3>
<p>Avatrim claims to have a 90 day money back guarantee. However, they do not give specifics on their guarantee. Usually this means there are hidden charges (like restocking or administrative fees) or they have other restrictions they don&#8217;t want you to know about.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Marketing</h3>
<p>According to Avatrim, &#8220;<span class="Normal-C22">There are three main sections on the </span><span class="Normal-C21">Avatrim</span><span class="Normal-C22"> Diet Program. First is the Formula;     followed by the Food Plan; and lastly, the Activity Plan&#8221; (website). Basically you are supposed to take the Avatrim diet pill, eat what they tell you to, and exercise. It is a good idea in principle, but since Avatrim diet pills don&#8217;t work, you might as well stick with a regular diet and exercise. It would save you some money.<br />
</span></p>
<p>By ordering Avatrim, you are enrolled in the free weight management club. Again, it is just an exercise program, nothing special. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their bold claims; Avatrim will not do anything for you.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Avatrim review finds this is just another subpar diet pill. There is NO reason to believe Avatrim diet pills will actually cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your time or money on Avatrim. Go with a diet pill that actually includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

The Suvaril website claims, &#8220;Only Suvaril can deliver consistent moderate weight loss.&#8221; Obviously this is untrue. We have found several diet pills that cause moderate weight loss, and Suvaril cannot prove that it will really work. This Suvaril review will show that Suvaril diet pills are nothing to write home about.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin A (2500 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin C (40 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin D (200 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E (15 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Thiamin (0.75 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Riboflavin (0.85 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Niacin (10 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (200 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (3 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (150 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (50 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (25 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate</a> (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.</p>
<p>Suvaril Proprietary Blend (472 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Unfortunately, Suvaril fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Suvaril review to determine if there is enough green tea in Suvaril diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>Grape seed</p>
<p>Vanadium does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Again, Suvaril does not say how much banaba it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> reduces stress levels; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Free Sample</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a free 30 day sample. The catch is that when you sign up for the free sample you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you the product and charge your credit card for it). You will be charged $69.90 for a 60 day supply.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Price</h3>
<p>If you choose to buy Suvaril diet pills and don&#8217;t want to enroll in autoship, you will pay $49.95 for a one month supply. This is way too expensive for this product. Suvaril contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and banaba), and it does not say how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Guarantee</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a 60 day refund on unopened bottles only. This is good for Suvaril because you have to buy more than one bottle in order to get a refund (since you cannot return opened bottles).</p>
<h3>Suvaril Conclusion</h3>
<p>Suvaril diet pills might cause weight loss, but it might not. Since Suvaril hides how much of each proven ingredient it contains, there is no way of knowing if Suvaril will actually work. And, since you cannot return an unopened bottle, you will be spending nearly $100 to see if it will work. That seems like too much to gamble on this product. Instead, this Suvaril review recommends using a diet pill containing clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

Unfortunately, Suvaril fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Suvaril review to determine if there is enough green tea in Suvaril diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>Grape seed</p>
<p>Vanadium does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Again, Suvaril does not say how much banaba it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> reduces stress levels; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Free Sample</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a free 30 day sample. The catch is that when you sign up for the free sample you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you the product and charge your credit card for it). You will be charged $69.90 for a 60 day supply.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Price</h3>
<p>If you choose to buy Suvaril diet pills and don&#8217;t want to enroll in autoship, you will pay $49.95 for a one month supply. This is way too expensive for this product. Suvaril contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and banaba), and it does not say how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Guarantee</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a 60 day refund on unopened bottles only. This is good for Suvaril because you have to buy more than one bottle in order to get a refund (since you cannot return opened bottles).</p>
<h3>Suvaril Conclusion</h3>
<p>Suvaril diet pills might cause weight loss, but it might not. Since Suvaril hides how much of each proven ingredient it contains, there is no way of knowing if Suvaril will actually work. And, since you cannot return an unopened bottle, you will be spending nearly $100 to see if it will work. That seems like too much to gamble on this product. Instead, this Suvaril review recommends using a diet pill containing clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

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

This Slimage review will specifically focus on the weight loss potential of Slimage, revealing the truth behind the ingredients contained in Slimage, to give you a better idea of what you can expect from Slimage diet pills.</p>
<h3>Slimage Ingredients</h3>
<p><span>Vitamin A (5000 IU) is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p>Vitamin C (240 mg) has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E (30 IU) is also important to health, but there is nothing to suggest it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (Vitamin B7) (1250 mcg) provides necessary nutrients, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Weight Loss Complex 611 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only taken used in doses of 300 mg or more daily. With a total of 611 mg in the Weight Loss Complex, it is extremely unlikely that Slimage diet pills contain enough green tea to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>also contributes to weight loss. Once again, Slimage hides how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible for this Slimage review to determine if there is enough caffeine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Oolong tea has been shown to increase metabolism (probably due to the caffeine it contains). There is no listing of how much Oolong tea Slimage contains.</p>
<p>White tea</p>
<p>Lagerstroemia Speciosa is also known as banaba; it has been shown to cause weight loss. Unfortunately, Slimage does not say how much Lagerstroemia Speciosa it contains.</p>
<p>Pure South African <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia </a>does nothing for weight loss. Don&#8217;t be swayed by the sensational claims from diet pill companies or the endorsements from celebrities; the science just doesn&#8217;t support hoodia as a valid weight loss ingredient.</p>
<p>Slimaluma contains Caralluma Fimbriata Extract, which is supposedly an appetite suppressant. More research is needed on Caralluma Fimbriata.</p>
<p>Age-defying Complex 484 mg</p>
<p>Vitamin C</p>
<p>Bilberry</p>
<p>Vitamin E</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a> (ALA) is needed to produce energy. However, your body makes plenty of ALA; you do not need to supplement with it.</p>
<p>Collagen is supposed to leave skin looking younger; despite what some diet pill companies claim, collagen has no effect on weight loss.</p>
<p>Silica can actually cause skin to dry out.</p>
<p>Grape seed</p>
<p>Lycopene</p>
<p>Lingonberry</p>
<p>Coenzyme Q10 is included in many beauty products; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin A</p>
<p>Biotin</p>
<p>You will notice Slimage does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, they hide how much of each ingredient is included (likely because there are only trace amounts of each ingredient). Don&#8217;t waste your time on this product; it will not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Slimage Cost</h3>
<p>Slimage diet pills cost $29.99 for 120 caplets. If you take the recommended 4 caplets per day, one bottle will last about a month. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill. However, there is no reason to believe Slimage will actually give you weight loss results, so any amount is too much to pay for Slimage.</p>
<h3>Slimage Guarantee</h3>
<p>Slimage is made by NX labs. NX Labs does give refunds for some of their other products, but their website doesn&#8217;t mention anything about a guarantee for Slimage (which means there probably isn&#8217;t one). We have learned that companies who are unwilling to back up their product often have something to hide.</p>
<h3>Slimage Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slimage review finds that Slimage will do nothing for your weight loss efforts. While it does contain several proven ingredients, it fails to mention how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to determine how effective it will be at causing weight loss. Look for a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts; you will be glad you did.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/lipo6-hers.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-706" title="lipo6-hers" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/lipo6-hers.jpg" alt="" width="167" height="150" /></a><span class="style6">LIPO-6 Hers is &#8220;the world’s most advanced female fat burner</span> using a new and superior liquid 24-hour <em>MULTI-PHASE™</em> technology&#8221; (website). This Lipo-6 Hers review will reveal the differences between Lipo-6 Hers and other diet pills (if there are any) and explore the guarantee and marketing strategies behind Lipo-6 Hers to help you determine if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >B-Phenylethylamine HCL</a><span> (60.00 mg) is supposed to be a mood enhancer. However, there is no evidence to show that </span><span>B-Phenylethylamine HCL actually contributes to weight loss.</span><br />
<span> Methylsynephrine 14.00 mg<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a><span>(6.00 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the important aspect when looking at synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. Lipo-6 Hers fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains. Thus, it is impossible for this Lipo-6 Hers review to determine if the synephrine in Lipo-6 Hers diet pills is enough to cause weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a><span> (130.00 mg) is simply caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a><span> (20.00 mg) does NOT contribute to weight loss, despite what countless diet pill companies say.<br />
Yohimbine HCl (3.00 mg) causes weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.<br />
Folic Acid (150.00 mcg) is important to overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Biotin (100.00 mcg) is also known as vitamin B7. It helps with overall health, but it does not cause weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p>The Lipo-6 Hers website claims, &#8220;The ingredient profile and dosing of LIPO-6 Hers has been tailored towards the specific needs of the female physique.&#8221; The truth is the ingredients in Lipo-6 Hers diet pills are contained in countless other diet pills. They claim folic acid and biotin (vitamin B7) are the ingredients that make Lipo-6 Hers geared to women. However, men also need folic acid and vitamin B7. Don&#8217;t be fooled; there is nothing in Lipo-6 Hers to make it only for women.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Price</h3>
<p>Lipo-6 Hers diet pills cost $59.95 for a one month supply. This Lipo-6 Hers review finds this is way too expensive for this product. Lipo-6 Hers does contain caffeine and yohimbine, but you can find these ingredients in more effective diet pills for less cost. Don&#8217;t waste your money on Lipo-6 Hers; it won&#8217;t give the results you are looking for.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Lipo-6 Hers website does not mention a guarantee. We called their customer service line and were informed that there is no guarantee for Lipo-6 Hers diet pills. It makes us wonder why they are unwilling to stand by their product.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Marketing</h3>
<p>Lipo-6 Hers uses typical unbelievable (likely fabricated) testimonials as well as pictures of extremely thin models who have obviously never been overweight. Don&#8217;t be impressed by anything you see or read on the Lipo-6 Hers website. Most companies will say or show whatever they need to get you to buy their product.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipo-6 Hers review finds Lipo-6 Hers is nothing special. There is no reason Lipo-6 Hers should be geared only at women. Lipo-6 Hers is overpriced and will not give you the results you will get from a diet pill that contains multiple proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

This Lipo-6 Hers review will reveal the differences between Lipo-6 Hers and other diet pills (if there are any) and explore the guarantee and marketing strategies behind Lipo-6 Hers to help you determine if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >B-Phenylethylamine HCL</a><span> (60.00 mg) is supposed to be a mood enhancer. However, there is no evidence to show that </span><span>B-Phenylethylamine HCL actually contributes to weight loss.</span><br />
<span> Methylsynephrine 14.00 mg<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a><span>(6.00 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the important aspect when looking at synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. Lipo-6 Hers fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains. Thus, it is impossible for this Lipo-6 Hers review to determine if the synephrine in Lipo-6 Hers diet pills is enough to cause weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a><span> (130.00 mg) is simply caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss.<br />
</span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a><span> (20.00 mg) does NOT contribute to weight loss, despite what countless diet pill companies say.<br />
Yohimbine HCl (3.00 mg) causes weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.<br />
Folic Acid (150.00 mcg) is important to overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Biotin (100.00 mcg) is also known as vitamin B7. It helps with overall health, but it does not cause weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p>The Lipo-6 Hers website claims, &#8220;The ingredient profile and dosing of LIPO-6 Hers has been tailored towards the specific needs of the female physique.&#8221; The truth is the ingredients in Lipo-6 Hers diet pills are contained in countless other diet pills. They claim folic acid and biotin (vitamin B7) are the ingredients that make Lipo-6 Hers geared to women. However, men also need folic acid and vitamin B7. Don&#8217;t be fooled; there is nothing in Lipo-6 Hers to make it only for women.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Price</h3>
<p>Lipo-6 Hers diet pills cost $59.95 for a one month supply. This Lipo-6 Hers review finds this is way too expensive for this product. Lipo-6 Hers does contain caffeine and yohimbine, but you can find these ingredients in more effective diet pills for less cost. Don&#8217;t waste your money on Lipo-6 Hers; it won&#8217;t give the results you are looking for.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Lipo-6 Hers website does not mention a guarantee. We called their customer service line and were informed that there is no guarantee for Lipo-6 Hers diet pills. It makes us wonder why they are unwilling to stand by their product.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Marketing</h3>
<p>Lipo-6 Hers uses typical unbelievable (likely fabricated) testimonials as well as pictures of extremely thin models who have obviously never been overweight. Don&#8217;t be impressed by anything you see or read on the Lipo-6 Hers website. Most companies will say or show whatever they need to get you to buy their product.</p>
<h3>Lipo-6 Hers Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipo-6 Hers review finds Lipo-6 Hers is nothing special. There is no reason Lipo-6 Hers should be geared only at women. Lipo-6 Hers is overpriced and will not give you the results you will get from a diet pill that contains multiple proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-652" title="size-0" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/size-0.jpg" alt="" width="149" height="149" />Size 0 is &#8220;the only supplement you need to achieve that sexy, youthful figure and regain your energy for life, fast!&#8221; (website). This Size 0 review will break down the claims made by Size 0 as well as give an in-depth look at the Size 0 ingredients to show you what you can honestly expect from Size 0 diet pills.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Weight Loss Support Blend 785 mg (Thermogenic/Metabolic Accelerator)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is merely dried caffeine. It has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since Size 0 includes caffeine anhydrous in a proprietary blend, there is no way to know if there is enough to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea </a>Extract has also been proven to contribute to weight loss. For green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. It is very unlikely that there is enough green tea in Size 0 diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</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, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Guarana. Size 0 does not contain Damiana or Guarana.</p>
<p>Green Coffee Bean Extract inhibits weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.</p>
<p>Cordia Salisifolia Extract (Cha de Bugre) Although cordia salisifolia is included in many diet pills, there is no scientific evidence that it actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Cocoa Extract is a feel-good ingredient; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Taurine is often added to energy drinks, but studies have shown it has no effect on energy levels.</p>
<p>Citrus Naringin</p>
<p>Appetite Support Complex 17 mg (Food Craving Support Nutrients)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> DOES NOT contribute to weight loss, although many diet pill companies claim it does.</p>
<p>Smithin Jojoba Seed Extract</p>
<p>Griffoniosimplicifolia Seed Extract</p>
<p>Beauty Support Blend 11 mg (Hair, Skin and Nails Nutrients)</p>
<p>Horsetail Leaf Extract</p>
<p>Hyaluronic Acid</p>
<p>Collagen, according to many diet pill companies, is supposed to reduce body fat. However, studies have not been able to prove this theory.</p>
<p>Choline is supposed to reduce body fat (according to diet pill companies), but science has not proven it.</p>
<p>Silica</p>
<p>Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. Size 0 does not list how much Inositol it contains.</p>
<p>Biotin is Vitamin B-7; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>L-Cyctione</p>
<p>L-Methionine helps break down fats. You should not supplement with Methionine unless your doctor directs you to do so.</p>
<p>Coenzyme Q10</p>
<p>Chamomile Flower Leaf Extract</p>
<p>Estrogen Support Complex 4 mg (Hormonal Balancing Nutrients)</p>
<p>Choste Tree Berry</p>
<p>Daidzen</p>
<p>Dong Quai Root</p>
<p>Vitex Agnus Costus</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be impressed or overwhelmed by the long list of ingredients included in Size 0. It merely means they have put in a VERY small amount of each ingredient. Size 0 does include a few proven ingredients, but odds are there is not enough of any ingredient to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Cost</h3>
<p>A one month supply of Size 0 diet pills costs $49.95. This is extremely expensive, especially since Size 0 fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to predict how effective Size 0 will be.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Guarantee</h3>
<p>Size 0 has a 6 month guarantee policy. You can even return open bottles (although if you have used more than half the bottle they will only refund the amount of the unused portion). This seems like a pretty good guarantee.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Marketing</h3>
<p>The Size 0 website is incomplete. They claim they have made a &#8220;scientific breakthrough.&#8221; However, under the section titled &#8220;Size 0 Science&#8221;, there is no information. I would be interested to see what research they cite, since all the research we have seen (which is a considerable amount) says there is no possible way the proven ingredients in Size 0 could have been included in adequate amounts to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>It is interesting that Size 0 is enticing people to get back their &#8220;sexy, youthful figure&#8221; when they use what looks like a teenage model. Do they really expect people to believe they will look like the model if they use Size 0 (because the only way to get your body looking like the model&#8217;s is to go back in time)?</p>
<h3>Size 0 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Size 0 review finds Size 0 diet pills are nothing out of the ordinary; they include a few proven ingredients, but not in large enough amounts to actually cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your time on pills like these. Find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in appropriate amounts.</p>

This NV review will focus on the weight loss capabilities of NV diet pills to help you see just what you can expect in weight loss from NV. </span></p>
<h3>NV Ingredients</h3>
<p>Weight Loss Complex</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 267 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Studies have found that for green to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Since there are only 267 mg total, this NV review finds it is impossible for NV diet pills to have enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a>, despite the claims made by countless diet pill companies as well as celebrities, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Theobromine is sometimes used as a diuretic. There is no proof that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Beauty Complex</p>
<p>Collagen is supposed to make skin look younger. Some diet pill companies claim it reduces body fat; there is no scientific evidence to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is needed by the body to produce energy. However, the body produces plenty of ALA, so you don&#8217;t need to supplement with it.</p>
<p>Silica may actually cause drying of the skin.</p>
<p>Biotin is Vitamin B-7.</p>
<p>Coenzyme Q10</p>
<p>Energy Complex</p>
<p>Taurine is often added to energy drinks. However, studies have shown it does NOT affect energy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/" >Ginseng </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice and rats, but more human studies need to be done to determine the effects on human weight loss.</p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea may help improve mood.</p>
<p>The only clinically proven ingredient in NV diet pills is green tea. However, there is not enough green tea contained in NV to be effective in contributing to weight loss.</p>
<p>Thus, this NV review finds NV will not cause weight loss. You might experience skin improvements, but do not expect to lose weight by taking NV; you will only be disappointed.</p>
<h3>NV Marketing</h3>
<p>NV has employed Carmen Electra to be their spokesperson. Don&#8217;t be fooled; just because a celebrity endorses a product doesn&#8217;t mean it will actually work (look at hoodia, for example). The NV claims about weight loss are untrue; the science has proved them false.</p>
<h3>NV Cost</h3>
<p>NV diet pills cost $26.99 per month. While this is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, considering NV contains only ONE proven ingredient (green tea), and it is not included in a necessary amount, there is no reason to pay anything for NV diet pills. You will only be disappointed.</p>
<h3>NV Guarantee</h3>
<p>The NV website says nothing about a guarantee, which means there most likely isn&#8217;t one. This is just one more reason to stay away from NV.</p>
<h3>NV Conclusion</h3>
<p>This NV review finds this is a subpar product. It contains only ONE proven ingredient and it is not included in a necessary amount. NV cannot substantiate their claims; the science proves them wrong. Save yourself some time, money, and grief. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
