<p>Zenalean Pro is a diet pill that is supposed to melt the pounds away. It includes several powerful ingredients, but the possible dangers outweigh the benefits. This Zenalean Pro review will reveal the truth behind Zenalean diet pills to help you determine if this is the right diet pill option for you.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana Extract</a> (standardized to 200 mg of caffeine) (400 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Unfortunately, Zenalean Pro does not contain either of these other two ingredients. Therefore, this Zenalean Pro review finds the Guarana in Zenalean Pro will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Sida Cordifolia Extract (350 mg) is often used to treat a variety of illnesses including cough and flu. However, Sida Cordifolia does contain ephedrine. Ephedrine (also known as ephedra) is a very effective diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, it has very serious side effects (including death) and has been banned by the FDA. Before you consider taking Zenalean Pro diet pills, be sure you understand the possible side effects associated with using ephedrine.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (standardized to 5 mg of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">synephrine</a>) (45 mg) is another proven diet pill ingredient. When looking at synephrine it is important to notice the concentration included. Zenalean Pro does not state the concentration of synephrine it includes; therefore, it is impossible for this Zenalean Pro review to determine if the synephrine in Zenalean Pro diet pills is sufficient to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 100 mg</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract is an anti-inflammatory; there is no evidence to show it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Obviously, there is not enough L-Tyrosine in Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger Root</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Extract does contribute to weight loss when taken  in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since the proprietary blend contains only 100 mg, it is impossible for you to get enough green tea from Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Cost</h3>
<p>We found Zenalean Pro diet pills online for as little as $34.95 per month. Each bottle contains 120 capsules. This is relatively inexpensive as diet pills go, but considering the possible serious side effects, it is still too much to pay for Zenalean Pro.</p>
<h3>How to take Zenalean Pro</h3>
<p>You are supposed to take one capsule per day for 30 days and then take 60 days off. It is concerning that they give you 120 capsules in one bottle when you should go through that many capsules in a year if you are taking them correctly. If you decide to take Zenalean Pro, DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE PILL PER DAY.</p>
<h3>Who makes Zenalean Pro?</h3>
<p>Zenalean Pro was made by Fast Action Pharma, which is now Nutra Costal. Zenalean Pro is not found on the Nutra Costal website. We emailed the company (they give no phone number) to ask if they still make or distribute Zenalean Pro, but we are yet to get a response. You can purchase Zenalean Pro from a number of online retailers. You might be able to get a refund if you purchase Zenalean Pro and don&#8217;t like it, but it is unlikely you will get a refund from the manufacturer.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Zenalean Pro review finds that Zenalean Pro could very well be an effective diet pill. However, with the inclusion of ephedrine, the benefits are not worth the possible risks. If you are serious about losing weight, check out our recommended products.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/metabospeed.jpg" alt="metabospeed" title="metabospeed" width="85" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1352" />MetaboSpeed is a diet pill that claims to be &#8220;Hollywood&#8217;s Little Secret Pill.&#8221;  Have all the celebrities that they have all over their website actually used MetaboSpeed? I don&#8217;t know.  But if I were to guess, I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s the same marketing ploy that others have used and nothing more.  </p>
<p>Celebrities aside, what does MetaboSpeed have to offer? This MetaboSpeed review will help you find out.</p>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<p><strong>Calcium 35 mg</strong><br />
<strong>Phosphorus 25 mg</strong><br />
<strong>Guarana Extract 800 mg</strong> &#8211; Has been shown to be an effective appetite suppressant when combined with yerba mate and damiana.  Since MetaboSpeed doesn&#8217;t include yerba mate and damiana, it&#8217;s difficult to say how effective it will be at helping you to eat less.<br />
<strong>Bitter Orange Extract 200 mg</strong> &#8211; Contains synephrine which is a stimulant that has been shown to be effective in weight loss.  We know that there is 200 mg of bitter orange, but that doesn&#8217;t tell us how much synephrine is in there.  Bottom line: it may or may not be an effective amount.</p>
<h3>Proprietary Blend: 160 mg</h3>
<p><strong>Cellulose</strong><br />
<strong>Green Tea</strong> &#8211; An effective fat burner that also has many other health benefits.<br />
<strong>Korean Ginseng</strong> &#8211; Some research suggests that it may aid in weight loss, but as of yet, it&#8217;s not looking too promising.<br />
<strong>Garcinia Cambogia</strong> &#8211; Garcinia cambogia&#8217;s main component is hydroxycitric acid (HCA).  HCA may be the reason why the FDA issued warnings against Hydroxycut branded products for the potential health dangers relating to the liver.  See the <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/hydroxycut-review/">Hydroxycut review</a> for more information.<br />
<strong>Bee Pollen</strong><br />
<strong>White Willow Bark</strong><br />
<strong>Vanadium</strong></p>
<p>The amount of the proprietary blend (160 mg) is much too small for the ingredients in the blend to be of much use.  Green tea is effective, but not at the levels I&#8217;m assuming is in the proprietary blend.  The bitter orange may be effective depending on how much synephrine is in there and I&#8217;d like to see more research on guarana by itself before I suggest that it will be effective on its own.  </p>
<p>In addition, MetaboSpeed includes HCA which is possibly under scrutiny by the FDA. </p>
<h2>MetaboSpeed&#8217;s Marketing</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s fairly obvious that MetaboSpeed is relying heavily on the celebrity image to market to their product.  I see this as a flawed tactic.  Unfortunately, it may work.  But why does the fact that a celebrity tried a product all of a sudden make it more effective or legitimate?  </p>
<p>On top of that, I&#8217;m not totally convinced (even by the &#8216;magazine articles&#8217;) that the celebrities pictured used the product in the first place.  </p>
<p>I liked their small disclaimer:  </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;*These celebrities have been associated with products we sell, or specific ingredients contained within our products. This does not imply that they either endorse or promote any of these products unless otherwise specified.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Also, I wasn&#8217;t too impressed with the MetaboSpeed website in general.  They provide almost no information about the actual product itself &#8211; I had to go to Lab 88&#8217;s website just to get the ingredient list.  </p>
<h2>MetaboSpeed&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>For a one month supply of MetaboSpeed you&#8217;ll pay $39.99 (plus $9.95 shipping and handling).  While this isn&#8217;t a bad price for an effective diet pill, MetaboSpeed isn&#8217;t that effective diet pill.  The amounts of the ingredients are simply too low to be effective. </p>
<h2>MetaboSpeed&#8217;s Guarantee</h2>
<p>I was glad to see that they at least offer a 30 day guarantee&#8230;.until I started reading about it.  But I&#8217;ll simply quote some of it so you can see for yourself:</p>
<blockquote><p>This guarantee policy allows you to get your initial payment back via a 100% <strong>credit for your purchase</strong> (excluding shipping and handling) <strong>towards the purchase of other nutraceutical dietary supplement products</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>So the &#8216;guarantee&#8217; is only for credit to buy other products made by their company.</p>
<p>Also, here&#8217;s the loops you have jump through just to get that:</p>
<blockquote><p>   1.  Make a written request via email for your credit within 30 days from the date of your order.<br />
   2. Obtain a return authorization code and ship back within 30 days from the date of your order all bottles and products shipped to you in sale-able and sealed unopened condition within its original packaging.<br />
   3. You must purchase a multi-bottle offer(s) with a minimum purchase price of $74.88 + shipping/handling to be eligible for this offer. Single bottle orders are excluded.<br />
   4. Include your order number, full name and contact information including phone number.<br />
   5. You must be a first time customer of any of our sites and you must have purchased our product(s) directly via metabospeed.com.
</p></blockquote>
<p>And it only gets worse:</p>
<blockquote><p>A restocking fee will be the difference between the price of a item that is under the recurrent billing plan and a price of a single bottle order. The restocking fee shall be applied for any returned products with the above guidelines, and deducted from the credit provided. The restocking fee shall also be applied if the recurrent plan is cancelled before the second order was been shipped out.</p>
<p>As per United State Federal Law, we cannot refund or exchange any open bottles or packages.</p></blockquote>
<p>A horrible restocking fee policy.  Also, just fyi, there are plenty of companies that offer refunds on opened bottles so the &#8220;per United States Law&#8221; bit is rediculous.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>MetaboSpeed contains a few good ingredients, but the amounts of those ingredients are likely to be much too small to be effective.  I&#8217;m not a huge fan of how they&#8217;re marketing the product, but that&#8217;s just me.  The price is decent, but the guarantee is as close to &#8216;not a guarantee&#8217; as you can get.  I suggest looking elsewhere.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Regulate cortisol levels.</li>
<li>Decrease appetite and cravings.</li>
<li>Balance blood sugar levels&#8221; (website)</li>
</ul>
<p>This Corti-Cut review will show that there is no reason to believe any of the claims made about Corti-Cut. It is just another typical diet pill that simply wants your money.</p>
<h3>Corti-Cut Ingredients</h3>
<p>Magnolia Extract (100 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Proprietary Herbal Blend (200 mg)</strong></p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea supposedly makes you feel good; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Rosavins</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> has been shown to cause weight loss. However, it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Corti-Cut does not say the amount of green tea it contains, but since the proprietary blend is only 200 mg, there is no way Corti-Cut contains enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p>Camella Sinensis</p>
<p>Polyphenonols</p>
<p>Bitter Orange Peel Extract (Citrus Aurantium) 6% <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. With only a 6% concentration, the Synephrine in Corti-Cut will not be effective.</p>
<p>Vitamin C (60 mg) is healthy, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine </a>(100 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Phospholipids (100 mg)<span style="x-small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"> Phosphatidylserine (soy phospholipid)</span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><br />
Phosphatidylcholine (soy phospholipid)</span></p>
<p>Phosphatidylethanolamine (soy phospholipid)</p>
<p>Phosphatidylinositol (soy phospholipid)</p>
<p><span style="x-small;"><strong>Essential fatty Acid Blend (20 mg)</strong><br />
Caprylic Acid</span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;">Linoleic Acid has healthy benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;">Oleic Acid</span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;">Palmitic                         Acid</span></p>
<p><span style="x-small;">Stearic Acid</span></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be impressed by this lengthy ingredient list. The only proven ingredients are green tea and synephrine, and they are not included in high enough amounts to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Corti-Cut Cost</h3>
<p>Corti-Cut diet pills cost $38.63 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended 2 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is way too expensive for Corti-Cut. It contains a couple proven ingredients, but they are not included in the necessary amounts. Spend your money on a product that actually contains proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
<h3>Corti-Cut Guarantee</h3>
<p>Corti-Cut is manufactured by Olympian Labs. The Olympian Labs website says nothing about a guarantee for Corti-Cut diet pills. Some retailers do offer their own guarantees. We are skeptical of any company that does not guarantee their product&#8211;just one more reason not to buy Corti-Cut.</p>
<h3>Corti-Cut Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Corti-Cut review finds Corti-Cut is not the product for you. It contains only two proven ingredients, and they are not included in the necessary amounts. There is no manufacturer&#8217;s guarantee for Corti-Cut diet pills. To get real weight loss results, try one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

This Charge ASF review explains the ingredients contained in Charge ASF and reveals the truth behind the &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221; of Charge ASF diet pills.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a><span> Extract (200mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when it is taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. If you take the recommended dosage of Charge ASF, you will get 400 mg of green tea per day. Thus, this Charge ASF review finds the green tea in Charge ASF diet pills will cause weight loss.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>Extract (550mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Charge ASF diet pills do not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (9mg synepherine) 150mg does contain the proven ingredient <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>. Unfortunately, Charge ASF fails to mention the concentration of Synephrine (which is the most important aspect). Therefore, it is impossible for this Charge ASF review to determine if the concentration of Synephrine is enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract (50mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger </a>Root (10mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Charge Thermoblend: 375mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg or more per day. Since this proprietary blend contains only 375 mg; Charge ASF simply does not contain enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span> has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Naringin<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Charge ASF Price</h3>
<p>Charge ASF diet pills cost $22.99 for 120 capsules; if you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, but the only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is green tea. You would do just as well taking green tea (and it would be less expensive).</p>
<h3>Charge ASF &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221;</h3>
<p>I searched the Labrada (Charge ASF manufacturer) website for a guarantee policy. While I found no return policy, their &#8220;quality guarantee&#8221; says, &#8220;If it&#8217;s on the label, it&#8217;s in the product&#8221; (website). This is no guarantee. Labrada does not really guarantee their products. You will not get your money back if you buy Charge ASF.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Charge ASF review finds this is a mediocre product. It contains only one proven ingredient in a proven amount. Charge ASF does not live up to its claims. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes several proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

This Skinny Fast review will reveal the truth behind Skinny Fast, including details of their ingredients and supposed guarantee.</p>
<h3>Hydroxycitric Acid Update</h3>
<p>On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.  Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA&#8217;s report</p>
<p>Common symptoms of liver complications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>jaundice (yellowing of the skin)</li>
<li>brown urine</li>
<li>light colored stools</li>
<li>unusual tiredness</li>
<li>stomach pain</li>
<li>itching</li>
<li>loss of appetite</li>
<li>weakness</li>
<li>vomiting</li>
</ul>
<p>In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, &#8220;The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.&#8221; you can never be too cautious.  </p>
<p>So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise <strong>any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</strong> </p>
<h3>Skinny Fast Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine </a>(250 mg) is supposed to break down fats. However, research has not proven this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(200 mcg) has shown varying results in studies; some have shown it contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (300 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Chitosan (250 mg) contributes to weight loss but only when used in doses of 3 grams per day. This Skinny Fast review finds Skinny Fast diet pills do not contain enough Chitosan to be effective.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange Extract 334 mg (6% <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>) contributes to weight loss (due to the synephrine). However, the important aspect of synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective synephrine. With a concentration of only 6%, the synephrine in Skinny Fast will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The only ingredient included in a sufficient amount is Garcinia Cambogia. You would be better off with another diet pill, one that contains several proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>
<h3>Skinny Fast Cost</h3>
<p>We found Skinny Fast diet pills online for as low as $16.49 for a one month supply (assuming you take the recommended 3 capsules per day). This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, but considering Skinny Fast contains only one proven ingredient in the appropriate amount, any amount is too much to pay for Skinny Fast.</p>
<h3>Skinny Fast Guarantee</h3>
<p>Skinny Fast does have a guarantee, if you can call it that. In order to return Skinny Fast, you must have authorization from their customer service department. Hidden in the fine print are the details of their supposed guarantee. You will be charged a 20% restocking fee if you return Skinny Fast within 30 days. If you wait longer than 30 days, you will pay a 40% restocking fee. This is ridiculous. They really should give you more than 30 days, and there should be no fee for restocking. Be certain you will need the guarantee if you buy Skinny Fast.</p>
<h3>Skinny Fast Conclusion</h3>
<p>Skinny Fast is definitely nothing to get excited about. It contains only ONE proven ingredient in the appropriate amount. This Skinny Fast review finds the Skinny Fast &#8220;guarantee&#8221; is misleading and ridiculous. If you are serious about losing weight, look through our recommended products; they contain clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts (and they have legitimate guarantees).</p>

Ghreleptin diet pills supposedly stops cravings and &#8220;normalizes&#8221; leptin and ghrelin hormone levels. These hormones are &#8220;the single biggest factors of body fat levels&#8221; (Ghreleptin website). Ghreleptin diet pills make very lofty claims including &#8220;Lose 35 pounds, and keep it off for good!&#8221; They also claim the average person loses 12 pounds per month when taking Ghreleptin. This Ghreleptin review will test the validity of these claims and help you decide if it is worth taking.</p>
<h3>What are the ingredients in Ghreleptin diet pills?</h3>
<p>The following is the ingredient list for Ghreleptin, as listed on their website<br />
Supplement Facts<br />
Servings: 60<br />
Serving Size 2 Capsules<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Leptin Activating Blend<br />
Guarana Fruit<br />
Acai<br />
Bitter Orange<br />
Noni<br />
Mangosteen<br />
Wolfberry<br />
Pomegranate<br />
Bitter Melon<br />
Raspberry Ketones<br />
Grapeseed</p>
<p>Ghrelin Deactivating Blend<br />
Spinach Extract<br />
Broccoli Extract<br />
Garlic 100:1<br />
Celery Seed Extract<br />
Carrot extract<br />
Wheat Grass Extract<br />
Asparagus Extract<br />
Tomato Extract<br />
Shiitake Mushroom<br />
Mustard Seed Extract<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>contains caffeine, which has been proven to increase metabolism.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>can be found in the citrus aurantium fruit, also known as bitter orange.</p>
<p>Is Synephrine effective? One study performed in December of 2007 looked at the lipolysis (fat loss) effects of Satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus unshu Mark) peel on the fat cells of rats (I know, it’s always rats).  A high concentration of Synephrine was present in the peel and lipoloysis effects were present. The overall conclusion:</p>
<p>These results suggest that the segment wall, an edible fraction, from Satsuma mandarin orange might be useful as a functional food, especially as a fat-reducing material.<br />
Punicic acid is derived from pomegranate seed oil. It has been proven to help eliminate fat cells (see the study abstract here). <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12396127">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12396127</a></p>
<p>Studies show <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >raspberry ketones</a> induced weight loss in mice with a diet containing 2% of the total diet as raspberry ketones. No studies have been done on humans. Note: in order to take in 2% of raspberry ketones as your total diet you would have to take a ton of these Ghreleptin diet pills.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic </a>does help regulate blood sugar levels, which can aid in weight loss.</p>
<p>This Ghreleptin review has found the ingredients in Ghreleptin can contribute to weight loss if they are used in the appropriate amounts. However, Ghreleptin fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included in the diet pills. This makes it virtually impossible to know whether the amounts are sufficient to produce positive results.</p>
<h3>How much does Ghreleptin cost?</h3>
<p>One bottle of Ghreleptin (120 capsules) will cost you $29.95. If you take the recommended maximum dose of 8 per day, one bottle will last 15 days. That makes Ghreleptin $2 per day. This is very expensive, especially for a product that does not provide adequate information about ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>Does Ghreleptin have a money back guarantee?</h3>
<p>This is a good question. Ghreleptin can be purchased only from their official website. The website is very basic and provides extremely limited information. There are break-off websites with addresses similar to Ghreleptin. These websites have the same look of the official website, but they are run by individuals. The break-off websites claim there is a money back guarantee, but the official website has no such information.</p>
<h3>What are the side effects of Ghreleptin?</h3>
<p>The side effects of Ghreleptin include increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.</p>
<h3>Ghreleptin conclusion</h3>
<p>Ghreleptin diet pills are all hype. They have a lengthy list of ingredients. Some of these ingredients actually can contribute to weight loss. However, this Ghreleptin review finds that due to the undisclosed ingredient amounts, we cannot determine how effective this product is. We recommend using a diet pill that has been proven to be effective.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Help accelerate calorie burning with diet &amp; exercise</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increase metabolic rate</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Control appetite and boost energy&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>While SlimBody XP makes bold claims, they fail to back them up. They include proven ingredients in a proprietary blend, hiding how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin E (6IU) is good for overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (75 mg) has healthy benefits, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Zinc (6 mg) is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a>(50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have found chromium contributes to weight loss while other studies have shown it does not.</p>
<p>SlimBody XP Proprietary Blend</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Yerba Mate</a>. SlimBody XP does contain Damiana, but it does not contain Yerba Mate. Thus, this SlimBody XP review finds the Guarana in SlimBody XP will not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bee Pollen does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Korean Ginseng has not been shown to cause weight loss in humans.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger </a>Root is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Lecithin supposedly breaks down fat. However, research does not back these claims.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. This makes it impossible for this SlimBody XP review to determine if there is enough caffeine in SlimBody XP diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, a clinically proven ingredient. The most important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration. The higher the concentration of Synephrine the more effective it is in contributing to weight loss. Again, SlimBody XP fails to disclose the concentration of Synephrine contained.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> is another proven ingredient. Since green tea is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no way of knowing if there is enough contained in SlimBody XP diet pills to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Pepper</a> improves digestion. More research is needed to determine the effect of Cayenne on weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana </a>causes weight loss when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana and Yerba Mate</a>. SlimBody XP contains Guarana but not Yerba Mate.</p>
<p>Sasparilla Leaf</p>
<p>Goldenseal Leaf</p>
<p>Nettles Leaf</p>
<p>Gotu Kols</p>
<p>Spirulina</p>
<p>Royal Jelly</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Cost</h3>
<p>SlimBody XP diet pills cost $39.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. Since SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much of the proven ingredients are included, any amount is too much to pay for SlimBody XP.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Guarantee</h3>
<p>SlimBody XP offers a 30 day guarantee. They give a full refund or 150% product credit for returns. Be sure you will need the guarantee if you buy SlimBody XP.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Conclusion</h3>
<p>This SlimBody XP review finds SlimBody XP is not worth your time or money. It is typical of so many diet pills; SlimBody XP hides the amount of proven ingredients included, most likely because they include very small amounts of each ingredient. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

It is a diuretic diet pill (it will basically keep you on the toilet).  This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is a subpar diet pill that does not give real weight loss results.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Hydroxynol (50% hydroxycitrate) 2050mg<br />
</span></span><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Bitter Orange Extract (334 mg) contains </span></span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Hydro Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Extract (22% caffeine) (910mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Hydro Burn does not contain Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Hydro Burn review finds the Guarana in Hydro Burn diet pills will not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Salicin Complex 100mg</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> (100mg) is supposed to help break down fats; however, research has not proven this.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">(300mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss, but other studies have shown the opposite.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Extract (50mg) is often used to remedy digestive problems. More research needs to be done to determine the effects of cayenne on weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Urva Ursi (50mg) is used to treat various maladies including bladder infection. Research shows Uva Ursi can have unsafe interactions with diuretics (like dandelion). It does not contribute to weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Dandelion (50mg) is a diuretic. It does not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Hydro Burn Cost</h3>
<p>Hydro Burn diet pills cost $24.23 for 160 capsules. If you take the maximum dosage of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last 13 days. This is quite expensive, especially considering Hydro Burn does not contain proven ingredients in proven amounts. Don&#8217;t bother with Hydro Burn; look for a diet pill with proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Guarantee</h3>
<p>Universal Nutrition (maker of Hydro Burn diet pills) does not have a guarantee for Hydro Burn. Some websites that sell Hydro Burn have their own guarantee and return policies. If you do decide to try Hydro Burn, be sure you know the return policy of the company you purchase from; you will probably need it.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is another run-of-the mill diet pill. It does not include proven ingredients in proven amounts; look for a diet pill that does. Stay away from Hydro Burn. It won&#8217;t give you the results you are looking for. Hydro Burn will probably keep you on the toilet, but it won&#8217;t give you lasting weight loss results.</p>

It is a diuretic diet pill (it will basically keep you on the toilet).  This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is a subpar diet pill that does not give real weight loss results.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Hydroxynol (50% hydroxycitrate) 2050mg<br />
</span></span><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Bitter Orange Extract (334 mg) contains </span></span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Hydro Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Extract (22% caffeine) (910mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Hydro Burn does not contain Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Hydro Burn review finds the Guarana in Hydro Burn diet pills will not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Salicin Complex 100mg</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> (100mg) is supposed to help break down fats; however, research has not proven this.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">(300mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss, but other studies have shown the opposite.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Extract (50mg) is often used to remedy digestive problems. More research needs to be done to determine the effects of cayenne on weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Urva Ursi (50mg) is used to treat various maladies including bladder infection. Research shows Uva Ursi can have unsafe interactions with diuretics (like dandelion). It does not contribute to weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Dandelion (50mg) is a diuretic. It does not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

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

		<description><![CDATA[<p>MaxxTrim is a diet pill that &#8220;has been a proven &#8217;secret weapon&#8217; used to melt fat for millions of consumers, athletes, and movie stars worldwide with an amazing track record unmatched by any other supplement in existence&#8221; (website). This MaxxTrim review will dissect the bold claims made by MaxxTrim to reveal what you can really expect from MaxxTrim diet pills.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Ingredients</h3>
<p>Proprietary Blend 200 mg</p>
<p>Thermo-Rx/Acacia Rigidula is contained in many diet pills, but it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Theobrome Cocoa Extract is a mood enhancer. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbe Bark causes fatty acid mobilization, leading to weight loss. Unfortunately, MaxxTrim diet pills do not list how much yohimbe they contain.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(200 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange Extract (40 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. More important than the amount of synephrine is the concentration contained&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. Unfortunately, MaxxTrim does not reveal the concentration of synephrine contained.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea </a>(50 mg) is another clinically proven diet pill ingredient. However, studies have found green tea is only effective when included in amounts of at least 300 mg per day. This MaxxTrim review finds there is not enough green tea in MaxxTrim diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root Powder</a> (40 mg) calms the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Powder </a>20 mg</p>
<p>Bladderwrak Powder 40 mg</p>
<p>Mustard Seed Powder 20 mg</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Powder (60 mg) is an anti-inflammatory; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Cost</h3>
<p>MaxxTrim costs $54.95 for 30 day supply.  When you purchase MaxxTrim diet pills from the MaxxTrim website, you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship you more pills each month and charge your credit card).</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Guarantee</h3>
<p>MaxxTrim gives refunds only on unopened bottles and only within 30 days of purchase. So, if you only order one bottle and it doesn&#8217;t work for you, you can&#8217;t get your money back. We do not like the unopened bottles only policy, nor do we like that MaxxTrim only gives you 30 days to return the product.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Marketing</h3>
<p>The MaxxTrim website makes some bold claims about MaxxTrim being better than any other product. When you look at the ingredients, you realize the only ingredient contained in a sufficient amount is caffeine. Thus, MaxxTrim is really no different from numerous other diet pills out there. Don&#8217;t be fooled by MaxxTrim&#8217;s outrageous claims; you will only be disappointed.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This MaxxTrim review finds there is no difference between MaxxTrim and dozens of other diet pills out there. It contains several proven ingredients, but not in sufficient amounts to cause weight loss. Look for a diet pill which contains enough of each proven ingredient.</p>
