		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/leanfire-inferno.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-785" title="leanfire-inferno" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/leanfire-inferno.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="150" /></a><span style="red;">Leanfire Inferno is a diet pill that &#8220;</span>contains powerful adrenergic amines that function to increase your metabolic rate, which in turn burns extra calories. These powerful ingredients also increase adrenaline and noradrenalin release specifically in the beta-3 receptor sites, which maximizes the breakdown of fat&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>This Leanfire Inferno review tells the real story about this product. The company website has glitches and there is no way to contact the company. On top of that, Leanfire Inferno is too expensive.</p>
<h3>Leanfire Inferno Ingredients</h3>
<p>Niacin 30 (mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>(20 mg) has proven itself to be an effective diet pill ingredient. The most important thing about synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Leanfire Inferno does not say the concentration of the synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Yohimbine (4.5 mg) causes weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea </a>(300 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. This Leanfire Inferno review finds Leanfire Inferno diet pills do contain enough green tea to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> (200 mg) is dried caffeine; it has the same effects. Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Leanfire Inferno contains a large amount of caffeine (green tea contains caffeine as well). Carefully consider your own reactions to caffeine before taking Leanfire Inferno; it could cause side effects associated with caffeine (jitters, sleeplessness).</p>
<p>E and G <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Gugglesterones </a>(15 mg) do not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Sclareolid 20 mg</p>
<p>Incinerator blend 50 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne pepper</a> improves digestion and circulation; more research needs to be done to determine the effect on weight loss.</p>
<p>Black and white pepper</p>
<h3>Leanfire Inferno Cost</h3>
<p>Leanfire Inferno diet pills cost $39.99 for 92 liquid-caps. If you take the recommended 4 liquid-caps per day, one bottle will last 23 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill, especially since it basically contains caffeine and yohimbine. You can find these ingredients in more effective diet pills for less money; look through our recommended products for some ideas.</p>
<h3>Leanfire Inferno Marketing and Website</h3>
<p>The links on the Leanfire Inferno website were not working at the time of this review. I was only able to view the website by using the links from a search engine. In addition, there is NO customer service information on the Leanfire Inferno website. They list only a contact address. There is no customer service phone number or email, so there is no good way to contact the company.</p>
<p>The Leanfire Inferno website says nothing about a guarantee, and I had no way of asking the company about their return policy. This leads me to believe there is no guarantee with Leanfire Inferno diet pills.</p>
<p>I am always skeptical about companies that make it impossible for customers to contact them; it makes me think they must have something to hide.</p>
<h3>Leanfire Inferno Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Leanfire Inferno review finds Leanfire Inferno is not worth your time. Although it does contain a few proven ingredients, the fact that the company does not want customers to contact them is troubling. Look through our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in proven amounts, and their manufacturers have good customer service.</p>

It supposedly provides extra estrogen and contributes to weight loss. This Estrolean review will reveal the truth behind Estrolean diet pills to show you what you can realistically expect from Estrolean.</p>
<h3>Estrolean Ingredients</h3>
<p>Phytoestrogen Hormonal Balancers:</p>
<p>Apple Extract (100 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Pomegranate Extract (standardized for 2% Estrone) (100 mg) is supposed to provide estrogen; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Sea Vegetable Extract (150 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Plant Based Enzymes:</p>
<p>Lipase</p>
<p>Protease</p>
<p>Amylase</p>
<p>Herbal Metabogenics:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>Extract has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Estrolean does contain Yerba Mate, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Estrolean review finds the Guarana in Estrolean diet pills will not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> Extract is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, Estrolean fails to list how much green tea it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yerba 300 mg, Mate Extract (standardized for 66.6 mg caffeine) does contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Estrolean contains Guarana but not Damiana.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root</a> Extract (100 mg) has been shown to cal the stomach, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Black Pepper Extract</p>
<p>Licorice</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange) 66.6 mg (standardized for 4% synephrine)&#8211;<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. It is important to note the concentration of the synephrine included. Estrolean contains a 4 % concentration of synephrine. Ideally, you want to see a high concentration of synephrine. A 4% concentration of synephrine is not enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Rhodiola rosea (50 mg) may help improve mood, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Rhododendron caucasicum Extract</p>
<h3>Estrolean Cost</h3>
<p>We found Estrolean diet pills online for as low as $16.49 per month. While this is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, the ingredients in Estrolean will not cause weight loss so any amount is too much for Estrolean.</p>
<h3>Estrolean Guarantee?</h3>
<p>Estrolean is manufactured by Bodyonics. Their website is not currently working. Thus, we found no guarantee listed through the manufacturer. Some websites do offer their own guarantee when you make a purchase. Given the ingredients in Estrolean (and that they hide how much green tea is contained), you would definitely need a guarantee with Estrolean diet pills. We are always concerned when the manufacturer&#8217;s website is not working.</p>
<h3>Estrolean Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Estrolean review finds Estrolean diet pills are not what you are looking for to fulfill your weight loss dreams. Estrolean does contain two proven ingredients (green tea and synephrine). However, they hide how much green tea is contained, and the concentration of synephrine is far too low to contribute to weight loss. We recommend looking for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-523" title="herbaleanfx" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/herbaleanfx.jpg" alt="herbaleanfx" width="84" height="150" />Herbalean FX is &#8220;a multi-pathway fat loss agonist designed to support body fat loss, increase lean muscle mass, and increase energy levels without the use of ephedrine based ingredients&#8221; (website).<br />
This Herbalean FX review will explore the ingredients contained in Herbalean FX as well as the marketing strategies behind this product.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Ingredients</h2>
<p>Proprietary HerbaLean Fx™ Blend	1450mg	*<br />
Advantra Z® Bitter Orange Extract<br />
Green Tea Extract<br />
South African Hoodia<br />
Seromine™ (Proprietary Cocoa Extract Standardized For PEA [Phenylethylamine], Tyramine, Theobromine And Caffeine)<br />
Neuroplex™ (Proprietary Blend Of L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Tyrosine),<br />
Isoplex™ (Proprietary Blend Of 3,3&#8242;,4&#8242;,5-7 Pentahydroxy-Flavone And 3,3&#8242;,4&#8242;,7-Tetrahydroxyflavone).<br />
HerbaLean Fx™ Potentiator Blend	130mg	*<br />
Baical Skullcap Root And Black Catechu Bark<br />
Black Pepper Fruit Extract</p>
<p>Naringin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> is made of Synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Herbalean FX includes Advantra Z in a proprietary blend, so there is no way for this Herbalean FX review to determine if there is enough Advantra Z in Herbalean FX diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. Again, Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia</a>, despite popular belief, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss. Do not be fooled by the gimmicky claims about hoodia; it won&#8217;t do anything for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >PEA (Phenylethylamine)</a> is often called &#8220;The Love Drug&#8221;. However, it is metabolized very quickly, so it may not actually have any effect. More human research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >Tyrosine</a> is an amino acid used to synthesize proteins. It is found in many dairy products. Research has shown Tyrosine contributes to weight loss. However, Tyrosine must be taken at 500 to 1500 mg per day to be effective. Herbalean FX does not disclose how much Tyrosine is contained in the proprietary blend. It is unlikely that there is enough Tyrosine in Herbalean FX to be effective.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Cost</h2>
<p>Herbalean FX diet pills cost $23.99 for 120 capsules (this was the least expensive price we found online by far). If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last one month. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, but since Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included, it is impossible to know if Herbalean FX will be effective. Thus, any price for Herbalean FX would be too expensive.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Marketing</h2>
<p>The Herbalean FX website shows pictures of &#8220;Kaizen Sponsored Athletes&#8221; (Kaizen is the manufacturer of Herbalean FX). They do not explain who these people are&#8211;if they took Herbalean FX or why they are featured on the website. Most of the &#8220;sponsored athletes&#8221; look like bodybuilders. Like so many other diet pill companies, Kaizen uses unbelievable photos and testimonials to sell Herbalean FX diet pills.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Conclusion</h2>
<p>This Herbalean FX review finds Herbalean FX does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. However, they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, it is impossible for this Herbalean FX review to determine how effective this product will be. Don&#8217;t make the gamble; use a product that you can be confident will work. Look at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >Tyrosine</a> is an amino acid used to synthesize proteins. It is found in many dairy products. Research has shown Tyrosine contributes to weight loss. However, Tyrosine must be taken at 500 to 1500 mg per day to be effective. Herbalean FX does not disclose how much Tyrosine is contained in the proprietary blend. It is unlikely that there is enough Tyrosine in Herbalean FX to be effective.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Cost</h2>
<p>Herbalean FX diet pills cost $23.99 for 120 capsules (this was the least expensive price we found online by far). If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last one month. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, but since Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included, it is impossible to know if Herbalean FX will be effective. Thus, any price for Herbalean FX would be too expensive.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Marketing</h2>
<p>The Herbalean FX website shows pictures of &#8220;Kaizen Sponsored Athletes&#8221; (Kaizen is the manufacturer of Herbalean FX). They do not explain who these people are&#8211;if they took Herbalean FX or why they are featured on the website. Most of the &#8220;sponsored athletes&#8221; look like bodybuilders. Like so many other diet pill companies, Kaizen uses unbelievable photos and testimonials to sell Herbalean FX diet pills.</p>
<h2>Herbalean FX Conclusion</h2>
<p>This Herbalean FX review finds Herbalean FX does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. However, they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, it is impossible for this Herbalean FX review to determine how effective this product will be. Don&#8217;t make the gamble; use a product that you can be confident will work. Look at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>
