		<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>

This Ephedra Hoodia Fusion review will reveal the hidden ingredients in Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills as well as discuss the pros and cons of ephedra.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Ingredients</h3>
<p>The following are the ingredients found in Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills. This list is NOT on the Ephedra Hoodia Fusion website. We obtained this ingredient list by calling Customer Service.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 4 mg<br />
Vitamin B12 12 mg<br />
Chromium Picolinate 120 mcg<br />
Ephedra 10 mg<br />
Hoodia Gordonii 5 mg<br />
Caffeine 250 mg<br />
Salicylate 150 mg (willow bark)<br />
Bitter orange 100 mg<br />
Proprietary Blend 400 mg<br />
Green tea<br />
Ginger root<br />
Bladderwrak<br />
Citrus</p>
<p>Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to a healthy diet, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> is an ingredient with controversial results from clinical studies. Some studies have found chromium to contribute to weight loss while other studies have found it does not.</p>
<p>Ephedra is a very effective weight loss ingredient. However, ephedra has been banned by the FDA because of its serious and sometimes even deadly side effects. We cannot recommend any diet pill containing ephedra. Make certain you understand all the possible risks and side effects of ephedra before choosing a product containing ephedra.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a> is a very overrated diet pill ingredient. There is NO scientific proof that hoodia actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when used in a dose of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Ephedra Hoodia Fusion review finds the amount of caffeine in Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is a proven diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, Ephedra Hoodia Fusion includes green tea in a proprietary blend, making it impossible to know if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Free Sample</h3>
<p>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion offers a free sample if you pay $4.97 for the shipping. By signing up for the free sample, you also become enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship the product every month and charge your credit card $69.45).  You can cancel within 14 days to avoid being charged.</p>
<p>The details of the free sample are hidden in the small print. Customers could easily be mislead by the wording on the main page and be surprised when they are charged for Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Customer Service</h3>
<p>The Ephedra Hoodia Fusion website lists a Delaware mailing address to contact the company. Interestingly, their customer service number has Pacific Standard Time hours. When you call the customer service number, the recording that picks up is a woman with an English accent.</p>
<p>The customer service agent I spoke with had little or no knowledge about Ephedra Hoodia Fusion. When I asked him what the ingredients were, he put me on hold for several minutes. When he came back on the line, he tried to read the list of ingredients but could not pronounce them. Although I have written nearly 200 diet pill reviews, I could not figure out what the ingredients were he was trying to say. I had to have him spell nearly every ingredient.</p>
<p>I asked if there was a non autoship option. He told me there is a non autoship option (although it is not listed on the website), and he even offered it to me for half price. I guess this means if you are considering Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills, call customer service to get it for half price.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ephedra Hoodia Fusion review finds this is a product that definitely should not be taken without serious consideration. The side effects of ephedra can be extremely serious and possibly deadly. The amounts of the other proven ingredients are not enough to cause weight loss. The deceptive and uninformed nature of the Ephedra Hoodia Fusion website and customer service are enough to keep us from recommending this product. Look for an alternative diet pill, perhaps one containing synephrine.</p>
