			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-675" title="adipo-x" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/adipo-x.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="150" />Adipo-X is &#8220;the most effective, most innovative, scientifically engineered  fat loss formula designed to boost your metabolism and heighten energy levels  with no crash. Adipo-X™ increases the metabolism safely and naturally  with the most unique fat burning formula ever developed. Adipo-X™ destroys fat  and lets you get ripped, while allowing you to retain your hard earned muscle&#8221; (website). This Adipo-X review will detail the ingredients contained in Adipo-X as well as explore marketing techniques employed by Adipo-X to help you see what you can expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B1 (5 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B3 (10 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (10 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium Carbonate (50 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Sesame Seed Oil (1398 mg)</p>
<p>Adipo-X Proprietary Blend (771 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> USP is merely dried caffeine. Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, Adipo-X fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough caffeine to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> AKG does contribute to weight loss. However, it has to be taken in doses of 500-1500 mg per day. It is VERY unlikely that Adipo-X contains enough L-Tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Raspberry Ketones 99% have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice. No human research has been done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> (Citrus Aurantium 30%) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The important thing with Synephrine is the concentration (the higher the better). Adipo-X lists the concentration of Citrus Aurantium but not the concentration of Synephrine.</p>
<p>Capsaicin Extract (Cayenne) can improve circulation and digestion. However, more research needs to be done to determine the effectiveness in weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbe PE (8% Yohimbine) does cause weight loss, but once again Adipo-X diet pills do not list how much Yohimbe they contain.</p>
<p>Paprika Extract</p>
<p>Ginger Root Extract (20% Gingerols)</p>
<p>Coleus Forskholi (40% Forskolin) does contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 250 mg per day. Adipo-X does not say how much coleus forskholi it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is another clinically proven diet pill. Since Adipo-X hides how much green tea it contains, it is impossible for this Adipo-X review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>aids in the absorption of nutrients; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>You will notice that Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included. This makes it impossible to know how effective Adipo-X diet pills will actually be.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Cost</h3>
<p>Adipo-X diet pills cost $39.96 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 40 days. This is not expensive for a diet pill, but considering Adipo-X does not list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to know how effective Adipo-X will be. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for Adipo-X.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Marketing</h3>
<p>The Adipo-X website says, &#8220;If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase of Adipo-X, return  the bottle with your invoice or receipt for a full refund.&#8221; They do not give any further information about their guarantee; they do not say how much time you have to return the product or if you will be charged a restocking fee.</p>
<p>The Adipo-X website mentions a free trial. However, they do not give any information on what the trial is or what strings are attached to the free trial.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Adipo-X review finds Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden. Thus, we recommend looking for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-630" title="xpel" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/xpel.jpg" alt="" width="85" height="150" /><span class="subHeadline">Xpel is a diuretic diet pill that will help you &#8220;see results in just 12 hours&#8221; (website).<strong> </strong>This Xpel review will examine the validity behind Xpel&#8217;s claims as well as expose the truth behind Xpel&#8217;s marketing to show you what you can really expect from Xpel diet pills.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Xpel Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B12 50mg<br />
Magnesium (from electrolyte blend) 100mg<br />
Calcium (from electrolyte blend) 200mg<br />
Potassium (from electrolyte blend) 90mg</p>
<p>Xeritone-PSD Herbal Diuretic Blend: 1,200mg<br />
Buchu leaf (Barosma betulina)</p>
<p>Cornsilk stylus (Zea mays)</p>
<p>Couchgrass rhizome(Agropyron repens)</p>
<p>Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens)</p>
<p>Juniper berry fruit (Juniperus communis)</p>
<p>Uva ursi leaf (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)</p>
<p>Dandelion root 5:1 extract (20% taraxasterol and 3% choline)</p>
<p>Horsetail extract (7% soluble silica)(whole plant)</p>
<p>Electrolyte Blend: 1,141mg<br />
Calcium carbonate</p>
<p>Potassium citrate</p>
<p>Calcium gluconate</p>
<p>Magnesium oxide</p>
<p>Green tea leaf &amp; Guarana seed extract: 120mg<br />
(providing 75mg caffeine)</p>
<p>Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium have healthy benefits, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Buchu and Juniper have shown to be a diuretic in mice, but no human studies have been done.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi is used to treat various medical problems such as headache and bladder infection. There is evidence that unsafe interactions can occur when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu and Juniper).</p>
<p>There is no evidence that dandelion or horsetail contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. However, studies proving green tea use 300 mg per day. This Xpel review finds there is not enough green tea in Xpel diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. Xpel diet pills do not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate.</p>
<p>Xpel claims to be better than other diuretics, but if you compare the ingredients, they are exactly the same.</p>
<h3>Xpel Cost</h3>
<p>Xpel diet pills cost $15.99 for 80 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is expensive for a diet pill. The only proven ingredient in Xpel is green tea, and there is not enough of it to make a difference in weight loss.</p>
<h3>Xpel Guarantee</h3>
<p><span class="style30">The MHP website (manufacturer of Xpel) states, &#8220;All Maximum Human Performance products are covered by a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you&#8217;re not completely satisfied with your product, simply return it with a brief description of the problem.&#8221; This guarantee provides little necessary information. It makes us wonder what the fine print about their guarantee really is.</span></p>
<h3>Xpel Marketing</h3>
<p>The MHP website is packed with pictures of bulging biceps on professional body builders. They must be going for a teenage audience because who honestly believes that a diuretic can give you a body builder&#8217;s body.</p>
<p>They claim, &#8220;The precise and ample amounts of water reducing ingredients in XPEL go to work around your muscle cells to eliminate excess water and give your skin a tight &#8216;plastic wrap&#8217; appearance&#8221; (website). This is just another example of outrageous claims that cannot possibly be true. Using a diuretic will probably keep you on the toilet for a few days, but it is not going to increase your muscles.</p>
<h3>Xpel Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Xpel review finds Xpel diet pills are like any other diuretic. They contain only one proven ingredient, and there isn&#8217;t enough of it included to cause weight loss. Xpel tries to impress you with incredible photos and claims, but there is no scientific evidence that Xpel will cause any weight loss at all. Do yourself a favor and go with a diet pill that has proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
