</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>
