<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Ingredients</h3>
<p>Thiamin<br />
Niacin<br />
Vitamin B6<br />
Folate<br />
Vitamin B12<br />
Biotin<br />
Pantothenic Acid<br />
Calcium<br />
Iodine<br />
Magnesium<br />
Zinc<br />
Copper<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a> has shown varying results in clinical trials; some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss while others have shown the opposite.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a> is an excellent diet pill. It has to be used in doses of 300 mg or more per day in order to be effective at causing weight loss. Unfortunately, MeltRX 24 Ultra fails to list how much Green tea it contains, making it impossible for this MeltRX 24 Ultra review to determine if there is enough Green tea in MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Cinnamon<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a> root<br />
Ginko Biloba supports memory function, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/">Garcinia Cambogia</a> contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, recent reports from the FDA show HCA may be linked to serious health concerns for the liver. Therefore, we cannot endorse a product containing HCA.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to help increase focus during stressful periods. It does cause weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. Again, MeltRX 24 Ultra does not say how much L-Tyrosine it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glutamine-review/">L-Glutamine</a> is produced naturally by the body. It is unlikely that you would need to supplement with L-Glutamine because your body produces as much as it needs.<br />
Lecithin</p>
<p>You will note that MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills do contain a few proven diet pill ingredients. However, it does not reveal how much of each ingredient it contains. Additionally, MeltRX 24 Ultra contains HCA, which can cause liver problems. Therefore, we cannot recommend MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Price</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills cost $54 for a 13 day supply, with a discount for buying in bulk. This is WAY too much to pay for this product. There is no reason to believe MeltRX 24 Ultra will actually cause weight loss, and considering the possible danger of HCA, you shouldn&#8217;t bother even trying MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Guarantee</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra has a 30 day, 110% money back guarantee. Although we do like to see a guarantee, 30 days is not enough time to know whether or not a diet pill will actually work. We prefer to see a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Conclusion</h3>
<p>This MeltRX 24 Ultra review finds this product is potentially dangerous, and there is no reason to believe it will really cause weight loss. It is also way too expensive. If you are really interested in losing weight, go with a product that includes ingredients that have been clinically proven, ingredients that will not be dangerous to your health.</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>

<p>LipoFlush diet pills supposedly &#8220;dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits&#8221; (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.</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>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Ingredients</h3>
</p>
<p>Vitamin D3 (100 IU) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B5 (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (25 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (100 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Potassium (99 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (415 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (200 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Zinc (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.</p>
<p>Choline (650 mg) supposedly reduces body fat, but studies do not back up this claim.</p>
<p>L-Carnitine (450 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine (4 mg) increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (300 mg) contains Synephrine, which is a great, proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. LipoFlush does not disclose the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this LipoFlush review to determine if the Synephrine in LipoFlush diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (100 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but 100 mg isn&#8217;t going to do much.</p>
<p>Cordyceps Sinesis (100 mg)</p>
<p>Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hawthorne Berry (100 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine (99 mg) is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is not enough caffeine in LipoFlush diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>LipoFlush Proprietary Complex 4000 mg</p>
<p>Acanthopanax Senticosus</p>
<p>Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA)  helps produce energy. However, the human body makes plenty of ALA, so there is no need to supplement.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf</p>
<p>Beta Sitosterol</p>
<p>Betaine</p>
<p>Capsicum</p>
<p>Cellulose</p>
<p>Cinnamon</p>
<p>Damiana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and guarana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and guarana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Genistein</p>
<p>Ginger</p>
<p>Grape Seed</p>
<p>Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and damiana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Guggul extract is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, research does not support these claims.</p>
<p>Glycine</p>
<p>Hoodia does absolutely nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Inositol transports fat from the liver. Again, LipoFlush hides how much Inositol it contains.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p>Kola Nut</p>
<p>Lecithin</p>
<p>L-Histidine</p>
<p>L-Tyrosine is effective when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that LipoFlush contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Green Tea is a very effective ingredient, but LipoFlush does not list how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p>Magnesium</p>
<p>Mucuna Puriens</p>
<p>Panax Ginseng</p>
<p>Phosphatidylserine</p>
<p>Quercetine dihydrate</p>
<p>Siler extract</p>
<p>Theobroma Cocoa Complex</p>
<p>White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Cost</h3>
</p>
<p>LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Research</h3>
</p>
<p>The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Conclusion</h3>
</p>
<p>This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won&#8217;t break your bank.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/formula-pi2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-781" title="formula-pi2" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/formula-pi2.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="70" /></a>Formula Pi2 is a chocolate soft chew diet supplement that supposedly leaves users feeling full, leading to weight loss. However, this Formula Pi2 review reveals the flaws in the claims made about Formula Pi2. It also shows you the truth behind the Formula Pi2 Affiliate Program.</p>
<h3>Formula Pi2 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Potato Protein Powder (300 mg) supposedly helps users feel full, but there has not been sufficient research to prove this claim.</p>
<p>Calcium (100 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>White Tea (30 mg) does contain antioxidants, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>As you can see, NONE of the ingredients in Formula Pi2 has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Thus, this Formula Pi2 review finds no reason for anyone to purchase Formula Pi2.</p>
<h3>Formula Pi2 Price</h3>
<p>Formula Pi2 costs $39.95 per month if you sign up for autoship (meaning they automatically ship new product each month and charge your credit card. If you choose to go without autoship, you will pay $44.95 for a one month supply.</p>
<p>Formula Pi2 does offer a 30 day free trial. Unlike many other companies, Formula Pi2 allows you to take the full 30 days and then decide if you want to reorder or not. Don&#8217;t get too excited, though; this is one of the only good things about Formula Pi2.</p>
<h3>Formula Pi2 Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Formula Pi2 website only talks about canceling the autoship option. It does not say anything about a guarantee or return policy. This leads us to believe there is no guarantee for Formula Pi2.</p>
<h3>Formula Pi2 Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>Formula Pi2 has an &#8220;Affiliate Program.&#8221; In other words, it is a pyramid company (you get commission on sales made by people who sign up under your name). We are not fond of pyramid companies. There is NO reason to believe Formula Pi2 will do anything for weight loss, no matter what the Formula Pi2 website (or your family or friends) may claim. They simply want you to join their program so they can get more money.</p>
<p>The Formula Pi2 website explains, &#8220;Commissions are 20% on first-time orders and 10% on recurring Auto Ship orders. Auto Ship orders are automatic shipments sent to the customer each month. That means you will get a regular recurring commission ON EACH of the shipments!&#8221;</p>
<h3>Formula Pi2 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Formula Pi2 review finds Formula Pi2 is no different than dozens of other diet pills. They make claims they can&#8217;t back up and use a pyramid scheme to lure people into buying and selling Formula Pi2. Don&#8217;t bother with Formula Pi2. Instead, look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts; you will be glad you did.</p>

<ol>
<li>Cravex helps suppress appetite whole boosting energy.</li>
<li>Cravex helps increase your metabolic rate.</li>
<li>Cravex helps eliminate excess fat.</li>
<li>Cravex helps balance blood-glucose regulation and control blood-glucose levels.</li>
<li>Cravex, along with reduction in calories and exercise, will help you achieve your weight loss goals.</li>
</ol>
<p>This Cravex review will detail the ingredients in Cravex as well as the Cravex guarantee (or lack thereof) to help you determine if Cravex diet pills are the right choice for your diet pill needs.</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>Cravex Ingredients</h3>
<p>Calcium (180 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(120 mg) has shown varying results in clinical studies; some have shown it contributes to weight loss but others have not.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (1000 mg) contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) (600 mg) contributes to weight loss (why Cravex includes both garcinia cambogia and HCA I can&#8217;t say; it is not necessary).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> (300 mg) causes weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Thus, this Cravex review finds there is enough green tea in Cravex diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Polyphenols (75 mg) do not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(60 mg) contributes to weight loss by increasing the metabolic rate.</p>
<h3>Cravex Cost</h3>
<p>Cravex diet pills cost $31.49 for 90 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While Cravex does contain some clinically proven ingredients, you can find the same ingredients contained in other diet pills for much less cost.</p>
<h3>Cravex Guarantee</h3>
<p>Cravex is made by Natrol, who also makes several other diet pills. The Natrol website does list 30 day guarantees for some of their other products, but they make no mention of a guarantee for Cravex. This leads me to believe there is no guarantee for Cravex. I wonder why Natrol is willing to stand behind some of their products but not others.</p>
<h3>Cravex Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Cravex review finds Cravex diet pills do contain some very good, clinically proven diet pill ingredients. However, you can get the same ingredients in other diet pills for much less money. Also, since there is no guarantee for Cravex, you can&#8217;t get your money back. Go with a diet pill that is backed up by the manufacturer, one that contains clinically proven ingredients in necessary amounts.</p>

<ol>
<li>Cravex helps suppress appetite whole boosting energy.</li>
<li>Cravex helps increase your metabolic rate.</li>
<li>Cravex helps eliminate excess fat.</li>
<li>Cravex helps balance blood-glucose regulation and control blood-glucose levels.</li>
<li>Cravex, along with reduction in calories and exercise, will help you achieve your weight loss goals.</li>
</ol>
<p>This Cravex review will detail the ingredients in Cravex as well as the Cravex guarantee (or lack thereof) to help you determine if Cravex diet pills are the right choice for your diet pill needs.</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>Cravex Ingredients</h3>
<p>Calcium (180 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(120 mg) has shown varying results in clinical studies; some have shown it contributes to weight loss but others have not.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (1000 mg) contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) (600 mg) contributes to weight loss (why Cravex includes both garcinia cambogia and HCA I can&#8217;t say; it is not necessary).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> (300 mg) causes weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Thus, this Cravex review finds there is enough green tea in Cravex diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Polyphenols (75 mg) do not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(60 mg) contributes to weight loss by increasing the metabolic rate.</p>
<h3>Cravex Cost</h3>
<p>Cravex diet pills cost $31.49 for 90 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While Cravex does contain some clinically proven ingredients, you can find the same ingredients contained in other diet pills for much less cost.</p>
<h3>Cravex Guarantee</h3>
<p>Cravex is made by Natrol, who also makes several other diet pills. The Natrol website does list 30 day guarantees for some of their other products, but they make no mention of a guarantee for Cravex. This leads me to believe there is no guarantee for Cravex. I wonder why Natrol is willing to stand behind some of their products but not others.</p>
<h3>Cravex Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Cravex review finds Cravex diet pills do contain some very good, clinically proven diet pill ingredients. However, you can get the same ingredients in other diet pills for much less money. Also, since there is no guarantee for Cravex, you can&#8217;t get your money back. Go with a diet pill that is backed up by the manufacturer, one that contains clinically proven ingredients in necessary amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/suvaril.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-757" title="suvaril" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/suvaril.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="137" /></a>Suvaril is a typical diet pill that promises weight loss but fails to prove that it actually works. The Suvaril website claims, &#8220;Only Suvaril can deliver consistent moderate weight loss.&#8221; Obviously this is untrue. We have found several diet pills that cause moderate weight loss, and Suvaril cannot prove that it will really work. This Suvaril review will show that Suvaril diet pills are nothing to write home about.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin A (2500 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin C (40 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin D (200 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E (15 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Thiamin (0.75 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Riboflavin (0.85 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Niacin (10 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (200 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (3 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (150 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (50 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (25 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate</a> (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.</p>
<p>Suvaril Proprietary Blend (472 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Unfortunately, Suvaril fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Suvaril review to determine if there is enough green tea in Suvaril diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>Grape seed</p>
<p>Vanadium does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Again, Suvaril does not say how much banaba it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> reduces stress levels; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Free Sample</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a free 30 day sample. The catch is that when you sign up for the free sample you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you the product and charge your credit card for it). You will be charged $69.90 for a 60 day supply.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Price</h3>
<p>If you choose to buy Suvaril diet pills and don&#8217;t want to enroll in autoship, you will pay $49.95 for a one month supply. This is way too expensive for this product. Suvaril contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and banaba), and it does not say how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Guarantee</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a 60 day refund on unopened bottles only. This is good for Suvaril because you have to buy more than one bottle in order to get a refund (since you cannot return opened bottles).</p>
<h3>Suvaril Conclusion</h3>
<p>Suvaril diet pills might cause weight loss, but it might not. Since Suvaril hides how much of each proven ingredient it contains, there is no way of knowing if Suvaril will actually work. And, since you cannot return an unopened bottle, you will be spending nearly $100 to see if it will work. That seems like too much to gamble on this product. Instead, this Suvaril review recommends using a diet pill containing clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

Surprisingly, this is accurate. However, this Avesil review finds Avesil is far too expensive.</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.

<p>Common symptoms of liver complications include:</p>
<ul>

<li>brown urine</li>
<li>light colored stools</li>
<li>unusual tiredness</li>

<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>Avesil Ingredients</h3>
<p>Calcium (150 mg) is healthy, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> (133 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.</p>
<p>Potassium (210 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (1500 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> (150 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. This Avesil review finds if you take the recommended dosage of Avesil diet pills, you will get enough green tea to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> (50 mg) does cause weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. However, this relatively low amount of caffeine will not do much.</p>
<p>I must give a hand to Avesil on one point.  They&#8217;ve fully disclosed the amounts of each ingredient in the pill which is something that&#8217;s not seen very often in this industry.  If more companies did this, the industry as a whole would be much better off.</p>
<h3>Avesil Price</h3>
<p>Avesil diet pills cost $89.95 for 180 capsules (a one month supply). Although Avesil does contain a few proven ingredients in appropriate amounts, $89.95 is an outrageous price. You can find multiple diet pills that are just as effective (or more effective) at causing weight loss for a much lower price. Look through our recommended products for one.</p>
<h3>Avesil Side Effects</h3>
<p>Side effects of Avesil include headaches and increased heart rate.</p>
<h3>Avesil Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Avesil website says they have a &#8220;no-questions-asked 100% money-back guarantee.&#8221; The website gives no other information on their guarantee other than that you have to have a Return Merchandise Authorization in order to return Avesil. They do not specify how long you have to return the product.</p>
<h3>Avesil Free Trial</h3>
<p>Avesil has a &#8220;risk-free&#8221; 14 day trial. It is typical of free trials offered by multiple diet pills. You have to read the fine print or you will be in for a shock. If you don&#8217;t cancel the free trial within the 14 days window, you will be charged $89.95and enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship you more product every month and charge your credit card).</p>
<h3>Avesil Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Avesil review finds Avesil diet pills do contain a few proven ingredients in proven amounts. It will cause weight loss. However, Avesil is way too expensive. You can get the same (or better) weight loss results for much less with several other diet pills.</p>

Cleansing your system will give you <em>Increased Energy, help you</em> <em>Fight Fatigue</em>, <em>reduce Water Retension</em>, and  help  you get a <strong>Firmer Flatter MidSection</strong>&#8221; (website). This Acai Berry Power 500 review will reveal the truth behind this product (or as much truth as we could possibly find out) to show you that Acai Berry Power 500 diet pills are no different from dozens of other diet pills. </span></p>
<h3>Acai Berry Power 500 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Acai berry is full of antioxidants, similar to a blueberry. However, there is no proof that acai berry actually contributes to weight loss. It is a lot like hoodia&#8211;tons of hype from celebrities and the media, but no scientific research to back it up.</p>
<p>Essential fatty acids are important to overall health but do not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Amino acids do not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E is very healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Iron is also important to health but does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Fiber does help regulate the digestive system, but it is unlikely that fiber alone will cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Acai Berry Power 500 does not list how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Acai Berry Power 500 Marketing and Customer Service</h3>
<p>The Acai Berry Power 500 website is packed with celebrity endorsements. Don&#8217;t be fooled; even celebrities give in to the latest fads (maybe even more than the general public). There is NO scientific evidence to prove Acai Berry Power 500 will do anything for weight loss.</p>
<p>The Acai Berry Power 500 website is extremely vague. You can get very little information unless you put in your personal information to order the product. Even after doing so, the information is limited. There is no mention of a guarantee. We decided to call their Customer Service department. After searching the entire website, we found a phone number to call for sales. However, when we called we were informed that the number was for a second party and that we would have to call a different number for customer service. When we called the number they gave us, it was for a different Acai diet pill (made by a different company).</p>
<p>In short, it is impossible to find out anything about a possible guarantee for Acai Berry Power 500 diet pills. And forget about asking them any questions; they are impossible to get a hold of.</p>
<h3>Acai Berry Power 500 Cost</h3>
<p>The Acai Berry Power 500 website makes you think you are getting a great deal when you sign up for their 14-day trial for only $3.95. What they don&#8217;t tell you (unless you search their entire website for the VERY fine print) is that if you don&#8217;t cancel within the 14 day window, you will be enrolled in autoship (meaning they automatically send you more product every month and charge your credit card). The monthly cost for Acai Berry Power 500 is $89.31. This Acai Berry Power 500 review finds this is WAY too expensive for a diet pill, especially one with no scientific backing. The other thing they fail to mention is that for their 7-day free trial to Fit Factory (which you are automatically signed up for when you order the regular 14-day trial) you will have to pay $29.95 per month if you don&#8217;t cancel within the seven days.</p>
<p>These trials are just another way Acai Berry Power 500 is trying to deceive customers and get their money. How can you trust that a product will actually work when the company is so deceptive?</p>
<h3>Acai Berry Power 500 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Acai Berry Power 500 review finds this product is shady and ineffective. There is NO reason to believe that Acai Berry Power 500 diet pills will actually work. Don&#8217;t waste your money on this product; it will only leave you frustrated. Instead, go with a diet pill that contains ingredients which are scientifically proven.</p>

</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>

This can help you feel your best…naturally. High potency Vitamin B6 helps replenish the normal loss of this water–soluble vitamin when fluids are expelled from the body. It&#8217;s About Balance&#8221; (website). This Water Pill review will determine just how effective the Water Pill really is at causing weight loss.</p>
<h3>Water Pill Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B-6 150 mg<br />
Potassium 100 mg<br />
Calcium 260 mg<br />
Buchu Extract 100 mg<br />
Juniper Extract 100 mg<br />
Parsley Extract 100 mg<br />
Uva Ursi Extract 100 mg</p>
<p>Vitamin B-6, Potassium, and Calcium have all been proven to have healthy benefits. However, they have NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Buchu extract and Juniper extract are proven diuretics in mice. However, no human studies have been done, so there is no way to predict human weight loss that might be caused by these ingredients.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi comes from Bearberry. It is used to treat arthritis, indigestion, and bladder infections, among other ailments. Research has shown drug interactions with diuretics (a possible problem with Buchu and Juniper). Uva Ursi has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>None of the ingredients contained in the Water Pill have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Finding another diet pill would be your best bet if you really want to lose weight. Maybe the Water Pill can help you &#8220;balance your fluids&#8221;, but it will not help you lose weight.</p>
<h3>Water Pill Cost</h3>
<p>The Water Pill costs $9.49 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 2 capsules per day, one bottle will last about a month. This is very inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since the Water Pill contains NO clinically proven ingredients, any amount is too expensive for the Water Pill.</p>
<h3>Water Pill Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Natrol website says nothing about a guarantee for the Water Pill. They do offer a 30 day money back guarantee on some of their other products but not on the Water Pill. It is a little concerning that they offer a guarantee only on some products. Is that because they know you will want to return the Water Pill?</p>
<h3>Water Pill Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Water Pill review finds the Water Pill is just another typical diet pill&#8211;it contains ingredients which have no clinical backing. In fact, the Buchu and Juniper could cause a bad reaction with the Uva Ursi. Don&#8217;t bother with the Water Pill; you will only be disappointed. Instead, try one of our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.</p>
