This Liporexall review will dig a little deeper to see if Liporexall is as impressive as it’s first impression leads us to believe.

Liporexall Ingredients

ChromeMate – ChromeMate, a patented form of chromium, is designed to regulate levels of sugar in the blood. Many believe this leads to weight loss.

Super Citrimax – Super Citrimax is a proven weight loss ingredient due to it’s inclusion of HCA. HCA has been shown to inhibit fat production and suppress appetite.

*Note: 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’s report.

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, “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.” you can never be too cautious.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Pinnothin – Pinnothin is meant to cause appetite suppression.

NeOpuntia – A complex of fibers that binds with fat in order to make them unabsorbable, NeOpuntia a good diet pill ingredient with quite a bit of research backing it up.

Phase-2 – A starch neutralizer, Phase-2 is designed to block the starch. Phase-2 is a great addition to other quality ingredients.

7-KETO – While more research is certainly desirable, 7-KETO has shown to be an effective weight loss ingredient. It helps to break down DHEA, which aids in weight loss.

ForsLean – Research shows that forskohlin, the main ingredient in ForsLean, helps to promote lean muscle mass.

Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate – Infinergy contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase metabolic function, leading to weight loss. Caffeine is one of the few diet pill ingredients that is actually fully backed by loads of research.

Tonalin – Another quality ingredient, Tonalin is a patented form of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). CLA a lot of research backing up it’s claims to help retain muscle while lowering body fat.

Bioperine – Bioperine is a patented ingredient designed to help in the absorption of nutrients. While it won’t cause weight loss by itself, it’s a welcomed addition to other effective ingredients.

All in all the ingredients in Liporexall looks to be quite effective. The inclusion of Super Citrimax (which contains HCA), however, causes me to not recommend the product in light of the recent news with Hydroxycut.

Liporexall’s Marketing

I like that the Liporexall website contains a good deal of information about each ingredient in the product and has a very clear focus on the ingredients throughout the site. Too many diet pills barely mention the ingredients and do little more than spit a sales pitch at you. Knowing the ingredients, you can do your own research to see if it will be effective.

I’m not quite so sure about the lofty claims Liporexall (900% increase in weight loss, build 700% more lean muscle, etc.), but I’ll let you be the judge.

A Lifetime Guarantee

While there was little information about the requirements/process of the money back guarantee, they do have a lifetime guarantee. This is an amazing guarantee in this industry (anything over 60 days is pretty good).

How Much does Liporexall Cost?

One bottle of Liporexall will cost $49.99 and should last you 30 days. They do offer discounts for larger orders.

Liporexall Conclusion

Liporexall contains some solid ingredients. While I wish we knew how much of each was included, the ingredient profile is likely to be very effective. The prices is average, and the guarantee is great. If it didn’t have HCA thrown in the mix, I would recommend Liporexall.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

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’s report

Common symptoms of liver complications include:

• jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
• brown urine
• light colored stools
• unusual tiredness
• stomach pain
• itching
• loss of appetite
• weakness
• vomiting

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, “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.” you can never be too cautious.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Slim 10 Ingredients

Slim 10 contains a proprietary blend of the following ingredients:

Advantra Z® is made of Synephrine. In clinical studies, Synephrine has been proven to contribute to weight loss.
Super Citrimax® contains HCA from the South Asian fruit Garnicia cambogia. It is a proven appetite suppressant and inhibits fat production.
Tonalin® is made of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It is proven to preserve lean muscle and reduce body fat.
Phase 2® is made from white kidney beans. Clinical studies have shown Phase 2 blocks calories from starch, leading to weight loss.
7-Keto® is a metabolite of DHEA. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
NeOpuntia® is from the Opuntia ficus indica cactus. The fibers bind with the fat so it is not absorbed.
ForsLean® is made of Forskohlin, which promotes lean body mass, which helps you lose weight.
Slimaluma® is made of Caralluma Fimbriata Extract, an ancient Indian cactus which allegedly works as an appetite suppressant. More research is needed on Caralluma Fimbriata.
ChromeMate® is simply Chromium. Chromium deficiencies are extremely rare. Studies have found conflicting results about Chromium’s efficiency in promoting weight loss.
CarniPure® contains Carnitine. Carnitine is supposed to help breakdown fats. More research is needed on Carnitine.

Slim 10 also contains 500 mg of Real South African Hoodia.

While many of the ingredients in Slim 10 have been proven to successfully promote weight loss,
since they are included in a “proprietary blend”, there is no way to know how much of each ingredient
is actually included. Thus, it is impossible for this Slim 10 review to determine how effective
Slim 10 diet pills actually are. Companies usually use proprietary blends to disguise how little of
each ingredient they have included in their formula.

Slim 10 Could Cause Liver Failure

Several reputable sources (including Time Magazine and the BBC) are reporting that several women have experienced liver failure from taking Slim 10.
This is very concerning to us.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/2036480.stm

Slim 10 Cost

Slim 10 costs $75 for one month supply. This is very expensive considering there is no way to prove if this product works. We do like that Slim 10 gives an autoship option. We generally do not like autoship, but at least there is an option not to use autoship. However, their shipping rate is $20 per order, which is very high for a diet pill.

Slim 10 Guarantee

Slim 10 offers a “100% refund” for returns made within 90 days of purchase. You will have to pay shipping charges to return the product as well as a $7.95 restocking fee.

Slim 10 Marketing

Slim 10 does a good job promoting each individual ingredient in their product. They list legitimate clinical studies done on the ingredients. However, they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included in Slim 10, so it is impossible to know whether the ingredients will be effective.

Slim 10 Conclusion

This Slim 10 review finds that Slim 10 diet pills include some great ingredients. Unfortunately, they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to know how effective Slim 10 will be. We are very concerned about the possibility of liver failure from using Slim 10. We encourage you to look for a product that contains proven ingredients such as those in Slim 10, but be sure they are included in effective amounts.

***PatenTrim Review Update***

Because of the recent concern and newly found evidence that the ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) may be linked to certain health concerns dealing with the liver, we are no longer recommending PatenTrim as a diet pill. PatenTrim contains Super CitriMax, whose active component is HCA. The FDA, in a recent warning about Hydroxycut-branded products, said: “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products.”

While FDA hasn’t specifically identified HCA as the culprit, some believe that it may responsible for the health problems. One can never be too cautious. As such, all products containing HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

For more information on the FDA’s warning against Hydroxycut and possible dangers to the liver due to HCA, see the Hydroxycut Review.

PatenTrim’s Ingredients

ChromeMate (200 mcg) – Chromium Picolinate, as it stands on its own has conflicting research as to its efficacy in regulating blood sugar levels.  However, ChromeMate has been clinically shown to be absorbed 18 times more than the standard chromium picolinate.  The result: weight loss through blood sugar regulation.  ChromeMate is expensive because it is a patented ingredient.  As such, you’ll find competitor diet pills including (if any) perhaps 20-50 mcg.  PatenTrim impresses us with their inclusion of the clinically correct amount: 200 mcg.

Super CitriMax (1,400 mg) – Super CitriMax’s active component is Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. Super CitriMax is actually a standardized level of HCA (which comes from the South Asian fruit Gardinia Cambogia). The nice thing about Super Citrimax is that it has a stimulating effect a la caffeine or green tea, without causing jitters. A few studies supporting Super Citrimax’s efficacy:

• Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2007;16(1):25-9. Especially effective when combined with Gymnema sylvestre — you’ll see why that’s important in a moment.
  
• Diabetes Obes Metab. 2004 May;6(3):171-80. The study was published again here, adding more legitimacy to the study.

Green Tea Decaffeinated 50% EGCG (1,000 mg) – Green tea is probably our favorite diet pill ingredient. It effectively ingreases the metabolism’s burn rate (which means you’ll be burning more calories and losing weight), has a whole slew of other healthy benefits, and is backed by more research than any other diet pill ingredient available today.

Also, please notice that PatenTrim’s green tea is decaffeinated. PatenTrim is specifically geared toward people that don’t do too great with higher doses of caffeine.

Probably most notable, PatenTrim includes 1,000 mg of green tea at 50% EGCG (think of EGCG as its potency). To give you a comparison, most other diet pills we’ve reviewed have anywhere from 50 mg to 150 mg. The minimum dosage required (based on piles of research) for effectiveness is north of 300 mg. PatenTrim has effectively tripled that. I could go on, but the points probably been made.

ForsLean – 10% Forskohlin (250 mg) – ForsLean is a patented (see the patent here) ingredient that’s been clinically proven to aid in fat lipolysis (burning fat) and retaining muscle mass. While you may not initially think this is such a big deal, it is a big deal! When you’re dieting and calories are being burned left and right, it’s important that you don’t lose muscle mass. Not only for health reasons, but also because you’ll look better as a result.

Also, muscle mass requires more calories to maintain. So a more muscular individual will, all else equal, have a higher caloric burn rate, resulting in lower bodyfat.

Some literature supporting Forskohlin as it relates to burning fat cells:

• Horm. metabol. Res. 19 (1987), pp. 358-360
• J. Pharmacology and Experim. Therapeutics 238 (1986), pp. 659-664
• J. Pharmacology and Experim. Therapeutics 244 (1988), pp. 852-858.

Gymnema Sylvestre – 25% gymnemic acids (200 mg) – Gymnema is used to help control blood sugar levels. Anciently, people in India would chew a few leaves of Gymnema and it would suppress the taste of sugar (which some use to fight sugar cravings).

Studies conducted in India as early as 1930 showed that the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre cause hypoglycemia in experimental animals. This state of hypoglycemia is explained on the assumption that the drug indirectly stimulates insulin secretion of the pancreas, since it has no direct effect on carbohydrate metabolism. ((Source: http://www.gymnema.com/))

We regret we don’t have citations for those studies done in the 1930s. However, one study from 2005 validated the insulin secretion caused by Gymnema sylvestre: H Asare-Anane, GC Huang, SA Amiel, PM Jones & SJ Persaud (2005) Poster Presentations – Stimulation of insulin secretion by an aqueous extract of Gymnema sylvestre: role of intracellular calcium. Endocrine Abstracts, Volume 10 DP1.

BioPerine (5 mg) – Don’t balk at the seemingly low amount of BioPerine in PatenTrim. More isn’t needed. I’ll include a section of our own review regarding BioPerine. The gist of it is that it aids in absorbing nutrients — a critical component that most diet pills don’t look at.

Asian cultures anciently have used long and black pepper for medicinal/health purposes, but obviously actual research is much more welcome. To that end, this was of particular interest from the Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition, Central Food Technological Research Institute, Mysore, India ((Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 2007;47(8):735-48.)):

Many physiological effects of black pepper, its extracts, or its major active principle, piperine, have been reported in recent decades. Dietary piperine, by favorably stimulating the digestive enzymes of pancreas, enhances the digestive capacity and significantly reduces the gastrointestinal food transit time. Piperine has been demonstrated in in vitro studies to protect against oxidative damage by inhibiting or quenching free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Black pepper or piperine treatment has also been evidenced to lower lipid peroxidation in vivo and beneficially influence cellular thiol status, antioxidant molecules and antioxidant enzymes in a number of experimental situations of oxidative stress. The most far-reaching attribute of piperine has been its inhibitory influence on enzymatic drug biotransforming reactions in the liver. It strongly inhibits hepatic and intestinal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and UDP-glucuronyl transferase. Piperine has been documented to enhance the bioavailability of a number of therapeutic drugs as well as phytochemicals by this very property. Piperine’s bioavailability enhancing property is also partly attributed to increased absorption as a result of its effect on the ultrastructure of intestinal brush border.

PatenTrim’s Proprietary Blend?

PatenTrim doesn’t hide behind the guise of a “proprietary blend”.  They disclose every ingredient at every amount.  We find this very, very refreshing.  Fenphedra and Thermodrenix are the others that disclose.  We recommend them as appropriate.

PatenTrim’s Marketing

We like the fact that their site isn’t full of hype.  It doesn’t try and get you emotionally charged to make an irrational decision on some sub-par diet pill product.  They’re making an effort to educate their visitors on the ingredients instead of filling their heads full of (probably fake) testimonials and (doctored) before & after photos.

No AutoShip Program

They don’t have one, and we like that.

PatenTrim Pricing

We noticed that PatenTrim recently lowered their priced from $69 per bottle to $59 per bottle.  Obviously the lower price point makes this great diet pill an even better value. We also don’t if this is a temporary or permanent price change. You will find other diet pills at a cheaper price but I suggest you pay a little extra and get ingredients that actually work. You do get discounts as you buy more bottles at a time.

A word should be said here about pricing for diet pills. You’ll find some costing as little as $25. The key though isn’t what it costs nearly as much as what you’re getting. With most every diet pill, you’re not getting enough ingredients to make even one iota of difference.

Now – be careful and don’t be duped by some pill that’s purposely SUPER expensive (Zantrex-3, those devious people from Basic Research, comes immediately to mind), where their whole focus is to make you think, because of the price point, that you really are getting something that’s top quality when you’re not.

In either case, look at the ingredients and then decide if the price fits your situation.

Lifetime Moneyback Guarantee

You can’t beat it. We like to see anything more than 60 days, so a lifetime guarantee obviously fits the bill, and then some.  You are able to return one used bottle plus all unopened bottles.  This is the best in the industry.

PatenTrim Review Conclusion

We’re recommending PatenTrim completely. We love the formulation. We love the fact that every ingredient is clincially backed and they haven’t included a single fad ingredient (such as Hoodia, that piece of garbage). We love the fact that they’ve fully disclosed how much of each ingredient — they haven’t hidden behind a proprietary blend. We’re fans of their marketing and lifetime moneyback guarantee. We’re giving a very enthusiastic thumbs up.

***Update: Please see the PatenTrim Review Update at the top of the page for recent information about PatenTrim.

Try PatenTrim out, see if you like it as much as I do and then let me know your results.

Clinitrim-5 is a solid contender in the diet pill industry. There are a few things that stand out to me as reasons to like Clinitrim-5 and I’ll elaborate on each of them in depth throughout this Clinitrim review.

• Their ingredient profile, with ingredients backed by clinical studies.
• Clinitrim’s marketing approach – no sex, only science ((This is a rarity in the diet pill industry, so I find it refreshing. I should add the caveat that some diet pill companies try to really make science their sales pitch and their whole approach is to make it so sciency that the reader just assumes what they’re saying is actually making sense and valid — an old trick, but still used quite often.))
• Their pricing and moneyback guarantee

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

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’s report

Common symptoms of liver complications include:

• jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
• brown urine
• light colored stools
• unusual tiredness
• stomach pain
• itching
• loss of appetite
• weakness
• vomiting

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, “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.” you can never be too cautious.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Clinitrim 5 Ingredient Profile

Each of Clinitrim 5’s diet pill ingredients have been reviewed on Criticalorie.com so you can head over to those reviews for more information if the quick summary isn’t enough for you:

• Guarana, Yerba Mate, and Damiana – studies show that over a period of 45 days the subjects lost an average of 5kg. The GYD combination has been thoroughly tested by many clinical studies (including one study of the studies for further verification).
• Glucomannan – a dietary fiber that absorbs water and gives you feelings of satiety. Dosage needs to be pretty high to be in line with clinical studies, though a lesser dosage may still prove to be effective (studies don’t yet show).
• 5-HTP (hydroxytrytophan) – a mood elevating amino acid that is a precursor to serotonin (which affects mood and appetite, among other things). Clinical studies are numerous and supportive to this end.
• 7-Keto DHEA – a naturally-occurring metabolite with clinical studies supporting its effects on body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BFP).
• CitriMax, Gymnema Sylvestre, and ChromeMate – a study supported the use of these three ingredients in concert as providing more weight loss when compared to those using only CitriMax alone. ((Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2007;16(1):25-9.))

With an ingredient profile like this, Clinitrim-5 quickly becomes one of my favorites. Why, you may ask, don’t other diet pill companies use ingredients backed by clinical studies very often? Because the creators of these ingredients have invested serious amounts of money in research and development, they charge premiums for their ingredients. Diet pill manufacturers, for the most part, don’t like paying a premium for their ingredients because it cuts into their margins.

Clinitrim-5 apparently decided to accept lower margins for a more effective product. Kudos to them for that.

Clinitrim 5’s Marketing Approach

Clinitrim’s sales pitch is a breath of fresh air. Instead of using sex (which we noticed is a favorite of Fentraphen, one of our recommended pills in the stimulant category), they use science.

Also it’s interesting to note that Clinitrim approaches your supplementation with your results in mind instead of their bottom line. The fact that they have you cycling means two things:

1. Your body will respond more favorably (cycling has proven to be much more effective as your body becomes less accustomed to the supplementation).
2. You won’t have to buy as much Clinitrim-5. Why? Because you’ll obviously be using it less. Most diet pill companies push the highest dosage possible so you’ll use as much as possible and they’ll be able to make as much as possible.

Clinitrim’s Pricing and Moneyback Guarantee

As of this writing, Clinitrim’s pricing is $59.95 per bottle. While anything looks like a bargain compared to rip-offs (Zantrex-3, Leptopril, Leptoprin), Clinitrim still appears to be favorably priced when I compare its ingredient profile to other diet pills priced in the same range. Considering the fact that bulk discounts garner an even lower per-bottle rate, the pricing starts to look very fair.

Normally when companies boast a lineup of ingredients backed by clinical studies they also use that as a time to maintain those same high margins we talked about just a second ago. They’ll suddenly be charging $129 per bottle or something crazy like that. I’m glad Clinitrim isn’t making the almighty dollar the single principle by which they operate.

With the average moneyback guarantee being none to 30 days, it’s nice to see Clinitrim’s moneyback guarantee set at 90 days. While it’s no lifetime gurantee, such as with Anoretix, it’s still very much above average.

Clinitrim Overall Conclusion

Clinitrim’s ingredient profile is great, one of the best in class, and edging out Anoretix as the patented option of choice in that category. The marketing approach is clean and no-nonsense and their pricing is fair. Their 90-day moneyback guarantee is more than enough time to ensure that Clinitrim works for you.

Anoretix is one of the few diet pills I’m comfortable recommending. Most of the time when I take a hard look at diet pills I see a lot of the same thing: a bit of caffeine, a bit of hype and…well, that’s just about it. With Anoretix, I was pleasantly surprised to see some quality ingredients in there.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

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.

Anoretix Ingredients

Each of Anoretix‘ ingredients are patented and backed up by research (a rarity in the diet pill industry). I’ve done my best to find that research and highlight in each ingredient’s individual review. While one ingredient, standing on its own, may not produce stunning weight loss (there isn’t a diet pill out there that will), when used in concert, these ingredients pack some good weight loss punch — some of the best I’ve seen. You can click on each of these Anoretix ingredients and find a detailed review about each one.

• Super CitriMax
• Tonalin
• Advantra Z
• NeOpuntia
• Phase 2
• ForsLean
• 7 KETO
• ChromeMate (see also my Chromium review)
• BioPerine

Anoretix Superior Customer Service

As a little test, which I’ll do on occasion, I emailed sales@anoretix.com with a fake inquiry to gauge responsiveness (this was done at 10:30 am, MST):

Hi, my name’s Cal and I placed an order for Anoretix about three weeks ago…still haven’t received it. What’s the deal?

I received a response at 1:18 pm, MST same day asking me if I could supply my full name or an order number so they could investigate further. So, they passed the customer service litmus test.

Anoretix Guarantee

I raved a few days ago about Fentraphen’s 90-day moneyback guarantee and then just about fell out of my chair when I saw the Anoretix guarantee. They’ll guarantee their product for life. This does not mean you can use it all and then send them back empty bottles and want a refund. They won’t refund bottles that are opened (no diet pill company that I’ve found will). What this does mean is that if you order three bottles try one and don’t like it, you can send back the other two a year later and still get a refund. I like this guarantee! Hopefully their competitors will see this and follow suit to give consumers a bit of a break.

Anoretix Pricing

Anoretix is priced to sell. It’s not dirt cheap, but it’s also not overly expensive. Whenever a pill contains patented ingredients, there’s an associated cost for manufacturing that pill. It would follow that diet pills containing these expensive ingredients would cost a bit more. Frankly, I’m surprised they don’t list it 25% higher. I know some other products sell for a lot more when they offer a lot less (Leptoprin, Leptopril and Zantrex-3 come to mind).

Overall Conclusion for Anoretix

I’m thoroughly impressed. With a stacked lineup like they have, it’s hard not to be. Anoretix looks to be a great aid as you consider your weight loss plan.
