Lipovox Hardcore Detox Ingredients

Lipovox Hardcore Detox doesn’t just have a long name, it also has a long list of ingredients. They’ve broken them down into a few different sections:

Patented Ingredient Blend (655mg)
Tonalin Cla
Super CitriMax
Pinnothin
Advantra-Z
NeOpuntia
Phase-2
7-Keto DHEA
Forslean
FucoPure

SuperFood Blend (400mg)
Acai
Cayenne
Wheatgrass
Garlic
Lactbacillus Acidophilus
Soybean Extract
LinumLife Flaxseed Lignans
Alfalfa
Buckwheat

Instant Detox Blend (710mg)
Dandelion Root
Uva Ursi
Buchu

Psyllium Husk
Lemon Balm
Couchgrass
Milk Thistle
Parsley
Ginger

Antioxidant Blend (400mg)
Green Tea (50% caffeine)
Caffeine Anhydrous
DMAE
Alpha Lipoic Acid

The short of it is that you’re getting a lot of high quality weight loss ingredients here. They’ve basically taken the SuperFood ingredient profile of the original Lipovox and added a ton of other effective ingredients. Many of them have been proven in clinical studies to aid in weight loss. I would like to see them disclose how much of each individual ingredient is included.

With so many ingredients packed in, it’s no wonder they had to go from 60 capsules to 180!

***Note***

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 Lipovox Hardcore Detox. Lipovox Hardcore Detox 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.

Great Money Back Guarantee

One the things that really impressed me with Lipovox Hardcore Detox is their money back guarantee. In the diet pill industry, a good guarantee is anything from 60 to 90 days. Lipovox HardCore Detox offers a Lifetime guarantee on all unopened bottles AND on one empty bottle. This kind of guarantee is rarely seen in this industry.

Not a Big Fan of the Marketing

The same as the original Lipovox website, Lipovox Hardcore Detox still has the magazine covers posted near the top of the site. This is a common tactic used to add perceived credibility. It implies that the product was either feature in or endorsed by the magazine or celebrity. For example, the SuperFoods were definitely covered in both the Oprah magazine and TV show, but in no way did they endorse the Lipovox Hardcore Detox product.

Price

The Lipovox Hardcore Detox website has the product listed at $49.99 (only $20 more than the original Lipovox). If the product is effective, this is a decent price for a diet pill.

Conclusion

Lipovox Hardcore Detox is definitely a step up from the original Lipovox formula. The inclusion of so many proven ingredients should add quite a bit to its effectiveness. Since the appearance of possible health issues associated with HCA, however, I’m not able to recommend the diet pill. The price is good and the guarantee is stellar. If it weren’t for the HCA, I’d give Lipovox a green light.

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.

Thyro-Slim AM Ingredients

Selenium (100 mcg) does not cause weight loss.

Copper (2 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Chromium (100 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.

Energizing Blend (455 mg)

Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Thyro-Slim AM does not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Thyro-Slim review finds the Guarana in Thyro-Slim will NOT cause weight loss.

Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Thyro-Slim AM includes green tea in a proprietary blend, so there is no way of knowing if it contains enough green tea to be effective.

Garcinia Cambogia (500 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Green orange fruit extract Citrus Aurantium (200 mg) contains synephrine, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration–the higher the better. Thyro Slim AM fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)

Gugglipid supposedly increases thyroid function, but studies have shown varying results.

Bladderwrack kelp

Atlantic kelp

Sargassi seaweed

L-Tyrosine (175 mg) contributes to weight loss, but only when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Thyro-Slim AM diet pills do not contain nearly enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.

White Willow Bark (100 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to cause weight loss.

The only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is garcinia cambogia. Thus, this Thyro-Slim AM/PM review finds Thyro-Slim AM diet pills are not worth taking.

Thyro-Slim PM Ingredients

Vitamin B6 (10 mg)

Chromium (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.

Soothing Herbal Blend (100 mg)

Wild Jujube Seed

Chamomile Flower

Passion Flower

Cleansing Blend (250 mg)

Senna Leaf

Rhubarb root

Cascara Sagrada Bark

Cassia

St. John’s Bread

Apple fruit

Tamarind fruit

Date fruit

Fig fruit

Water Balance Blend (250 mg)

Uva Ursi has actually been shown to have dangerous interactions with diuretics like Buchu and Juniper (which are both contained in Thyro-Slim PM diet pills.

Dandelion Root

Cranberry fruit

Buchu leaf

Cornsilk

Couchgrass herb

Hydrangea

Juniper

Artichoke

Restoration & Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)

Licorice root

Astragalus

Ginger

Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)

Guggulipid

Atlantic kelp

Bladderwrack kelp

Sergassi Seaweed

Thyro-Slim PM diet pills contain NO proven ingredients. They are not worth your time or money.

Thyro-Slim AM/PM Cost

A 21-day supply of Thyro-Slim AM/PM costs $24.99.This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering there is only ONE proven ingredient in Thyro-Slim, any amount is too much to pay.

Thyro-Slim AM/PM Marketing

Thyro-Slim is manufactured by Maximum Human Performance (MHP). The MHP website is full of photos of bulging biceps and unbelievable testimonials. Don’t be fooled by their marketing. Thyro-Slim will do nothing for weight loss. Don’t waste your money on it.

Thyro-Slim AM/PM Conclusion

This Thyro-Slim AM/PM review finds Thyro-Slim is nothing special. Between the two formulas there is only ONE proven ingredient contained in a proven amount. Thyro-Slim will not give you the results you are looking for. Find a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts; our recommended products are a great place to start.
