This Nuphedra review will detail the ingredients in Nuphedra and help you determine if Nuphedra is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Ingredients</h3>
<p>Serving size 2 capsules<br />
<strong>Vitamin C</strong> 30 mg<br />
<strong>Vitamin E</strong> 15 mg<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium Polynicotinate</a></strong> (300 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.<br />
<strong>Vitamin B12</strong> 100 mcg<br />
<strong>Niacin</strong> 20 mg<br />
<strong>Vitamin B6</strong> 25 mg<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a></strong> (250 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Therefore, if you take the recommended 4-6 capsules per day, you will be getting plenty of green tea to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Oolong tea</strong> (150 mg) does contain caffeine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/">Phenylethylamine</a></strong> (50 mg) is a feel good ingredient; it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/">Cayenne</a></strong> 100 mg<br />
<strong>Razberri-K</strong> (75 mg) is also known as <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">raspberry ketones</a>. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice, but more human research is needed.<br />
<strong>Thermodiamine</strong> (Evodiamine) (10 mg) has been proven to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.<br />
<strong>Lipolide-SC</strong> (10 mg) increases fat burning capabilities.<br />
<strong>Yohimbine</strong> (2 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Green Coffee Bean</strong> Extract (50 mg) has been shown to inhibit weight gain, but only in mice. Again, more human research is needed.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a></strong> 100 mg<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine</a></strong> (20 mg) is a great diet pill ingredient. However, the important thing to note is the concentration of synephrine contained&#8211;the higher the better. Unfortunately, Nuphedra fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this Nuphedra review to determine if the concentration of synephrine of contained is enough to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">Bioperine</a></strong> (5 mg) helps the body absorb more nutrients. There is no evidence that it directly contributes to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/">Vinpocetine</a></strong> (2.5 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Dandelion</strong> 300 mg<br />
<strong>Uva Ursi </strong>(150 mg) is used to treat bladder infections and arthritis; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Cost</h3>
<p>Nuphedra diet pills cost $61.95 for a 30 day supply. This Nuphedra review finds Nuphedra is on the expensive side compared to other diet pills. Nuphedra does contain some great diet pill ingredients, but you can find a diet pill that is just as effective while costing you a lot less.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Guarantee</h3>
<p>Is there a guarantee on Nuphedra diet pills? Well, the Nuphedra website is currently not working and you can&#8217;t order directly from the manufacturer at this point. Some retailers offer their own guarantee on products they sell. Be sure to check with the individual retailer to know if there is a guarantee.</p>
<h3>Nuphedra Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Nuphedra review finds Nuphedra contains some excellent diet pill ingredients in the necessary amounts. The only downfall to Nuphedra is the price.  Nephedra should be effective in helping with weight loss.  Can you find cheaper alternatives? Probably.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thyroslim-ampm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-828" title="thyroslim-ampm" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thyroslim-ampm.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="151" /></a>Thyro-Slim supposedly, &#8220;Burns fat, boosts metabolism, controls appetite, eliminates excess water, boosts energy, supports thyroid function, regulates blood sugar levels and adrenal function, improves sleep and detoxifies your system&#8221; (website). This Thyro-Slim AM/PM review shows that there is no truth behind the claims made about Thyro-Slim. It simply will not cause weight loss.</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>Thyro-Slim AM Ingredients</h3>
<p>Selenium (100 mcg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Copper (2 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Energizing Blend (455 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> 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.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (500 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Green orange fruit extract Citrus Aurantium (200 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. Thyro Slim AM fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)</p>
<p>Gugglipid supposedly increases thyroid function, but studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p>Bladderwrack kelp</p>
<p>Atlantic kelp</p>
<p>Sargassi seaweed</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> (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.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark (100 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim PM Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B6 (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Soothing Herbal Blend (100 mg)</p>
<p>Wild Jujube Seed</p>
<p>Chamomile Flower</p>
<p>Passion Flower</p>
<p>Cleansing Blend (250 mg)</p>
<p>Senna Leaf</p>
<p>Rhubarb root</p>
<p>Cascara Sagrada Bark</p>
<p>Cassia</p>
<p>St. John&#8217;s Bread</p>
<p>Apple fruit</p>
<p>Tamarind fruit</p>
<p>Date fruit</p>
<p>Fig fruit</p>
<p>Water Balance Blend (250 mg)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Dandelion Root</p>
<p>Cranberry fruit</p>
<p>Buchu leaf</p>
<p>Cornsilk</p>
<p>Couchgrass herb</p>
<p>Hydrangea</p>
<p>Juniper</p>
<p>Artichoke</p>
<p>Restoration &amp; Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)</p>
<p>Licorice root</p>
<p>Astragalus</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger</a></p>
<p>Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)</p>
<p>Guggulipid</p>
<p>Atlantic kelp</p>
<p>Bladderwrack kelp</p>
<p>Sergassi Seaweed</p>
<p>Thyro-Slim PM diet pills contain NO proven ingredients. They are not worth your time or money.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Cost</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Marketing</h3>
<p>Thyro-Slim is manufactured by Maximum Human Performance (MHP). The MHP website is full of photos of bulging biceps and unbelievable testimonials. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their marketing. Thyro-Slim will do nothing for weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your money on it.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Conclusion</h3>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Green orange fruit extract Citrus Aurantium (200 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. Thyro Slim AM fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>

<p>Artichoke</p>
<p>Restoration &amp; Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)</p>
<p>Licorice root</p>
<p>Astragalus</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger</a></p>
<p>Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)</p>
<p>Guggulipid</p>
<p>Atlantic kelp</p>
<p>Bladderwrack kelp</p>
<p>Sergassi Seaweed</p>
<p>Thyro-Slim PM diet pills contain NO proven ingredients. They are not worth your time or money.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Cost</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Marketing</h3>
<p>Thyro-Slim is manufactured by Maximum Human Performance (MHP). The MHP website is full of photos of bulging biceps and unbelievable testimonials. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their marketing. Thyro-Slim will do nothing for weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your money on it.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Conclusion</h3>
<p>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.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hydro-burn.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-722" title="hydro-burn" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/hydro-burn.jpg" alt="" width="101" height="150" /></a>Hydro Burn is a diet pill that is supposed to help you rid your body of excess water weight. It is a diuretic diet pill (it will basically keep you on the toilet).  This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is a subpar diet pill that does not give real weight loss results.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Hydroxynol (50% hydroxycitrate) 2050mg<br />
</span></span><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Bitter Orange Extract (334 mg) contains </span></span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Hydro Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Extract (22% caffeine) (910mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Hydro Burn does not contain Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Hydro Burn review finds the Guarana in Hydro Burn diet pills will not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Salicin Complex 100mg</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> (100mg) is supposed to help break down fats; however, research has not proven this.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">(300mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss, but other studies have shown the opposite.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Extract (50mg) is often used to remedy digestive problems. More research needs to be done to determine the effects of cayenne on weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Urva Ursi (50mg) is used to treat various maladies including bladder infection. Research shows Uva Ursi can have unsafe interactions with diuretics (like dandelion). It does not contribute to weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Dandelion (50mg) is a diuretic. It does not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Hydro Burn Cost</h3>
<p>Hydro Burn diet pills cost $24.23 for 160 capsules. If you take the maximum dosage of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last 13 days. This is quite expensive, especially considering Hydro Burn does not contain proven ingredients in proven amounts. Don&#8217;t bother with Hydro Burn; look for a diet pill with proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Guarantee</h3>
<p>Universal Nutrition (maker of Hydro Burn diet pills) does not have a guarantee for Hydro Burn. Some websites that sell Hydro Burn have their own guarantee and return policies. If you do decide to try Hydro Burn, be sure you know the return policy of the company you purchase from; you will probably need it.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is another run-of-the mill diet pill. It does not include proven ingredients in proven amounts; look for a diet pill that does. Stay away from Hydro Burn. It won&#8217;t give you the results you are looking for. Hydro Burn will probably keep you on the toilet, but it won&#8217;t give you lasting weight loss results.</p>

What we see is a product that contains only two proven ingredients and does not disclose how much of any ingredient is included. This AmbiSlim PM review will give the highlights (and lowlights) of AmbiSlim PM to help you see that this product is not the one 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>
<h3>AmbiSlim PM Ingredients</h3>
<p>AmbiSlim PM contains a proprietary blend of the following ingredients:</p>
<p>Decaffeinated Green Tea&#8211;<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss due to the caffeine it contains. Thus, This AmbiSlim PM review finds the Decaffeinated Green Tea in AmbiSlim PM diet pills will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Slimaluma is made of Caralluma Fimbriata Extract. There has not been sufficient research done on Caralluma Fimbriata Extract.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Polynicotinate</a> has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have found it contributes to weight loss while other studies have found it does not.</p>
<p>Magnolia Bark</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterone </a>is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, more research is needed to prove this.</p>
<p>Dandelion Root</p>
<p>Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, AmbiSlim PM includes Coleus Forskohlii in a proprietary blend, so there is no way of knowing if there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> contains HCA, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, AmbiSlim PM does not list how much garcinia cambogia it contains.</p>
<p>Cinnamon Extract is supposed to help control blood sugar, but research has not proven this.</p>
<p>Valerian Root promotes restful sleep.</p>
<p>Hops flower</p>
<p>Jujube Extract</p>
<p>Passion Flower promotes restful sleep.</p>
<p>Phenibut</p>
<p>Chamomile Extract</p>
<p>Ashwagandha</p>
<p>Melatonin promotes restful sleep.</p>
<h3>AmbiSlim PM Cost</h3>
<p>A one month supply of AmbiSlim PM diet pills costs $19.99. The AmbiSlim PM website claims this saves you $40 per bottle. This is a common tactic among diet pill companies; they want you to think you are getting a great deal so you will buy their product. Don&#8217;t be tricked into buying AmbiSlim PM. AmbiSlim PM contains only a couple proven ingredients, and the amounts of these ingredients are not disclosed. Thus, any amount of money for AmbiSlim PM is too much.</p>
<h3>AmbiSlim PM Guarantee</h3>
<p>AmbiSlim PM offers a 30 day money back guarantee. We would really prefer to see a 90 day guarantee, and be assured you will use the AmbiSlim PM guarantee if you buy it.</p>
<h3>AmbiSlim PM Conclusion</h3>
<p>This AmbiSlim PM review finds AmbiSlim PM is nothing to write home about. It is a typical diet pill&#8211;it contains a couple proven ingredients but fails to mention how much of those ingredients are included. Don&#8217;t get stuck with a diet pill you regret; look for a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Look through our recommended products for some good options.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-673" title="taraxatone-extreme1" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/taraxatone-extreme1.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="150" /><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme is</span> &#8220;the #1 choice of athletes and fitness-conscious people for the simplest of reasons: It works! When you absolutely must have a hard, lean look, and time is of the essence, Taraxatone is the best weapon you can have against water-weight bloat&#8221; (website). This Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review will explain what Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme really is and will reveal the tainted past of its manufacturer, Cytodyne.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B6 (50 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (25 mg ) is necessary to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Dandelion (250 mg) is included in many diet pills. However, there is no evidence to show that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi (500 mg) is used to treat various maladies from bladder infections to headaches; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Hydroxanthine Complex 235 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective it has to be used in doses of 300 mg per day. Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme does not list how much green tea it contains, so it is impossible for this Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is dried caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Once again, Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme diet pills do not reveal how much caffeine they contain so there is no way of knowing if the caffeine will be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>Horsetail extract 250 mg</p>
<p>TX-HP 150 mg</p>
<p>Celery Seed Powder</p>
<p>Taurine is supposed to boost energy. However, studies have proven this false.</p>
<p>Parsley Powder</p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Cost</h3>
<p>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme diet pills cost $16.89 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is quite expensive especially considering Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and caffeine anhydrous) and hides how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Marketing</h3>
<p>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme claims to be a diuretic. As such, it will ONLY CAUSE A REDUCTION IN WATER, NOT IN ACTUAL WEIGHT. This is not a typical diet pill. It will only make your muscles look more defined (assuming it really works like they claim it does). Unless you are a body builder (or a teenager like they are marketing to) don&#8217;t bother with this product. You won&#8217;t see any weight loss results.</p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review finds this product is questionable to say the least. It is manufactured by a company with a shady past. Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme markets to teenagers. If you really want to lose weight, use a diet pill with proven ingredients included in proven amounts.</p>

When you absolutely must have a hard, lean look, and time is of the essence, Taraxatone is the best weapon you can have against water-weight bloat&#8221; (website). This Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review will explain what Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme really is and will reveal the tainted past of its manufacturer, Cytodyne.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B6 (50 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (25 mg ) is necessary to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Dandelion (250 mg) is included in many diet pills. However, there is no evidence to show that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi (500 mg) is used to treat various maladies from bladder infections to headaches; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Hydroxanthine Complex 235 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective it has to be used in doses of 300 mg per day. Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme does not list how much green tea it contains, so it is impossible for this Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is dried caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Once again, Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme diet pills do not reveal how much caffeine they contain so there is no way of knowing if the caffeine will be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>Horsetail extract 250 mg</p>
<p>TX-HP 150 mg</p>
<p>Celery Seed Powder</p>
<p>Taurine is supposed to boost energy. However, studies have proven this false.</p>
<p>Parsley Powder</p>

<h3>7-DFBX Ingredients</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left"><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anyhdrous </a>is just regular caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<span class="style24">Potassium Gluconate has healthy benefits but has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Polynicotinate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss by some studies, but not by others.<br />
<span class="style24">Psyllium Husk </span><br />
<span class="style42">Oat Bran Fiber </span><br />
<span class="style24">Barley Rice Fiber </span><br />
<span class="style42">Apple Pectin </span><br />
<span class="style24">Fennel Seed</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/" >Glucomannan</a><span class="style42"> (267 mg) </span>is a dietary fiber which is supposed to make users feel full. Studies have shown glucomannan to be effective when used at a dose of 2-4 g per day. Thus, this 7-DFBX review finds there is not enough glucomannan in 7-DFBX diet pills to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/" ><span class='style24'>Flax seed powder </span></a><br />
<span class="style42">Dandelion Root </span><br />
<span class="style24">Uva Ursi</span> is used to treat headaches and bladder infections. There is evidence that a drug interaction is possible when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu, Juniper, parsley, and mint leaf).<br />
<span class="style42">Cranberry </span><br />
<span class="style24">Buchu Leaves 4:1is a diuretic.</span><br />
<span class="style42">Alfalfa </span><br />
<span class="style24">Juniper Berries is a diuretic.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a><span class="style24"> 100:1 </span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root</a><br />
<span class="style24">Parsley is a diuretic.</span><br />
Goldenseal<br />
<span class="style24">Mint leaf is a diuretic.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >Red Raspberry</a> Leaf<br />
<span class="style24">Lemon Peel </span><br />
Hawthorn Berries<br />
<span class="style24">Red Clover Leaf </span><br />
Burdock Root<br />
<span class="style24">Irish Moss</span><br />
Aloe Vera<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" ><span class='style24'>Cayenne Pepper </span></a><br />
Sage<br />
<span class="style24">Noni </span><br />
Mangosteen<br />
<span class="style24">Pomegranate </span><br />
Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
<span class="style24">Grapefruit Seed </span></p>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX is a diuretic (it rids your body of water). So, you might see a little weight loss from using 7-DFBX diet pills, but you will probably be on the toilet a lot. Don&#8217;t count on keeping the weight off either.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Cost</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX costs $19.99 per bottle (for a one week supply). This is very expensive, considering there is no evidence to show that 7-DFBX actually works.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Guarantee</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left"><span class="style44">The 7-DFBX website says, &#8220;If you are not satisfied with our product, please return the empty bottle to receive full refund less S&amp;H. If you purchased more than 1 bottle, all other bottles MUST be in unopend, unused, and resellable condition.&#8221; This seems like a pretty good guarantee, although they do not specify how much time you have to return the product for a refund.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>7-DFBX Claims</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX claims you can lose up to 21 pounds in one week by taking 7-DFBX diet pills. Anything that promises more than about a pound a day should be questioned. If you do happen to lose some weight when taking 7-DFBX, you won&#8217;t keep the weight off. 7-DFBX does warn to take a week off in between bottles.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Conclusion</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">This 7-DFBX review finds this product is not worth your money. You might experience some weight loss from 7-DFBX, but only because you will be stuck on the toilet. There are more comfortable and more lasting ways to lose weight. Check out our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in correct amounts.</p>

Starts working in 20 minutes&#8221; (website). This AbGone review will disclose the ingredients in AbGone diet pills as well as explore the truth behind the research claims about AbGone.</p>
<h3>AbGone Ingredients</h3>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Vitamin C has healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Zinc (as Zinc Citrate) is a necessary element in health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is somewhat controversial as a diet pill ingredient. Some studies have found it contributes to weight loss, while other studies have found the opposite.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dandelion Root and Leaf Powder, despite what some diet pill companies claim, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Phosphatidylserine supposedly stimulates brain function and prevents muscle breakdown. There is NO proof that </span></span></span><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Phosphatidylserine does anything for weight loss.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid Oil) has been clinically proven to cause weight loss. Unfortunately, AbGone diet pills contain CLA in a proprietary blend (they don&#8217;t tell you how much CLA there is) so it is impossible for this AbGone review to determine if there is enough CLA in AbGone to give any weight loss results.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">L-Leucine is an amino acid which slows muscle degradation. It has no direct correlation to weight loss.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">L-Isoleucine is an amino acid. There is no proof that it does anything for weight loss.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="eleven"><span><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">L-Valine is an amino acid; it does not do anything for weight loss.</span></span></span></p>
<p>The only proven ingredient in AbGone diet pills is CLA, and AbGone fails to disclose how much CLA it contains. Thus, this AbGone review finds you would be better off with a diet pill that is honest about how much of each proven ingredient it contains.</p>
<h3>AbGone Cost</h3>
<p>We found AbGone online for $29 for a one month supply. If you buy it from the AbGone website, you will pay $39 for a month supply plus you will get a free sample of their new product Protein Tastees. This isn&#8217;t especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering there is only one proven ingredient in AbGone and they hide how much of it there is, this is too expensive.</p>
<h3>AbGone Marketing</h3>
<p>The AbGone website is extremely unprofessional. It contains very limited information. There is no company contact information.</p>
<p>The AbGone website claims AbGone has been proven in &#8220;scientific and clinical case studies.&#8221; They do not explain what the case studies were or when or where they were done. This usually means the studies were done in-house with tailored results (if the studies were done at all). They also include quotes from someone named Whitakre, but they never explain who this person is and what credibility, if any, he or she has.</p>
<h3>AbGone Conclusion</h3>
<p>This AbGone review finds AbGone is no different from countless other diet pills&#8211;it contains one proven ingredient in an undisclosed amount. The research claims about AbGone are suspect at best. We recommend finding a diet pill with proven ingredients contained in clinically proven amounts.</p>

<p>This AbGone review finds AbGone is no different from countless other diet pills&#8211;it contains one proven ingredient in an undisclosed amount. The research claims about AbGone are suspect at best. We recommend finding a diet pill with proven ingredients contained in clinically proven amounts.</p>

		<description><![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>

The basic belief of Ayurveda is that health conditions should be treated with holistic, natural therapies. This YogaSlender review will dissect the long list of YogaSlender ingredients to reveal what YogaSlender diet pills will really do.</p>
<h3>YogaSlender Claims</h3>
<p>YogaSlender is supposedly an &#8220;Enlightened weight loss solution&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>YogaSlender claims it will provide:</p>
<p>&#8220;Better Digestion, Metabolism and Body Detoxification<br />
Improved Sleep, Concentration and Memory<br />
Stronger Immune System<br />
Enhanced Weight Control<br />
Better Health&#8221;</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>YogaSlender Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggul </a>supposedly lead to weight loss through an increase in thyroid function. Research has shown varying results.<br />
Gymnema Sylvestre has been proven to control blood sugar levels. YogaSlender fails to disclose how much gymnema sylvestre it contains.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> contains HCA (hydroxycitric acid), which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Again, YogaSlender hides how much garcinia cambogia it contains, making it impossible for this YogaSlender review to determine if the amount of garcinia cambogia in YogaSlender diet pills is enough to be effective.<br />
Cinnamon is supposed to help control blood sugar, but there is no research to substantiate this.<br />
Dandelion root has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Triphala<br />
Cayenne Pepper<br />
Clary Sage<br />
Gotu Kola<br />
Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Since YogaSlender does not say how much coleus forskohlii it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough to cause weight loss.<br />
Kelp<br />
Salacia Reticulata<br />
Bitter Melon<br />
Bibitaki<br />
Holy Basil</p>
<h3>YogaSlender Cost</h3>
<p>YogaSlender diet pills cost $16 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last about a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since YogaSlender does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, any amount is too much to pay for YogaSlender.</p>
<h3>YogaSlender Website</h3>
<p>The YogaSlender website is very basic. It contains only the most basic information about YogaSlender diet pills. The website says nothing about a guarantee. We emailed YogaSlender to find out if there is a guarantee. They never responded. The website has nothing but an email address for customer service&#8211;there is no phone number or mailing address. A company&#8217;s customer service says a lot about their product, and YogaSlender obviously does not consider customer service to be a priority.</p>
<h3>YogaSlender Conclusion</h3>
<p>This YogaSlender review finds YogaSlender is no different from so many other diet pills. It contains a few proven ingredients but fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. The customer service (or lack thereof) makes us really question YogaSlender. Look for a diet pill company with some credibility, one that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/72hour1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-597" title="72hour1" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/72hour1.jpg" alt="" width="96" height="150" /></a>The 72 Hour Diet Pill is a diet pill which will help you &#8220;Lose 12 pounds in 72 hours&#8221; (website).This 72 Hour Diet Pill review will examine the ingredients in the 72 Hour Diet Pill to determine if there is any truth behind the claims about the 72 Hour Diet Pill.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Diet Pill Ingredients</h3>
<p>Potassium Gluconate 200 mg<br />
Dandelion Root 1000 mg<br />
Uva Ursi 500 mg<br />
Buchu Leaves 250 mg<br />
Juniper Berry 250 mg<br />
Caffeine Anhydrous 100 mg<br />
Ginger Root 50 mg</p>
<p>Potassium provides healthy benefits but does NOT contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>There is no scientific evidence that dandelion contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi is used to treat various maladies including diarrhea, bladder infections, and headaches. There is evidence that a drug interaction is possible when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu and Juniper).</p>
<p>Buchu and Juniper have been shown to be diuretics in mice, causing weight loss. However, there have been no human studies to substantiate these findings.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> is nothing more than caffeine. Caffeine increases metabolic function, which causes weight loss. Studies have found that a dose of at least 300 mg per day is needed for caffeine to be effective in causing weight loss. Thus, this 72 Hour Diet Pill review finds the caffeine in the 72 Hour Diet Pill is NOT enough to be effective.</p>
<p>Ginger root is used in calming the stomach. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Diet Pill Cost</h3>
<p>72 Hour Diet Pills cost $9.99 for 36 capsules. According to the 72 Hour Diet Pill website, this is an &#8220;online exclusive&#8221; and you save $40 per bottle. This is a gimmick used by numerous diet pill companies to make you think you are getting a great deal.  Each bottle contains two 72 hour supplies. It is recommended you do not take more than two cycles of 72 Hour Diet Pills per month. Thus, one bottle of 72 Hour Diet Pills will last a month.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Diet Pill Refund</h3>
<p>72 Hour Diet Pill offers a full refund less shipping and handling with no time limit. They do request you follow the dosage directions and wait for results before requesting a refund.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Diet Pill Results</h3>
<p>72 Hour Diet Pill website contains typical testimonials of those who have supposedly had great success with the 72 Hour Diet Pill. The research on proven ingredients shows that these ingredients need to be taken in proven amounts over at least several days before you will see results. Thus, if you are seeing weight loss in 72 hours, it is probably because you are stuck on the toilet. Maybe you will lose weight with 72 Hour Diet Pill, but it will not be pleasant or long lasting.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Diet Pill Conclusion</h3>

<h3>72 Hour Diet Pill Ingredients</h3>
<p>Potassium Gluconate 200 mg<br />
Dandelion Root 1000 mg<br />
Uva Ursi 500 mg<br />
Buchu Leaves 250 mg<br />
Juniper Berry 250 mg<br />
Caffeine Anhydrous 100 mg<br />
Ginger Root 50 mg</p>
<p>Potassium provides healthy benefits but does NOT contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>There is no scientific evidence that dandelion contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi is used to treat various maladies including diarrhea, bladder infections, and headaches. There is evidence that a drug interaction is possible when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu and Juniper).</p>
<p>Buchu and Juniper have been shown to be diuretics in mice, causing weight loss. However, there have been no human studies to substantiate these findings.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> is nothing more than caffeine. Caffeine increases metabolic function, which causes weight loss. Studies have found that a dose of at least 300 mg per day is needed for caffeine to be effective in causing weight loss. Thus, this 72 Hour Diet Pill review finds the caffeine in the 72 Hour Diet Pill is NOT enough to be effective.</p>
<p>Ginger root is used in calming the stomach. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>

This is a gimmick used by numerous diet pill companies to make you think you are getting a great deal.  Each bottle contains two 72 hour supplies. It is recommended you do not take more than two cycles of 72 Hour Diet Pills per month. Thus, one bottle of 72 Hour Diet Pills will last a month.</p>
