This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review will sift through the dozens of ingredients and help you see QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse for what it really is.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Ingredients</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse is a 3 part system. The following are the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse.</p>
<h4><strong>-Iso-Burn AM Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Niacin 20 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a> 200 mcg<br />
<br />
<em>QT Capsimax Thermogenic Complex 244 mg</em><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is a good diet pill ingredient, but QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not reveal how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.<br />
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract<br />
Metabromine Cocoa Extract is an appetite suppressant. It needs more clinical backing.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">Bioperine</a> helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no evidence to suggest it causes weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Super Antioxidant Thermo Catalyst Complex 233 mg</em><br />
Blueberry, Blackberry, Transresveratrol, White Willow Bark, Acai<br />
These ingredients do not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Iso-Burn Fatloss Activator 415 mg</em><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Leaf Extract does contribute to weight loss. However, in order for green tea to be effective it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">Raspberry Ketones</a> has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human testing is needed.<br />
Mucuna Pruriens<br />
Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. However, once again, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not say how much Banaba Leaf it contains.<br />
Sclareolide<br />
Acetyl-l-carnitine<br />
QT Detox Cleansing Complex 100 mg<br />
Black Walnut Hull, Grapefruit Seed, Pau D&#8217;arco Bark, Pumpkin Seed, Myrrh Gum Powder, Hyssop, Gentian Root, Elecampane Root, Prickly Ash Bark, Yellow Dock Root, False Unicorn Root<br />
<br />
None of these ingredients contributes to weight loss.</p>
<h4><strong>Iso-Cleanse PM Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Dietary Fiber 2 g<br />
<br />
<em>Iso-Cleanse Herbal Complex 2200 mg</em><br />
Oat Fiber, Cellulose, Senna Leaf, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe Ferrox, Rhubarb, Prune Powder, Carob, Apple Fruit, Tamarind Extract, Date Fruit, Fig Fruit</p>
<p>NONE of the ingredients in Iso-Cleanse PM have been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h4><strong>Iso-Flush Ingredients</strong></h4>
<p>Vitamin B6 50 mg<br />
Magnesium 100 mg<br />
Potassium 100 mg<br />
Herbal Blend 1000 mg<br />
Buchu Leaf<br />
Cornsilk Stylus<br />
Couchgrass Rhisome<br />
Hydrangea Root<br />
Juniper Berry<br />
Uva Ursi has been shown to cause drug interactions when combined with diuretics like Buchu Leaf.<br />
Horsetail Extract<br />
<br />
None of these ingredients has been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
<em>Proprietary Blend 156 mg</em><br />
Dandelion Root<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> is a very effective diet pill ingredient, but only when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.<br />
<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. Because QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not contain either Damiana or Yerba Mate, this QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse finds the Guarana in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
So, overall, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, but it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Cost</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse costs $59.99 for a 14 day supply. This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since there is no proof that QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will actually work. </p>
<h3>QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review finds this product is not worth your time or money. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but the amounts of each ingredient are undisclosed. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<h3>7-DFB (Seven day fat burner)</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-656" title="7-dfb1" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/7-dfb1.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="151" />According to their website, 7-DFB (seven day fat burner) is &#8220;the ONLY Fat Burner in the World that can help YOU Lose 7, 10, 14, Even Up To 21 POUNDS in Just 7-Days&#8221;. They claim the average loser loses 8.75 pounds in 7 days. This 7-DFB review will determine if there is any validity to these lofty claims.<br />
What are the ingredients in 7-DFB?</p>
<p>The following is the ingredient list found on the 7-DFB website</p>
<p>Serving Size: 6 Capsules<br />
Amount per 6 capsule serving</p>
<p>Total carbohydrate 2000 mg<br />
Dietary Fiber      2000 mg<br />
Potassium Gluconate  200 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Polynicotinat</a>e 2 mg<br />
Dandelion Root  1500 mg<br />
Psyllium Husk   500 mg<br />
Oat Bran Fiber   500 mg<br />
Rice Bran Fiber  500 mg<br />
Uva Ursi   500 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/" >Glucomannan</a> 500 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/" >Flax seed powder</a> 500 mg<br />
Cranberry   500 mg<br />
Buchu Leaves 4:1  200 mg<br />
Alfalfa   200 mg<br />
Juniper Berries  200 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a> 100:1   200 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root </a> 120 mg<br />
Parsley   100 mg<br />
Mint leaf   100 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >Red Raspberry</a> Leaf  70 mg<br />
Lemon Peel   70 mg<br />
Hawthorn Berries  70 mg<br />
Red Clover Leaf  70 mg<br />
Burdock Root   70 mg<br />
Irish Moss   70 mg<br />
Aloe Vera   70 mg<br />
Sage    70 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Pepper</a> 70 mg<br />
Noni    50 mg<br />
Mangosteen   50 mg<br />
Pomegranate   50 mg<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar  50 mg<br />
Grapefruit Seed  50 mg</p>
<p>What a long list of ingredients! The 7-DFB website has a description of each ingredient. In addition to those listed on the bottle, they also list <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anyhdrous</a>, apple pectin, fennel seed, and goldenseal.<br />
This seems strange since these ingredients are not listed on the bottle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a>(chromium + picolinic acid) is pushed by companies as an aid to losing weight. It is known that small quantities of chromium are “needed for glucose utilization by insulin in normal health, but deficiency is extremely rare in developed nations.” ((<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_picolinate">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_picolinate</a>))<br />
Some claim chromium picolinate reduces insulin resistance and leads to weight loss. However, studies show mixed results.</p>
<h3>Do you have a chromium deficiency? Probably not.</h3>
<p>Glucomannan is a dietary fiber which makes you feel full. Studies have shown it is effective in promoting weight loss, but only if you take 2-4 grams per day. The amount of glucomannan in 7-DFB diet pills is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The remainder of the ingredients in 7-DFB might be healthy, but they have no effect on weight loss (unless you call a laxative effect a way to promote weight loss). This 7-DFB review finds there is no ingredient in 7-DFB which has been proven to contribute to weight loss (at least not in proven amounts).<br />
How much does 7-DFB cost?</p>
<p>One bottle of 7-DFB diet pills costs $19.99 for a seven day supply. However, if you join the Orovo club (a multi-level marketing company) you can get a bottle of 7-DFB for about $5 (after you pay full price for one product).</p>
<h3>How should 7-DFB be taken?</h3>
<p>The recommended dosage is 6 capsules twice a day for seven days. Allow 7-days without using the product in between cycles.<br />
What are the side effects of 7-DFB?</p>
<p>Side effects of 7-DFB diet pills include frequent bowel movements, increased heart rate, and nausea.<br />
Is there a guarantee for 7-DFB?</p>
<p>The 7-DFB website says they will give a full refund if you return your empty bottle (plus any unopened bottles). You will receive a &#8220;prompt refund&#8221; minus shipping and handling.</p>
<h3>7-DFB conclusion</h3>
<p>This 7-DFB review finds this is not a typical fat burner. It does not contain ingredients typically contained in fat burners. There are no proven ingredients in 7-DFB diet pills. Any claim that you can lose 21 pounds in seven days should be a huge red flag. Maybe you could lose weight on 7-DFB but it would most likely be because you would be stuck on the toilet for a week. If you really want to lose weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p>Glucomannan is a dietary fiber which makes you feel full. Studies have shown it is effective in promoting weight loss, but only if you take 2-4 grams per day. The amount of glucomannan in 7-DFB diet pills is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The remainder of the ingredients in 7-DFB might be healthy, but they have no effect on weight loss (unless you call a laxative effect a way to promote weight loss). This 7-DFB review finds there is no ingredient in 7-DFB which has been proven to contribute to weight loss (at least not in proven amounts).<br />
How much does 7-DFB cost?</p>
<p>One bottle of 7-DFB diet pills costs $19.99 for a seven day supply. However, if you join the Orovo club (a multi-level marketing company) you can get a bottle of 7-DFB for about $5 (after you pay full price for one product).</p>
<h3>How should 7-DFB be taken?</h3>
<p>The recommended dosage is 6 capsules twice a day for seven days. Allow 7-days without using the product in between cycles.<br />
What are the side effects of 7-DFB?</p>
<p>Side effects of 7-DFB diet pills include frequent bowel movements, increased heart rate, and nausea.<br />
Is there a guarantee for 7-DFB?</p>
<p>The 7-DFB website says they will give a full refund if you return your empty bottle (plus any unopened bottles). You will receive a &#8220;prompt refund&#8221; minus shipping and handling.</p>
<h3>7-DFB conclusion</h3>
<p>This 7-DFB review finds this is not a typical fat burner. It does not contain ingredients typically contained in fat burners. There are no proven ingredients in 7-DFB diet pills. Any claim that you can lose 21 pounds in seven days should be a huge red flag. Maybe you could lose weight on 7-DFB but it would most likely be because you would be stuck on the toilet for a week. If you really want to lose weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<ul class="descList">
<li>&#8220;More energy</li>
<li>Natural weight loss</li>
<li>Reduced cravings</li>
<li>Improved muscle tone</li>
<li>Balanced digestion</li>
<li>Greater mental focus&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>This Cleanse for Life review will explain the untold truths about Cleanse for Life and its manufacturer, Isagenix, to give you the full story behind this product.</p>
<h3>Cleanse for Life Ingredients</h3>
<p>Sodium (45mg ) is necessary for health, but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Potassium (70 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Total Carbohydrate 10g</p>
<p>Dietary Fiber (1g ) is very important in health, but it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Sugars 8 g</p>
<p>Other Carbohydrate 1g</p>
<p>Vitamin B3 (niacin) 8 mg</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 8 mg</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) 30 mcg</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 100 ml</p>
<p>Aloe Vera Leaf gel is used in many skin care products, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>IsaLyte trace minerals</p>
<p>Pau D&#8217;Arco inner bark</p>
<p>Suma root is supposed to keep hormonal balance. There is no proof that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Eleutherococcus Senticocus root extract is supposed to increase the immune system; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Burdock root</p>
<p>Fennel seed</p>
<p>Peppermint leaf</p>
<p>Licorice root</p>
<p>Choline bitarate is contained in many diet supplements which claim choline reduces body fat, but there is no evidence to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. It is used to treat depression and ADD.</p>
<p>Betain HCl</p>
<p>L-Methionine helps breakdown fats and aids in digestion. It is not recommended that you supplement with L-Methionine unless directed by your doctor.</p>
<h3>The Truth Behind Cleanse for Life</h3>
<p>The Cleanse for Life website (the Isagenix company website) is quite frustrating. There are no prices listed and no guarantee listed either. Of course they do not say how much of each ingredient is included (supposedly because they don&#8217;t want anyone stealing their formula).</p>
<p>Well, we contacted Isagenix customer service and here is what we found:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you sign up for a yearly membership ($39 per year), you get a discount on Isagenix products.</li>
<li>Before they will give you the price for a single bottle of Cleanse for Life they try to sell you their &#8220;30 Day Cleanse&#8221; (which costs $374 without a membership and $260 with one). If that doesn&#8217;t work they try to sell you the &#8220;9 Day Cleanse&#8221; (which costs $174.95 without a membership and $130 with one). These extended day cleanse programs include several products including Cleanse for Life.</li>
<li>Finally they told me the price on one single bottle of Cleanse for Life. It is $43 without a membership and $32 with one. One bottle of Cleanse for Life lasts 2 days.</li>
<li>Isagenix employs Multi-Level Marketing tactics, although they do not call them such. In other words, they try to get you to sell Isagenix products and give you a cut of everything you sell. Maybe that is why they don&#8217;t list their prices online&#8211;you get a different price depending on how much you have sold and who you buy it through.</li>
<li>Isagenix does have a 30 day money back guarantee. However, they will not refund your membership fee. We like that they will return your money (minus shipping and handling), but we like to see a guarantee of 90 days.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cleanse for Life Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Cleanse for Life review finds that Cleanse for Life seems like nothing more than a scam. It does not contain any proven ingredients, and the marketing is misleading and confusing. If you really want to lose weight, use a diet pill with proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
