		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/d4.jpg" alt="d4" title="d4" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1854" />D4 Thermal Shock is a diet pill that &#8220;helps you obtain your fat loss and fitness goals much more efficiently than previously thought&#8221; (website). This D4 Thermal Shock review will give you the information you can&#8217;t find on the Cellucor (D4 Thermal Shock manufacturer) website so you can determine if D4 Thermal Shock is the diet pill for you.</p>
<h3>D4 Thermal Shock Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>Embelic Myrobalan Extract</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/">Caffeine</a></strong> is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Although D4 Thermal Shock does not list how much of each ingredient it contains, the customer service representative told me there are 298 mg of caffeine contained in D4 Thermal Shock. Based on this information, this D4 Thermal Shock review finds the caffeine in D4 Thermal Shock is sufficient to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>White Willow Bark Extract</strong> is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/octopamine-hcl-review/">Octopamine</a></strong> has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Yohimbine</strong> causes weight loss by mobilizing fatty acids. Unfortunately, D4 Thermal Shock does not reveal how much Yohimbine it contains.<br />
<strong>Evodiamine</strong> does contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Scareolide</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/">Vinpocetine</a></strong> increases blood flow to the brain; it has not been shown to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Passion Flower Extract</strong><br />
<strong>Acetyltyrosine</strong> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Since there is no record of how much tyrosine D4 Thermal Shock contains, there is no way to determine if it will actually cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
This D4 Thermal Shock review finds the ingredients in D4 Thermal Shock could very well cause weight loss, if they are included in the necessary amounts. However, since D4 Thermal Shock does not list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing whether or not the product will cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>D4 Thermal Shock Cost</h3>
<p>D4 Thermal Shock diet pills cost $71.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle of D4 Thermal Shock will last a month. This is on the expensive side for a diet pill, but not outrageous considering it actually has potential to be effective.</p>
<h3>D4 Thermal Shock Customer Service</h3>
<p>I had several questions about D4 Thermal Shock, so I tried their live online chat. Usually this means you are chatting with a computer that can only answer general questions. However, the chat I had about D4 Thermal Shock was with a live person and was very informative.<br />
<br />
I asked what how much of each ingredient is included in D4 Thermal Shock. The representative (Jerry) told me that because of patent issues, they can&#8217;t release information on ingredient amounts.<br />
<br />
He did inform me that if you purchase D4 Thermal Shock you will receive free counseling from a personal trainer. With the trainer you agree on a feasible weight loss goal. If you do not achieve your goal, D4 Thermal Shock will refund your money.  Fairly impressive.</p>
<h3>D4 Thermal Shock Conclusion</h3>
<p>This D4 Thermal Shock review finds there are several effective ingredients contained in D4 Thermal Shock diet pills. Unfortunately, there is no indication of how much of each ingredient is included. While this would usually be reason enough for us not to recommend a product, we really like the guarantee associated with D4 Thermal Shock and the great customer service.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/phenphedrine.jpg" alt="phenphedrine" title="phenphedrine" width="64" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1644" />Phenphedrine is another &#8220;High Performance Weight Loss Formula&#8221; that has some good potential for effective weight loss.  It uses many of the same ingredients as the popular Fenphedra diet pill, and looks to have borrowed its website design as well.  This Phenphedrine review will look into the ingredients as well as the marketing to see what Phenphedrine has to offer.</p>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/">Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate</a></strong> (250mg) &#8211; While DiCaffeine Malate isn&#8217;t any better or more effective than regular caffeine, caffeine has been proven to increase the metabolic rate, thus aiding in weight loss.  You can read our <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/">caffeine review here</a> or our <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/">DiCaffeine Malate review here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Humulus Lupulus</strong> (100mg) &#8211; While I wasn&#8217;t able to find much research about this ingredient, the little that I did find suggested that Humulus Lupulus can have a calming effect.  The inclusion of this ingredient is likely to offset the effects (jitters) of the stimulants in Phenphedrine.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chocamine-review/">Chocamine</a></strong> (50mg) &#8211; A &#8220;patent pending&#8221; cocoa extract that&#8217;s suppose to have the good benefits of chocolate without the sugar.  It contains caffeine and hence, is another stimulant.  </p>
<p><strong>Razberri-K</strong> (50mg) &#8211; Raspberry Ketone is believed by some to help in fat buring, but evidence is lacking.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a></strong> (50mg) &#8211; While there&#8217;s not much research out there on the effects of ginger on weight loss in humans, it&#8217;s believed by some to help with arthritis pain and heart disease.  Don&#8217;t plan on it doing much in terms of weight loss.  </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/">Phenylethylamine</a></strong> (20mg) &#8211; Having been shown to increase feelings of well-being, Phenylethylamine has been called by some the &#8220;Love Drug.&#8221;  It&#8217;s likely put into Phenphedrine to counteract some of effects of the stimulants.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine</a></strong> (20mg) &#8211; Has been proven to be an effective stimulant in weight loss.  The inclusion of synephrine means that the weight loss pill will be more effective, but also that those who don&#8217;t do well with stimulants should look elsewhere.</p>
<p><strong>Evodiamine</strong> (15mg) &#8211; Has been shown to contribute to weight loss.  </p>
<p><strong>Sclareolide</strong> (15mg)</p>
<p><strong>Dimethylamylamine</strong> (15mg) &#8211; Another powerful stimulant.</p>
<p><strong>Yohimbine</strong> (3mg) &#8211; Has been shown to contribute to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.</p>
<p>The ingredients in Phenphedrine are, for the most part, pretty effective ingredients.  It is very stimulant heavy, so those that don&#8217;t do well with stimulants should consider something else.  The ingredient profile in Phenphedrine is very similar to that of Fenphedra.  Phenphedrine has added a couple of other ingredients, but not many of them are anything to shout about.  </p>
<h2>Phenphedrine&#8217;s Marketing</h2>
<p>Blatantly put, the Phenphedrine website is almost a direct copy of the Fenphedra website.  They both use the same CART vs NPY sales copy, which makes sense since they contain much of the same ingredients.  </p>
<p>While I can&#8217;t be sure if the testimonials on the website are legitimate or not, I don&#8217;t like that the photos are obviously stock photos (seen all over the internet) and not photos of the actual person giving the testimonial.  </p>
<h2>Phenphedrine&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>Phenphedrine costs $69.95 per bottle.  This is an average price for an <em>effective</em> diet pill.  If it wouldn&#8217;t work, I&#8217;d say this is too much, but if Phenphedrine can deliver results (like Fenphedra), than the price is reasonable.</p>
<h2>Lifetime Guarantee</h2>
<p>One thing that I really like about Phenphedrine is that they offer a lifetime money back guarantee.  They don&#8217;t let you return any opened bottles, but this is somewhat common in this industry.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The ingredients in Phenphedrine are strong.  As such, this stimulant heavy diet pill is likely to help you with weight loss.  Because of the stimulants, however, the diet pill won&#8217;t be for everyone.  All things considered, Phephedrine gets a green light.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/aspire.jpg" alt="aspire" title="aspire" width="121" height="134" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1332" />Aspire is a weight loss product marketed solely towards women that claims to be the &#8220;solution women like you have been waiting for.&#8221;</p>
<p>So how does Aspire stack up against the competition?  This Aspire review will take a look at their ingredients, marketing, guarantee, and pricing to help you decide for yourself.</p>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<p>The Aspire weight loss product consists of 3 different formulas: Cleanse, Weight Loss, &#038; Appetite Suppressant.</p>
<p>Cleanse is designed kick start your weight loss by ridding your body of toxins.<br />
Weight Loss is meant to boost your energy and your fat burning capabilities.<br />
Appetite Suppressant is (surprise!) supposed to help you eat less.</p>
<h3>Aspire Cleanse</h3>
<p><strong>Lactobacillus Acidophilus</strong><br />
<strong>Psyllium Seed</strong><br />
<strong>Aloe Vera</strong><br />
<strong>Cascara Sagrada</strong> &#8211; A natural laxative, cascara sagrada is effective but has a number of side effects and safety warnings (such as don&#8217;t take it for longer than 7 days in a row).<br />
<strong>Milk Thistle Seed</strong><br />
<strong>Fennel Seed</strong><br />
<strong>Rhubarb Root</strong><br />
<strong>Raspberry Leaf</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/">Flaxseed</a></strong><br />
<strong>Goldenseal Herb</strong><br />
<strong>Dandelion Leaf</strong></p>
<p>This is a pretty standard mix of fibers designed to cleanse your system.  </p>
<h3>Aspire Weight Loss</h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">Raspberry</a></strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana</a></strong> &#8211; Has shown to be effective when combined with yerba mate and damiana.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a></strong> &#8211; An effective and proven weight loss ingredient, green tea helps to increase the metabolic rate and is known for its fat burning capabilities.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/">Guggulsterones</a></strong>While many claim that it aids in fat burning, research is lacking that supports this theory.<br />
<strong>Rhodiola Rosea</strong><br />
<strong>Cinnamon Bark</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Yerba Mate</a></strong> &#8211; Has shown to be effective when combined with guarana and damiana.<br />
<strong>Banaba</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/">Ginseng</a></strong> &#8211; Many believe that ginseng aids in weight loss, and early studies seem slightly supportive, but more definitive research is needed.<br />
<strong>Dandelion Root</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/">Alpha-lipoic Acid</a></strong> &#8211; While it&#8217;s true the alpha-lipoic acid helps produce energy, studies suggest that your body already makes enough of it so more isn&#8217;t likely to do much good.<br />
<strong>Evodiamine</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a></strong> &#8211; Chromium plays in important role in blood sugar regulation.  More research is needed, however, that shows that chromium supplementation leads directly to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Aspire Appetite Suppressant</h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/">Glucomannan</a></strong>A dietary fiber that has quite a bit of research backing up its claims to be an effective appetite suppressant.<br />
<strong>Fibersol-2</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/">Hoodia Gordonii</a></strong>Hoodia is a fad ingredient that has almost zero research backing up its claims to aid in weight loss through appetite suppression.  It became popular by marketing, and not for its efficacy.</p>
<p>Some of the ingredients in Aspire are good and some are hype.  If they disclosed the amounts of each ingredient, it would be much easier to gauge it&#8217;s effectiveness.  </p>
<h2>Aspire&#8217;s Marketing</h2>
<p>First, the positive.  I like that Aspire lists all of the ingredients in the different formulas and even has a little information about each one.  This can be found by going to the FAQ&#8217;s, then clicking the question about the ingredients.  While I wish they told us how much of each ingredient is in the mix, they&#8217;ve done more than some companies that I&#8217;ve seen.</p>
<p>What I don&#8217;t like about Aspire&#8217;s marketing is that the entire website feels like some hyped up sales pitch that almost tries to play off of people&#8217;s insecurities.  You&#8217;ll see comments such as, &#8220;Do You Feel Like Crying When You Look In The Mirror? Use Aspire And Laugh Out Loud When You Get On The Scale&#8221; or &#8220;heads will turn wherever and whenever you walk by.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oh, and this was a favorite: </p>
<blockquote><p>You should not be spending your time worrying or crying about your weight. If you really want to be slim and gorgeous and wear those hot bathing suits you’ve seen on the beaches (and only dreamed of wearing), we have the answer you’ve been waiting for.</p></blockquote>
<p>As if we have to be slim and skinny in order to be happy and beautiful.  I hope you can see through the shallow marketing.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t however, see any big red flags other than the distasteful sales copy.</p>
<h2>Aspire&#8217;s Money Back Guarantee</h2>
<p>I was glad to see that Aspire offers a 90 day money back guarantee.  Anything over 60 days in this industry is pretty good, so 90 days is a pretty solid guarantee.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m somewhat confused at something in their guarantee.  Here&#8217;s what it says (emphasis added):  &#8220;If you’re not happy with Aspire, contact us within 90 days of your purchase date and return <strong>the unused portion</strong> (<strong>even if you’ve used everything</strong>), and you’ll get a full refund (less shipping), no questions asked!&#8221;</p>
<p>The first part makes me believe that you can only get a refund for the unused (or unopened) bottles.  But the second part in parenthesis makes it sound like you get a refund on all bottles, even if they were used (and are now empty).  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t have any big reason to believe that this ambiguous terminology isn&#8217;t intentionally trying to trick consumers, but If I were you I&#8217;d play it safe and only count on getting refunded for unused bottles.</p>
<h2>Aspire&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>A one month supply is $49.97.  If it&#8217;s effective, this isn&#8217;t a bad price for a weight loss product.  Of course, they suggest you take it for 3 to 6 months (likely to pad their pockets a little more).</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>The Aspire weight loss product consist of a pretty good ingredient profile.  Many of the ingredients have been proven, and some have not.  Overall, as long as the ingredients are included in the correct amounts (which we can&#8217;t verify since they don&#8217;t disclose it) than it&#8217;s likely to be fairly effective.  I like their guarantee and the price is decent.  I don&#8217;t, however, like the manner in which they&#8217;ve marketed their product. You be the judge.</p>

<p>So how does Aspire stack up against the competition?  This Aspire review will take a look at their ingredients, marketing, guarantee, and pricing to help you decide for yourself.</p>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<p>The Aspire weight loss product consists of 3 different formulas: Cleanse, Weight Loss, &#038; Appetite Suppressant.</p>
<p>Cleanse is designed kick start your weight loss by ridding your body of toxins.<br />
Weight Loss is meant to boost your energy and your fat burning capabilities.<br />
Appetite Suppressant is (surprise!) supposed to help you eat less.</p>
<h3>Aspire Cleanse</h3>
<p><strong>Lactobacillus Acidophilus</strong><br />
<strong>Psyllium Seed</strong><br />
<strong>Aloe Vera</strong><br />
<strong>Cascara Sagrada</strong> &#8211; A natural laxative, cascara sagrada is effective but has a number of side effects and safety warnings (such as don&#8217;t take it for longer than 7 days in a row).<br />
<strong>Milk Thistle Seed</strong><br />
<strong>Fennel Seed</strong><br />
<strong>Rhubarb Root</strong><br />
<strong>Raspberry Leaf</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/">Flaxseed</a></strong><br />
<strong>Goldenseal Herb</strong><br />
<strong>Dandelion Leaf</strong></p>
<p>This is a pretty standard mix of fibers designed to cleanse your system.  </p>
<h3>Aspire Weight Loss</h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/">Raspberry</a></strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana</a></strong> &#8211; Has shown to be effective when combined with yerba mate and damiana.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a></strong> &#8211; An effective and proven weight loss ingredient, green tea helps to increase the metabolic rate and is known for its fat burning capabilities.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/">Guggulsterones</a></strong>While many claim that it aids in fat burning, research is lacking that supports this theory.<br />
<strong>Rhodiola Rosea</strong><br />
<strong>Cinnamon Bark</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Yerba Mate</a></strong> &#8211; Has shown to be effective when combined with guarana and damiana.<br />
<strong>Banaba</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/">Ginseng</a></strong> &#8211; Many believe that ginseng aids in weight loss, and early studies seem slightly supportive, but more definitive research is needed.<br />
<strong>Dandelion Root</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/">Alpha-lipoic Acid</a></strong> &#8211; While it&#8217;s true the alpha-lipoic acid helps produce energy, studies suggest that your body already makes enough of it so more isn&#8217;t likely to do much good.<br />
<strong>Evodiamine</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a></strong> &#8211; Chromium plays in important role in blood sugar regulation.  More research is needed, however, that shows that chromium supplementation leads directly to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Aspire Appetite Suppressant</h3>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/">Glucomannan</a></strong>A dietary fiber that has quite a bit of research backing up its claims to be an effective appetite suppressant.<br />
<strong>Fibersol-2</strong><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/">Hoodia Gordonii</a></strong>Hoodia is a fad ingredient that has almost zero research backing up its claims to aid in weight loss through appetite suppression.  It became popular by marketing, and not for its efficacy.</p>
<p>Some of the ingredients in Aspire are good and some are hype.  If they disclosed the amounts of each ingredient, it would be much easier to gauge it&#8217;s effectiveness.  </p>
<h2>Aspire&#8217;s Marketing</h2>
<p>First, the positive.  I like that Aspire lists all of the ingredients in the different formulas and even has a little information about each one.  This can be found by going to the FAQ&#8217;s, then clicking the question about the ingredients.

</ul>
<p>Do not be impressed by this excessive list of ingredients. TFuel Hardcore diet pills do contain some effective ingredients, but they fail to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually because there is just a trace amount of each ingredient included. There is no reason to believe TFuel Hardcore will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains &#8220;patented ingredients.&#8221; The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Price</h3>
<p>TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.</p>
<h3>Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?</h3>
<p>After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

</ul>
<p>Do not be impressed by this excessive list of ingredients. TFuel Hardcore diet pills do contain some effective ingredients, but they fail to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually because there is just a trace amount of each ingredient included. There is no reason to believe TFuel Hardcore will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains &#8220;patented ingredients.&#8221; The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Price</h3>
<p>TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.</p>
<h3>Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?</h3>
<p>After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

The MX-LS7 website claims it is &#8220;Scientifically proven core, shown to stimulate metabolic rate by up to 1,391%.&#8221; They give no information on the supposed research they used to come up with this information. This MX-LS7 review will show MX-LS7 diet pills are not worth your consideration.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> does cause weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, MX-LS7 hides how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate</a> has been proven to cause weight loss but only when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Guarana</a>. MX-LS7 does not contain Damiana or Guarana. Thus, this MX-LS7 review finds the Yerba Mate in MX-LS7 will not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Natural </a>and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >anhydrous caffeine </a>contribute to weight loss, but MX-LS7 does not list how much caffeine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect of synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Once again, MX-LS7 does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Gugglesterone </a>supposedly increase thyroid function, but research has shown varying results.</p>
<p>Clary sage</p>
<p>Coleus forskholii does cause weight loss, but there is no proof of how much coleus forskholii MX-LS7 contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >Tyrosine </a>causes weight loss when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day; it is unlikely that MX-LS7 contains enough Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.</p>
<p>Xanthinol Nicotinate has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Bacopa</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>is used to treat age related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Price</h3>
<p>MX-LS7 diet pills cost $34.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill. Although MX-LS7 contains several clinically proven ingredients, it fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for MX-LS7 diet pills.</p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Guarantee</h3>
<p>MX-LS7 has an unconditional 60-day money-back guarantee. Unlike many other diet pill companies, MX-LS7 will even give refunds on open bottles. We like this guarantee, but be assured you will need it if you buy MX-LS7.</p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Conclusion</h3>
<p>MX-LS7 contains several of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately they do not list how much of each ingredient is included (probably because there are only trace amounts of these ingredients). Look for a diet pill with similar ingredients but one that includes them in the necessary amounts.</p>

<h3>The Burn Ingredients</h3>
<p>Women&#8217;s formula</p>
<p>Advanced Thermogenic Blend</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine HCl</a> (20 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. When looking at synephrine, the important thing is the concentration. The Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Yohimbine (3 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Evodiamine (10mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> (190 mg) is dehydrated caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/" >Di-Caffeine Malate</a> (10 mg), like regular caffeine, contributes to weight loss. With the amount of caffeine contained in The Burn diet pills, be sure to take into account your own reaction to caffeine before taking The Burn.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterone Z &#038; E </a>1:1 (20 mg) are supposed to increase thyroid function to lead to weight loss. Research fails to support this.</p>
<p>L-Taurine (20 mg) is supposed to increase energy; research has failed to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Naringin (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(5 mg) helps in the absorption of nutrients. It has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Estrogen/Cortisol Support Agents</p>
<p>Phosphatidylserine (3 mg) supposedly prevents muscle breakdown and stimulates brain function. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Daidzein (3 mg)</p>
<p>Men&#8217;s formula</p>
<p>Advanced Thermogenic Blend</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine HCl</a> (20 mg)</p>
<p>Yohimbine (4 mg)</p>
<p>Evodiamine (12mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> (190 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/" >Di-Caffeine Malate</a> (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterone Z &#038; E </a>1:1 (22 mg)</p>
<p>L-Taurine (20 mg) is supposed to increase energy; research has failed to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Naringin (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(5 mg) helps in the absorption of nutrients. It has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Anabolic Burn Support Agents</p>
<p>20-Beta-Hydroxy-Ecdysone-2-Acetate-Ester 3 mg</p>
<p>7-Beta-Hydroxy-DHEA 2 mg has proven to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 100 mg per day. Obviously The Burn does not have nearly that much DHEA. However, studies have also suggested DHEA can cause heart palpitations.</p>
<p>It is interesting to note that the differences between the Women&#8217;s and Men&#8217;s Formulas are really insignificant. They have mostly just increased the amount of unproven ingredients.</p>
<h3>The Burn Cost</h3>
<p>The Burn diet pills cost $49.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While The Burn does contain a few proven ingredients, we would like to know the concentration of synephrine. If we are just looking for caffeine and yohimbine, we can find them for much less money.</p>
<h3>The Burn Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Burn has a 6 month full money back guarantee. The even give refunds for opened bottles (if they are at least half full. If they are less than half full you get a partial refund). We like this refund policy.</p>
<h3>The Burn Marketing</h3>
<p>The Burn uses typical diet pill marketing practices in using unbelievable testimonials and pictures. It does not make them stand out from any other diet pill. However, on their website they do have an extensive list of citations for research done on the ingredients contained in The Burn. We like when the company provides the customer with direction in doing their own research.</p>
<p>The Burn website warns, &#8220;Do not use for more than 8 weeks.&#8221; They do not explain what will happen if you use The Burn diet pills for longer than 8 weeks. This is somewhat concerning.</p>
<h3>The Burn Conclusion</h3>
<p>This The Burn review finds that The Burn is really no different from many other diet pills. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but you could find the same ingredients for much less money. Look through our recommended products to find one that is right for you.</p>

<h3>The Burn Ingredients</h3>
<p>Women&#8217;s formula</p>
<p>Advanced Thermogenic Blend</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine HCl</a> (20 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. When looking at synephrine, the important thing is the concentration. The Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Yohimbine (3 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Evodiamine (10mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> (190 mg) is dehydrated caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/" >Di-Caffeine Malate</a> (10 mg), like regular caffeine, contributes to weight loss. With the amount of caffeine contained in The Burn diet pills, be sure to take into account your own reaction to caffeine before taking The Burn.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterone Z &#038; E </a>1:1 (20 mg) are supposed to increase thyroid function to lead to weight loss. Research fails to support this.</p>
<p>L-Taurine (20 mg) is supposed to increase energy; research has failed to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Naringin (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(5 mg) helps in the absorption of nutrients. It has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Estrogen/Cortisol Support Agents</p>
<p>Phosphatidylserine (3 mg) supposedly prevents muscle breakdown and stimulates brain function. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Daidzein (3 mg)</p>
<p>Men&#8217;s formula</p>
<p>Advanced Thermogenic Blend</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine HCl</a> (20 mg)</p>
<p>Yohimbine (4 mg)</p>
<p>Evodiamine (12mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> (190 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/" >Di-Caffeine Malate</a> (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterone Z &#038; E </a>1:1 (22 mg)</p>
<p>L-Taurine (20 mg) is supposed to increase energy; research has failed to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Naringin (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(5 mg) helps in the absorption of nutrients. It has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Anabolic Burn Support Agents</p>
<p>20-Beta-Hydroxy-Ecdysone-2-Acetate-Ester 3 mg</p>
<p>7-Beta-Hydroxy-DHEA 2 mg has proven to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 100 mg per day. Obviously The Burn does not have nearly that much DHEA. However, studies have also suggested DHEA can cause heart palpitations.</p>
<p>It is interesting to note that the differences between the Women&#8217;s and Men&#8217;s Formulas are really insignificant. They have mostly just increased the amount of unproven ingredients.</p>
<h3>The Burn Cost</h3>

This JetFuel review will dissect the ingredients in JetFuel as well as examine the cost and marketing strategies associated with JetFuel to help you determine if this is the diet pill for you.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>JetFuel Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B3 (25 mg) is important to overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (333mcg) has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>JetFuel Proprietary Blend 2164 mg</p>
<p>MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides)</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. JetFuel does not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this JetFuel review finds the Guarana contained in JetFuel diet pills will not be effective at causing weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, JetFuel fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough caffeine in JetFuel to make it effective.</p>
<p>Panex Quiquefolium</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> contributes to weight loss, but once again JetFuel hides the amount of green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. JetFuel diet pills do not list the concentration of synephrine contained.</p>
<p>Yohimbine contributes to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid. JetFuel does not disclose how much Yohimbine it contains.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> is supposed to break down fats, but there is no evidence to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but no human studies have been done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> Extract DOES NOT cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the false claims and celebrity endorsements; research has shown hoodia does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Synthetic <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggelsterone</a> is supposed to increase thyroid function, causing weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/octopamine-hcl-review/" >Octopamine </a>is a popular diet pill ingredient, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5 HTP </a>is a mood enhancer, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>cAMP</p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea is supposed to make you feel good; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Cortisol Blocker Blend 75 mg</p>
<p><span class="style55"> Phosphatidylserine </span></p>
<p>Phosphatidylcholine</p>
<p>Phosphatidylethanolamine</p>
<p>Magnolia Bark</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> is supposed to reduce stress, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Piperine Extract (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine</a>) 5 mg aids in the absorption of nutrients, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>JetFuel Cost</h3>
<p>JetFuel diet pills cost $37.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While JetFuel does contain several proven ingredients, it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<p>JetFuel does offer a &#8220;free sample.&#8221; However, it includes only 3 capsules (half a day&#8217;s worth). How can you tell anything with such a small amount?</p>
<h3>JetFuel Guarantee</h3>
<p>The JetFuel website says nothing about a guarantee so I called their customer service line. The representative I talked to was not knowledgeable. He could not tell me exactly what their guarantee is. According to the representative, they will refund your money if you buy JetFuel from their website. He did not tell me if there is a time limit on the guarantee.</p>
<h3>JetFuel Marketing</h3>
<p>JetFuel has a new spokesman, Jose Canseco. I had to laugh when I saw his face on their website. What reputable company would use Jose Canseco as a spokesman after all the trouble he has been in?</p>
<p>The JetFuel website has dozens of pictures of people with bulging muscles who have supposedly used JetFuel diet pills. Under the pictures is the caption &#8220;results are not typical&#8221;. Why don&#8217;t they have pictures of typical results so you know what to expect?</p>
<h3>JetFuel Conclusion</h3>
<p>This JetFuel review finds JetFuel diet pills are nothing special. They do contain several proven ingredients, but they hide how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend you look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-676" title="ventilean" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ventilean.jpg" alt="" width="89" height="150" />Ventilean is a diet pill that claims, &#8220;If you’re ready to feel the wrath of the fierce fat burning effects of VentiLean, you’ll be letting everybody else know that you too have the violent intensity needed to go from an average physique to one that is suran wrapped to the bone and demands respect&#8221; (website). This Ventilean review will explore the truth behind Ventilean to help you determine if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Ventilean Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B1 (0.75 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B2 (0.85 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B3 (10 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (12 mcg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) has healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 229 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but Ventilean fails to list how much caffeine it includes.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium 30% <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>does contribute to weight loss. When it comes to Synephrine, the higher the concentration the better. Ideally, you would want to see a 90% concentration or even more. Ventilean contains a 30% concentration.</p>
<p>Evodiamine Pure has been proven to cause weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.</p>
<p>Stevia</p>
<p>Yohimbe does cause weight loss, but again Ventilean does not disclose how much Yohimbe it contains. This makes it impossible for this Ventilean review to determine if there is enough Yohimbe in Ventilean to be effective.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>helps with age-related memory problems, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</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 <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Yerba Mate</a>. Ventilean does NOT contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this Ventilean review finds the guarana in Ventilean will not be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>Ventilean claims, &#8220;Not only are our ingredients unique, and proven effective but you can see that we put quality inside and outside&#8221; (website). Don&#8217;t be fooled by this claim. The ingredients in Ventilean can be found in dozens of diet products. While Ventilean does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, the amounts of these ingredients are hidden.</p>
<p>C-Amp</p>
<h3>Ventilean Cost</h3>
<p>Ventilean diet pills cost $59.95 for a 24 day supply. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. While Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients, they hide how much of these ingredients are included (which usually means they put in as little as possible).</p>
<h3>Ventilean Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Ventilean website is contradictory about their guarantee. In one place it says they give you 30 days to return the product for a full refund. In another place they say the timeframe is 60 days. Both places say unopened bottles can be returned for a full refund (minus shipping and handling).</p>
<h3>Ventilean Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ventilean review finds that Ventilean diet pills are really no different from dozens of others. Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients but fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend looking elsewhere for a diet pill. Our recommended products contain proven ingredients in sufficient amounts.</p>

<p>Citrus Aurantium 30% <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>does contribute to weight loss. When it comes to Synephrine, the higher the concentration the better. Ideally, you would want to see a 90% concentration or even more. Ventilean contains a 30% concentration.</p>
<p>Evodiamine Pure has been proven to cause weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.</p>
<p>Stevia</p>
<p>Yohimbe does cause weight loss, but again Ventilean does not disclose how much Yohimbe it contains. This makes it impossible for this Ventilean review to determine if there is enough Yohimbe in Ventilean to be effective.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>helps with age-related memory problems, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</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 <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Yerba Mate</a>. Ventilean does NOT contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this Ventilean review finds the guarana in Ventilean will not be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>Ventilean claims, &#8220;Not only are our ingredients unique, and proven effective but you can see that we put quality inside and outside&#8221; (website). Don&#8217;t be fooled by this claim. The ingredients in Ventilean can be found in dozens of diet products. While Ventilean does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, the amounts of these ingredients are hidden.</p>
<p>C-Amp</p>
<h3>Ventilean Cost</h3>
<p>Ventilean diet pills cost $59.95 for a 24 day supply. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. While Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients, they hide how much of these ingredients are included (which usually means they put in as little as possible).</p>
<h3>Ventilean Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Ventilean website is contradictory about their guarantee. In one place it says they give you 30 days to return the product for a full refund. In another place they say the timeframe is 60 days. Both places say unopened bottles can be returned for a full refund (minus shipping and handling).</p>
<h3>Ventilean Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ventilean review finds that Ventilean diet pills are really no different from dozens of others. Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients but fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend looking elsewhere for a diet pill. Our recommended products contain proven ingredients in sufficient amounts.</p>

This Phentremine Civ-xR review will explore the ingredients contained in Phentremine Civ-xR and reveal how Phentremine Civ-xR diet pills compare to other diet pills.</p>
<h3>Phentremine Civ-xR Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia</a> is not the miracle diet pill ingredient that so many claim it is. There is NO scientific evidence to prove that hoodia actually contributes to weight loss.<br />
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, an ingredient which has been clinically proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Phentremine Civ-xR fails to list how much Citrus Aurantium is included in their proprietary blend. Thus, it is impossible for this Phentremine Civ-xR review to determine the effectiveness of Citrus Aurantium in Phentremine Civ-xR diet pills.<br />
Evodiamine proved to induce weight loss in mice, but more research is needed to determine its effectiveness in humans.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine</a> has been proven to increase metabolic rate, which causes weight loss. Again, Phentremine Civ-xR fails to disclose how much caffeine their product contains.<br />
Yohimbe has been shown to cause weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid </a>(ALA) is necessary for creating energy. The human body creates plenty of Alpha Lipoic Acid on its own; you do not need more ALA than you already have.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>is an ingredient that is somewhat controversial; some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss, while other studies have found it does not.<br />
Senna</p>
<p>If you have read our Phentremine-X review you will notice these two products contain EXACTLY the same ingredients. We find this quite interesting&#8230;</p>
<h3>Phentremine Civ-xR Guarantee</h3>
<p>Phentremine Civ-xR has a 15 day return policy. They charge up to 30% as a return fee. In order to return the product, you have to first call the billing department for an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization). There is no explanation of what will or will not be accepted as a return.</p>
<h3>Phentremine Civ-xR &#8220;Free Trial&#8221;</h3>
<p>Phentremine Civ-xR claims they have a free trial. The fine print of this &#8220;free&#8221; trial is interesting to say the least. If you do not want to keep and pay for the product, you have 15 days to return it. Otherwise you will automatically be charged $85.78 per month, with Phentremine Civ-xR autoshipped to you every month (they ship the product to you monthly whether you order it or not and then charge your credit card for it). This &#8220;free trial&#8221; is flat out misleading and unethical.</p>
<h3>Phentremine Civ-xR &#8220;Marketing&#8221;</h3>
<p>Have you heard of Phentremine Civ-xR before? If so, maybe it is because one of their emails has ended up in your SPAM email. Although SPAM is illegal in the U.S., Phentremine Civ-xR uses SPAM email as its biggest form of marketing. If the product isn&#8217;t good enough to sell itself through regular marketing means, it is not worth looking it.</p>
<h3>Phentremine Civ-xR Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Phentremine Civ-xR review finds this product is misleading and unimpressive. Like so many other diet pills, Phentremine Civ-xR diet pills hide how much of each ingredient is included in their proprietary blend. The use of SPAM email for marketing is pathetic as is the &#8220;free trial&#8221; offered by Phentremine Civ-xR. Please do not bother with this product; it will not do anything for you. Instead, look for a legitimate diet pill with proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
