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[<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>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>Juniper</p>
<p>Artichoke</p>
<p>Restoration &amp; Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)</p>
<p>Licorice root</p>
<p>Astragalus</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>
