Slim Weight Patch Ingredients

According to the Slim Weight Patch website, the following ingredients are contained in Slim Weight Patch:

Fucus Vesiculosus is brown algae. It is supposed to improve thyroid function. However, there is no scientific research to show it actually contributes to weight loss.

Garcinia Cambogia has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, Slim Weight Patch does not reveal how much Garcinia Cambogia it contains. Additionally, the research done on Garcinia Cambogia was done on orally ingested forms. There is no research on how much Garcinia Cambogia in patch form in order to contribute to weight loss.

Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) has been shown to be very effective in causing weight loss. Unfortunately, the FDA has recently warned consumers against taking HCA. This is due to very serious complications, including liver failure and death associated with HCA. This website cannot recommend any product that contains HCA.

Slim Weight Patch Cost

Slim Weight Patch costs $29.56 for a one month supply. There is a discount for bulk purchases. While this is not especially expensive for a weight loss product, considering there is no proof that Slim Weight Patch will actually contribute to weight loss, any amount is too much to pay for Slim Weight Patch.

There simply is not enough research on weight loss patches. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

Slim Weight Patch Guarantee

At first glance, the Slim Weight Patch guarantee looks pretty good; they give you 180 days to return the product for a “full money back” refund.

However, when you look closer, the details make this guarantee much less appealing. In order to receive a refund you have to use the product for 120 days. Additionally, you will be charged $14.65 when obtaining a refund. This isn’t much of a refund. They are just trying to get more money by disguising it as a guarantee.

Slim Weight Patch “Clinical Studies”

The Slim Weight Patch website lists “clinical studies” associated with the ingredients contained in Slim Weight Patch. Just to make it perfectly clear, there have been NO clinical studies on Slim Weight Patch.

The other thing they fail to mention is that all the clinical studies done on the ingredients were done when those ingredients were included in diet pills, NOT in weight loss patches. There has been no research done on weight loss patches, so there is no way of knowing how well the body absorbs the ingredients or how much of each ingredient is needed to cause weight loss.

Slim Weight Patch Conclusion

This Slim Weight Patch review finds Slim Weight Patch is not worth your time or money. There has been no research done on weight loss patches, so there is no way of knowing how it will affect people, including possible side effects. Don’t waste your time on Slim Weight Patch. Go for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Ingredients

Thiamin
Niacin
Vitamin B6
Folate
Vitamin B12
Biotin
Pantothenic Acid
Calcium
Iodine
Magnesium
Zinc
Copper
Chromium has shown varying results in clinical trials; some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss while others have shown the opposite.

Green tea is an excellent diet pill. It has to be used in doses of 300 mg or more per day in order to be effective at causing weight loss. Unfortunately, MeltRX 24 Ultra fails to list how much Green tea it contains, making it impossible for this MeltRX 24 Ultra review to determine if there is enough Green tea in MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills to contribute to weight loss.
Cinnamon
Ginger root
Ginko Biloba supports memory function, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, recent reports from the FDA show HCA may be linked to serious health concerns for the liver. Therefore, we cannot endorse a product containing HCA.

L-Tyrosine has been shown to help increase focus during stressful periods. It does cause weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. Again, MeltRX 24 Ultra does not say how much L-Tyrosine it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.

L-Glutamine is produced naturally by the body. It is unlikely that you would need to supplement with L-Glutamine because your body produces as much as it needs.
Lecithin

You will note that MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills do contain a few proven diet pill ingredients. However, it does not reveal how much of each ingredient it contains. Additionally, MeltRX 24 Ultra contains HCA, which can cause liver problems. Therefore, we cannot recommend MeltRX 24 Ultra.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Price

MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills cost $54 for a 13 day supply, with a discount for buying in bulk. This is WAY too much to pay for this product. There is no reason to believe MeltRX 24 Ultra will actually cause weight loss, and considering the possible danger of HCA, you shouldn’t bother even trying MeltRX 24 Ultra.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Guarantee

MeltRX 24 Ultra has a 30 day, 110% money back guarantee. Although we do like to see a guarantee, 30 days is not enough time to know whether or not a diet pill will actually work. We prefer to see a 90 day guarantee.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Conclusion

This MeltRX 24 Ultra review finds this product is potentially dangerous, and there is no reason to believe it will really cause weight loss. It is also way too expensive. If you are really interested in losing weight, go with a product that includes ingredients that have been clinically proven, ingredients that will not be dangerous to your health.

Celebrities aside, what does MetaboSpeed have to offer? This MetaboSpeed review will help you find out.

Ingredients

Calcium 35 mg
Phosphorus 25 mg
Guarana Extract 800 mg – Has been shown to be an effective appetite suppressant when combined with yerba mate and damiana. Since MetaboSpeed doesn’t include yerba mate and damiana, it’s difficult to say how effective it will be at helping you to eat less.
Bitter Orange Extract 200 mg – Contains synephrine which is a stimulant that has been shown to be effective in weight loss. We know that there is 200 mg of bitter orange, but that doesn’t tell us how much synephrine is in there. Bottom line: it may or may not be an effective amount.

Proprietary Blend: 160 mg

Cellulose
Green Tea – An effective fat burner that also has many other health benefits.
Korean Ginseng – Some research suggests that it may aid in weight loss, but as of yet, it’s not looking too promising.
Garcinia Cambogia – Garcinia cambogia’s main component is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). HCA may be the reason why the FDA issued warnings against Hydroxycut branded products for the potential health dangers relating to the liver. See the Hydroxycut review for more information.
Bee Pollen
White Willow Bark
Vanadium

The amount of the proprietary blend (160 mg) is much too small for the ingredients in the blend to be of much use. Green tea is effective, but not at the levels I’m assuming is in the proprietary blend. The bitter orange may be effective depending on how much synephrine is in there and I’d like to see more research on guarana by itself before I suggest that it will be effective on its own.

In addition, MetaboSpeed includes HCA which is possibly under scrutiny by the FDA.

MetaboSpeed’s Marketing

It’s fairly obvious that MetaboSpeed is relying heavily on the celebrity image to market to their product. I see this as a flawed tactic. Unfortunately, it may work. But why does the fact that a celebrity tried a product all of a sudden make it more effective or legitimate?

On top of that, I’m not totally convinced (even by the ‘magazine articles’) that the celebrities pictured used the product in the first place.

I liked their small disclaimer:

“*These celebrities have been associated with products we sell, or specific ingredients contained within our products. This does not imply that they either endorse or promote any of these products unless otherwise specified.”

Also, I wasn’t too impressed with the MetaboSpeed website in general. They provide almost no information about the actual product itself – I had to go to Lab 88’s website just to get the ingredient list.

MetaboSpeed’s Price

For a one month supply of MetaboSpeed you’ll pay $39.99 (plus $9.95 shipping and handling). While this isn’t a bad price for an effective diet pill, MetaboSpeed isn’t that effective diet pill. The amounts of the ingredients are simply too low to be effective.

MetaboSpeed’s Guarantee

I was glad to see that they at least offer a 30 day guarantee….until I started reading about it. But I’ll simply quote some of it so you can see for yourself:

This guarantee policy allows you to get your initial payment back via a 100% credit for your purchase (excluding shipping and handling) towards the purchase of other nutraceutical dietary supplement products.

So the ‘guarantee’ is only for credit to buy other products made by their company.

Also, here’s the loops you have jump through just to get that:

1. Make a written request via email for your credit within 30 days from the date of your order.
2. Obtain a return authorization code and ship back within 30 days from the date of your order all bottles and products shipped to you in sale-able and sealed unopened condition within its original packaging.
3. You must purchase a multi-bottle offer(s) with a minimum purchase price of $74.88 + shipping/handling to be eligible for this offer. Single bottle orders are excluded.
4. Include your order number, full name and contact information including phone number.
5. You must be a first time customer of any of our sites and you must have purchased our product(s) directly via metabospeed.com.

And it only gets worse:

A restocking fee will be the difference between the price of a item that is under the recurrent billing plan and a price of a single bottle order. The restocking fee shall be applied for any returned products with the above guidelines, and deducted from the credit provided. The restocking fee shall also be applied if the recurrent plan is cancelled before the second order was been shipped out.

As per United State Federal Law, we cannot refund or exchange any open bottles or packages.

A horrible restocking fee policy. Also, just fyi, there are plenty of companies that offer refunds on opened bottles so the “per United States Law” bit is rediculous.

Conclusion

MetaboSpeed contains a few good ingredients, but the amounts of those ingredients are likely to be much too small to be effective. I’m not a huge fan of how they’re marketing the product, but that’s just me. The price is decent, but the guarantee is as close to ‘not a guarantee’ as you can get. I suggest looking elsewhere.

Healthe´ Trim Ingredients

Green Tea is an excellent diet pill ingredient. It has been proven to increase metabolism, leading to weight loss. Studies found green tea is effective when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Healthe´ Trim diet pills do not list how much green tea they contain.

Hoodia Gordonii is supposed to be a miracle ingredient. Despite all the hype, there is absolutely NO scientific evidence to show that Hoodia Gordonii does anything for weight loss. Don’t be taken by the claim that Healthe´ Trim contains “real Hoodia.” Real Hoodia is no more effective than the fake stuff, not to mention they can’t prove that it is real.

Caralluma Fimbriata is an ancient Indian cactus that is supposed to suppress the appetite. There is no scientific evidence to prove this.
16 other important nutrients

10 Mg of Garcinia Cambogia has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but this amount is not nearly enough to be effective.

5 Mg of Hydroxycitric Acid has been proven to cause weight loss. However, in May 9, 2009, the FDA issued a warning about taking Hydroxycut products due to the possibility of liver damage. The FDA has not confirmed which ingredients could be to blame, but it is possible that Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) is to blame.

Healthe´ Trim Marketing

The Healthe´ Trim website is typical of many diet pill websites. It contains sensationalized testimonials and very little relevant information.

One of the main claims by Healthe´ Trim is that if you take Healthe´ Trim diet pills you don’t have to exercise or diet in order to lose weight. However, in another part of the website they state, “When used as part of a calorie controlled diet that includes moderate exercise, Healthe´ Trim will help promote fat oxidation and power your metabolism.”
You cannot even find out how much Healthe´ Trim diet pills cost until you input your personal information on the website.

Healthe´ Trim Guarantee

Healthe´ Trim diet pills have a 30 day guarantee from the date of delivery. While we like that you can return open bottles, 30 days simply isn’t long enough to know whether or not a product will work. We would prefer a 90 day guarantee.

Healthe´ Trim Cost

Healthe´ Trim diet pills cost $54.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is way too expensive for Healthe´ Trim considering it does not contain enough of the proven ingredients to be effective in causing weight loss.

Healthe´ Trim Conclusion

This Healthe´ Trim review finds Healthe´ Trim diet pills are simply a waste of your time and money. There is no evidence that Healthe´ Trim will actually cause weight loss. Their marketing strategies are sketchy and misleading. If you are really serious about losing weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Our recommended products are a great place to start looking.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems. Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA’s report

Common symptoms of liver complications include:

• jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
• brown urine
• light colored stools
• unusual tiredness
• stomach pain
• itching
• loss of appetite
• weakness
• vomiting

In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.” you can never be too cautious.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Phentramine Ingredients

Hoodia Gordonii (800 mg), despite being endorsed by various celebrities, has not been proven to contribute to weight loss; it is just another fad diet pill ingredient with nothing to back it.
L-Carnitine (25 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
L-Taurine (25 mcg) is supposed to increase energy, but research has yet to prove it.
Folic acid (600 mcg) is important to health, but it does nothing for weight loss.
Phentarmine proprietary blend (828 mg)
Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Yerba Mate but not Damiana. Thus, this Phentramine review finds the Guarana in Phentramine capsules will not cause weight loss.
Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Guarana but not Damiana.
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, a power player when it comes to diet pill ingredients. Synephrine is a proven ingredient, but only when it is included in a high concentration. Unfortunately, Phentramine does not say the concentration of Synephrine it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.
Green Tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Phentramine hides how much green tea is contained in the capsules.
Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Cayenne does nothing for weight loss.
Korean Ginseng
Gynemma Sylvestre helps control blood sugar levels, which can lead to weight loss.
7-Keto (DHEA) causes weight loss when used in doses of 100 mg or more per day.

Phentramine capsules contain some of the best diet pill ingredients. However, since Phentramine fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing if there is enough to cause weight loss. Usually this means the manufacturer has included only trace amounts of the proven ingredients (because they are expensive) but does not want the customer to know this. Thus, this Phentramine review finds Phentramine capsules might cause weight loss, but it is not worth the gamble.

Phentramine Cost

Phentramine capsules cost $69 on the Phentramine website for a one month supply. They want you to think you are getting a great discount off the regular price of $109. Even the $69 price is too much to pay for Phentramine capsules. There is a possibility that Phentramine capsules will work, but $69 is a lot to pay for a possibility.

Phentramine Guarantee

The Phentramine website says Phentramine is “100% Quality Satisfaction Guaranteed”. This is very misleading because the fine print says:
“There are NO Refunds after an order has been shipped. This is non-negotiable and indisputable within the terms and agreement accepted before final purchase” (website).
Thus, they are misleading people into thinking they can get a refund when the truth is hidden in the fine print.

Phentramine Conclusion

This Phentramine review finds that Phentramine capsules contain some proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden, making it impossible to know if Phentramine capsules will actually cause weight loss. This, combined with the misleading guarantee, keeps us from recommending Phentramine capsules.

LipoFlush diet pills supposedly “dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits” (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

LipoFlush Ingredients

Vitamin D3 (100 IU) does nothing for weight loss.

Vitamin B5 (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Vitamin B6 (25 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Vitamin B12 (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.

Folic Acid (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.

Biotin (100 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.

Potassium (99 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Calcium (415 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Magnesium (200 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Zinc (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.

Choline (650 mg) supposedly reduces body fat, but studies do not back up this claim.

L-Carnitine (450 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Bioperine (4 mg) increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Citrus Aurantium (300 mg) contains Synephrine, which is a great, proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration–the higher the better. LipoFlush does not disclose the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this LipoFlush review to determine if the Synephrine in LipoFlush diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (100 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but 100 mg isn’t going to do much.

Cordyceps Sinesis (100 mg)

Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg) does contribute to weight loss.

Hawthorne Berry (100 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Caffeine (99 mg) is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is not enough caffeine in LipoFlush diet pills to be effective.

LipoFlush Proprietary Complex 4000 mg

Acanthopanax Senticosus

Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA)  helps produce energy. However, the human body makes plenty of ALA, so there is no need to supplement.

Banaba Leaf

Beta Sitosterol

Betaine

Capsicum

Cellulose

Cinnamon

Damiana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and guarana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and guarana, but it does not list how much of each is included.

Genistein

Ginger

Grape Seed

Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and damiana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.

Guggul extract is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, research does not support these claims.

Glycine

Hoodia does absolutely nothing for weight loss.

Inositol transports fat from the liver. Again, LipoFlush hides how much Inositol it contains.

Kelp

Kola Nut

Lecithin

L-Histidine

L-Tyrosine is effective when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that LipoFlush contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.

Green Tea is a very effective ingredient, but LipoFlush does not list how much green tea it contains.

Magnesium

Mucuna Puriens

Panax Ginseng

Phosphatidylserine

Quercetine dihydrate

Siler extract

Theobroma Cocoa Complex

White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.

Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.

LipoFlush Cost

LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.

LipoFlush Research

The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.

LipoFlush Conclusion

This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don’t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won’t break your bank.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Thermo Cuts Ingredients

Chromium (300 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.

Proprietary Thermo Cuts Blend (2970 mg)

Garcinia Cambogia Extract (Fruit)(65% HCA) does contribute to weight loss. However, Thermo Cuts hides the amount of Garcinia Cambogia it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough to be effective.

NeOpuntia� Extract

Caffeine Anhydrous is simply caffeine. It does contribute to weight loss, but again Thermo Cuts diet pills fail to list the amount contained.

Phase 2® Brand White Kidney Bean Extract (Phaseolus Vulgaris) has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, studies included 1500 mg of white kidney bean every day. It is extremely unlikely that Thermo Cuts contains enough white kidney bean to cause weight loss.

Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis L)(Leaf)(40% EGCG/22% Added Caffeinea) does contribute to weight loss, but only when included in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since green tea is included in a proprietary blend, it is impossible for this Thermo Cuts review to determine if there is enough green tea in Thermo Cuts diet pills to cause weight loss.

Promilin™ (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum)(Seed)(20% 4-Hydroxyisoleucine)

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) does contribute to weight loss, but there is no way of knowing how much CLA is contained in Thermo Cuts.

L-Carnitine does not contribute to weight loss.

Grapefruit Extract (Peel)(20% Naringin)

White & Purple Willow Bark Extract (Salix Alba)(Bark)(15% Salicin)  supposedly enhances the thermogenic effect, but more research is needed to prove this.

Bioperine® (Piper Nigum & Longum L)(Fruit) helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not cause weight loss.

Vanadyl Sulfate

Thermo Cuts Cost

Thermo Cuts diet pills cost $25.99 for 200 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last about 16 days. This is quite expensive, especially considering the proven ingredients in Thermo Cuts are included in “proprietary” amounts (in other words, they put in very little of each ingredient just to say it is in there). Don’t bother with Thermo Cuts. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Thermo Cuts Guarantee

The Thermo Cuts website explains their 30 day guarantee. To get your money back, you have to have purchased Thermo Cuts through the website. Also, you have to call their customer service department and get a Return Authorization Number. At least 75% of the product has to be left for you to return the product. This return policy is a joke! If you only take 25% of the capsules, how will you possibly know if it works? Just one more reason to stay away from Thermo Cuts.

Thermo Cuts Conclusion

This Thermo Cuts review finds Thermo Cuts diet pills are really no different from countless others. They contain a few proven ingredients but hide them in a proprietary blend. They gouge you with the price and then make it next to impossible to return the product.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Thyro-Slim AM Ingredients

Selenium (100 mcg) does not cause weight loss.

Copper (2 mg) does not cause weight loss.

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

Energizing Blend (455 mg)

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

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

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

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

Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)

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

Bladderwrack kelp

Atlantic kelp

Sargassi seaweed

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

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

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

Thyro-Slim PM Ingredients

Vitamin B6 (10 mg)

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

Soothing Herbal Blend (100 mg)

Wild Jujube Seed

Chamomile Flower

Passion Flower

Cleansing Blend (250 mg)

Senna Leaf

Rhubarb root

Cascara Sagrada Bark

Cassia

St. John’s Bread

Apple fruit

Tamarind fruit

Date fruit

Fig fruit

Water Balance Blend (250 mg)

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

Dandelion Root

Cranberry fruit

Buchu leaf

Cornsilk

Couchgrass herb

Hydrangea

Juniper

Artichoke

Restoration & Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)

Licorice root

Astragalus

Ginger

Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)

Guggulipid

Atlantic kelp

Bladderwrack kelp

Sergassi Seaweed

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

Thyro-Slim AM/PM Cost

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

Thyro-Slim AM/PM Marketing

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

Thyro-Slim AM/PM Conclusion

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

This Burn Tropin review shows that Burn Tropin fails to live up to its claims.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems. Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA’s report

Common symptoms of liver complications include:

• jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
• brown urine
• light colored stools
• unusual tiredness
• stomach pain
• itching
• loss of appetite
• weakness
• vomiting

In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.” you can never be too cautious.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Burn Tropin Ingredients

L-Tyrosine (1000 mg) does contribute to weight loss.

Ephedra Free Thermogenic Blend 420 mg

Green tea contributes to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. It has been proven to be effective when taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Burn Tropin diet pills do not say how much green tea they contain, but it is unlikely that there is enough green tea to be effective.

Zhi Shi (Citrus Aurantium) contains synephrine, which has been shown to cause weight loss. The important aspect of synephrine is the concentration (the higher the concentration of synephrine the more effective it is). The concentration of the synephrine contained in Burn Tropin is undisclosed.

Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Again, Burn Tropin fails to list how much Coleus Forskohlii it contains, making it impossible for this Burn Tropin review to determine if there is enough Coleus Forskohlii to be effective.

Appetite Suppression 450 mg

Hydroxycitric acid (Garcinia Cambogia) contributes to weight loss. However, it is contained in a proprietary blend so there is no way of knowing for sure how much Garcinia Cambogia is contained in Burn Tropin diet pills.

Tropin Blend 105 mg

Mucuna Puriens do not cause weight loss.

Guggulsterones supposedly lower cholesterol, but they have not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Burn Tropin does contain some of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, Burn Tropin hides how much of each proven ingredient is included.

Burn Tropin Cost

Burn Tropin diet pills cost $19.95 for a one month supply. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. Unfortunately, since Burn Tropin does not disclose the amount of each ingredient included, any amount is too much to pay for Burn Tropin.

Burn Tropin Marketing

Burn Tropin is manufactured by Baywood International. The Baywood International website is very informative. They do not use the typical gimmicks of doctored before and after pictures or fabricated testimonials. Baywood International does NOT have a guarantee for Burn Tropin because they do not sell Burn Tropin directly; you have to buy it from a retailer. If you are considering buying Burn Tropin, be sure to check into the retailer’s individual guarantee policy.

Burn Tropin Conclusion

This Burn Tropin review finds Burn Tropin is just an average diet pill. Burn Tropin contains a few proven ingredients, but they are included in undisclosed amounts. For real weight loss results, try one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.

AcaiBurn Ingredients

The AcaiBurn website is very vague about the ingredients included. They disclose that AcaiBurn diet pills contain acai extract, garcinia cambogia, gymnema sylvestre, chromium polynicotinate, and green tea. However, they fail to mention if there are other ingredients included or how much of each ingredient is included. While several of the included ingredients have been clinically proven to cause weight loss, since AcaiBurn hides how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing if there is enough of each ingredient to actually cause weight loss. Usually when companies include ingredients in proprietary amounts it is because there are only trace amounts of the proven ingredients included.

Despite what many diet pill companies claim, acai has NOT been proven to cause weight loss. It does have some healthy benefits, but like hoodia, acai in diet pills is all hype.

AcaiBurn claims the acai berries contained are “certified” (website). Don’t be impressed; who knows what “certified” really means.

AcaiBurn Research

The AcaiBurn website claims several research studies have been done showing AcaiBurn’s success at causing weight loss. However, they fail to mention when, where, or by whom these studies were conducted. This usually means that the studies were done in-house (if they were really done at all) so results could be tailored to make the product look better than it really is.

AcaiBurn Website

The AcaiBurn website is pathetic. It is packed with pictures of celebrities, making you assume these celebrities use and endorse AcaiBurn, although they do not actually say it outright.

The website has a lot of information on diets, but hardly any information about AcaiBurn itself. In order to get more information about AcaiBurn you have to put in your name, email, and phone number.

AcaiBurn Trial

AcaiBurn offers a free 14-day trial with a one month’s supply of AcaiBurn diet pills; all you have to pay is the shipping fee of $4.95. You put in your current weight, your goal weight, your height and age, and then they offer you the trial, which is supposedly only offered to certain “preferred” customers. They say you only have 4 minutes to complete the information before the offer expires. Well, the truth is the offer is for everyone and even if you leave the page open for half an hour you can still get the offer. In fact, I tried to navigate from the page after half an hour and was offered an extra $3 off the trial offer.

The details of the trial offer are contained in the fine print. When you sign up for the trial, you also sign up for autoship. In other words, you sign up for AcaiBurn to be delivered to you every month, with your credit card automatically being charged $59.95 per month. Not only that, you also unknowingly sign up to pay $15 per month for the books they send you. This is disgraceful. They con you into thinking you are getting a great deal; they are banking on the fact that most people don’t read the fine print.

AcaiBurn Conclusion

As you can clearly see, AcaiBurn is a waste of your time and money. It is a deceptive product concerned only with making the most money they can; they don’t care about you losing weight. Don’t buy into all the hype over AcaiBurn; it will only leave you disappointed.
