This Tetrazene Extreme review will give details on each ingredient and help you determine if this is the right diet pill for you.</p>
<h3>Tetrazene Extreme Ingredients</h3>
<p>ThermoZene Proprietary Blend 1332 mg<br />
Slimaluma extract (Caralluma fibriata)<br />
Green tea<br />
Caffeine<br />
Mucuna Pruriens<br />
Razberi-K<br />
Oolong tea<br />
Green coffee<br />
Vinpocetine<br />
Huperzine A</p>
<p>Slimaluma is an alleged appetite suppressant. Studies have failed to prove that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. However, Tetrazene Extreme fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Tetrazene Extreme review to determine if there is enough green tea in Tetrazene Extreme to make it effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine</a> is another ingredient which has been clinically proven to contribute to weight loss. Caffeine is included in a proprietary blend, so the actual amount of caffeine in Tetrazene Extreme remains unknown to consumers.</p>
<p>Mucuna pruriens is supposed to be a &#8220;feel-good&#8221; ingredient; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Raspberry ketones have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice, but more human research is needed.</p>
<p>Oolong tea has been shown to increase metabolism, leading to weight loss. Again, the amount of oolong tea in Tetrazene Extreme is not revealed.</p>
<p>Green coffee has proven to inhibit weight gain in mice, but no research has been done on humans.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine</a> is used to help with age-related memory problems; there is no evidence that vinpocetine contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Huperzine A is used to treat Alzheimer&#8217;s and epilepsy. It does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Tetrazene Extreme diet pills do contain some clinically proven ingredients. Unfortunately, Tetrazene Extreme hides how much of each ingredient is included. This is very common among diet pill companies and usually happens because they don&#8217;t want you to know how little of the proven ingredients are actually included.</p>
<h3>Tetrazene Extreme Cost</h3>
<p>Tetrazene Extreme diet pills cost $25.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last about a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, but since there is no evidence that Tetrazene Extreme actually works, this is $25.95 too much.</p>
<h3>Tetrazene Extreme Guarantee</h3>
<p>Tetrazene Extreme does have a guarantee. In order to get your money back, you have to contact BioQuest (Tetrazene Extreme manufacturer) to get a &#8220;Return Authorization number&#8221;. Then you have to return the product within 14 business days. They have a lot of hoops to jump through to get a refund.</p>
<h3>Tetrazene Extreme Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Tetrazene Extreme review finds that Tetrazene Extreme is like dozens of other diet pills out there. They contain proven ingredients but do not say how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to know how effective the product will be. Don&#8217;t bother with Tetrazene Extreme. Instead, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-439" title="slimshot" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/slimshot.jpg" alt="slimshot review" width="198" height="173" />Slimshot, a product of the United Kingdom, is &#8220;The new unique effervescent slimming drink that is clinically proven to help you lose weight.&#8221; (website) Slimshot combines three combinations of diet supplements in drink form. Slimshot is supposed to block fat absorption, eliminate fat, and burn fat. This Slimshot review will expose the truth behind these claims to show what you can really<br />
expect from Slimshot.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Ingredients</h3>
<p>Slimshot Morning</p>

<p>A clinical study found that green coffee extract was successful in inhibiting weight gain. However, this study was done on mice. Until studies are done on humans, it is impossible to know exactly how effective green coffee extract is in weight loss.</p>
<p>Green tea is a scientifically proven ingredient that increases metabolic function, leading to weight loss. However, Slimshot fails to disclose how much green tea it contains; therefore, it is impossible for this Slimshot review to determine the effectiveness of green tea in Slimshot (as usual).</p>
<p>The remaining lengthy list of ingredients is comprised of ingredients that have not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Side effects of Slimshot</h3>
<p>Side effects of Slimshot include increased bowel movements.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Slimshot website states the following,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, you may return it to us within 14 days for a full refund exclusive shipping cost. No returns will be accepted if post marked later than 14 days following the receipt of your shipment. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. We will not accept packages with postage due. Requests for replacements or refunds will be processed promptly upon receipt of your returned package.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We really believe companies should give at least 60 days for customers to return unwanted products; this guarantee simply is not good enough.  By the time you know the product isn&#8217;t working, it&#8217;s too late to return the dumb thing.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Cost</h3>
<p>Because Slimshot is made by a British company, their website lists prices in British Punds. A two week supply of Slimshot costs 16.99 in British Pounds ($33.28 US at the time this article was written). This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since they only include one ingredient (green tea)<br />
that has been proven to contribute to weight loss (and they don&#8217;t disclose how much of it is included).</p>
<h3>Slimshot Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slimshot review finds that Slimshot is really no different from countless other diet supplements. They do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, and they only include one proven ingredient. Go with a product that is honest about <strong>what</strong> it contains and <strong>how much</strong> it contains.</p>
