When you absolutely must have a hard, lean look, and time is of the essence, Taraxatone is the best weapon you can have against water-weight bloat&#8221; (website). This Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review will explain what Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme really is and will reveal the tainted past of its manufacturer, Cytodyne.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B6 (50 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (25 mg ) is necessary to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Dandelion (250 mg) is included in many diet pills. However, there is no evidence to show that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi (500 mg) is used to treat various maladies from bladder infections to headaches; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Hydroxanthine Complex 235 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective it has to be used in doses of 300 mg per day. Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme does not list how much green tea it contains, so it is impossible for this Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is dried caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Once again, Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme diet pills do not reveal how much caffeine they contain so there is no way of knowing if the caffeine will be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>Horsetail extract 250 mg</p>
<p>TX-HP 150 mg</p>
<p>Celery Seed Powder</p>
<p>Taurine is supposed to boost energy. However, studies have proven this false.</p>
<p>Parsley Powder</p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Cost</h3>
<p>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme diet pills cost $16.89 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is quite expensive especially considering Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and caffeine anhydrous) and hides how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Marketing</h3>
<p>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme claims to be a diuretic. As such, it will ONLY CAUSE A REDUCTION IN WATER, NOT IN ACTUAL WEIGHT. This is not a typical diet pill. It will only make your muscles look more defined (assuming it really works like they claim it does). Unless you are a body builder (or a teenager like they are marketing to) don&#8217;t bother with this product. You won&#8217;t see any weight loss results.</p>
<h3>Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme review finds this product is questionable to say the least. It is manufactured by a company with a shady past. Ultra Strength Taraxatone Extreme markets to teenagers. If you really want to lose weight, use a diet pill with proven ingredients included in proven amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-630" title="xpel" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/xpel.jpg" alt="" width="85" height="150" /><span class="subHeadline">Xpel is a diuretic diet pill that will help you &#8220;see results in just 12 hours&#8221; (website).<strong> </strong>This Xpel review will examine the validity behind Xpel&#8217;s claims as well as expose the truth behind Xpel&#8217;s marketing to show you what you can really expect from Xpel diet pills.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Xpel Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B12 50mg<br />
Magnesium (from electrolyte blend) 100mg<br />
Calcium (from electrolyte blend) 200mg<br />
Potassium (from electrolyte blend) 90mg</p>
<p>Xeritone-PSD Herbal Diuretic Blend: 1,200mg<br />
Buchu leaf (Barosma betulina)</p>
<p>Cornsilk stylus (Zea mays)</p>
<p>Couchgrass rhizome(Agropyron repens)</p>
<p>Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens)</p>
<p>Juniper berry fruit (Juniperus communis)</p>
<p>Uva ursi leaf (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)</p>
<p>Dandelion root 5:1 extract (20% taraxasterol and 3% choline)</p>
<p>Horsetail extract (7% soluble silica)(whole plant)</p>
<p>Electrolyte Blend: 1,141mg<br />
Calcium carbonate</p>
<p>Potassium citrate</p>
<p>Calcium gluconate</p>
<p>Magnesium oxide</p>
<p>Green tea leaf &amp; Guarana seed extract: 120mg<br />
(providing 75mg caffeine)</p>
<p>Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium have healthy benefits, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Buchu and Juniper have shown to be a diuretic in mice, but no human studies have been done.</p>
<p>Uva Ursi is used to treat various medical problems such as headache and bladder infection. There is evidence that unsafe interactions can occur when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu and Juniper).</p>
<p>There is no evidence that dandelion or horsetail contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. However, studies proving green tea use 300 mg per day. This Xpel review finds there is not enough green tea in Xpel diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</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. Xpel diet pills do not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate.</p>
<p>Xpel claims to be better than other diuretics, but if you compare the ingredients, they are exactly the same.</p>
<h3>Xpel Cost</h3>
<p>Xpel diet pills cost $15.99 for 80 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is expensive for a diet pill. The only proven ingredient in Xpel is green tea, and there is not enough of it to make a difference in weight loss.</p>
<h3>Xpel Guarantee</h3>
<p><span class="style30">The MHP website (manufacturer of Xpel) states, &#8220;All Maximum Human Performance products are covered by a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you&#8217;re not completely satisfied with your product, simply return it with a brief description of the problem.&#8221; This guarantee provides little necessary information. It makes us wonder what the fine print about their guarantee really is.</span></p>
<h3>Xpel Marketing</h3>
<p>The MHP website is packed with pictures of bulging biceps on professional body builders. They must be going for a teenage audience because who honestly believes that a diuretic can give you a body builder&#8217;s body.</p>
<p>They claim, &#8220;The precise and ample amounts of water reducing ingredients in XPEL go to work around your muscle cells to eliminate excess water and give your skin a tight &#8216;plastic wrap&#8217; appearance&#8221; (website). This is just another example of outrageous claims that cannot possibly be true. Using a diuretic will probably keep you on the toilet for a few days, but it is not going to increase your muscles.</p>
<h3>Xpel Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Xpel review finds Xpel diet pills are like any other diuretic. They contain only one proven ingredient, and there isn&#8217;t enough of it included to cause weight loss. Xpel tries to impress you with incredible photos and claims, but there is no scientific evidence that Xpel will cause any weight loss at all. Do yourself a favor and go with a diet pill that has proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
