QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Ingredients

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse is a 3 part system. The following are the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse.

-Iso-Burn AM Ingredients

Niacin 20 mg
Chromium 200 mcg

QT Capsimax Thermogenic Complex 244 mg
Caffeine Anhydrous is a good diet pill ingredient, but QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not reveal how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract
Metabromine Cocoa Extract is an appetite suppressant. It needs more clinical backing.
Bioperine helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no evidence to suggest it causes weight loss.

Super Antioxidant Thermo Catalyst Complex 233 mg
Blueberry, Blackberry, Transresveratrol, White Willow Bark, Acai
These ingredients do not cause weight loss.

Iso-Burn Fatloss Activator 415 mg
Green Tea 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.
Raspberry Ketones has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human testing is needed.
Mucuna Pruriens
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.
Sclareolide
Acetyl-l-carnitine
QT Detox Cleansing Complex 100 mg
Black Walnut Hull, Grapefruit Seed, Pau D’arco Bark, Pumpkin Seed, Myrrh Gum Powder, Hyssop, Gentian Root, Elecampane Root, Prickly Ash Bark, Yellow Dock Root, False Unicorn Root

None of these ingredients contributes to weight loss.

Iso-Cleanse PM Ingredients

Dietary Fiber 2 g

Iso-Cleanse Herbal Complex 2200 mg
Oat Fiber, Cellulose, Senna Leaf, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe Ferrox, Rhubarb, Prune Powder, Carob, Apple Fruit, Tamarind Extract, Date Fruit, Fig Fruit

NONE of the ingredients in Iso-Cleanse PM have been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Iso-Flush Ingredients

Vitamin B6 50 mg
Magnesium 100 mg
Potassium 100 mg
Herbal Blend 1000 mg
Buchu Leaf
Cornsilk Stylus
Couchgrass Rhisome
Hydrangea Root
Juniper Berry
Uva Ursi has been shown to cause drug interactions when combined with diuretics like Buchu Leaf.
Horsetail Extract

None of these ingredients has been shown to cause weight loss.

Proprietary Blend 156 mg
Dandelion Root
Green Tea 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.
Guarana 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.

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.

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Cost

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.

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Conclusion

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.

72 Hour Slimming Pill Ingredients

Dandelion root
Uva Ursi is used to treat diarrhea, headaches, and bladder infections. There is concern of a possible drug interaction when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics like Buchu and Juniper.
Buchu has been proven to cause weight loss in mice, but there is no evidence that it does anything to cause weight loss in humans.
Juniper Berry does cause weight loss in mice, but not in humans.
Cornsilk
Couch grass
Parsley
Stinging nettle
Cranberry
Cayenne may cause weight loss, but more research is needed.
Ginger has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice but not in humans.
Milk thistle
Vitamin B6 is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.
Magnesium does not cause weight loss.
Potassium Citrate does not cause weight loss.

There is no real scientific evidence that 72 Hour Slimming Pill actually causes weight loss. In all reality, it might keep you on the toilet for three days and cause short term weight loss. The website does state, “Some customers experience more frequent bowel movements.” Don’t be fooled, though, 72 Hour Slimming Pill is not the answer to your long term weight loss goals.

72 Hour Slimming Pill Cost

72 Hour Slimming Pill costs $12.99 per bottle. There is a discount for bulk purchases. Each bottle contains a 30 day supply; you should wait 30 days between bottles of 72 Hour Slimming Pill.

The price for 72 Hour Slimming Pill really isn’t too bad as diet pills go. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove that 72 Hour Slimming Pill actually works, so any amount of money is too much to pay for this product.

Also, there is NO guarantee on 72 Hour Slimming Pill, so don’t expect to get your money back. If you do decide to buy 72 Hour Slimming Pill, we would suggest buying just 1 bottle so you aren’t out so much money if (when) it doesn’t work.

72 Hour Slimming Pill Conclusion

So, the question is: Will 72 Hour Slimming Pill actually cause weight loss? This 72 Hour Slimming Pill review finds 72 Hour Slimming Pill might cause temporary weight loss, but it will keep you on the toilet for at least three days.

You will mostly be losing water weight, so you will see the scale go back up within a few days or weeks of taking 72 Hour Slimming Pill. For real weight loss, go with a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts. Look through our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.

Vitamin B12, Magnesium, Calcium, and Potassium have healthy benefits, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Buchu and Juniper have shown to be a diuretic in mice, but no human studies have been done.

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).

There is no evidence that dandelion or horsetail contribute to weight loss.

Green tea 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.

Guarana 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.

Xpel claims to be better than other diuretics, but if you compare the ingredients, they are exactly the same.

Xpel Cost

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.

Xpel Guarantee

The MHP website (manufacturer of Xpel) states, “All Maximum Human Performance products are covered by a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with your product, simply return it with a brief description of the problem.” This guarantee provides little necessary information. It makes us wonder what the fine print about their guarantee really is.

Xpel Marketing

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’s body.

They claim, “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 ‘plastic wrap’ appearance” (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.

Xpel Conclusion

This Xpel review finds Xpel diet pills are like any other diuretic. They contain only one proven ingredient, and there isn’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.

Ingredients in ThermoLean Diet Pills

120 Capsules
Supplement Facts
Serving Size2Capsules
Servings Per Container60

Amount Per Serving % DV

Citrus Aurantium (6% Synephrine) 340mg **
Green Tea Extract 500mg **
(98% Polyphenols & 45% EGCG)

Caffeine 285mg **
Dandelion 4:1 100mg **
Buchu Extract 4:1 100mg **
Juniper Berry Extract 4:1 100mg **

Is Synephrine effective? One study performed in December of 2007 looked at the lipolysis (fat loss) effects of Satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus unshu Mark) peel on the fat cells of rats (I know, it’s always rats). A high concentration of Synephrine was present in the peel and lipolysis effects were present.

The overall conclusion:

These results suggest that the segment wall, an edible fraction, from Satsuma mandarin orange might be useful as a functional food, especially as a fat-reducing material.

In a 2005 statement issued by Robert E. Brackett, a director at the Food and Drug Administration before the House of Representatives he mentioned that they had found a 4% concentration of Synephrine in citrus aurantium while other times finding a concentration of chemical Synephrine of up to 90%. I suppose if you were just going for weight loss, you’d hope yours had the 90% concentration. ThermoLean contains a 6% concentration of Synephrine.

Green tea has proven to contribute to weight loss when taken at doses of 300 mg per day. Thus, the amount of green tea in ThermoLean is enough to be effective.

Caffeine is another proven ingredient which increases metabolic function. Be sure you know your body’s reaction to caffeine before taking ThermoLean.

The ThermoLean website claims,

“All of Thermo Lean’s ingredients are scientifically proven to be effective. There are no trace amounts of ineffective ingredients that some other brands put on the label to sell their product. Each ingredient serves a synergistic purpose.”

This is somewhat misleading because Dandelion, Buchu extract, and Juniper berry extract have shown to be effective diuretics in mice, but clinical studies have not been done on humans. This ThermoLean review finds Synephrine has proven effective during clinical trials, but the concentration of Synephrine contained in ThermoLean is not enough to be effective.

ThermoLean Price

A bottle of 120 capsules of ThermoLean diet pills costs $19.99. If you take the recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 30 days. This is fairly inexpensive for a diet pill.

ThermoLean Conclusion

This ThermoLean review finds that ThermoLean from Shocker Nutrition does not live up to its bold claims. Yes, it does contain proven ingredients, but they are not all included in proven amounts, and some have only been tested on mice. Green tea and caffeine are great ingredients in weight loss, but you would be better off taking them in a diet pill that includes proven amounts of Synephrine.

Ingredients in ThermoLean Extreme diet pills

Green Tea (98% Polyphenols & 45% EGCG) 500mg **
Caffeine Anhydrous 300mg **
Octopamine 250mg **
Juniper Berry Extract 4:1 250mg **
Dandelion 4:1 250mg **
Buchu Extract 4:1 250mg **
Guggul Lipid Extract (10% Extract Yieling 20mg Guggulsterones) 200mg **
7-OXO (3b-Acetoxyandrost-5-Ene-7, 17-Dione) 100mg **
Coleus Forskohlii (10% Extract Yielding 10mg Forskholin) 100mg **
Magnesium Gluconate 100mg 25%
Vitamin B6 50mg 2,500%
Synephrine (From 6% Citrus Aurantium) 30mg **

Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss when 300 mg are taken per day. The amount of green tea in ThermoLean Extreme diet pills is enough to be effective.

Caffeine has been shown to increase metabolic function and we support it as a diet pill ingredient. Don’t be impressed when they say caffeine anhydrous (here%u2019s why).

Octopamine is closely related to noradrenaline, with effects akin to dopamine. It has become very popular on the internet as a slimming aid because octopamine “may mobilize the release of fat from adipocytes (fat cells).” The catch though, is that the fat released is promptly absorbed by other cells. There is no research to suggest that Octopamine is an effective weight loss agent.

Gugglesterones are supposed to increase thyroid function to promote weight loss. However, studies have had varying results.

One study on coleus forshkohli found, “Oral ingestion of forskolin (250 mg of 10% forskolin extract twice a day) for a 12-week period was shown to favorably alter body composition while concurrently increasing bone mass and serum free testosterone levels in overweight and obese men. The results indicate that forskolin is a possible therapeutic agent for the management and treatment of obesity.”

Is Synephrine effective? One study performed in December of 2007 looked at the lipolysis (fat loss) effects of Satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus unshu Mark) peel on the fat cells of rats (I know, it’s always rats). A high concentration of Synephrine was present in the peel and lipolysis effects were present.

The overall conclusion on Synephrine:

These results suggest that the segment wall, an edible fraction, from Satsuma mandarin orange might be useful as a functional food, especially as a fat-reducing material.

In a 2005 statement issued by Robert E. Brackett, a director at the Food and Drug Administration before the House of Representatives he mentioned that they had found a 4% concentration of Synephrine in citrus aurantium while other times finding a concentration of chemical Synephrine of up to 90%.

I suppose if you were just going for weight loss, you’d hope yours had the 90% concentration. ThermoLean Extreme lists 6% Citrus Aurantium. Given this low concentration, this ThermoLean Extreme review finds the Synephrine contained in this product will most likely not be effective in promoting weight loss.

Cost of ThermoLean Extreme

You can get 120 capsules of ThermoLean Extreme diet pills for $38.99. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. In other words, you will be paying nearly $78 per month! This is extremely expensive, especially considering the only ingredients included in proven amounts are green tea and caffeine.

ThermoLean Extreme Conclusion

This ThermoLean Extreme review likes that ThermoLean Extreme diet pills include green tea and caffeine in proven amounts. However, the remaining ingredients are not impressive.  We’re fairly certain you’ll lose some weight with ThermoLean, but the cost – coupled with some unproven ingredients – knocks ThermoLean down a few notches.
