Irvingia Ingredients

Iodine (10 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.
Integra-Lean Irvingia gabonensis proprietary extract (150 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 3.15 grams per day (see http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1168905).

There is nowhere near enough Integra-Lean Irvingia gabonensis contained in Irvingia diet pills to do anything for weight loss.
Calorie Control Complex:
In-Sea (from kelp and Bladderwrack) (125 mg) is a laxative. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.
TeaSlender Green Tea Phytosome (150 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg per day or more. This means if you take the recommended 2 doses of Irvingia each day, you will get enough green tea to cause weight loss.
Phaseolus Vulgaris white kidney bean extract (445 mg) causes weight loss by decreasing starch absorption. However, studies concluded that Phaseolus Vulgaris must be taken in doses of 1.5 grams per day in order to contribute to weight loss. Therefore, this Irvingia review finds there is not enough Phaseolus Vulgaris contained in Irvingia diet pills to be effective.

Irvingia does contain several proven ingredients. However, only green tea is contained in the necessary amount. You would be better off just buying green tea by itself. It would give you the same results and cost a whole lot less.

Irvingia Cost

For a one month supply of Irvingia, you will pay $78 if you are a nonmember and $58.50 if you are a member of Life Extension, manufacturer of Irvingia. Membership costs $75 per year and includes a magazine, a book, and discounts on products.

This price is ridiculous whether you are paying a membership fee or not. Irvingia is like countless other diet pills out there: it includes a few proven ingredients but not in sufficient amounts.

Irvingia Affiliate Program

Irvingia claims if you sign up for the Affiliate Program you can earn up to 12%. As an Affiliate you recruit people to buy Irvingia and then you earn commission on what they buy.

While we don’t necessarily oppose all diet pills with commission based programs, if the diet pill doesn’t do what it claims to do, as an Affiliate you are causing other consumers to buy the product under false pretenses.

Irvingia Guarantee

Irvingia claims to have a 12 month, money back return policy. They do not give specifics about how this guarantee works (or if there are fees associated with returning the product). Save yourself the hassle of returning this product by not buying it in the first place.

Irvingia Conclusion

Here is the bottom line: you could lose weight by taking Irvingia because it contains green tea. However, none of the other ingredients will do anything for you. This Irvingia review finds Irvingia diet pills are way too expensive. Keep your money in your wallet and still lose weight. Check out our recommended products for weight loss solutions that won’t break your budget.

LipoRid AM Ingredients

The following are the ingredients in LipoRid AM diet pills. Most of them do not contribute to weight loss, but we have explained those that do.
Niacin (20 mg)
Vitamin B6 (10 mg)
Zinc (5 mg)
Selenium (100 mcg)
Copper (0.3 mg)
Manganese (2 mg)
Chromium Picolinate (400 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies so we cannot endorse the inclusion of Chromium Picolinate.
Calcium Pyruvate (1044 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but clinical studies have shown it is only effective when contained in doses of 36 grams per day. This LipoRid AM review finds there is nowhere near enough Calcium Pyruvate in LipoRid AM to cause weight loss.
Bayberry Leaf (125 mg)
Mullion Leaf (125 mg)
Gugglesterone (150 mg) is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.
L-Tyrosine (30 mg) is a great diet pill ingredient, but it has to be included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. There is not enough L-Tyrosine in LipoRid AM to contribute to weight loss.
Panax Ginseng root extract (150 mg)
Kelp powder (220 mg)
Citrus Pectin (200 mg)
Grapefruit Seed extract (200 mg)

LipoRid AM does contain a few proven diet pill ingredients, but they are not included in sufficient amounts.

LipoRid AM Cost

LipoRid AM diet pills cost $21.95 for 33 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 9 capsules per day, one bottle will not even last 4 days. In other words, LipoRid AM will cost you about $180 per month. This is an outrageous amount. There is no reason to believe LipoRid AM will actually cause weight loss, so any amount is too much to pay for it.

LipoRid AM Guarantee

Strictly Health Corporation, manufacturer of LipoRid AM, offers a 30 day guarantee on LipoRid AM. In order to return the product, you have to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) from the customer service department. No opened bottles can be returned.

A 30 day guarantee is pointless. Thirty days is not enough time to determine whether or not a diet pill will work (although the ingredients show LipoRid AM will not cause weight loss). We prefer a 90 day guarantee.

LipoRid AM Conclusion

This LipoRid AM review finds LipoRid AM does contain a few good diet pill ingredients, but not in the necessary amounts. Furthermore, LipoRid AM is WAY too expensive. Do yourself a favor and go with a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts. It will help you shed the pounds while keeping money in your wallet. Check out our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.

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. 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.

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.

Lipoxinol Ingredients

Lipoxinol contains a proprietary blend of the following:

Fiberzide

Glucommanan has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 2-4 grams per day. It is very unlikely that Lipoxinol contains enough glucommanan to be effective in causing weight loss.

Xanthan gum is a food additive. It does not cause weight loss.

Thermazene

Green tea has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Since Lipoxinol fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, it is impossible for this Lipoxinol review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.

Caffeine is another clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Again, Lipoxinol diet pills hide how much caffeine they contain, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.

Forslean has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but since it is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no telling whether or not the amount of Forslean contained in Lipoxinol will cause weight loss.

Vinpocetine helps with age-related memory problems, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Bioperine helps the body absorb nutrients, but it doesn’t necessarily cause weight loss.

Thyroterm

Guggulsterones are supposed to increase thyroid function to cause weight loss. Studies have not proven this, however.

Sclareolide

Kelp is used to thicken foods; it does not cause weight loss.

Lipoxinol Cost

Lipoxinol diet pills cost $34.99 for 140 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 8 per day, 1 bottle will last 17 days. This is extremely expensive. Lipoxinol does contain many proven ingredients, but since they do not say how much of each ingredient is included, it is impossible to predict if Lipoxinol will be effective in contributing to weight loss.

Lipoxinol Guarantee

There is no guarantee for Lipoxinol through their manufacturer, SCI-Core Research. Some websites will allow you to return products for a refund. If you decide to buy Lipoxinol, be sure you know the return policy of the site you are purchasing from because it is likely you will want to return Lipoxinol.

Lipoxinol Conclusion

This Lipoxinol review finds Lipoxinol diet pills contain many clinically proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included (likely because they include very little of each ingredient). We recommend you look for a product that contains these products (plus synephrine) in proven amounts.

Ventilean Ingredients

Vitamin B1 (0.75 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B2 (0.85 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B3 (10 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B12 (12 mcg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.

Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) has healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Proprietary Blend 229 mg

Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but Ventilean fails to list how much caffeine it includes.

Citrus Aurantium 30% Synephrine does contribute to weight loss. When it comes to Synephrine, the higher the concentration the better. Ideally, you would want to see a 90% concentration or even more. Ventilean contains a 30% concentration.

Evodiamine Pure has been proven to cause weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.

Stevia

Yohimbe does cause weight loss, but again Ventilean does not disclose how much Yohimbe it contains. This makes it impossible for this Ventilean review to determine if there is enough Yohimbe in Ventilean to be effective.

Kelp

Vinpocetine helps with age-related memory problems, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. Ventilean does NOT contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this Ventilean review finds the guarana in Ventilean will not be effective in causing weight loss.

Ventilean claims, “Not only are our ingredients unique, and proven effective but you can see that we put quality inside and outside” (website). Don’t be fooled by this claim. The ingredients in Ventilean can be found in dozens of diet products. While Ventilean does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, the amounts of these ingredients are hidden.

C-Amp

Ventilean Cost

Ventilean diet pills cost $59.95 for a 24 day supply. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. While Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients, they hide how much of these ingredients are included (which usually means they put in as little as possible).

Ventilean Guarantee

The Ventilean website is contradictory about their guarantee. In one place it says they give you 30 days to return the product for a full refund. In another place they say the timeframe is 60 days. Both places say unopened bottles can be returned for a full refund (minus shipping and handling).

Ventilean Conclusion

This Ventilean review finds that Ventilean diet pills are really no different from dozens of others. Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients but fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend looking elsewhere for a diet pill. Our recommended products contain proven ingredients in sufficient amounts.

YogaSlender Claims

YogaSlender is supposedly an “Enlightened weight loss solution” (website).

YogaSlender claims it will provide:

“Better Digestion, Metabolism and Body Detoxification
Improved Sleep, Concentration and Memory
Stronger Immune System
Enhanced Weight Control
Better Health”

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

• 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.

YogaSlender Ingredients

Guggul supposedly lead to weight loss through an increase in thyroid function. Research has shown varying results.
Gymnema Sylvestre has been proven to control blood sugar levels. YogaSlender fails to disclose how much gymnema sylvestre it contains.
Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA (hydroxycitric acid), which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Again, YogaSlender hides how much garcinia cambogia it contains, making it impossible for this YogaSlender review to determine if the amount of garcinia cambogia in YogaSlender diet pills is enough to be effective.
Cinnamon is supposed to help control blood sugar, but there is no research to substantiate this.
Dandelion root has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
Triphala
Cayenne Pepper
Clary Sage
Gotu Kola
Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Since YogaSlender does not say how much coleus forskohlii it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough to cause weight loss.
Kelp
Salacia Reticulata
Bitter Melon
Bibitaki
Holy Basil

YogaSlender Cost

YogaSlender diet pills cost $16 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last about a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since YogaSlender does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, any amount is too much to pay for YogaSlender.

YogaSlender Website

The YogaSlender website is very basic. It contains only the most basic information about YogaSlender diet pills. The website says nothing about a guarantee. We emailed YogaSlender to find out if there is a guarantee. They never responded. The website has nothing but an email address for customer service–there is no phone number or mailing address. A company’s customer service says a lot about their product, and YogaSlender obviously does not consider customer service to be a priority.

YogaSlender Conclusion

This YogaSlender review finds YogaSlender is no different from so many other diet pills. It contains a few proven ingredients but fails to list how much of each ingredient is included. The customer service (or lack thereof) makes us really question YogaSlender. Look for a diet pill company with some credibility, one that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Xylestril Ingredients

Xylestril diet pills contain the following ingredients (although they do not list how much of each ingredient is included):

• Chocolate is a mood enhancer, but has not been directly linked to weight loss.
• Green tea is proven to increase metabolic function, leading to weight loss. Xylestril fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Xylestril review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.
• Cinnamon has been used for many years to regulate blood sugar. Unfortunately, there is no research to prove this.
• Soy is supposed to reduce the symptoms of menopause; again, there is no research to substantiate this.
• Ginger root reduces nausea and vomiting.
• Kelp
• L-Tyrosine synthesizes protein, leading to weight loss. However, for L-Tyrosine to be effective, you have to take 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Xylestril contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.
• Dong quai is supposed to balance Estrogen and increase sex drive. There is no research to prove this.
• Damiana, when combined with Guarana and Yerba Mate, has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, Damiana has not been proven on its own.
• Wild Yam
• Avena sativa
• Mother’s wort
• Blessed thistle
• Fennel seed
• Fenugreek
• Magnolia bark
• Elderberry
• Passion Flower promotes restful sleep.
• Raspberries–Raspberry ketones have proven to induce weight loss in mice. However, no human studies have been done.

Only a few of the ingredients in Xylestril diet pills have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Xylestril fails to list how much of each ingredient is included (probably because there is too little of each ingredient to be effective) so it is impossible to know what effect Xylestril will have on weight loss.

Xylestril Cost

Xylestril diet pills $39.99 for 90 capsules (with a discount for buying in bulk). If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last about 22 days. In other words, you will spend about $53 per month on Xylestril. Although this is a fairly average price for a diet pill, it is too much to spend. There is NO evidence that Xylestril will cause weight loss.

Xylestril Guarantee

Xylestril has a 90-day guarantee. We like that they give 90 days, but they only give refunds for unopened bottles. In other words, if you buy only one bottle and it does not work, you cannot return it.

Xylestril Marketing

Xylestril wants you to believe this is a new, spectacular product; it isn’t. There are multiple fat burners out there specifically for women. Xylestril is nothing new and it is not any different from so many other diet pills, despite what their testimonials claim.

Xylestril Conclusion

This Xylestril review finds that Xylestril diet pills are more of the same thing we see over and over–mediocrity. They hide how much of each ingredient is included and make outrageous claims that they could never back up. If you are serious about losing weight, look through our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.

• “Lose Weight
• Have Blemish Free Skin
• Increase Sexual Desire & Sensation
• Increase the Size and Firmness of Your Breasts”

This CurvaTrim review will explore the ins and outs of CurvaTrim and help you determine if this is the product you have been looking for.

CurvaTrim diet pill ingredients

Proprietary Blend 757.5 mg

• Green Tea (50% caffeine)
• Soy Isofavones 40% extract
• Chocamine
• Cinnamon
• Ginger root
• Kelp
• L-Tyrosine
• Dong quai
• Damiana leaves
• Wild yam root
• Avena sativa
• Motherswort
• Blessed thistle
• Fennel seed
• Magnolia bar
• Fenugreek seed
• Elderberry
• Passion flower
• Razberi K

Green tea–this ingredient has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, CurvaTrim includes it in a “Proprietary Blend”; they do not disclose exactly how much green tea is in the formula. Thus, it is impossible for this CurvaTrim review to determine if the amount of green tea contained in CurvaTrim diet pills is enough to be effective.

Chocamine–I’m neutral, leaning positive on this ingredient. Cocoa itself is effective for endurance, but Chocamine’s has such a deluge of ingredients inside it, it’s tough to really zero in on effectiveness.

Cinnamon–it has been used for years to help regulate blood sugar. Does it directly help you lose weight? That question still remains. With little to no research supporting it, the jury is still out on cinnamon’s efficacy.

Damiana–When combined with yerba mate and guarana, damiana has been shown to be effective in promoting weight loss. However, on its own damiana has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Razberi K–Studies show raspberry ketones induced weight loss in mice with a diet containing 2% of the total diet as raspberry ketones. No studies have been done on humans. Note: in order to take in 2% of raspberry ketones as your total diet you would have to take a ton of these CurvaTrim diet pills. Once again, Methyl Ripped does not disclose how much of this ingredient is included. This makes it impossible to determine whether or not the amount of raspberry ketones in CurvaTrim is enough to be effective in promoting weight loss. ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604))

CurvaTrim Guarantee

The CurvaTrim policy is as follows: “Return your one empty bottle (we want you to use all of our fine product) within 60 days of purchase plus all other bottles purchased in undamaged, unopened, and resalable condition for a prompt refund less s&h.” (website)

CurvaTrim and the breast enhancement pill controversy

Breast enhancement pills are controversial. One company, Bloussant, was sued by the FTC for false claims. ((http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/07/wellquest.shtm))
While CurvaTrim claims it will help with breast enhancement, none of the ingredients in CurvaTrim diet pills have been proven to contribute to breast enhancement. This shouldn’t be too surprising–why would so many people opt for surgery if you could get the same results from a pill?

How much does CurvaTrim cost?

You can get 90 capsules of CurvaTrim diet pills for $39.99. If you take the recommended dose of 4 capsules per day, it will cost over $53 per month. This is very expensive for a product that hides how much of each ingredient is included and has lofty, unsubstantiated claims.

CurvaTrim Conclusion

This CurvaTrim review finds CurvaTrim is a mediocre product. It includes ingredients in undisclosed amounts. There is no scientific evidence to prove the ingredients in CurvaTrim diet pills will lead to breast enhancement. Spend your money on a diet pill that actually works–one that uses proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Thincinerator is “The Strongest Female Fat Burner Clinically Proven To Cut Body Fat on Women!” (Thincinerator website). Thincinerator diet pills will, according to the official website, “Burn up to 873 calories with every serving!” This Thincinerator review will determine if there is any validity to these claims and whether or not Thincinerator actually works.

What is in Thincinerator?

Here is a list of the ingredients contained in one serving (one capsule) of Thincinerator:

• Green Tea (50% Caffeine) 200 mg
• Caffeine Anhydrous 100 mg
• Dicaffeine Malate 100 mg
• Xanthinol Nicotinate 50 mg
• Cayenne standardized to 1% capsacain 50 mg
• Ginger 20% gingerols 50 mg
• Kelp 30 mg
• Rasberry Ketones 30 mg
• Synephrine HCl 30 mg
• Guggul EZ100 20 mg
• Bioperine 5 mg

Green tea has been proven to be an effective contributor to weight loss. Participants in a green tea study were given 300 mg of green tea per day. These participants experienced substantial weight loss.

Caffeine Anhydrous–studies have shown that caffeine does increase metabolic function, which can lead to weight loss.

Dicaffeine Malate–Many claim this is the equivalent of Ephedra–it isn’t. There is no research to prove it. Without any research, what we do know is that it contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase metabolic function.

Studies show raspberry ketones induced weight loss in mice with a diet containing 2% of the total diet as raspberry ketones. No studies have been done on humans. Note: in order to take in 2% of raspberry ketones as your total diet you would have to take a ton of these Thincinerator diet pills. ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604))

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 lipoloysis 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 ((J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2008 Dec;53(6):547-51.)).

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. Thincinerator does not reveal the concentration of the Synephrine it contains. That’s not to say they don’t have 90% concentration, we’re only highlighting the fact that we don’t know what the concentration is.

Bioperine is an extract from the fruit Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Both of these contain the active ingredient that you’re looking for: Piperine. They call it a “thermonutrient” because it “enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity.” I don’t know if the ability to absorb more nutrients will directly translate into lost weight, but the added health benefits of Bioperine should not be overlooked.

What are the side effects of Thincinerator diet pills?

The side effects of Thincinerator include jitters, headaches, and sleeplessness. These side effects are due to the high caffeine content. As with any diet pill, consider your personal reaction to caffeine before taking Thincinerator. Some report great results using weight loss pills high in caffeine concentration, while others stay up at night. Start slowly and gauge your tolerance.

What does the research say about Thincinerator?

Although the Thincinerator website alludes to several clinical studies proving the effectiveness of Thincinerator diet pills, there has not been a study done specifically on Thincinerator itself (this is rare in the diet pill industry — to have a study done on an actual product — the reason? It can cost in the six figures to have one done). Studies have been done on several of the ingredients. These studies have found green tea, caffeine, and synephrine to be effective ingredients in diet pills.

The Thincinerator website lists the following benefits:

• Thincinerator is clinically proven to burn 5.8x the calories during exercises.
• Ingredients clinically proven to increase metabolism by 28% and cut body fat by 10%
• Drop pounds with Green Tea: Shown in research to decrease body fat by 8%!

How much does Thincinerator cost?

One bottle of 60 capsules of Thincinerator costs $49.99. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, Thincinerator will cost you about $2.50 per day, or $75 per month (the cost per day goes down as you buy more in quantity). This is a bit on the high side, but is palpable if you consider that Thincinerator is actually disclosing the amounts of ingredients they’re using, and that those ingredients are effective.

Does Thincinerator have a Satisfaction Guarantee?

Thincinerator offers a lifetime money back guarantee (minus shipping). You have to send back your empty bottle (and any other bottles “in resaleable condition”) and your money will be returned “without questions!” This is an unbelievably generous moneyback guarantee. I’ve only seen it with a few other products (coincidentally, those products have also risen very quickly in popularity, one of them being Lipovox).

Thincinerator Review Conclusion

This Thincinerator review finds that Thincinerator does contain several proven ingredients. It also contains ingredients that lack any clinical support, but we usually let those go if there is enough effective ingredient for the diet pill to do its job. While we like the inclusion of green tea, the amount of caffeine in this product is high so we would advise you to proceed with caution and gauge your body’s tolerance.

As long as you take this product knowing your body’s reaction to caffeine, you should be safe taking it. We do not doubt this product can cause weight loss.

Anadrox does contain several ingredients which have been clinically proven to contribute to weight loss at specific levels. However, like so many other diet pills, Anadrox fails to disclose how much of these ingredients are included. Thus, it is impossible to determine the effectiveness of Anadrox. This Anadrox review will explain just what this product includes and how it might affect you.

What are the ingredients in Anadrox?

The following ingredients are contained in one serving (4 capsules) of Anadrox diet pills

• Vitamin C (mg) 60
• Niacin (mg) 20
• Vitamin B6 (mg) 5
• Folate (mcg) 200
• Vitamin B12 (mcg) 250
• Copper (mg) 1
• Magnesium (mg) 1
• Chromium (mcg) 50
• *VasoTherm Pump mg 2638

*The Pump mg 1941
*The Burn mg 696

Ingredient Details:
The Pump – NitroFolin: (l-arginine HCl, citrulline malate, l-tyrosine, vanadyl sulfate, choline dihydrogen citrate, banaba leaf extract, n-acetylcysteine, taurine, NADH)

The Burn – Thermo Z7: Norephrine, Beta Agonist & Glyceral-3 CyInhibitors: (Advantra Z, 7-KETO, DL-Phenylalanine, kelp, guggulsterones E and Z) Purine Nucleoside & Phosphate dehydrogenase Inhibitors: (green tea and guarana seed extracts (providing 45mg EGCG and 200mg caffeine, theophylline & theobromine)…

Nitric oxide has been proven to contribute to weight loss. As you will note in this Anadrox review, the amount of nitric oxide in each serving is not disclosed.

7-KETO is a naturally occurring metabolite (metabolites break things down for use in the body) of the hormon dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA serves as a precursor for the sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Studies have shown that 7-Keto is successful in promoting weight loss. There are no long-term studies available to show 7-KETO’s affect on humans. Some have concerns that it may cause heart palpitations. Others have even suggested maximum dosages of 5mg. Once again, Anadrox fails to disclose how much 7-Keto is contained in the product, leaving it impossible for this Anadrox review to determine whether the amount of 7-Keto is beneficial or even harmful.

Green tea is an ingredient that has been proven to contribute to weight loss. It is one of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Again, Anadrox diet pills fail to disclose how much green tea is contained in the product.

L-tyrosine has proven to contribute to the ability to work out more effectively and burn more calories. You guessed it–the amount of L-tyrosine in Anadrox is not disclosed.

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

Guarana has proven results, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana (both of which are not present in the

How much does Anadrox cost?

One bottle of Anadrox diet pills will cost you $41.99. One bottle contains 112 caplets. With the recommended dose of 8 caplets per day, one bottle will last 14 days. That is nearly $3 per day! This is extremely expensive. (Note: if you do want to try Anadrox, purchasing Anadrox through Bodybuilding.com gets you 224 caplets for $48.)

What are the side effects of Anadrox?

The side effects of Anadrox diet pills include increased heart rate, shortness of breath, nausea, diarrhea, and weakness.

Anadrox Review Conclusion

This Anadrox review has found that Anadrox does include several proven weight loss ingredients. However, they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. It could be a good product, but there is no way to be sure. Anadrox is extremely expensive. Save yourself money and possible disappointment by using a diet pill that is proven to work.
