MeltRX 24 Ultra Review

Susan — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:08:45 +0000

MeltRX 24 Ultra is a diet pill that claims to be a “phenomenal fat loss pill.” This MeltRX 24 Ultra review will give you the truth behind the possible dangers associated with MeltRX 24 Ultra to show you that this is not the diet pill choice for you.

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.

Leptorexin Review

cgurr — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 17:59:39 +0000

Leptorexin bases their ingredient profile on 6 different health areas: Fat Burning, Euphoric, Superfood, Anti-aging, Cellular Detox, Lean Muscle, and Key Vitamins. As such, their ingredient list is quite lengthy. They claim to provide “Visual results within 72 hours!” That’s quite a claim. They do, however, back it up with one of the best guarantees in the industry.

This Leptorexin review will look into their ingredients to see if it is all that they claim.

Leptorexin’s ingredient profile contains both quality, proven ingredients as well as some that aren’t likely to do much. Often when we see a long list of ingredients such as this our first reaction is to assume that they aren’t able to fit enough of each ingredient in the pill to be effective. With Leptorexin, however, this may or may not be the case. They use proprietary blends, which is a big turnoff. But the amounts of those blends (or at least a couple of the blends) appears to possibly be sufficient to be effective. With all proprietary blends, however, it’s extremely difficult to give a solid answer as to its probable effectiveness.

Leptorexin Marketing

The first that we noticed is that Leptorexin looked incredibly familiar. Well if you look at PatenTrim, you may feel the same way. It looks like Leptorexin has copied many of the design features of PatenTrim. I’m not sure what exactly their strategy was for such a move, but it’s possible that they are trying to borrow from some of PatenTrim’s credibility.

Aside from that, the website is quite open about the ingredients (although they do use proprietary blends) and has some basic details about most of them. We like that. They do, however, use the overly abused TV logos, trying to make you think that they’ve been featured on them. That’s highly unlikely.

The Leptorexin Guarantee

They have a 100% lifetime money back guarantee. You can only return unopened bottles, but this is still much better than almost all of the other guarantees out there.

Leptorexin Cost

For one bottle it’s $59.99.

Leptorexin Conclusion

The ingredient profile in Leptorexin contains a myriad of ingredients. Some are good, some are mediocre. We like their great guarantee and if the pill is effective, the price isn’t too bad. It’s always hard to fully recommend something that uses proprietary blends, so Leptorexin gets a pretty average review. There may be better solutions out there, but it is likely to help you lose weight.

BioSculpt Review

Susan — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 20:21:43 +0000

BioSculpt is a nighttime formula diet supplement. It claims to be “The world’s best-most powerful 3 in 1 formula” (website). Unfortunately, they never explain what the 3 in 1 is…The BioSculpt website claims BioSculpt does the following:

Promotes weight loss
Supports appetite reduction
Helps with lean muscle development
Helps shorten workout recovery time
Enhances body’s ability to rejuvenate
Promotes better sleep, increased energy and stamina
Collagen protein places the body’s metabolism in an optimal state to burn fat.

This BioSculpt review will examine the ingredients contained in BioSculpt as well as the marketing techinques of BioSculpt to help you see just what you can expect from BioSculpt.

BioSculpt Ingredients

Protein 4g
Vitamin B5 60mg
Vitamin B6 4mg
Hydrolyzed Collagen 3000mg

BioSculpt™ Blend 7650mg:

Aloe Vera Gel
Potassium Pyruvate
CLA
L-Carnitine

Proprietary Blend 1000mg:

L-Alanine
L-Lysine
L-Proline
L-Glutamine
L-Leucine
Hydroxyproline
Dimethyl Glycine

Protein, Vitamin B5, and Vitamin B6 have healthy benefits, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Despite what many diet supplement companies claim, there is NO scientific research to prove that collagen contributes to weight loss.

CLA has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, BioSculpt fails to reveal how much CLA it contains, making it impossible for this BioSculpt review to determine if there is enough CLA in BioSculpt to contribute to weight loss.

L-Carnitine supposedly helps to break down fats. There is no scientific research to back up this claim.

L-Glutamine has many healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

The directions for taking BioSculpt are as follows:

“Take Biosculpt once daily on an empty stomach, usually three hours after the last meal. One ounce should be taken each evening” (website). Most dieters would agree that their most likely time to snack is in the evening, so of course you are going to lose weight if you don’t eat anything for at least three hours after dinner. If you see any weight loss when taking BioSculpt it is probably from eliminating your evening snacking.

BioSculpt Cost

BioSculpt costs $31.96 for a one month supply (which, according to their website is 20% off). This BioSculpt review finds this is way too expensive for BioSculpt. The only proven ingredient in BioSculpt is CLA, and the amount is undisclosed.

BioSculpt Guarantee

BioSculpt offers a 30 day money back guarantee, with the refund coming within 10 business days. We like the money back guarantee, but 30 days simply isn’t long enough to determine if a product works (although since BioSculpt contains only one proven ingredient in an undisclosed amount it is unlikely that it will work).

BioSculpt Marketing

The BioSculpt website specifically says BioSculpt is a nighttime formula. They urge you to take it with their daytime formula, ThermoSculpt. This is just another way to get more money out of you.

BioSculpt has the typical fake-looking before and after photos and testimonials. Don’t give these photos or testimonials any weight; they probably aren’t real anyway.

BioSculpt Conclusion

This BioSculpt review finds BioSculpt is just another typical diet supplement. It contains only ONE proven ingredient and doesn’t even say how much of it is included. BioSculpt is too expensive to gamble on. Instead, try a diet pill which has proven itself.
