Iodine (75 mcg)

Chromium (120 mcg)

grape fruit extract 10:1

L-methionine

Yerba matte

Rhodiola rosea

Myo inositol

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate)

Choline bitartrate

L-carnitine-L-tartrate

5-hydroxytryptophan

Alpha lipoic acid (antioxidant)

Uva ursi

Vanadyl nicotinate

Capsicum powder

Ginger

DIM

Sea kelp

This ingredient list is overwhelming. The long and short of it is only tyrosine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Not only that, Slenderful fails to list the amount of tyrosine it contains. To be effective at causing weight loss, tyrosine has to be taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Slenderful contains enough tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.

Slenderful Price

Slenderful diet pills cost $20.67 for 90 capsules (a one month supply). This is actually inexpensive for a diet pill. However, although Slenderful contains a few proven ingredients, they are included in an undisclosed amount, so any amount is too much to pay for Slenderful.

Slenderful Guarantee

The Slenderful website states, “You may return your purchase within 30 days of purchase for a refund or replacement. Just fill out the return section on your order’s packing slip and send it back to us in new condition!” This is their stealthy way of saying you can only return Slenderful if the package is not open. In other words, if you purchase only one package and use the product you can’t get your money back.

Slenderful Conclusion

This Slenderful review finds Slenderful is nothing more than a typical diet pill; it contains only one proven  ingredient in an undisclosed amount. Don’t bother with this product. It does not live up to any of its lofty claims. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.

Size 0 Ingredients

Weight Loss Support Blend 785 mg (Thermogenic/Metabolic Accelerator)

Caffeine Anhydrous is merely dried caffeine. It has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since Size 0 includes caffeine anhydrous in a proprietary blend, there is no way to know if there is enough to be effective.

Green Tea Extract has also been proven to contribute to weight loss. For green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. It is very unlikely that there is enough green tea in Size 0 diet pills to contribute to weight loss.

Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Guarana. Size 0 does not contain Damiana or Guarana.

Green Coffee Bean Extract inhibits weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.

Cordia Salisifolia Extract (Cha de Bugre) Although cordia salisifolia is included in many diet pills, there is no scientific evidence that it actually contributes to weight loss.

Cocoa Extract is a feel-good ingredient; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Taurine is often added to energy drinks, but studies have shown it has no effect on energy levels.

Citrus Naringin

Appetite Support Complex 17 mg (Food Craving Support Nutrients)

Hoodia Gordonii DOES NOT contribute to weight loss, although many diet pill companies claim it does.

Smithin Jojoba Seed Extract

Griffoniosimplicifolia Seed Extract

Beauty Support Blend 11 mg (Hair, Skin and Nails Nutrients)

Horsetail Leaf Extract

Hyaluronic Acid

Collagen, according to many diet pill companies, is supposed to reduce body fat. However, studies have not been able to prove this theory.

Choline is supposed to reduce body fat (according to diet pill companies), but science has not proven it.

Silica

Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. Size 0 does not list how much Inositol it contains.

Biotin is Vitamin B-7; it does not contribute to weight loss.

L-Cyctione

L-Methionine helps break down fats. You should not supplement with Methionine unless your doctor directs you to do so.

Coenzyme Q10

Chamomile Flower Leaf Extract

Estrogen Support Complex 4 mg (Hormonal Balancing Nutrients)

Choste Tree Berry

Daidzen

Dong Quai Root

Vitex Agnus Costus

Don’t be impressed or overwhelmed by the long list of ingredients included in Size 0. It merely means they have put in a VERY small amount of each ingredient. Size 0 does include a few proven ingredients, but odds are there is not enough of any ingredient to contribute to weight loss.

Size 0 Cost

A one month supply of Size 0 diet pills costs $49.95. This is extremely expensive, especially since Size 0 fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to predict how effective Size 0 will be.

Size 0 Guarantee

Size 0 has a 6 month guarantee policy. You can even return open bottles (although if you have used more than half the bottle they will only refund the amount of the unused portion). This seems like a pretty good guarantee.

Size 0 Marketing

The Size 0 website is incomplete. They claim they have made a “scientific breakthrough.” However, under the section titled “Size 0 Science”, there is no information. I would be interested to see what research they cite, since all the research we have seen (which is a considerable amount) says there is no possible way the proven ingredients in Size 0 could have been included in adequate amounts to contribute to weight loss.

It is interesting that Size 0 is enticing people to get back their “sexy, youthful figure” when they use what looks like a teenage model. Do they really expect people to believe they will look like the model if they use Size 0 (because the only way to get your body looking like the model’s is to go back in time)?

Size 0 Conclusion

This Size 0 review finds Size 0 diet pills are nothing out of the ordinary; they include a few proven ingredients, but not in large enough amounts to actually cause weight loss. Don’t waste your time on pills like these. Find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in appropriate amounts.

• “More energy
• Natural weight loss
• Reduced cravings
• Improved muscle tone
• Balanced digestion
• Greater mental focus” (website).

This Cleanse for Life review will explain the untold truths about Cleanse for Life and its manufacturer, Isagenix, to give you the full story behind this product.

Cleanse for Life Ingredients

Sodium (45mg ) is necessary for health, but does not contribute to weight loss.

Potassium (70 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.

Total Carbohydrate 10g

Dietary Fiber (1g ) is very important in health, but it does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Sugars 8 g

Other Carbohydrate 1g

Vitamin B3 (niacin) 8 mg

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 8 mg

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) 30 mcg

Proprietary Blend 100 ml

Aloe Vera Leaf gel is used in many skin care products, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

IsaLyte trace minerals

Pau D’Arco inner bark

Suma root is supposed to keep hormonal balance. There is no proof that it contributes to weight loss.

Eleutherococcus Senticocus root extract is supposed to increase the immune system; it does not contribute to weight loss.

Burdock root

Fennel seed

Peppermint leaf

Licorice root

Choline bitarate is contained in many diet supplements which claim choline reduces body fat, but there is no evidence to back up this claim.

Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. It is used to treat depression and ADD.

Betain HCl

L-Methionine helps breakdown fats and aids in digestion. It is not recommended that you supplement with L-Methionine unless directed by your doctor.

The Truth Behind Cleanse for Life

The Cleanse for Life website (the Isagenix company website) is quite frustrating. There are no prices listed and no guarantee listed either. Of course they do not say how much of each ingredient is included (supposedly because they don’t want anyone stealing their formula).

Well, we contacted Isagenix customer service and here is what we found:

• If you sign up for a yearly membership ($39 per year), you get a discount on Isagenix products.
• Before they will give you the price for a single bottle of Cleanse for Life they try to sell you their “30 Day Cleanse” (which costs $374 without a membership and $260 with one). If that doesn’t work they try to sell you the “9 Day Cleanse” (which costs $174.95 without a membership and $130 with one). These extended day cleanse programs include several products including Cleanse for Life.
• Finally they told me the price on one single bottle of Cleanse for Life. It is $43 without a membership and $32 with one. One bottle of Cleanse for Life lasts 2 days.
• Isagenix employs Multi-Level Marketing tactics, although they do not call them such. In other words, they try to get you to sell Isagenix products and give you a cut of everything you sell. Maybe that is why they don’t list their prices online–you get a different price depending on how much you have sold and who you buy it through.
• Isagenix does have a 30 day money back guarantee. However, they will not refund your membership fee. We like that they will return your money (minus shipping and handling), but we like to see a guarantee of 90 days.

Cleanse for Life Conclusion

This Cleanse for Life review finds that Cleanse for Life seems like nothing more than a scam. It does not contain any proven ingredients, and the marketing is misleading and confusing. If you really want to lose weight, use a diet pill with proven ingredients in proven amounts.

ProShape rx Ingredients

Hoodia Gordonii is a worthless diet pill ingredient. No matter how diet pill companies try to spin it, there is NO clinical evidence to show that hoodia gordonii actually contributes to weight loss.
White Kidney Bean has been proven to decrease the absorption of starch, leading to weight loss. The studies used 1500 mg of white kidney bean every day. ProShape rx fails to disclose how much white kidney bean it contains; however, it is extremely unlikely that ProShape rx contains 1500 mg.
Beet root
White willow is an anti-inflammatory. It is supposed to enhance the thermogenic effect. More research is needed to substantiate this claim.
L-Methionine helps breakdown fats. You should not supplement with L-Methionine unless directed by a doctor.
Fenugreek is often used as a digestive aid. There is no evidence that Fenugreek contributes to weight loss.
Green Tea has been proven to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. Unfortunately, ProShape rx does not list how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this ProShape rx review to determine if there is enough green tea in ProShape rx diet pills to be effective.
Chitosan has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when included in high doses. It would be nearly impossible for ProShape rx to contain enough Chitosan to be effective.

ProShape rx Cost

A one-month supply of ProShape rx diet pills costs $68.95 (with a discount for bulk purchases). This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. Considering the fact that ProShape rx does not list how much of each ingredient is included, any amount of money is too much to pay for ProShape rx.

ProShape rx Guarantee

ProShape rx has a 6 month guarantee. In order to get a refund, you have to use the product for 90 days first. Only unopened bottles are refunded (so you can’t get a refund if you buy one bottle at a time; you can only get a refund after 90 days, so you have to buy at least 3 bottles to get a refund). This is ProShape rx’s way of getting the most money out of you without letting you knowing they are doing it.

ProShape rx “Doctor” Endorsement

The ProShape rx website claims that ProShape rx diet pills are endorsed by a doctor. If you look further, you will see that the “doctor” who endorses ProShape rx is actually a psychologist, not a medical doctor. This is quite a misleading statement.

ProShape rx Conclusion

This ProShape rx review finds that ProShape rx does not live up to its claims. They are really no different from countless other diet pills. The ProShape rx guarantee and marketing are sketchy. Look for a diet pill company that is honest about its product. An effective diet pill contains clinically proven ingredients in proven amounts.
