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.

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.

Cuts II Ingredients

L-Carnitine (550mg) does not cause weight loss.

Lecithin (500mg)

Choline (500mg) is supposed to reduce body fat, but studies have yet to prove this.

Inositol (500mg) transports fat from the liver.

Methionine (200mg) helps break down fats. However, it has some dangerous side effects, so you should not supplement with Methionine unless directed to do so by your doctor.

Vitamin B6 (40mg) has healthy benefits, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Linoleic Acid (100mg) does not cause weight loss.

Oleic Acid (50 mg)

Parsley (200mg)

Potassium Gluconate (200mg)

Chlorophyll (2000mcg)

Grapefruit Powder (100mg)

Chromium Picolinate (100mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.

Natural Herb Blend (600mg)

Uva Ursi has been shown to have dangerous interactions when combined with diuretics (like Buchu and Juniper). You will notice Cuts II diet pills contain both Buchu and Juniper.

Buchu

Doggrass

Cornsilk

Hydrangea Root

Juniper Berries

This Cuts II review finds Cuts II contains nothing that will give you the weight loss results you are looking for. Find a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.

Cuts II Cost

Cuts II diet pills cost $12.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle of Cuts II will last 20 days. This is fairly inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since it won’t give you good results, it is still too expensive.

Cuts II Guarantee (or lack thereof)

Cuts II is manufactured by Prolab. The Prolab website says they have great quality and take pride in it, but they do not guarantee their products. Any company that does not guarantee their products is suspect.

Cuts II Marketing

The Prolab website is packed with pictures of rippling muscles and hard bodies. Don’t expect to look anything like these pictures just by taking Cuts II; you will be sorely disappointed.

Cuts II Conclusion

This Cuts II review finds Cuts II is a subpar product. It contains NOTHING that will contribute to weight loss. Look through our recommended products to find one that will work for you.

• “Help accelerate calorie burning with diet & exercise

• Increase metabolic rate

• Control appetite and boost energy” (website).

While SlimBody XP makes bold claims, they fail to back them up. They include proven ingredients in a proprietary blend, hiding how much of each ingredient is included.

SlimBody XP Ingredients

Vitamin E (6IU) is good for overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Magnesium (75 mg) has healthy benefits, but it does not cause weight loss.

Zinc (6 mg) is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Chromium Picolinate (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have found chromium contributes to weight loss while other studies have shown it does not.

SlimBody XP Proprietary Blend

Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. SlimBody XP does contain Damiana, but it does not contain Yerba Mate. Thus, this SlimBody XP review finds the Guarana in SlimBody XP will not contribute to weight loss.

Bee Pollen does not contribute to weight loss.

Korean Ginseng has not been shown to cause weight loss in humans.

Ginger Root is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.

Lecithin supposedly breaks down fat. However, research does not back these claims.

Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. This makes it impossible for this SlimBody XP review to determine if there is enough caffeine in SlimBody XP diet pills to contribute to weight loss.

Bitter Orange contains Synephrine, a clinically proven ingredient. The most important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration. The higher the concentration of Synephrine the more effective it is in contributing to weight loss. Again, SlimBody XP fails to disclose the concentration of Synephrine contained.

Green Tea is another proven ingredient. Since green tea is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no way of knowing if there is enough contained in SlimBody XP diet pills to cause weight loss.

Cayenne Pepper improves digestion. More research is needed to determine the effect of Cayenne on weight loss.

Damiana causes weight loss when combined with Guarana and Yerba Mate. SlimBody XP contains Guarana but not Yerba Mate.

Sasparilla Leaf

Goldenseal Leaf

Nettles Leaf

Gotu Kols

Spirulina

Royal Jelly

SlimBody XP Cost

SlimBody XP diet pills cost $39.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. Since SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much of the proven ingredients are included, any amount is too much to pay for SlimBody XP.

SlimBody XP Guarantee

SlimBody XP offers a 30 day guarantee. They give a full refund or 150% product credit for returns. Be sure you will need the guarantee if you buy SlimBody XP.

SlimBody XP Conclusion

This SlimBody XP review finds SlimBody XP is not worth your time or money. It is typical of so many diet pills; SlimBody XP hides the amount of proven ingredients included, most likely because they include very small amounts of each ingredient. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

Colvera Ingredients

Collagen Hydrolysate (Protein) is an ingredient used commonly by diet pill companies who claim collagen will reduce body fat. There is no research to back up these claims.
Aloe Vera is sometimes used as a mild laxative. It helps in colon cleansing. However, it has not been
proven to directly contribute to weight loss.
Lecithin is supposed to break down fat and flush it out; there is no evidence to prove this.
Safflower Oil helps to regulate body functions by building prostaglandins. It does not contribute to weight loss.
Beeswax is used for the coating of the capsules. It does not contribute to weight loss.
Water
Gelatin, like Collagen, is supposed to reduce body fat and fine lines. Once again, there is no scientific evidence to prove these claims.
Glycerin is added for flavor. However, it does not contribute to weight loss.

You will notice that NONE of the ingredients in Colvera diet pills have been proven to be effective
in contributing to weight loss. On a more positive note, the ingredients in Colvera are all-natural. Too bad they fail to list how much of each ingredient they include.

Colvera Cost

Colvera diet pills cost $49.95 for a one month supply (with a discount for buying in bulk). Each bottle contains 90 capsules.

Colvera–No Guarantee

The Colvera website states, “No legitimate company can guarantee that their product will work for everyone. We do, however, guarantee that if you don’t take the product, you won’t lose the weight!”
This statement is ridiculous! Beware of any company that is unwilling to back up their own product. It should make you suspect of the product.

How to Take Colvera

According to the Colvera website, “You simply take 3 capsules before you go to bed on an empty stomach. This process allows Colvera™ to work more efficiently during the first 45 to 90 minutes of sleep while the body uses the available collagen and other vital nutrients during this time.”
Anyone who has tried dieting knows the biggest secret is avoiding evening and night snacking. So, going to bed on an empty stomach will help whether you take anything
or not. If you experience weight loss while taking Colvera diet pills, it is most likely because you are going to bed on an empty stomach and not because of Colvera.

Colvera Claims

Colvera wants you to believe they have a superior product because they do not include caffeine or stimulants. They claim, “Colvera™ is a natural Collagen Protein Formula, which works as a nutritional supplement that safely and naturally assists the body in shedding extra body fat, sugar, and toxins. What they don’t tell you is that none of the ingredients in Colvera have been proven o contribute to weight loss.

Colvera Conclusion

This Colvera review finds that Colvera will do nothing to help you lose weight. There is NO clinical
evidence showing that any of the ingredients in Colvera contribute to weight loss. If you are really
serious about losing weight, read through our recommended products to find one that includes
proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.

Calogel Ingredients

Calogel diet pills contain the following ingredients:

Collagen
Lecithin
Aloe Vera
Safflower Oil
Beeswax

Many diet pill companies claim collagen reduces body fat and erases fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately, clinical research has not been able to substantiate this claim; collagen has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Lecithin is supposed to break down fat and flush it out of the body. Once again, Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Aloe Vera is known for its healthy benefits. It is sometimes used as a mild laxative. The use of Aloe Vera for weight loss is mainly for colon cleansing.

Safflower Oil helps to regulate body functions by providing the material to build prostaglandins.

Beeswax is used for the casing of the Calogel gelcaps. Beeswax does not contribute to weight loss.

Calogel AM & PM Formulas–What is the difference?

Calogel has two formulas, the AM Formula and the PM Formula. There is NO difference in the ingredients contained in the two formulas. Since Calogel does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to determine if there is any difference in these two formulas. The only differentiation made between the AM and PM formulas is how they are taken.

The directions for the AM Formula are as follows:
“Take 3 gelcaps in the morning as soon as you get up and do not eat for one hour” (website).

The directions for the PM Formula are:
“You simply take 3 capsules before you go to bed on an empty stomach. This process allows Calogel™ to work more efficiently during the first 45 to 90 minutes of sleep while the body uses the available collagen and other vital nutrients during this time” (website).

You will notice that the basic direction for both formulas is not to eat when taking the diet pill. So, if you are seeing results from taking Calogel it is most likely because you are not eating right after waking up and you are going to bed with an empty stomach. There is NO evidence to show Calogel will cause weight loss; NONE of the ingredients in Calogel have been proven to directly cause weight loss.

Calogel–No Guarantee

The Calogel website states, “We do not offer returns or guarantees simply because we can not be with each person to make sure it is taken properly and taken each day. We do, however, guarantee that if you don’t take the product, you won’t lose the weight!. Remember Calogel has nearly a 90% success rate when used correctly” (website).

It is really unusual for a diet pill company not to have some sort of a guarantee. Any company that fails to back up their product is not worth buying from.

Calogel Cost

Calogel diet pills cost $98 for a combo pack including both the AM and PM formulas. This combo pack lasts one month. This Calogel review finds that this is much too expensive for Calogel diet pills. There is no proof that Calogel contributes to weight loss; don’t waste your money on it.

Calogel Conclusion

This Calogel review finds that Calogel may improve your fine lines and wrinkles, but it will not cause weight loss. There are no proven ingredients contained in Calogel diet pills. Save yourself some grief and look for a product with proven ingredients in proven amounts.

What are the ingredients in the Pink Patch?

The Pink Patch contains a “Proprietary Formula” of the following ingredients:

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract
5-HTP
Guarana
Zinc Pyruvate
Yerba Mate
Flaxseed Oil
Lecithin
L-Carnitine

Fucus Vesiculosus, also known as brown algae, is added because of its iodine, which improves thyroid performance, helping to increase energy. No studies have been done on how fucus vesiculosus contributes to human weight loss.

Yerba mate contains mainly caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. These ingredients supposedly promote central nervous stimulation and help the body to shed water as well as suppress appetite. Additionally, caffeine, theophylline and theobromine appear to suppress appetite, and boost metabolism.

However, there is not adequate research to support this. When you combine Yerba Mate with Guarana and Damiana, the effect is great — as shown by some interesting research. The Pink Patch does contain Guarana but not Damiana, unfortunately.

5-HTP is an amino acid, a precursor to serotonin (serotonin modulates anger, aggression, body temperature, mood, and appetite, among other things). The main purpose for 5-HTP to be included in a diet pill is for its mood enhancing effects. Much of the excessive calorie consumption causing obesity is due to mood-induced eating.

Lecithin is supposed to help to break down fat and flush it out of the body. Research does not support this claim. Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Carnitine is an amino acid which helps break down fats. Although Carnitine is included in many weight loss supplements, there is no clinical evidence that it contributes to weight loss.

You will note the Pink Patch includes ingredients which have not been proven to promote weight loss. They also do not tell you how much of each ingredient is included. This Pink Patch review finds that these two points combined make it quite clear that this is not an effective weight loss product.

The effectiveness of a patch in general

You’ll note that we like caffeine as it relates to diet pills — also 5-HTP is useful to varying degrees; but any research done on any of these ingredients was not done with the delivery method being via a patch — so it all basically goes out the window.

The patch approach by diet pill companies is basically a way to spin things so the appeal is in how “easy” using the supplement is. Unfortunately, they can’t sell it on how “effective” it is, because then it would never sell.

What are the side effects of the Pink Patch?

Side effects include headache, dizziness, and nausea.

Does the Pink Patch have a guarantee?

The Pink Patch has a money-back guarantee within 30 days of placing your order. You have to send your USED and unused portions. According to the Pink Patch website, you should receive your refund (minus shipping and handling) in 10-15 days from when the product is received by the company.

How much does the Pink Patch cost?

The Pink Patch costs $49.95 for a one month supply.

The Pink Patch Review Conclusion

This Pink Patch review finds this weight loss method is misleading and ineffective. The ingredients included are not proven to be effective in promoting weight loss, nor do they disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Don’t be fooled–weight loss will not come from a sticker–at least not this one.

Ultra 90’s Ingredients

Marine Collagen Protein & Gelatin—Many diet pill companies claim collagen gelatin helps reduce body fat and erases fine lines and wrinkles. However, research has not shown any significant weight loss due to this ingredient.

Aloe Vera’s health benefits are uncontested and it’s used as a mild laxative with moderate success. The use of Aloe Vera for weight loss is mainly for colon cleansing.

Vitamin C has healthy benefits but does not contribute to weight loss

Safflower Oil provides the material to build prostaglandins, which help to regulate body functions

Glycerin is added to Ultra 90 for flavor; it does not contribute to weight loss

Bees Wax is used as the casing for the Ultra 90 capsules; it does not aid in weight loss

Lecithin, according to Ultra 90, helps to break down fat and flush it out of the body. Research does not support this claim. Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Ultra 90 does not disclose how much of each ingredient is contained in each capsule.

On a positive note, Ultra 90 does not contain any stimulants such as caffeine (see our review of caffeine here, it’s actually quite effective for weight loss), ephedrine, or amphetamines, which may be important if your body is sensitive to these types of ingredients. The ingredients are all natural and there are no known side effects.

Ultra 90’s Claims are Unfounded

Ultra 90 claims that the combination of these ingredients will bring weight loss, increased muscle, and decreased fine lines and wrinkles. Research does not support any of these claims. In fact, collagen protein is one of the main ingredients in Jell-O. Maybe you should save yourself some money and eat Jell-O instead; it would have the same effect.

Ultra 90’s Gimmicky AM/PM Formulations

Unlike some other diet pills, Ultra 90 gives you the option of an AM and a PM formula. They contain the same ingredients. For the AM formula, take three capsules first thing in the morning and don’t eat for at least an hour. For the PM formula, stop eating and drinking three hours before bed, then take three capsules with water and go to bed. Well, the those three hours before bed are considered to be the most likely snack time of the day.

In reality, Ultra 90 is just reducing your calories by keeping you from eating during the evening hours. In order to trick customers out of even more money, the Ultra 90 website recommends taking both the AM and PM formulas to expedite and increase weight loss. To reiterate — the AM and PM formulations are the exact same. This is just a marketing trick akin to Leoptoprin and Leptopril (whose maker/marketer we openly despise).

Ultra 90 Does Not Offer a Moneyback Guarantee

And for good reason. If they did, they’d have a lot of people taking them up on it. They claim that they don’t accept returns because their product is perishable. That’s funny (in a sarcastic, amused sort of way), because there are plenty of upstanding companies that will accept returns on perishable goods. We find the fact that there is no guarantee to be very disturbing — especially when combined with the fact that not one of their ingredients has been proven to aid in weight loss to any significant degree.

Ultra 90 Review in Conclusion

This product is misleading to consumers. Ultra 90 claims the product does not trick the body into weight loss, but in fact, the product does not yield significant weight loss in itself. If Ultra 90 users are seeing weight loss it is likely due to the decrease in calories because they are not eating during the hours of taking the supplement. Few, if any, of the claims made by Ultra 90 have been proven. The product is expensive, especially considering taking both the AM and PM formulas together is recommended, making the supplements twice as expensive to take. This product is like any other collagen protein product–spend your money somewhere else.
