Guarana contains caffeine, which has been proven to increase metabolism.
Synephrine can be found in the citrus aurantium fruit, also known as bitter orange.

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.
Punicic acid is derived from pomegranate seed oil. It has been proven to help eliminate fat cells (see the study abstract here). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12396127

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 Ghreleptin diet pills.

Garlic does help regulate blood sugar levels, which can aid in weight loss.

This Ghreleptin review has found the ingredients in Ghreleptin can contribute to weight loss if they are used in the appropriate amounts. However, Ghreleptin fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included in the diet pills. This makes it virtually impossible to know whether the amounts are sufficient to produce positive results.

How much does Ghreleptin cost?

One bottle of Ghreleptin (120 capsules) will cost you $29.95. If you take the recommended maximum dose of 8 per day, one bottle will last 15 days. That makes Ghreleptin $2 per day. This is very expensive, especially for a product that does not provide adequate information about ingredient amounts.

Does Ghreleptin have a money back guarantee?

This is a good question. Ghreleptin can be purchased only from their official website. The website is very basic and provides extremely limited information. There are break-off websites with addresses similar to Ghreleptin. These websites have the same look of the official website, but they are run by individuals. The break-off websites claim there is a money back guarantee, but the official website has no such information.

What are the side effects of Ghreleptin?

The side effects of Ghreleptin include increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.

Ghreleptin conclusion

Ghreleptin diet pills are all hype. They have a lengthy list of ingredients. Some of these ingredients actually can contribute to weight loss. However, this Ghreleptin review finds that due to the undisclosed ingredient amounts, we cannot determine how effective this product is. We recommend using a diet pill that has been proven to be effective.

MaxxTrim Ingredients

Proprietary Blend 200 mg

Thermo-Rx/Acacia Rigidula is contained in many diet pills, but it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Theobrome Cocoa Extract is a mood enhancer. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.

Yohimbe Bark causes fatty acid mobilization, leading to weight loss. Unfortunately, MaxxTrim diet pills do not list how much yohimbe they contain.

Caffeine (200 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Bitter Orange Extract (40 mg) contains Synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. More important than the amount of synephrine is the concentration contained–the higher the concentration the better. Unfortunately, MaxxTrim does not reveal the concentration of synephrine contained.

Green Tea (50 mg) is another clinically proven diet pill ingredient. However, studies have found green tea is only effective when included in amounts of at least 300 mg per day. This MaxxTrim review finds there is not enough green tea in MaxxTrim diet pills to be effective.

Ginger Root Powder (40 mg) calms the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.

Cayenne Powder 20 mg

Bladderwrak Powder 40 mg

Mustard Seed Powder 20 mg

White Willow Bark Powder (60 mg) is an anti-inflammatory; it does not contribute to weight loss.

MaxxTrim Cost

MaxxTrim costs $54.95 for 30 day supply.  When you purchase MaxxTrim diet pills from the MaxxTrim website, you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship you more pills each month and charge your credit card).

MaxxTrim Guarantee

MaxxTrim gives refunds only on unopened bottles and only within 30 days of purchase. So, if you only order one bottle and it doesn’t work for you, you can’t get your money back. We do not like the unopened bottles only policy, nor do we like that MaxxTrim only gives you 30 days to return the product.

MaxxTrim Marketing

The MaxxTrim website makes some bold claims about MaxxTrim being better than any other product. When you look at the ingredients, you realize the only ingredient contained in a sufficient amount is caffeine. Thus, MaxxTrim is really no different from numerous other diet pills out there. Don’t be fooled by MaxxTrim’s outrageous claims; you will only be disappointed.

MaxxTrim Conclusion

This MaxxTrim review finds there is no difference between MaxxTrim and dozens of other diet pills out there. It contains several proven ingredients, but not in sufficient amounts to cause weight loss. Look for a diet pill which contains enough of each proven ingredient.

“Eliminates up to 1000 calories per day
Boosts your energy levels
Curbs your cravings” (website). This Nitetrim review will detail the ingredients in Nitetrim as well as reveal the inconsistencies in Nitetrim’s marketing to help you determine if Nitetrim diet pills are right for you.

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.

Nitetrim Ingredients

Vitamin C 5 mg
Chromium Picolinate 30 mcg
Proprietary Blend 500 mg
Hoodia Gordonii
Apple Cider Vinegar
Garcinia Cambogia
Ginger Root
Cayenne
Bladderwrack
Bromelain
Mustard Seed

Vitamin C has many healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Some studies have shown Chromium Picolinate contributes to weight loss. However, other studies have found the opposite. We cannot back Chromium until more conclusive research is done.

Hoodia Gordonii is a popular diet pill ingredient. Despite all the hype, there is NO clinical evidence showing hoodia actually contributes to weight loss. Don’t be fooled by the endorsements of celebrities; hoodia will not help you lose weight.

Apple cider vinegar is used as a home remedy to treat various conditions; however, there is no evidence to show apple cider vinegar contributes to weight loss.

Garcinia cambogia contains Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Nitetrim fails to disclose how much garcinia cambogia it contains, making it impossible for this Nitetrim review to determine if there is enough garcinia cambogia included to be effective.

Ginger root is used to calm the stomach, as it reduces stomach acid. It does not contribute to weight loss.

Bladderwrack is used as a laxative. There is no evidence that Bladderwrack directly contributes to weight loss.

Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory. There is no research to suggest Bromelain contributes to weight loss.

Nitetrim Trial Offer

Nitetrim offers a trial offer. However, the website is contradictory on the terms of the trial offer. The website says they have a 15 day trial offer, but when you click on the link about the trial offer, it says the offer is 30 days. Regardless, if you do not cancel within the trial period, you are signed up for autoship (they automatically send you the product each month and charge your credit card for it). This is listed only in the very fine print, which is probably the way Nitetrim wants it so people are tricked into buying Nitetrim diet pills.

Nitetrim Cost

Nitetrim costs $49.95 per month, which is automatically charged to your credit card. This is way too much for Nitetrim. It contains only one clinically proven ingredient (garcinia cambogia) and does not list how much of it is included.

Nitetrim Guarantee

Nitetrim does have a guarantee, if you can call it that. The refund policy for Nitetrim is incredibly long and complicated. Basically, you can only return unopened bottles and if you cancel within 7 days of the next shipment, you will be charged a 30% restocking fee plus another $6.95. You can only get a refund within 30 days of purchase.

Nitetrim Conclusion

This Nitetrim review finds Nitetrim diet pills are not worth your time or money. Nitetrim contins only one proven ingredient (garcinia cambogia), and since Nitetrim hides how much of it is included, it is impossible to know if there is enough garcinia cambogia to be effective. The marketing of Nitetrim is confusing and inconsistent. If they can’t even figure out what their policies are, how is the consumer supposed to?
