Fenphedra Xtreme Ingredients

Green tea (45 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg per day. This Fenphedra Xtreme review finds there is not enough green tea in Fenphedra Xtreme to cause weight loss.

Caffeine anhydrous is simply dehydrated caffeine. It does contribute to weight loss. However, Fenphedra Xtreme fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough caffeine to be effective.

Acacia Rigidula (45 mg Methylsynephrine) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Phenylethylamine HCL enhances mood; it has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Bitter Orange (25 mg Synephrine) Synephrine is a clinically proven ingredient. The important aspect with synephrine is the concentration–the higher the concentration the more effective synephrine is at causing weight loss. Since Fenphedra Xtreme does not say the concentration of synephrine it includes, there is no way of knowing if it will actually cause weight loss.

5-HTP is a mood enhancer; it does not cause weight loss.

Hoodia Gordonii, despite what many claim, does nothing for weight loss.

Cassia Nomane has been shown to cause weight loss in rats, but no human studies have been conducted.

Theobromine is used as a diuretic; it does not contribute to weight loss.

Yohimbine HCL does contribute to weight loss, but Fenphedra Xtreme diet pills hide how much Yohimbine they contain.

L-Tyrosine contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that Fenphedra Xtreme contains enough Tyrosine to be effective.

Naringen

6,7 Dihydroxy Bergamottin (Fruit)

Glucuronolactone

5 Methoxytrytamine HCL

Passion Flower

Valerian Root

St. John’s Wort

Don’t be impressed by the long list of ingredients contained in Fenphedra Xtreme diet pills. It most likely means there are only trace amounts of each ingredient included. Fenphedra Xtreme does contain a few proven ingredients, but they hide how much of most ingredients they have included (besides green tea, which is not included in a high enough amount).

Fenphedra Xtreme’s Unethical Marketing

Fenphedra is a diet pill that has experienced great success. By including the name “Fenphedra” in their product, Fenphedra Xtreme is banking off the likelihood that customers will connect them with the original Fenphedra and bring them more business, which is likely to happen.

So, let’s get a few things straight:

1. Fenphedra Xtreme is NOT made by the same company as Fenphedra.
2. Unlike Fenphedra, Fenphedra Xtreme hides the amount of each ingredient they include, making it impossible to determine how effective Fenphedra Xtreme will be at causing weight loss.
3. Fenphedra Xtreme does not offer any guarantee of their product; Fenphedra stands behind their product, offering a money back guarantee.
4. Fenphedra is a legitimate diet pill that we highly recommend. In contrast, we recommend staying away from Fenphedra Xtreme.
5. Fenphedra Xtreme obviously doesn’t have much going for it since it has to rely on a legitimate product to bring business.

Fenphedra Xtreme Cost

Fenphedra Xtreme diet pills cost $73.73 per bottle, with one bottle lasting a month. This is ridiculous. There is no reason to believe Fenphedra Xtreme will actually cause weight loss. And since they are trying to bank off the success of Fenphedra and they do not offer any guarantee, I wouldn’t go near Fenphedra Xtreme with a ten foot pole.

Fenphedra Xtreme Conclusion

Fenphedra Xtreme uses pathetic marketing strategies to promote their subpar product. Don’t even think about taking Fenphedra Xtreme. Instead, try the real Fenphedra or one of our other recommended products. They are honest in their marketing and include proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Lipodrene Ingredients

Lipodrene contains the following ingredients in a proprietary blend (they do not disclose how much of
each ingredient is included):

Sida Cordifolia Extract (leaves) (supplying 25mg)
Citrus Aurantium 10% (fruit)
U.S.P. Caffeine 100mg
5-Hydroxytrptophan
5-Methoxytryptamine
Green Tea Extract (leaves)
Cassia Nomame (whole plant)
Hoodia 12:1 Extract (Cactus)
Yohimbe 8% Extact (bark)
Naringen (fruit).

Sida Cordifolia has been used for centuries to treat various health issues including asthma, flu,
and cough. However, the stem of the Sida Cordifolia plant contains high levels of Ephedrine, which has been banned in the U.S. Although the Lipodrene website does not list Ephedrine as an ingredient, it is very possible that Ephedrine is included as part of the Sida Cordifolia Extract. There is no clinical
evidence to show the effectiveness of Sida Cordifolia in weight loss.

Citrus Aurantium contains synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However,
Lipodrene fails to disclose the amount of citrus aurantium contained in their formula, so there is no way for this Lipodrene review to determine the effectiveness of citrus aurantium in Lipodrene diet pills.

Caffeine is a great ingredient in contributing to weight loss. However, you should be aware of your
personal reactions to caffeine before taking Lipodrene or any product containing caffeine. Unfortunately, once again Lipodrene fails to tell you how much caffeine it contains so you won’t know whether it will be effective or not.

5-Hydroxytrptophan (also known as 5-HTP)is an amino acid included in diet pills for its mood enhancing effects. While studies have shown 5-HTP does enhance mood, studies have not shown what the side effects of 5-HTP are.

Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. However, Lipodrene fails to list how much green tea is contained in their “proprietary blend”.

Cassia Nomame is supposed to be a lipase inhibitor. Unfortunately, the only studies showing weight loss due to Cassia Nomame tested rats; studies have not been done on humans.

Hoodia is simply an overhyped waste of money. There is NO clinical evidence to prove that Hoodia actually contributes to weight loss. Don’t be fooled by outrageous claims–Hoodia is not worth your money.

Yohimbe, in addition to contributing to fatty acid mobilization, is also used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The Lipodrene diet pills sold on the Lipodrene website do not list ephedrine as an ingredient. However,
many websites are selling the older version of Lipodrene diet pills, which do list ephedrine as an ingredient.

Lipodrene Marketing

Lipodrene makes several interesting claims which they fail to back up. The Lipodrene website talks
about clinical studies done on Lipodrene. However, they do not mention who performed these studies,
when they were performed, or where/if the results are published anywhere.

Lipodrene offers a “Risk free trial”. They claim, “We are the Only Company Online that Offers this (RISK FREE TRIAL)” (website). The truth is there are several diet pill companies that offer almost exactly the same trial offer.

The Lipodrene trial offer says, “Simply try our product for at least 30 days. If you are not completely
satisfied – for any reason – return the product to us within 90 days for a complete refund less
shipping/handling fees” (website).

We do like that Lipodrene gives 90 days for customers to return products. We also like that Lipodrene
allows customers to return open bottles.

Lipodrene Cost

Lipodrene diet pills cost $39.95 for 100 tablets. If you take the recommended 2 tablets per day,
one bottle will last 50 days. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since Lipodrene
does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included in their formula, it is impossible to determine how effective Lipodrene will be. Thus, any amount is too expensive for Lipodrene.

Lipodrene Conclusion

This Lipodrene review finds that Lipodrene diet pills are not worth the money. While they do contain
several proven diet pill ingredients, Lipodrene fails to disclose how much of each ingredient they
include in their blend. We recommend you look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in
proven amounts.

Ephedra is a stimulant which has been proven to increase metabolism, thus leading to weight loss. However, due to the serious side effects of ephedra, it has been banned by the FDA. However, it is still available on the internet. Side effects from ephedra include irritability, dizziness, headache, insomnia, perspiration, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, stroke, or death. This Stimerex-ES review finds you should educate yourself on the effects of ephedra if you are considering taking it.

Citrus Aurantium contains synephrine. 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.))

Acacia Rigidula is included in many diet pills. However, there is no scientific evidence showing it contributes to weight loss.

Phenethylamine is an alkaloid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Some people call Phenetyhlamine “The Love Drug” because it is included in chocolate but the question arises as to the validity of that claim because Pheneythlamine is metabolized so quickly, it’s doubtful that any significant amount would reach the brain quickly enough to cause an effect. More human research is needed on phenethylamine.

Green tea is an ingredient which has been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Yohimbine comes from the bark of an African evergreen tree. It has been shown to increase fatty acid mobilization. It is also used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Caffeine has been shown to contribute to increased metabolic function and we readily support it as long as you pay attention to your own body’s reaction to it. There are a minority of people that react too much toward caffeine and are asking for sleepless nights if they ingest too much of it. Note: Don’t be impressed; Caffeine anhydrous is simply dehydrated caffeine.

How much does Stimerex-ES cost?

If you purchase Stimerex-ES diet pills on the manufacturer’s website (Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals) you will pay $69.95 for 90 capsules. You can find it online for $39.95. If you take the recommended dosage of three capsules per day, one bottle will last one month. At $1.33 per day, Stimerex-ES isn’t especially expensive, but because of the “Proprietary Blend”, there is no way to know if this product really is effective.

Is there a guarantee with Stimerex Thermo Rx?

The Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals website (Stimerex Thermo Rx manufacturer) explains that they give refunds only if the product is unopened and is returned within 30 days. Shipping fees are not refunded. In other words, if you buy one bottle, try it, and it makes you sick or something, you don’t get a refund. The only way you could get a refund is if you bought multiple bottles, opened one, but sent the other back. This is the classic no-guarantee guarantee.

Stimerex-ES Conclusion

This Stimerex-ES review finds we cannot recommend this product for the following reasons: 1) Stimerex-ES diet pills contain ephedra, which has been banned by the FDA. It has been classified as a dangerous ingredient. 2) Stimerex-ES does contain some proven ingredients, but they fail to tell how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend looking for a diet pill which contains safe, proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.
