Charge ASF Ingredients

Green Tea Extract (200mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when it is taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. If you take the recommended dosage of Charge ASF, you will get 400 mg of green tea per day. Thus, this Charge ASF review finds the green tea in Charge ASF diet pills will cause weight loss.

Guarana Extract (550mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Charge ASF diet pills do not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana.

Bitter Orange (9mg synepherine) 150mg does contain the proven ingredient Synephrine. Unfortunately, Charge ASF fails to mention the concentration of Synephrine (which is the most important aspect). Therefore, it is impossible for this Charge ASF review to determine if the concentration of Synephrine is enough to cause weight loss.

White Willow Bark Extract (50mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Ginger Root (10mg) does not cause weight loss.

Proprietary Charge Thermoblend: 375mg

L-Tyrosine has been shown to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg or more per day. Since this proprietary blend contains only 375 mg; Charge ASF simply does not contain enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.

L-Carnitine has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Naringin

Charge ASF Price

Charge ASF diet pills cost $22.99 for 120 capsules; if you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, but the only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is green tea. You would do just as well taking green tea (and it would be less expensive).

Charge ASF “Quality Guarantee”

I searched the Labrada (Charge ASF manufacturer) website for a guarantee policy. While I found no return policy, their “quality guarantee” says, “If it’s on the label, it’s in the product” (website). This is no guarantee. Labrada does not really guarantee their products. You will not get your money back if you buy Charge ASF.

Charge ASF Conclusion

This Charge ASF review finds this is a mediocre product. It contains only one proven ingredient in a proven amount. Charge ASF does not live up to its claims. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes several proven ingredients in proven amounts.

The Burn Ingredients

Women’s formula

Advanced Thermogenic Blend

Synephrine HCl (20 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. When looking at synephrine, the important thing is the concentration. The Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Yohimbine (3 mg) does contribute to weight loss.

Evodiamine (10mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.

Caffeine Anhydrous (190 mg) is dehydrated caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Di-Caffeine Malate (10 mg), like regular caffeine, contributes to weight loss. With the amount of caffeine contained in The Burn diet pills, be sure to take into account your own reaction to caffeine before taking The Burn.

Guggulsterone Z & E 1:1 (20 mg) are supposed to increase thyroid function to lead to weight loss. Research fails to support this.

L-Taurine (20 mg) is supposed to increase energy; research has failed to back up this claim.

Naringin (10 mg)

Bioperine (5 mg) helps in the absorption of nutrients. It has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.

Estrogen/Cortisol Support Agents

Phosphatidylserine (3 mg) supposedly prevents muscle breakdown and stimulates brain function. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.

Daidzein (3 mg)

Men’s formula

Advanced Thermogenic Blend

Synephrine HCl (20 mg)

Yohimbine (4 mg)

Evodiamine (12mg)

Caffeine Anhydrous (190 mg)

Di-Caffeine Malate (10 mg)

Guggulsterone Z & E 1:1 (22 mg)

L-Taurine (20 mg) is supposed to increase energy; research has failed to back up this claim.

Naringin (10 mg)

Bioperine (5 mg) helps in the absorption of nutrients. It has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.

Anabolic Burn Support Agents

20-Beta-Hydroxy-Ecdysone-2-Acetate-Ester 3 mg

7-Beta-Hydroxy-DHEA 2 mg has proven to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 100 mg per day. Obviously The Burn does not have nearly that much DHEA. However, studies have also suggested DHEA can cause heart palpitations.

It is interesting to note that the differences between the Women’s and Men’s Formulas are really insignificant. They have mostly just increased the amount of unproven ingredients.

The Burn Cost

The Burn diet pills cost $49.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While The Burn does contain a few proven ingredients, we would like to know the concentration of synephrine. If we are just looking for caffeine and yohimbine, we can find them for much less money.

The Burn Guarantee

The Burn has a 6 month full money back guarantee. The even give refunds for opened bottles (if they are at least half full. If they are less than half full you get a partial refund). We like this refund policy.

The Burn Marketing

The Burn uses typical diet pill marketing practices in using unbelievable testimonials and pictures. It does not make them stand out from any other diet pill. However, on their website they do have an extensive list of citations for research done on the ingredients contained in The Burn. We like when the company provides the customer with direction in doing their own research.

The Burn website warns, “Do not use for more than 8 weeks.” They do not explain what will happen if you use The Burn diet pills for longer than 8 weeks. This is somewhat concerning.

The Burn Conclusion

This The Burn review finds that The Burn is really no different from many other diet pills. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but you could find the same ingredients for much less money. Look through our recommended products to find one that is right for you.

Naringin

Advantra Z is made of Synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Herbalean FX includes Advantra Z in a proprietary blend, so there is no way for this Herbalean FX review to determine if there is enough Advantra Z in Herbalean FX diet pills to be effective.

Green tea has been proven to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. Again, Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much green tea it contains.

Hoodia, despite popular belief, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss. Do not be fooled by the gimmicky claims about hoodia; it won’t do anything for you.

PEA (Phenylethylamine) is often called “The Love Drug”. However, it is metabolized very quickly, so it may not actually have any effect. More human research is needed.

Tyrosine is an amino acid used to synthesize proteins. It is found in many dairy products. Research has shown Tyrosine contributes to weight loss. However, Tyrosine must be taken at 500 to 1500 mg per day to be effective. Herbalean FX does not disclose how much Tyrosine is contained in the proprietary blend. It is unlikely that there is enough Tyrosine in Herbalean FX to be effective.

Herbalean FX Cost

Herbalean FX diet pills cost $23.99 for 120 capsules (this was the least expensive price we found online by far). If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last one month. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, but since Herbalean FX fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included, it is impossible to know if Herbalean FX will be effective. Thus, any price for Herbalean FX would be too expensive.

Herbalean FX Marketing

The Herbalean FX website shows pictures of “Kaizen Sponsored Athletes” (Kaizen is the manufacturer of Herbalean FX). They do not explain who these people are–if they took Herbalean FX or why they are featured on the website. Most of the “sponsored athletes” look like bodybuilders. Like so many other diet pill companies, Kaizen uses unbelievable photos and testimonials to sell Herbalean FX diet pills.

Herbalean FX Conclusion

This Herbalean FX review finds Herbalean FX does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. However, they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, it is impossible for this Herbalean FX review to determine how effective this product will be. Don’t make the gamble; use a product that you can be confident will work. Look at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.
