Acai Noni Ingredients

Acai Extract (100% Certified) Despite all the hype about Acai, it has NOT been shown to contribute to weight loss. True, it does have some health benefits, but that does not mean it will do anything to cause weight loss; the research just hasn’t proven it.

Hawaiian Noni Extract is another over-hyped ingredient. It may have some health benefits, but again, research has not shown that it does anything for weight loss.

Green Tea Extract is actually a clinically proven weight loss ingredient. Unfortunately, Acai Noni fails to list how much green tea it contains. This makes it impossible for this Acai Noni review to determine if Acai Noni contains the necessary 300 mg of green tea to cause weight loss.

Resveratrol Antioxidants is basically the manufacturer’s way of trying to impress you with big words. There is NOTHING in these antioxidants that causes weight loss.

Acai Noni Free Trial

Acai Noni offers a 30 day free trial (you only pay shipping).  In reality, it is only a 14 day trial. If you read the fine print you realize you have to cancel within 14 days or you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you more Acai Noni diet pills every month and charge your credit card $79.95). This is WAY too expensive for this product (although any price is too much for Acai Noni considering there is only one proven ingredient and they hide how much of it is included).

It’s pretty clear that Acai Noni is another one of the many scams popping up.  See this Complaints Board post if you want to see a bunch of angry customers that got ripped off with the ‘hidden facts’ about the free trial.

Acai Noni Guarantee

The Acai Noni website claims they have a money back guarantee. However, they do not give any details on the conditions of their guarantee. Given their other sketchy tactics, we are skeptical about this guarantee.

Acai Noni Marketing

The Acai Noni website uses many of the same pathetic marketing ploys that we see with so many other diet pill scams. They claim trial bottle quantities are limited, but if you check their website a week later it still says the same thing. They include unbelievable testimonials and before and after pictures that have obviously been doctored to look better.

Acai Noni Conclusion

This Acai Noni review finds this is merely another diet pill out to scam you out of your hard earned cash. Don’t buy into it. This is not a miracle weight loss pill; it will only leave you disappointed.

I’m starting to see a pattern here among many of the acai based pills.  For one, it’s popularity has exploded despite the fact that it, by itself, will not cause weight loss (I’m reminded of the hoodia gordonii fad).  But two, a lot of companies have chosen to jump on the acai bandwagon by engaging in shady marketing (the sneaky authoship) that just rips people off.  So not only are you getting an inferior product, but you’re often taken advantage of by having them charge your credit card without you expecting it (again, see the autoship info below).

This Acai-aSlim review will give you the details needed in order to make the right decision by not purchasing thier product.

Ingredients

Acai - Again, acai is a very healthy supplement, but it will not cause weight loss by itself.  It’s a good antioxidant, but it’s being marketed as something that it’s not (something that will shed the pounds off).

Hwaiian Noni – Another healthy supplement that wont cause weight loss.

Resveratrol - Yes…another healthy supplement that has not been proven to aid in weight loss at all.

Green Tea – Wow, finally an ingredient that actually has some studies backing up its claims to weight loss.  Green tea has been shown to increase the metabolic rate.  They don’t disclose the amount of green tea in the pill so, judging from the companies other marketing tactics, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there’s probably not enough green tea in there to make a difference.

Acai-aSlim’s Marketing (aka The Autoship)

Acai-aSlim engages in the same shady marketing tactics as many others in the industry.  They use an autoship program.  In a nutshell, when you enroll in an autoship program they automatically send your supply of pills to you every month (time frames vary) and automatically charge your credit card.  Not too bad right?  Well when companies are upfront about their autoship programs and the customers know about it, then no, it’s not so bad.  But what most companies do, Acai-aSlim included, is they hide the facts about the autoship in their ‘terms and conditions’ or something similar.  Often they’ll offer a ‘free trial,’ have you pay for shipping (so they have your credit card info, and wham! 15-30 days later you have a massive charge on your credit card for up to 3 months of product that they just mailed to your house.  Ouch!  Sound unethical?  It is.

Acai-aSlim’s Autoship – In Acai-aSlim’s case, I found the info on their autoship hidden in their terms and conditions.  PLEASE read the terms of any free trial that you see (it’s usually hidden in tiny font at the bottom of the page).  Acai-aSlim’s reads as follows:

“By agreeing to the terms of the Agreement, Customer automatically receives 14-day trial to the Program. Customer has 14 days to try the Program and decide whether to accept the Program full-time. Prior to the expiration of the 14-day trial period, Customer may cancel its subscription by calling toll-free at 877-317-0189 or writing to Acai-aSlim, 16192 Coastal Highway Lewes, DE 19958. Should Customer fail to cancel its subscription, its Subscription with Reg.Net will become active and Customer will be billed $79.95 on the 16th day after its trial begins and every month thereafter.”

Wow!  A whopping $80 per month.  I also read that it can be extremely difficult for you to even cancel within the 14 days of similar programs (they give you the runaround on the phone).

Bottom line:  Acai-aSlim is 1. not worth the price and 2. a scam designed to suck as much money out of you as possible.

Note:  I found a complaint posted about this product’s autoship program.  Click here to see for yourself.

Acai-aSlim’s Price

As mentioned above it’s $79.95 per month which is rediculously high!

Acai-aSlim’s Guarantee

From their ‘terms’: “Return and Cancellation Policy 30 Day Risk Free Satisfaction Guarantee Optimum benefits are most often realized with at least 90 days of continued use.”  They claim a 30 day guarantee, but it’s looking pretty shady to me.  I wouldn’t count on getting any of your money back.

Conclusion

Avoid Acai-aSlim like the plague.  The diet pill itself isn’t going to help you lose much weight at all anyway.  And even if it did, they fact that they try to rob you poor using their sneaky autoship program is reason enough to stay away.  And the price is rediculous (for what you’re getting)!  You can go to your local health food store and buy acai for much cheaper.  Look for a diet pill with straight forward marketing and business practices and that has proven ingredients in proven amounts.

What are the ingredients in Ghreleptin diet pills?

The following is the ingredient list for Ghreleptin, as listed on their website
Supplement Facts
Servings: 60
Serving Size 2 Capsules
Ingredients:
Leptin Activating Blend
Guarana Fruit
Acai
Bitter Orange
Noni
Mangosteen
Wolfberry
Pomegranate
Bitter Melon
Raspberry Ketones
Grapeseed

Ghrelin Deactivating Blend
Spinach Extract
Broccoli Extract
Garlic 100:1
Celery Seed Extract
Carrot extract
Wheat Grass Extract
Asparagus Extract
Tomato Extract
Shiitake Mushroom
Mustard Seed Extract
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.

7-DFBX Ingredients

Caffeine Anyhdrous is just regular caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Potassium Gluconate has healthy benefits but has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Chromium Polynicotinate has been shown to contribute to weight loss by some studies, but not by others.
Psyllium Husk
Oat Bran Fiber
Barley Rice Fiber
Apple Pectin
Fennel Seed
Glucomannan (267 mg) is a dietary fiber which is supposed to make users feel full. Studies have shown glucomannan to be effective when used at a dose of 2-4 g per day. Thus, this 7-DFBX review finds there is not enough glucomannan in 7-DFBX diet pills to be effective.
Flax seed powder
Dandelion Root
Uva Ursi is used to treat headaches and bladder infections. There is evidence that a drug interaction is possible when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu, Juniper, parsley, and mint leaf).
Cranberry
Buchu Leaves 4:1is a diuretic.
Alfalfa
Juniper Berries is a diuretic.
Garlic 100:1
Ginger Root
Parsley is a diuretic.
Goldenseal
Mint leaf is a diuretic.
Red Raspberry Leaf
Lemon Peel
Hawthorn Berries
Red Clover Leaf
Burdock Root
Irish Moss
Aloe Vera
Cayenne Pepper
Sage
Noni
Mangosteen
Pomegranate
Apple Cider Vinegar
Grapefruit Seed

7-DFBX is a diuretic (it rids your body of water). So, you might see a little weight loss from using 7-DFBX diet pills, but you will probably be on the toilet a lot. Don’t count on keeping the weight off either.

7-DFBX Cost

7-DFBX costs $19.99 per bottle (for a one week supply). This is very expensive, considering there is no evidence to show that 7-DFBX actually works.

7-DFBX Guarantee

The 7-DFBX website says, “If you are not satisfied with our product, please return the empty bottle to receive full refund less S&H. If you purchased more than 1 bottle, all other bottles MUST be in unopend, unused, and resellable condition.” This seems like a pretty good guarantee, although they do not specify how much time you have to return the product for a refund.

7-DFBX Claims

7-DFBX claims you can lose up to 21 pounds in one week by taking 7-DFBX diet pills. Anything that promises more than about a pound a day should be questioned. If you do happen to lose some weight when taking 7-DFBX, you won’t keep the weight off. 7-DFBX does warn to take a week off in between bottles.

7-DFBX Conclusion

This 7-DFBX review finds this product is not worth your money. You might experience some weight loss from 7-DFBX, but only because you will be stuck on the toilet. There are more comfortable and more lasting ways to lose weight. Check out our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in correct amounts.

According to their website, 7-DFB (seven day fat burner) is “the ONLY Fat Burner in the World that can help YOU Lose 7, 10, 14, Even Up To 21 POUNDS in Just 7-Days”. They claim the average loser loses 8.75 pounds in 7 days. This 7-DFB review will determine if there is any validity to these lofty claims.
What are the ingredients in 7-DFB?

The following is the ingredient list found on the 7-DFB website

What a long list of ingredients! The 7-DFB website has a description of each ingredient. In addition to those listed on the bottle, they also list Caffeine Anyhdrous, apple pectin, fennel seed, and goldenseal.
This seems strange since these ingredients are not listed on the bottle.

Chromium Picolinate (chromium + picolinic acid) is pushed by companies as an aid to losing weight. It is known that small quantities of chromium are “needed for glucose utilization by insulin in normal health, but deficiency is extremely rare in developed nations.”
Some claim chromium picolinate reduces insulin resistance and leads to weight loss. However, studies show mixed results.

Do you have a chromium deficiency? Probably not.

Glucomannan is a dietary fiber which makes you feel full. Studies have shown it is effective in promoting weight loss, but only if you take 2-4 grams per day. The amount of glucomannan in 7-DFB diet pills is not enough to cause weight loss.

The remainder of the ingredients in 7-DFB might be healthy, but they have no effect on weight loss (unless you call a laxative effect a way to promote weight loss). This 7-DFB review finds there is no ingredient in 7-DFB which has been proven to contribute to weight loss (at least not in proven amounts).
How much does 7-DFB cost?

One bottle of 7-DFB diet pills costs $19.99 for a seven day supply. However, if you join the Orovo club (a multi-level marketing company) you can get a bottle of 7-DFB for about $5 (after you pay full price for one product).

How should 7-DFB be taken?

The recommended dosage is 6 capsules twice a day for seven days. Allow 7-days without using the product in between cycles.
What are the side effects of 7-DFB?

Side effects of 7-DFB diet pills include frequent bowel movements, increased heart rate, and nausea.
Is there a guarantee for 7-DFB?

The 7-DFB website says they will give a full refund if you return your empty bottle (plus any unopened bottles). You will receive a “prompt refund” minus shipping and handling.

7-DFB conclusion

This 7-DFB review finds this is not a typical fat burner. It does not contain ingredients typically contained in fat burners. There are no proven ingredients in 7-DFB diet pills. Any claim that you can lose 21 pounds in seven days should be a huge red flag. Maybe you could lose weight on 7-DFB but it would most likely be because you would be stuck on the toilet for a week. If you really want to lose weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

As you can see, Orovo Detox has thrown in everything but the kitchen sink. Realize that just because a product has a long list of ingredients doesn’t mean it is an effective product. In fact, the opposite is often true. They want you to believe that the number of ingredients makes it more effective.

In this very long list of ingredients, only one, green tea, has been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Green tea is an excellent diet pill ingredient. It has been proven to significantly contribute to weight loss IF it is used in the correct amount. However, Orovo Detox includes green tea only in a “blend”, so the actual amount of green tea is not disclosed. Therefore, this Orovo Detox review cannot determine whether the amount of green tea included in Orovo Detox diet pills is enough to cause weight loss.

DMAE is supposed to have a positive influence on mood, but more human research is needed before it can be considered a good ingredient in a diet pill.

Wheatgrass is supposed to detoxify heavy metals from the blood stream and improve the digestive system, among many other things.While wheatgrass is healthy, there is no proof it contributes to weight loss.

The remainder of these ingredients, while they may be healthy, do not directly contribute to weight loss.

How much does Orovo Detox cost?

This is a tricky question. The official website says the retail price is $89.95 for one bottle, but you can buy it on the website for $39.99. You can save even more if you buy in bulk. This is a classic retail marketing tactic used to make people feel like they are getting a good deal so they will buy more.

Orovo has an income-opportunity side to it as well. If you sign up for their autoship program then you’ll be able to refer friends and earn money when friends by Orovo products. If you’re a great salesman then i suppose you could earn some extra money doing this.

Quick Orovo Detox Video Review

How should Orovo Detox diet pills be taken?

The Orovo Detox website instructs that the product should be taken for seven days (4 capsules twice a day) followed by a seven day rest period. Why is this? According to the website, “Because you will lose weight faster with Orovo DETOX than any other weight loss product ever made. The combination of the original 10 SuperFoods plus 31 Detox Agents promote results so FAST that taking for more than 7 consecutive days will cause you to lose weight TOO QUICKLY!”

We doubt the product will help you lose weight too quickly, based on our review as stated above. Throwing out cautions like this are usually meant to simply legitimize the product in a prospect’s eyes.

What are the side effects of Orovo Detox?

The side effects of Orovo Detox diet pills may include frequent bowel movements (though not explosive and without warning, a la Alli), anxiety, and possibly jitters.

Orovo Detox Conclusion

This Orovo Detox review finds that Orovo Detox diet pills are a nice contender for a detox option.  We like it overall.
