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.

• “Regulate cortisol levels.
• Decrease appetite and cravings.
• Balance blood sugar levels” (website)

This Corti-Cut review will show that there is no reason to believe any of the claims made about Corti-Cut. It is just another typical diet pill that simply wants your money.

Corti-Cut Ingredients

Magnolia Extract (100 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Proprietary Herbal Blend (200 mg)

Rhodiola Rosea supposedly makes you feel good; it does not cause weight loss.

Rosavins

Green Tea has been shown to cause weight loss. However, it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Corti-Cut does not say the amount of green tea it contains, but since the proprietary blend is only 200 mg, there is no way Corti-Cut contains enough green tea to be effective.

Camella Sinensis

Polyphenonols

Bitter Orange Peel Extract (Citrus Aurantium) 6% Synephrine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration–the higher the concentration the more effective it is. With only a 6% concentration, the Synephrine in Corti-Cut will not be effective.

Vitamin C (60 mg) is healthy, but it does not cause weight loss.

Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.

L-Theanine (100 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Phospholipids (100 mg)

Phosphatidylserine (soy phospholipid)

Phosphatidylcholine (soy phospholipid)

Phosphatidylethanolamine (soy phospholipid)

Phosphatidylinositol (soy phospholipid)

Essential fatty Acid Blend (20 mg)
Caprylic Acid

Linoleic Acid has healthy benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.

Oleic Acid

Palmitic Acid

Stearic Acid

Don’t be impressed by this lengthy ingredient list. The only proven ingredients are green tea and synephrine, and they are not included in high enough amounts to contribute to weight loss.

Corti-Cut Cost

Corti-Cut diet pills cost $38.63 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended 2 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is way too expensive for Corti-Cut. It contains a couple proven ingredients, but they are not included in the necessary amounts. Spend your money on a product that actually contains proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Corti-Cut Guarantee

Corti-Cut is manufactured by Olympian Labs. The Olympian Labs website says nothing about a guarantee for Corti-Cut diet pills. Some retailers do offer their own guarantees. We are skeptical of any company that does not guarantee their product–just one more reason not to buy Corti-Cut.

Corti-Cut Conclusion

This Corti-Cut review finds Corti-Cut is not the product for you. It contains only two proven ingredients, and they are not included in the necessary amounts. There is no manufacturer’s guarantee for Corti-Cut diet pills. To get real weight loss results, try one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in proven amounts.

JetFuel Ingredients

Vitamin B3 (25 mg) is important to overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B12 (333mcg) has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.

JetFuel Proprietary Blend 2164 mg

MCT Oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides)

Guarana has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. JetFuel does not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this JetFuel review finds the Guarana contained in JetFuel diet pills will not be effective at causing weight loss.

Caffeine Anhydrous has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, JetFuel fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough caffeine in JetFuel to make it effective.

Panex Quiquefolium

Green tea contributes to weight loss, but once again JetFuel hides the amount of green tea it contains.

Synephrine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing with synephrine is the concentration–the higher the concentration the more effective it is. JetFuel diet pills do not list the concentration of synephrine contained.

Yohimbine contributes to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid. JetFuel does not disclose how much Yohimbine it contains.

Acetyl L-Carnitine is supposed to break down fats, but there is no evidence to back up this claim.

Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but no human studies have been done.

Hoodia Gordonii Extract DOES NOT cause weight loss. Don’t be fooled by the false claims and celebrity endorsements; research has shown hoodia does not contribute to weight loss.

Synthetic Guggelsterone is supposed to increase thyroid function, causing weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.

Octopamine is a popular diet pill ingredient, but it does not cause weight loss.

5 HTP is a mood enhancer, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.

cAMP

Rhodiola Rosea is supposed to make you feel good; it does not contribute to weight loss.

Cortisol Blocker Blend 75 mg

Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylcholine

Phosphatidylethanolamine

Magnolia Bark

L-Theanine is supposed to reduce stress, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Piperine Extract (Bioperine) 5 mg aids in the absorption of nutrients, but it has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.

JetFuel Cost

JetFuel diet pills cost $37.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. While JetFuel does contain several proven ingredients, it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included.

JetFuel does offer a “free sample.” However, it includes only 3 capsules (half a day’s worth). How can you tell anything with such a small amount?

JetFuel Guarantee

The JetFuel website says nothing about a guarantee so I called their customer service line. The representative I talked to was not knowledgeable. He could not tell me exactly what their guarantee is. According to the representative, they will refund your money if you buy JetFuel from their website. He did not tell me if there is a time limit on the guarantee.

JetFuel Marketing

JetFuel has a new spokesman, Jose Canseco. I had to laugh when I saw his face on their website. What reputable company would use Jose Canseco as a spokesman after all the trouble he has been in?

The JetFuel website has dozens of pictures of people with bulging muscles who have supposedly used JetFuel diet pills. Under the pictures is the caption “results are not typical”. Why don’t they have pictures of typical results so you know what to expect?

JetFuel Conclusion

This JetFuel review finds JetFuel diet pills are nothing special. They do contain several proven ingredients, but they hide how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend you look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

The makers of Zylorin consulted with leading researchers and authorities in weight loss science with one focused goal in mind.

Really? Who were these leading researchers and authorities? They never mention them.

Zylorin is formulated with the highest grade of patented, clinically proven ingredients that will energize your body…

Clinically proven? Then reference the clinical studies.

Maybe it’s just the fact that I dig into these sites a LOT, and maybe Zylorin just caught me on a bad day, but I get so sick of the same old catchphrases used again and again and again. It’s as if the copywriter has a checklist of words they need to include:

And then they just go to town, ensuring that they use those words at least once or twice. Throw in a few hard-to-backup claims, and you have yourself a diet pill ad. Zylorin isn’t looking any different at first glance, but we’ll dig in to make sure we actually give them credit where it’s due (if any).

Zylorin Quick Video Review

Zylorin’s Ingredients

• Hoodia Gordonii is listed as their top ingredient. That’s a shame, since Hoodia Gordonii is the most unsubstantiated dieting fad to hit the market in a long time. My review of Hoodia Gordonii should shed some light on its ineffectiveness. It’s not good to have your flagship ingredient be one that is a complete sham. But we’ll move on. ((When you read on Zylorin’s site about its appetite suppression abilities, they’re talking about the inclusion of Hoodia Gordonii. It doesn’t suppress anything except your checking account balance))
• Vitamins B6, B12, C, and E, Beta Carotene and Folic Acid. Vitamins are good. But you’d get these things (and a lot more) with a $10 multivitamin purchased from Walmart.
• Phosphatidylserine was a black hole for me as far as research goes, but one site that sold it in capsule form cited that it prevents muscle breakdown, stimulates brain function, and maintains brain function, memory and cognitive ability. These are kind of broad claims, but we’ll go with it for a second. How will these claims help you lose weight? I honestly have no idea. It’s a stretch for Zylorin to say the least.
• Beta-sitosterol is used in Europe for the treatment of prostatic carcinoma and breast cancer, with a small study showing a “positive effect on male hair loss in combination with Saw Palmetto”. ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-sitosterol)) How does it aid in weight loss? Your guess is as good as mine.
• Chromium is an iffy one for me because I’ve found studies refuting and supporting its weight loss benefits. So let’s call it a wash. You can read my review on Chromium picolinate for more information if you’d like. Zylorin has 100 mcg…not the dosage seen in the effective studies… so maybe it’s not so much of a wash.
• Green Tea has been shown to increase the metabolic rate, which will aid in your weight loss. I reviewed Green Tea extensively and support it as an effective stimulant that can be included in diet pills. Zylorin has 50 mg of Green Tea which is an extremely small — possibly ineffectively small — dose. They could have scored some points there but they didn’t.
• Citrus Aurantium, whose active ingredient is Synephrine. Synephrine has also been subject to my review and fared well. It’s an effective stimulant for aiding in weight loss. Unfortunately, the inclusion of one weight-loss promoting ingredient at a moderately high level does not let me recommend Zylorin for anything except…well…nothing.

Zylorin’s Guarantee has a Black Eye

Most diet pill offerings include a moneyback guarantee. Why? They want to make sure customers can purchase with confidence. The trouble with Zylorin’s guarantee is that they only accept returns for unopened merchandise (including allergic reactions) and they charge a “25% administrative processing fee” for all opened products that are returned to them.

Just to put this in clear terms: You buy Zylorin from them, then you open it, then you return it along with a closed bottle. They’re going to refund you the amount for the closed bottle less the bottle you opened. From their wording, I can’t make out if they charge this whether you actually return the opened bottle, or just send them back the unopened bottles.

At any rate, Zylorin’s guarantee is horrible. One of the worst I’ve seen in a while.

Zylorin Reviewed – an Overall Conclusion

Zylorin has one ingredient that will induce weight loss at a moderately high dosage. Most of its ingredients you’ll find in a multivitamin. Their guarantee is extremely slanted toward lining their own pockets instead of looking out for their customers and Zylorin’s long-term relationships with those customers. This one is a big NO.
