Adipril Ingredients

GuggulEZ100 is supposed to increase thyroid function, causing weight loss. However, clinical studies have shown varying results.
Razberi-K is also known as raspberry ketones. While it has been shown to contribute to weight loss in rodents, there have not been human studies done on Razberi-K.
FucoPure is brown seaweed. It has not been shown to cause weight loss.
ThermoDiamine (Evodiamine) is another diet pill ingredient that has been proven effective in causing weight loss in mice. Once again, though, it has not been proven to cause weight loss in humans; more human research is needed.
ForsLean is supposed to increase lean body mass. This Adipril review finds that when combined with other proven diet pill ingredients, ForsLean can be effective at causing weight loss.
BioPerine helps the body absorb more nutrients. While this can help with overall health, there is no proof that it directly contributes to weight loss.

You will notice that the only Adipril ingredient that will actually contribute to weight loss is ForsLean, and it is effective when combined with other effective ingredients (which are not contained in Adipril diet pills). Therefore, this review finds the ingredients in Adipril will not cause weight loss.

Adipril Cost

Adipril diet pills cost $49.99 per bottle. Each bottle lasts one month. The website claims you save $50 off the retail price of $99.99. Don’t be too impressed by this. It is pretty common for diet pill companies to claim you are saving big bucks in order to get you to buy the product.

Adipril does offer a discount for bulk purchases. No matter the cost, Adipril is too expensive, considering there is no scientific proof that Adipril will actually contribute to weight loss.

Adipril Guarantee

The Adipril website claims they have a 100% Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee. They do not give specific details on their guarantee.

Even if it is a legitimate guarantee, we do not recommend using Adipril because you will definitely need to use the guarantee. Save yourself some time and grief by going with a diet pill that includes ingredients proven to cause weight loss.

Adipril Testimonials

The Adipril website contains several testimonials from supposed Adipril customers. The problem with testimonials is that they are way too easy to fabricate; there is no way of knowing if they are real or not.

Adipril Conclusion

This Adipril review finds Adipril is not worth your time or money. There is no scientific evidence to show Adipril will actually cause any weight loss. Although Adipril does offer a guarantee, due to the lack of clinical support, we recommend looking elsewhere for a diet pill. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

Nuphedra Ingredients

Serving size 2 capsules
Vitamin C 30 mg
Vitamin E 15 mg
Chromium Polynicotinate (300 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.
Vitamin B12 100 mcg
Niacin 20 mg
Vitamin B6 25 mg
Green tea (250 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Therefore, if you take the recommended 4-6 capsules per day, you will be getting plenty of green tea to cause weight loss.
Oolong tea (150 mg) does contain caffeine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Phenylethylamine (50 mg) is a feel good ingredient; it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
Cayenne 100 mg
Razberri-K (75 mg) is also known as raspberry ketones. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice, but more human research is needed.
Thermodiamine (Evodiamine) (10 mg) has been proven to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.
Lipolide-SC (10 mg) increases fat burning capabilities.
Yohimbine (2 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Green Coffee Bean Extract (50 mg) has been shown to inhibit weight gain, but only in mice. Again, more human research is needed.
Ginger 100 mg
Synephrine (20 mg) is a great diet pill ingredient. However, the important thing to note is the concentration of synephrine contained–the higher the better. Unfortunately, Nuphedra fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this Nuphedra review to determine if the concentration of synephrine of contained is enough to cause weight loss.
Bioperine (5 mg) helps the body absorb more nutrients. There is no evidence that it directly contributes to weight loss.
Vinpocetine (2.5 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
Dandelion 300 mg
Uva Ursi (150 mg) is used to treat bladder infections and arthritis; it does not cause weight loss.

Nuphedra Cost

Nuphedra diet pills cost $61.95 for a 30 day supply. This Nuphedra review finds Nuphedra is on the expensive side compared to other diet pills. Nuphedra does contain some great diet pill ingredients, but you can find a diet pill that is just as effective while costing you a lot less.

Nuphedra Guarantee

Is there a guarantee on Nuphedra diet pills? Well, the Nuphedra website is currently not working and you can’t order directly from the manufacturer at this point. Some retailers offer their own guarantee on products they sell. Be sure to check with the individual retailer to know if there is a guarantee.

Nuphedra Conclusion

This Nuphedra review finds Nuphedra contains some excellent diet pill ingredients in the necessary amounts. The only downfall to Nuphedra is the price. Nephedra should be effective in helping with weight loss. Can you find cheaper alternatives? Probably.

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Ingredients

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse is a 3 part system. The following are the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse.

-Iso-Burn AM Ingredients

Niacin 20 mg
Chromium 200 mcg

QT Capsimax Thermogenic Complex 244 mg
Caffeine Anhydrous is a good diet pill ingredient, but QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not reveal how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract
Metabromine Cocoa Extract is an appetite suppressant. It needs more clinical backing.
Bioperine helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no evidence to suggest it causes weight loss.

Super Antioxidant Thermo Catalyst Complex 233 mg
Blueberry, Blackberry, Transresveratrol, White Willow Bark, Acai
These ingredients do not cause weight loss.

Iso-Burn Fatloss Activator 415 mg
Green Tea Leaf Extract does contribute to weight loss. However, in order for green tea to be effective it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.
Raspberry Ketones has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human testing is needed.
Mucuna Pruriens
Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. However, once again, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not say how much Banaba Leaf it contains.
Sclareolide
Acetyl-l-carnitine
QT Detox Cleansing Complex 100 mg
Black Walnut Hull, Grapefruit Seed, Pau D’arco Bark, Pumpkin Seed, Myrrh Gum Powder, Hyssop, Gentian Root, Elecampane Root, Prickly Ash Bark, Yellow Dock Root, False Unicorn Root

None of these ingredients contributes to weight loss.

Iso-Cleanse PM Ingredients

Dietary Fiber 2 g

Iso-Cleanse Herbal Complex 2200 mg
Oat Fiber, Cellulose, Senna Leaf, Cascara Sagrada, Aloe Ferrox, Rhubarb, Prune Powder, Carob, Apple Fruit, Tamarind Extract, Date Fruit, Fig Fruit

NONE of the ingredients in Iso-Cleanse PM have been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Iso-Flush Ingredients

Vitamin B6 50 mg
Magnesium 100 mg
Potassium 100 mg
Herbal Blend 1000 mg
Buchu Leaf
Cornsilk Stylus
Couchgrass Rhisome
Hydrangea Root
Juniper Berry
Uva Ursi has been shown to cause drug interactions when combined with diuretics like Buchu Leaf.
Horsetail Extract

None of these ingredients has been shown to cause weight loss.

Proprietary Blend 156 mg
Dandelion Root
Green Tea is a very effective diet pill ingredient, but only when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse fails to list how much green tea it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.
Guarana has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. Because QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does not contain either Damiana or Yerba Mate, this QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse finds the Guarana in QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will not cause weight loss.

So, overall, QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, but it fails to list how much of each ingredient is included.

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Cost

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse costs $59.99 for a 14 day supply. This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since there is no proof that QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse will actually work.

QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse Conclusion

This QuickTrim Burn and Cleanse review finds this product is not worth your time or money. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but the amounts of each ingredient are undisclosed. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary 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.

This 8-FX review will breakdown each of the ingredients contained 8-FX and explain the cost and guarantee (or lack thereof) associated with 8-FX to help you determine if this is the product for you.

8-FX Ingredients

Chromium (200 mcg) has been shown to cause weight loss in some clinical trials, but others have found that it does not.

Proprietary Blend for Focus, Energy and Mood Activators 585.5 mg

Neuravena Wild Green Oat Extract

Caffeine (50 mg per serving) does contribute to weight loss, but you are unlikely to see much of an effect from 50 mg.

DMAE is supposed to positively affect mood, but studies have shown some dangerous effects. More research is needed on DMAE.

Proprietary Blend for Lipid Metabolism Activators 395.8 mg

Coleus Forskolii does contribute to weight loss, but 8-FX does not say how much coleus forskolii it contains.

Raspberry Ketones have been shown to cause weight loss in mice when included as 1% of the total diet. To get 1% of your total diet as raspberry ketones you would most likely have to take dozens of 8-FX diet pills. DO NOT TAKE MORE 8-FX DIET PILLS THAN RECOMMENDED! More human research needs to be done on raspberry ketones.

Evodia Extract has proven to cause weight loss in mice, but more human research is needed to determine its effect on human weight loss.

Advantra Z contains synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The important thing with synephrine is the concentration (the higher the better). Unfortunately, 8-FX fails to disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Green Tea is a clinically proven diet pill. To be effective, green tea has to be taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. It is extremely unlikely that 8-FX contains enough green tea to cause weight loss.

Cnidium Extract is supposed to help circulation, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

7-Methyoxy-8-Isopentenoxycoumarin

Yohimbe mobilizes fatty acid, causing weight loss. 8-FX hides the amount of yohimbe it contains, making it impossible for this 8-FX review to determine if there is enough yohimbe to cause weight loss.

Japanese Knotweed Extract

8-FX Cost

The cost of 8-FX is $47.89 for 80 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is expensive for a diet pill. Although 8-FX does contain several clinically proven ingredients, they are included in proprietary blends (which usually means there is very little of each ingredient included).

8-FX Guarantee

Medical Research Institute (MRI) is the manufacturer of 8-FX diet pills. The MRI website has details of 8-FX, but it says nothing about a product guarantee. They have a customer service phone number listed on the website, but when we called to ask about a guarantee, the only options given by the automated system were to enter an extension or hang up. Thus, we cannot say whether 8-FX has a guarantee or not. It does seem strange that contacting the company is so difficult.

8-FX Conclusion

This 8-FX review finds that while 8-FX does contain several clinically proven diet pills, it fails to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is necessary to be able to compare products against each other and against the clinical trials. We recommend finding a diet pill that lists the amounts of all their ingredients and includes the proper amounts of proven ingredients.

Adipo-X Ingredients

Vitamin B1 (5 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B3 (10 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B6 (10 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.

Calcium Carbonate (50 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.

Sesame Seed Oil (1398 mg)

Adipo-X Proprietary Blend (771 mg)

Caffeine Anhydrous USP is merely dried caffeine. Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, Adipo-X fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough caffeine to be effective.

L-Tyrosine AKG does contribute to weight loss. However, it has to be taken in doses of 500-1500 mg per day. It is VERY unlikely that Adipo-X contains enough L-Tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.

Raspberry Ketones 99% have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice. No human research has been done.

Advantra Z (Citrus Aurantium 30%) contains Synephrine, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The important thing with Synephrine is the concentration (the higher the better). Adipo-X lists the concentration of Citrus Aurantium but not the concentration of Synephrine.

Capsaicin Extract (Cayenne) can improve circulation and digestion. However, more research needs to be done to determine the effectiveness in weight loss.

Yohimbe PE (8% Yohimbine) does cause weight loss, but once again Adipo-X diet pills do not list how much Yohimbe they contain.

Paprika Extract

Ginger Root Extract (20% Gingerols)

Coleus Forskholi (40% Forskolin) does contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 250 mg per day. Adipo-X does not say how much coleus forskholi it contains.

Green tea is another clinically proven diet pill. Since Adipo-X hides how much green tea it contains, it is impossible for this Adipo-X review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.

Vinpocetine does not contribute to weight loss.

Bioperine aids in the absorption of nutrients; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.

You will notice that Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included. This makes it impossible to know how effective Adipo-X diet pills will actually be.

Adipo-X Cost

Adipo-X diet pills cost $39.96 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 40 days. This is not expensive for a diet pill, but considering Adipo-X does not list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to know how effective Adipo-X will be. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for Adipo-X.

Adipo-X Marketing

The Adipo-X website says, “If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase of Adipo-X, return the bottle with your invoice or receipt for a full refund.” They do not give any further information about their guarantee; they do not say how much time you have to return the product or if you will be charged a restocking fee.

The Adipo-X website mentions a free trial. However, they do not give any information on what the trial is or what strings are attached to the free trial.

Adipo-X Conclusion

This Adipo-X review finds Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden. Thus, we recommend looking for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Phenterpril Ingredients

Vitamin B6 (37.5 mg) has healthy benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.

Caffeine Anhydrous (37.5 mg) is no different from regular caffeine. It has been proven to contribute to weight loss; however, there is not enough caffeine anhydrous in Phenterpril diet pills to be effective.

Dicaffeine Malate (37.5 mg) has also been proven to contribute to weight loss because of the caffeine it contains. As with any product containing caffeine, be sure to take into account your own reaction to caffeine before taking Phenterpril.

Phenylethylamine (37.5 mg) is a mood enhancer. There is no evidence to prove that it actually contributes to weight loss.

Synephrine HCL (37.5 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. With Synephrine, the most important thing is the concentration contained. Since Phenterpril fails to list the concentration of the Synephrine it contains, it is impossible for this Phenterpril review to determine if the concentration of Synephrine is enough to be effective.

L-Phenylalanine (37.5 mg) is a proven appetite suppressant. However, the low amount of L-Phenylalanine in Phenterpril is unlikely to contribute to weight loss.

Evodia Rutaecarpa (Evodiamines 20%) (37.5 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but no human studies have been done.

Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (37.5 mg) is another proven diet pill ingredient. Studies have shown that for Tyrosine to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of 500-1500 mg per day. Thus, this Phenterpril review finds there is not nearly enough Tyrosine in Phenterpril diet pills to be effective at causing weight loss.

Guggulsterones (95%) (37.5 mg) are supposed to cause weight loss by increasing thyroid function. However, studies have shown conflicting results.

Ginger (37.5 mg) calms the stomach but does not contribute to weight loss.

Raspberry Ketones (37.5 mg) have been proven to induce weight loss in mice, but no human research has been done.

Phenterpril Cost

Phenterpril diet pills cost $55.99 for a one month supply. The Phenterpril website claims Phenterpril retails for $99.99. Companies often make these claims to make you think you are getting a great deal. In reality, $55.99 is way too much for Phenterpril. It contains a few proven ingredients, but not in the necessary amounts to cause weight loss.

Phenterpril Guarantee

Phenterpril has a 30 day money back guarantee (minus shipping and handling). Unlike many other diet pill companies, they do give returns on open bottles. We like this guarantee except we like to see a 90 day guarantee.

Phenterpril Marketing

Phenterpril tries very hard to compare with Phentermine, but they fall extremely short. They claim you will get the same results without the side effects. The truth is Phentermine has been proven and approved by the FDA. True, Phenterpril does contain some clinically proven ingredients, but the amounts included are not enough to cause weight loss.

Phenterpril (like so many other diet pills trying to mimic Phentermine) makes their packaging look like that of Phentermine. Again we reiterate, Phenterpril IS NOT a good substitute for Phentermine; it will NOT give you the same results.

Phenterpril Conclusion

This Phenterpril review finds Phenterpril fails to deliver on their promises. They cannot compete with Phentermine. Phenterpril diet pills contain a few proven ingredients, but not in high enough amounts. If you are interested in over the counter diet pills that will give you real results, look through our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in proven amounts.

SLIMQUICK extreme Ingredients

NutraTherm-X: 832 mg

• Green Tea Extract (leaf)
• Caffeine
• Loranthus (aerial parts)
• Theobromine
• Hoodia (gordonii) (aerial stem)
• Sesame extract (seed)
• Pu-erth Tea (leaf)
• Brown seaweed extract
• Rasperry Ketone
• Octopamine
• Clary sage extract (root)
• Dandelion
• Uva-Ursi extract (leaf)
• Bacopa (whole plant)
• Guggulsterones E&Z
• Evodiamine
• Vinpocentine
• Quercetin
• cAMP
• Yohim-Trim: Yohimbe 11-hydroxy yohimbine 4.5mg

Green tea is a clinically proven ingredient which contributes to weight loss.  Unfortunately there is no disclosure as to how much Green Tea is included (it matters).

Caffeine has been shown to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. However, SLIMQUICK extreme does not disclose how much caffeine is included in this product.

Hoodia is an overhyped ingredient that is surging through the diet pill industry. You should know that there is NO scientific evidence to show that Hoodia contributes to weight loss.

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 (metaphorically) of these SLIMQUICK extreme diet pills. ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604))

Octopamine is closely related to noradrenaline, with effects akin to dopamine. It has become very popular on the internet as a slimming aid because octopamine “may mobilize the release of fat from adipocytes (fat cells).” The catch though, is that the fat released is promptly absorbed by other cells. There is no research to suggest that Octopamine is an effective weight loss agent.

Gugglesterones are supposed to increase thyroid function to promote weight loss. However, studies have had varying results.

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.

SlimQuick Video Review

SLIMQUICK extreme Cost

You will pay $36.99 for 120 liquid gels of SLIMQUICK extreme diet pills. If you take the recommended 6 liquid gels per day, you will be paying over $55 per month. This is too expensive for this product
considering they do not tell you how much of each ingredient is included in the formula (and there couldn’t be a lot of the effective ones — green tea and caffeine — if the entire formulation is south of 900 mg and they’ve included so many other “eye-candy” ingredients).

SLIMQUICK extreme Guarantee

SLIMQUICK extreme does have a return policy. However, the product must be ordered directly from SLIMQUICK LABORATORIES to be eligible for a refund. Returns also must be sent in within 45 days of purchase.

SLIMQUICK extreme Conclusion

This SLIMQUICK extreme review finds that this product is lacking. While they do include some proven ingredients, they fail to list amounts for all included ingredients. Look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Thincinerator is “The Strongest Female Fat Burner Clinically Proven To Cut Body Fat on Women!” (Thincinerator website). Thincinerator diet pills will, according to the official website, “Burn up to 873 calories with every serving!” This Thincinerator review will determine if there is any validity to these claims and whether or not Thincinerator actually works.

What is in Thincinerator?

Here is a list of the ingredients contained in one serving (one capsule) of Thincinerator:

• Green Tea (50% Caffeine) 200 mg
• Caffeine Anhydrous 100 mg
• Dicaffeine Malate 100 mg
• Xanthinol Nicotinate 50 mg
• Cayenne standardized to 1% capsacain 50 mg
• Ginger 20% gingerols 50 mg
• Kelp 30 mg
• Rasberry Ketones 30 mg
• Synephrine HCl 30 mg
• Guggul EZ100 20 mg
• Bioperine 5 mg

Green tea has been proven to be an effective contributor to weight loss. Participants in a green tea study were given 300 mg of green tea per day. These participants experienced substantial weight loss.

Caffeine Anhydrous–studies have shown that caffeine does increase metabolic function, which can lead to weight loss.

Dicaffeine Malate–Many claim this is the equivalent of Ephedra–it isn’t. There is no research to prove it. Without any research, what we do know is that it contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase metabolic function.

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 Thincinerator diet pills. ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604))

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 ((J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2008 Dec;53(6):547-51.)).

In a 2005 statement issued by Robert E. Brackett, a director at the Food and Drug Administration before the House of Representatives he mentioned that they had found a 4% concentration of Synephrine in citrus aurantium while other times finding a concentration of chemical Synephrine of up to 90%.

I suppose if you were just going for weight loss, you’d hope yours had the 90% concentration. Thincinerator does not reveal the concentration of the Synephrine it contains. That’s not to say they don’t have 90% concentration, we’re only highlighting the fact that we don’t know what the concentration is.

Bioperine is an extract from the fruit Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Both of these contain the active ingredient that you’re looking for: Piperine. They call it a “thermonutrient” because it “enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity.” I don’t know if the ability to absorb more nutrients will directly translate into lost weight, but the added health benefits of Bioperine should not be overlooked.

What are the side effects of Thincinerator diet pills?

The side effects of Thincinerator include jitters, headaches, and sleeplessness. These side effects are due to the high caffeine content. As with any diet pill, consider your personal reaction to caffeine before taking Thincinerator. Some report great results using weight loss pills high in caffeine concentration, while others stay up at night. Start slowly and gauge your tolerance.

What does the research say about Thincinerator?

Although the Thincinerator website alludes to several clinical studies proving the effectiveness of Thincinerator diet pills, there has not been a study done specifically on Thincinerator itself (this is rare in the diet pill industry — to have a study done on an actual product — the reason? It can cost in the six figures to have one done). Studies have been done on several of the ingredients. These studies have found green tea, caffeine, and synephrine to be effective ingredients in diet pills.

The Thincinerator website lists the following benefits:

• Thincinerator is clinically proven to burn 5.8x the calories during exercises.
• Ingredients clinically proven to increase metabolism by 28% and cut body fat by 10%
• Drop pounds with Green Tea: Shown in research to decrease body fat by 8%!

How much does Thincinerator cost?

One bottle of 60 capsules of Thincinerator costs $49.99. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, Thincinerator will cost you about $2.50 per day, or $75 per month (the cost per day goes down as you buy more in quantity). This is a bit on the high side, but is palpable if you consider that Thincinerator is actually disclosing the amounts of ingredients they’re using, and that those ingredients are effective.

Does Thincinerator have a Satisfaction Guarantee?

Thincinerator offers a lifetime money back guarantee (minus shipping). You have to send back your empty bottle (and any other bottles “in resaleable condition”) and your money will be returned “without questions!” This is an unbelievably generous moneyback guarantee. I’ve only seen it with a few other products (coincidentally, those products have also risen very quickly in popularity, one of them being Lipovox).

Thincinerator Review Conclusion

This Thincinerator review finds that Thincinerator does contain several proven ingredients. It also contains ingredients that lack any clinical support, but we usually let those go if there is enough effective ingredient for the diet pill to do its job. While we like the inclusion of green tea, the amount of caffeine in this product is high so we would advise you to proceed with caution and gauge your body’s tolerance.

As long as you take this product knowing your body’s reaction to caffeine, you should be safe taking it. We do not doubt this product can cause weight loss.

As you can see. Atro-Phex makes some pretty bold claims. Too bad there is little research to back them up. Like countless other weight loss supplements, Atro-Phex fails to disclose just how much of each ingredient is included so comparing it other weight loss supplements or even to clinical studies of individual ingredients is virtually impossible.

What are the ingredients in Atro-Phex?

The following is a list of the ingredients contained in one capsule of Atro-Phex:

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl) 6.25mg
• Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) 100mcg
• BSN Atro-Phex Extreme Multi-Action Rapid & Sustained Release Energy & Weight Management Tech

Atro-Phex Employs Shock Factor as Marketing Tactic

Considering Atro-Phex’s target market, it’s no wonder that they simply throw out anything possible to impress the aspiring 13-year-old bodybuilder (who weighs a buck twenty-five soaking wet). What you’re seeing here is the employment of the relatively new shock factor. A diet pill shock factor is increased when the quantity of ingredients listed is increased to an (at that time) unbelievable amount. Notice that I’m not talking about the quantity or potency of each ingredient, just the length of the list.

Imagine baking a cake where you included one grain of pepper, one piece of rosemary, a few grains of cinnamon, and one single piece of parsley, sage, and thyme.

What would be the effect on the cake? Probably absolutely nothing. But then you could go around to your friends and say there were six “secret” ingredients in the cake to make it special.

This is essentially what Atro-Phex is doing here with their ingredients.

Now, if I were to take my secret cake ingredients and hide them inside new words, that would add even more to my cake’s shock factor.

• Pepper -> Schwarz Pfefir Extract (extract is overused, because for some reason everyone thinks it’s fancy)
• Rosemary -> Fat Disodator
• Cinnamon -> Cinni-plex Isolate (isolate’s a lot like extract, but less used)
• Parsley -> Petroselinum crispum (if you’re having a hard time coming up with a fancy name, you can just use the latin term for it — this is done all the time)
• Sage -> Leucophyllum frutescens
• Thyme -> Tymianek Extract (Tymianex means Thyme, but in Polish)

This is exactly what Atro-Phex has done. Don’t fall for it (especially at their price). I’ve bolded the terms that are simply fluff (or that made me laugh out loud).

Atro-Phex hiding (as usual) behind “Proprietary” Blends

You will notice specific amounts are listed only for the vitamins. None of the other ingredients have the amounts listed. This is typical for weight loss supplements because they don’t want you to know what a small amount of the effective ingredients is included.

Even at a dosage of four capsules, this ingredient list is cleary heavy on the list and light on the potency (and potency is what matters).

A Look at some Atro-Phex ingredients in depth

Studies show raspberry ketones (Razberi-K as listed above) induced weight loss in mice with a diet containing 2% of the total diet as raspberry ketones. No studies have been done on humans. Once again, Atro-phex does not disclose how much of this ingredient is included. (Notice that 2% of the total diet would be 40 calories based on a 2,000 calorie diet (if you’re an Atro-phex customer target, it would likely be more. It would be physically impossible for them ton include the same, or even close to the same ratio of raspberry ketones for you). ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604))

We like green tea as a diet pill ingredient, as it’s been proven effective in aiding weight loss. However, the actual amount of green teac contained in Atro-Phex is not disclosed, so we cannot determine whether it will provide any weight loss benefits.

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.

Bioperine is an extract from the fruit Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Both of these contain the active ingredient that you’re looking for: Piperine. They call it a “thermonutrient” because it “enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity.” The Bioperine website did cite one study on that showed an increased absorption of beta-carotene, vitamin B6 and selenium (fat soluble, water soluble, and a mineral, respectively). I don’t know if the ability to absorb more nutrients will directly translate into lost weight with Atro-phex, but the added health benefits of Bioperine are obvious.

Yohimbe 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. We’re lacking in research on Yohimbe (we meaning Criticalorie, not necessarily the medical community), so we take a neutral stance on it until we’ve done more research.

7-KETO is a naturally occurring metabolite (metabolites break things down for use in the body) of the hormon dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). DHEA serves as a precursor for the sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. In one study, participants exercised thee times per week for 45 minutes each time, ate an 1,800 calorie per day diet and was given either a placebo or 100mg of 7-KETO twice daily. After eight weeks, the KETO group lost an average of 6.34 pounds compared to the placebo group’s loss of 2.13 pounds. There are no long-term studies available to show 7-KETO’s affect on humans. Some have concerns that it may cause heart palpitations. Others have even suggested maximum dosages of 5mg (obviously much lower than the study cited above). As always, it is up for you to decide if you are comfortable supplementing with 7-KETO.

Dicana is a metabolic regulator that allegedly burns stored fat as while sparing muscle tissue. It promotes thermogenesis by boosting the body’s temperature and increasing oxygen consumption. There is no research to back up these claims.

What is the cost of Atro-Phex?

Atro-Phex costs $64.99 for 98 capsules. The recommended dosage is 4 capsules per day, with a warning not to exceed 8 capsules per day. At the recommended dosage, one bottle will last about 25 days. This is very expensive considering there is no research showing the product actually works.

Expense is an interesting thing with diet pills because, at times, it can show the manufacturer is actually including the necessary quantity of these ingredients to be effective. When I first saw the (very) high price for Atro-phex I thought, “Well hey, maybe the quantity is actually sufficient!” Then I noticed that Bodybuilding.com, one of the main distributors, sells it for $39.99. The $64.99 is just a fake “retail” price to make you feel good about wasting your money on Atro-Phex.

What are the side effects of Atro-Phex?

Side effects include cramping, burping, gas, sweating, nausea, headaches, and rashes. The Atro-Phex website explains that the product should be cycled through, with the optimal length being 12 weeks of taking Atro-Phex followed by 4 weeks off. My gut tells me Atro-Phex is heavy on shock appeal and light on results

Atro-Phex Review Conclusion

Atro-Phex does contain some ingredients that have been proven to promote weight loss. However, like so many other weight loss supplements, Atro-Phex fails to disclose the amount of each individual ingredient included in the product. This makes it impossible to determine whether enough of the ingredient is included to be effective. This product is too expensive considering they cannot prove their claims. (And the Atro-Phex website wins the Flashy Website award.)
