Black Grape Ingredients

Niacin (20 mg) does not cause weight loss.
Vitamin B6 (5 mg) is important to good health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.
Vitamin B12 (4.8 mcg) is another important vitamin, but it will not cause weight loss.
Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) is also known as Vitamin B5. It does not cause weight loss.
Taurine (1000 mg) is often added to energy drinks, but it does nothing for weight loss.
L-Leucine (1000 mg) helps slow muscle degeneration. It sounds like a broken record, but this ingredient does not cause weight loss.
Natural Caffeine (75 mg) is an effective ingredient, but Black Grape does not contain enough to cause weight loss.
Green Tea (50 mg) is an excellent, scientifically proven ingredient. In order for green tea to be effective at causing weight loss, it has to be taken in doses of 300 mg per day. That means you would have to drink 6 cans of Black Grape every day to get enough green tea to cause weight loss.
Guarana Seed (42 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate, neither of which is contained in Black Grape. Therefore, this Black Grape review finds the Guarana contained in Black Grape will not cause weight loss.
Resveratrol (20 mg) is simply another fad. It has not been proven to cause weight loss.

Black Grape Cost

Black Grape costs $49.95 for a case of 24 cans. If you drink 2 cans per day, Black Grape will cost you over $120 per month. This is ridiculous. There is no reason to believe that Black Grape will actually cause weight loss. Put your money into a product that will actually result in weight loss.

Black Grape Guarantee

The Black Grape website touts a guarantee. However, it is pathetic to say the least. You can get a refund on any unused cans if you return them within 5 days of receiving them. There is no way to know if a product is working after only 5 days (except that there is no scientific evidence to show Black Grape will actually work). So, if you do choose to purchase Black Grape, know that you will not get a refund if you wait more than 5 days.

Black Grape Affiliate Program

Like dozens of other diet products, Black Grape offers an Affiliate Program. It is a multi-level marketing company. Basically you get other people to buy the product and you earn $9 per case they buy. Maybe you can earn some money from Black Grape, but you won’t lose weight by using it.

Black Grape Customer Service

Black Grape has no customer service phone number. I contacted them for more information, but they still have not responded after 3 days. I am always suspicious of companies that make it impossible to contact them. It makes me wonder if they are hiding something.

Black Grape Conclusion

This Black Grape review finds this product is way too expensive. There is no reason to believe Black Grape will cause weight loss. Go with a diet product that includes clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

Green tea has long been seen as an effective weight loss ingredient, so how does the product Green Tea HP stand up against the competition? Read on to find out.

Ingredients

Green Tea – Green tea is a solid weight loss ingredient that is backed by loads of research and clinical studies. Green tea contains caffeine, so those that are particularly sensitive to caffeine should take note.

Acai – Acai has become quite popular as of late, mostly due to the marketing hype of diet pill companies and not due to the actual weight loss potential of the ingredient. It is a great antioxidant and a healthy supplement to take, but it will do little to actually cause you to lose weight.

Noni Juice – Noni is a tropical fruit (technical name is morinda citrifolia) that some believe has various health benefits.

Pomegranate Juice – Also contains antioxidants that help overall health, but will cause no weight loss.

Resveratrol – A phytoalexin found in the skin of red grapes, resveratrol has many health benefits. Its effectiveness in weight loss has yet to be determined.

L-Theanine – An amino acid, l-theanine has been shown to help reduce stress. Often diet pills will include l-theanine to counteract effects of stimulants such as caffeine. Will it cause weight loss? No.

Bioperine – A thermonutrient, bioperine helps to absorb nutrients. While it won’t cause weight loss, it may help in the absorption of ingredients that will.

Looking at the ingredient profile, the only real ingredient that will cause weight loss is green tea. The other ingredients are basically support ingredients. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing since green tea is such a highly effective weight loss ingredient.

Green Tea HP’s Marketing

What I do like about the Green Tea HP website is that they actually have a fair amount of information concerning the studies that back up their claims about the health benefits. In most cases they provide a listing of citations allowing you to verify the results of the study for yourself.

What I don’t like about the marketing (and mostly the marketing of other websites pushing Green Tea HP) is that they claim to have about every health benefit under the sun. Just be wise of the fact that while the product is likely to have numerous health benefits, it’s certainly not the miracle product that will solve all your health problems, (preventing cancer, kidney disease, osteoporosis, etc.) like it’s made out to be.

Gree Tea HP’s New Sales Tactic: Network Marketing

From what I can tell, Green Tea HP was originally sold in kiosks in shopping malls. They are now (and the switch seems to be rather recently) moving to a network marketing sales method (same method used by Tahitian Noni, Avon, etc.). This means that you can become a distributor for Green Tea HP and sell the product.

I’m personally not a big fan of network marketing because there is often more of a focus on selling other people on the ‘business opportunity’ than there is on the actual product. In most cases it’s just a way for the company to grow fast and grow rich. I can’t say if the same goes for Green Tea HP, but don’t be too surprised if your long lost friend calls you after 5 years of no contact trying to sell you a new and amazing wellness formula called Green Tea HP.

To each their own I guess.

Green Tea HP’s Price

Green Tea HP comes in many different varieties and sizes. I appears that a standard order would the “variety sixty” which comes with 60 “pixies” (doses). Per the instructions you take two doses per day so this sixty pack will last one month.

A sixty pack of Green Tea HP costs $79.95. This is definitely on the more expensive side of the weight loss product spectrum.

Green Tea HP’s Guarantee

It doesn’t appear that the company offers any kind of money back guarantee.

Conclusion

Green Tea HP’s ingredients look to be ok. Green tea is a good weight loss ingredient that is likely to help you with drop some weight. Green Tea is also positioning itself as more of a wellness product, and not just a weight loss drink.

The price is a little high and the lack of guarantee makes me a little cautious. Also, take note that you may see quite a bit of biased testimonials based on the fact that virtually anyone can become a distributor for the company and has something to gain.

“Decrease body fat

Instant Response

Control Appetite

Lasting Energy” (TFuel Hardcore package).

This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is a waste of your time and money; there is NO reason to believe it will lead to weight loss.

TFuel Hardcore Ingredients

• Vitamin B3 does not cause weight loss.
• Vitamin B12 does not cause weight loss.
• Pyridoxine HCL
• Chromium (from Chromium Polynicotinate) has shown varying results in clinical trials.
• Pantothenic Acid (as d-calcium pantothenate)
• Thiamin has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.
• Caffeine Anhydrous does contribute to weight loss, but TFuel Hardcore fails to list how much caffeine it contains.
• Synephrine HCL is an effective diet pill, but the important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration contained (the higher the concentration the better). TFuel Hardcore diet pills do not reveal the concentration contained.
• Vinpocetine helps treat age-related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.
• Rhodiola Rosea (Rosavins) is a mood enhancing ingredient; it does not cause weight loss.
• L-Tyrosine contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is highly unlikely that TFuel Hardcore contains enough Tyrosine to cause weight loss.
• Schizandra Chinensis
• L-Taurine is supposed to increase energy, but research has failed to back up this claim.
• St. Johns Wort
• Ginger Root
• Magnolia Bark (Honokiol)
• Green Tea Leaf (Polyphenols) is an effective diet pill ingredient, but the amount contained is hidden.
• L-Phenylaline is a good diet pill ingredient, but again TFuel Hardcore fails to list how much Phenylalanine it contains.
• Valerian Root
• Passion Flower
• Octopamine HCL has not been proven to cause weight loss.
• Glucoronolactone
• 5 HTP (5 Hydroxy-L-tryptophan) is a mood enhancer; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.
• Evodiamine has been shown to contribute to weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.
• Hoodia Gordonii, despite what many diet pill companies claim, does NOT contribute to weight loss.
• Resveratrol
• Chocamine needs more research to determine if it is an effective weight loss ingredient.

Do not be impressed by this excessive list of ingredients. TFuel Hardcore diet pills do contain some effective ingredients, but they fail to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually because there is just a trace amount of each ingredient included. There is no reason to believe TFuel Hardcore will actually cause weight loss.

The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains “patented ingredients.” The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.

TFuel Hardcore Price

TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.

Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?

After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don’t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.

TFuel Hardcore Conclusion

This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

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.

They’ve taken those 10 foods, put them in a diet pill, and there you have DecaSlim.  This review will look more into DacaSlim’s ingredient profile and business practices to get a clearer picture for what it offers.

DecaSlim Ingredients

• Green Tea
• Tonalin CLA
• Viscofiber
• VitaBlue
• BroccoPlus
• Futureceauticals Spinach
• LinumLife
• Lycomato
• Allicin Powder
• Resveratrol

Green Tea is probably our favorite diet pill ingredient. It effectively ingreases the metabolism’s burn rate (which means you’ll be burning more calories and losing weight), has a whole slew of other healthy benefits, and is backed by more research than any other diet pill ingredient available today.

Tonalin CLA – A brand name for conjugated linoleic acid, Tonalin has been shown to reduce body fat while preserving muscle in many clinical studies.  It’s not found in many diet pills because of its high price tag.  We like that DecaSlim has included it in their formula.

Visocfiber – A good source of fiber, viscofiber provides many health benefits common to regular dietary intakes of fiber.  Its inclusion in DecaSlim is meant to act as an appetite suppressant as it makes a gel-like substance when met with water in the stomach, making you feel more full.

VitaBlue – Provides the antioxidant anthocyanidins.  Antioxidants provide many health benefits and are always a plus in a dietary supplement.

BroccoPlus – Provides glucosinolates which aids in the liver function.

Futureceautical’s Spinach – Spinach has undisputed benefits relating to your overall health.  It also contains the important anti-oxidant that has been claimed to help increase energy levels.

LinumLife - Contains flaxseed which some believe helps with acne and good skin. LinumLife supposedly has a better combination of the essentials in flaxseed.

Lycomato – A source of lycopene, Lycomato claims to support cadiovascular health, support prostrate health, help prevent DNA and cell damage, and support healthy skin.  Some studies are supporting.

Allicin Powder - A strong source of garlic, allicin has been shown aid in ones cholesterol levels.

Resveratrol – A phytoalexin found in the skin of red grapes and othe plants, resveratrol has many health benefits.  Its effectiveness in weight loss has yet to be determined, but it is a good dietary supplement overall.

The ingredient profile in DecaSlim is actually very good.  A very natural take on weight loss, DecaSlim provides many supplements that are proven to benefit your health.  A few of those ingredients are targeted directly toward burning fat, while others are sure to aid in weight loss and make you feel healthier.  While we do wish they would disclose exactly how much of each ingredient is included, we like what we see as far ingredient offerings.

DecaSlim Gurantee

They have a lifetime 100% money back guarantee.  That’s about as good as it gets.

DecaSlim Cost

$39.99 gets you one bottle of DecaSlim with discounts as the number of bottles purchased rises.  For The ingredient profile that you’re getting, we expected to see a little higher price.

DecaSlim Marketing

DacaSlim’s marketing is the kind we like to see.  Their website is very straight forward providing alot of information on the actual ingredients included.  Most diet pill companies provide a big sales pitch about how much sexier you will be after swallowing their pill.  With DecaSlim on the other hand, there is a clear focus on the ingredients throughout, which is very refreshing.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a more natural solution to weight loss, DecaSlim may be the right one for you.  Their ingredient profile is strong, touting many ingredients proven to help you lose weight as well as increase your overall health.  Their price is good and their guarantee is the best in the industry.  We say give DecaSlim a try.  Two thumbs up for DecaSlim.
