So how does Aspire stack up against the competition? This Aspire review will take a look at their ingredients, marketing, guarantee, and pricing to help you decide for yourself.

Ingredients

The Aspire weight loss product consists of 3 different formulas: Cleanse, Weight Loss, & Appetite Suppressant.

Cleanse is designed kick start your weight loss by ridding your body of toxins.
Weight Loss is meant to boost your energy and your fat burning capabilities.
Appetite Suppressant is (surprise!) supposed to help you eat less.

Aspire Cleanse

Lactobacillus Acidophilus
Psyllium Seed
Aloe Vera
Cascara Sagrada – A natural laxative, cascara sagrada is effective but has a number of side effects and safety warnings (such as don’t take it for longer than 7 days in a row).
Milk Thistle Seed
Fennel Seed
Rhubarb Root
Raspberry Leaf
Flaxseed
Goldenseal Herb
Dandelion Leaf

This is a pretty standard mix of fibers designed to cleanse your system.

Aspire Weight Loss

Raspberry
Guarana – Has shown to be effective when combined with yerba mate and damiana.
Green Tea – An effective and proven weight loss ingredient, green tea helps to increase the metabolic rate and is known for its fat burning capabilities.
GuggulsteronesWhile many claim that it aids in fat burning, research is lacking that supports this theory.
Rhodiola Rosea
Cinnamon Bark
Yerba Mate – Has shown to be effective when combined with guarana and damiana.
Banaba
Ginseng – Many believe that ginseng aids in weight loss, and early studies seem slightly supportive, but more definitive research is needed.
Dandelion Root
Alpha-lipoic Acid – While it’s true the alpha-lipoic acid helps produce energy, studies suggest that your body already makes enough of it so more isn’t likely to do much good.
Evodiamine
Chromium – Chromium plays in important role in blood sugar regulation. More research is needed, however, that shows that chromium supplementation leads directly to weight loss.

Aspire Appetite Suppressant

GlucomannanA dietary fiber that has quite a bit of research backing up its claims to be an effective appetite suppressant.
Fibersol-2
Hoodia GordoniiHoodia is a fad ingredient that has almost zero research backing up its claims to aid in weight loss through appetite suppression. It became popular by marketing, and not for its efficacy.

Some of the ingredients in Aspire are good and some are hype. If they disclosed the amounts of each ingredient, it would be much easier to gauge it’s effectiveness.

Aspire’s Marketing

First, the positive. I like that Aspire lists all of the ingredients in the different formulas and even has a little information about each one. This can be found by going to the FAQ’s, then clicking the question about the ingredients. While I wish they told us how much of each ingredient is in the mix, they’ve done more than some companies that I’ve seen.

What I don’t like about Aspire’s marketing is that the entire website feels like some hyped up sales pitch that almost tries to play off of people’s insecurities. You’ll see comments such as, “Do You Feel Like Crying When You Look In The Mirror? Use Aspire And Laugh Out Loud When You Get On The Scale” or “heads will turn wherever and whenever you walk by.”

Oh, and this was a favorite:

You should not be spending your time worrying or crying about your weight. If you really want to be slim and gorgeous and wear those hot bathing suits you’ve seen on the beaches (and only dreamed of wearing), we have the answer you’ve been waiting for.

As if we have to be slim and skinny in order to be happy and beautiful. I hope you can see through the shallow marketing.

I don’t however, see any big red flags other than the distasteful sales copy.

Aspire’s Money Back Guarantee

I was glad to see that Aspire offers a 90 day money back guarantee. Anything over 60 days in this industry is pretty good, so 90 days is a pretty solid guarantee.

I’m somewhat confused at something in their guarantee. Here’s what it says (emphasis added): “If you’re not happy with Aspire, contact us within 90 days of your purchase date and return the unused portion (even if you’ve used everything), and you’ll get a full refund (less shipping), no questions asked!”

The first part makes me believe that you can only get a refund for the unused (or unopened) bottles. But the second part in parenthesis makes it sound like you get a refund on all bottles, even if they were used (and are now empty).

I don’t have any big reason to believe that this ambiguous terminology isn’t intentionally trying to trick consumers, but If I were you I’d play it safe and only count on getting refunded for unused bottles.

Aspire’s Price

A one month supply is $49.97. If it’s effective, this isn’t a bad price for a weight loss product. Of course, they suggest you take it for 3 to 6 months (likely to pad their pockets a little more).

Conclusion

The Aspire weight loss product consist of a pretty good ingredient profile. Many of the ingredients have been proven, and some have not. Overall, as long as the ingredients are included in the correct amounts (which we can’t verify since they don’t disclose it) than it’s likely to be fairly effective. I like their guarantee and the price is decent. I don’t, however, like the manner in which they’ve marketed their product. You be the judge.

“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.

• “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.

Slenderful Ingredients

Thiamin (4mg)

Riboflavin (5 mg)

Niacin (13 mg)

Vitamin B6 (4 mg)

Folate (175 mcg)

Vitamin B12 (9 mcg)

Iodine (75 mcg)

Chromium (120 mcg)

Guggulipid

Gotu kola

DL-phenylalanine

Taurine

L-tyrosine

Octopamine

Polyphenolic extract of green coffee bean

Willow bark

ipriflavone

grape fruit extract 10:1

L-methionine

Yerba matte

Rhodiola rosea

Myo inositol

DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate)

Choline bitartrate

L-carnitine-L-tartrate

5-hydroxytryptophan

Alpha lipoic acid (antioxidant)

Uva ursi

Vanadyl nicotinate

Capsicum powder

Ginger

DIM

Sea kelp

This ingredient list is overwhelming. The long and short of it is only tyrosine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Not only that, Slenderful fails to list the amount of tyrosine it contains. To be effective at causing weight loss, tyrosine has to be taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Slenderful contains enough tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.

Slenderful Price

Slenderful diet pills cost $20.67 for 90 capsules (a one month supply). This is actually inexpensive for a diet pill. However, although Slenderful contains a few proven ingredients, they are included in an undisclosed amount, so any amount is too much to pay for Slenderful.

Slenderful Guarantee

The Slenderful website states, “You may return your purchase within 30 days of purchase for a refund or replacement. Just fill out the return section on your order’s packing slip and send it back to us in new condition!” This is their stealthy way of saying you can only return Slenderful if the package is not open. In other words, if you purchase only one package and use the product you can’t get your money back.

Slenderful Conclusion

This Slenderful review finds Slenderful is nothing more than a typical diet pill; it contains only one proven  ingredient in an undisclosed amount. Don’t bother with this product. It does not live up to any of its lofty claims. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.

Estrolean Ingredients

Phytoestrogen Hormonal Balancers:

Apple Extract (100 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.

Pomegranate Extract (standardized for 2% Estrone) (100 mg) is supposed to provide estrogen; it does not cause weight loss.

Sea Vegetable Extract (150 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Plant Based Enzymes:

Lipase

Protease

Amylase

Herbal Metabogenics:

Guarana Extract has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Estrolean does contain Yerba Mate, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Estrolean review finds the Guarana in Estrolean diet pills will not contribute to weight loss.

Green Tea Extract is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, Estrolean fails to list how much green tea it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.

Yerba 300 mg, Mate Extract (standardized for 66.6 mg caffeine) does contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Estrolean contains Guarana but not Damiana.

Ginger Root Extract (100 mg) has been shown to cal the stomach, but it does not cause weight loss.

Black Pepper Extract

Licorice

Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange) 66.6 mg (standardized for 4% synephrine)–Synephrine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. It is important to note the concentration of the synephrine included. Estrolean contains a 4 % concentration of synephrine. Ideally, you want to see a high concentration of synephrine. A 4% concentration of synephrine is not enough to contribute to weight loss.

Rhodiola rosea (50 mg) may help improve mood, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Rhododendron caucasicum Extract

Estrolean Cost

We found Estrolean diet pills online for as low as $16.49 per month. While this is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, the ingredients in Estrolean will not cause weight loss so any amount is too much for Estrolean.

Estrolean Guarantee?

Estrolean is manufactured by Bodyonics. Their website is not currently working. Thus, we found no guarantee listed through the manufacturer. Some websites do offer their own guarantee when you make a purchase. Given the ingredients in Estrolean (and that they hide how much green tea is contained), you would definitely need a guarantee with Estrolean diet pills. We are always concerned when the manufacturer’s website is not working.

Estrolean Conclusion

This Estrolean review finds Estrolean diet pills are not what you are looking for to fulfill your weight loss dreams. Estrolean does contain two proven ingredients (green tea and synephrine). However, they hide how much green tea is contained, and the concentration of synephrine is far too low to contribute to weight loss. We recommend looking for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the necessary 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.

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.

AccuSlim Ingredients

Chromium Chelavite (300 mcg) has been studied in many clinical trials. Results have been mixed; some have shown that chromium contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.

Vanadium (100 mcg) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Advantra-Z (600 mg) contains Synephrine, which contributes to weight loss. The important thing with synephrine is the concentration–the higher the better. Unfortunately, AccuSlim fails to disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Green tea (400 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. This AccuSlim review finds there is enough green tea in AccuSlim to contribute to weight loss. Green tea contains caffeine. Be sure to evaluate your own reaction to caffeine before taking AccuSlim diet pills.

Oriental ginseng (200 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice; however, more human research is needed.

American ginseng (200 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice; however, more human research is needed.

Eleuthero (250 mg) is supposed to increase endurance; it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Rhodiola Rosea (300 mg) is a “feel good” ingredient. It does not contribute to weight loss.

Garcinia Cambogia (1500 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss.

The AccuSlim website claims, “Designed to get even the most stubborn metabolisms moving, the ACCUSLIM™ Advanced Fat Burner contains some of the most well-known and most-effective—but hardly used— weight loss nutrients available today.” The only proven ingredients included in sufficient amounts are green tea and garcinia cambogia. Despite what AccuSlim claims, these ingredients are quite common and can be found for a much lower price.

AccuSlim Cost

AccuSlim costs $28.95 for 90 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 9 capsules per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. You can get the same results with a different diet pill for a fraction of the price.

AccuSlim Guarantee

The AccuSlim website says the following regarding their guarantee:

“Please call us during our normal business hours for return authorization prior to returning any merchandise. Merchandise must be returned in sellable condition in order to receive credit.

Credit will be issued for merchandise returned within 10 days of your receipt of shipment. A 15% restocking fee will be applied to returns after 10 days. Product returns cannot be accepted after 30 days. Orders returned without authorization are subject to 15% restock fee.”

This “guarantee” is ridiculous. The restocking fee should not be there, and they really should give more than 30 days to return the product.

AccuSlim Follies

I found some interesting things when looking at the AccuSlim website. One of their instructions is, “Do not snack after dinner.” Anyone who has ever tried to diet knows that is one of the main dieting rules. Why do they think that people need to diet (obviously because they have been snacking after dinner too much). If AccuSlim contained an appetite suppressant they wouldn’t have to make this statement.

Another folly is that, according to their website, AccuSlim “could be even more effective than Ephedra”. Don’t be fooled. If this were the truth, everyone would be buying AccuSlim. The science just doesn’t support this claim.

AccuSlim Conclusion

This AccuSlim review finds AccuSlim is really nothing special. True, it does contain green tea and garcinia cambogia in adequate amounts, but so do several other diet pills (and for much less cost). We recommend looking at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.

This Leptorexin review will look into their ingredients to see if it is all that they claim.

Leptorexin’s ingredient profile contains both quality, proven ingredients as well as some that aren’t likely to do much.  Often when we see a long list of ingredients such as this our first reaction is to assume that they aren’t able to fit enough of each ingredient in the pill to be effective.  With Leptorexin, however, this may or may not be the case.  They use proprietary blends, which is a big turnoff.  But the amounts of those blends (or at least a couple of the blends) appears to possibly be sufficient to be effective.  With all proprietary blends, however, it’s extremely difficult to give a solid answer as to its probable effectiveness.

Leptorexin Marketing

The first that we noticed is that Leptorexin looked incredibly familiar.  Well if you look at PatenTrim, you may feel the same way.  It looks like Leptorexin has copied many of the design features of PatenTrim.  I’m not sure what exactly their strategy was for such a move, but it’s possible that they are trying to borrow from some of PatenTrim’s credibility.

Aside from that, the website is quite open about the ingredients (although they do use proprietary blends) and has some basic details about most of them.  We like that.  They do, however, use the overly abused TV logos, trying to make you think that they’ve been featured on them.  That’s highly unlikely.

The Leptorexin Guarantee

They have a 100% lifetime money back guarantee.  You can only return unopened bottles, but this is still much better than almost all of the other guarantees out there.

Leptorexin Cost

For one bottle it’s $59.99.

Leptorexin Conclusion

The ingredient profile in Leptorexin contains a myriad of ingredients.  Some are good, some are mediocre.  We like their great guarantee and if the pill is effective, the price isn’t too bad.  It’s always hard to fully recommend something that uses proprietary blends, so Leptorexin gets a pretty average review.  There may be better solutions out there, but it is likely to help you lose weight.

NV Ingredients

Weight Loss Complex

Proprietary Blend 267 mg

Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Studies have found that for green to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Since there are only 267 mg total, this NV review finds it is impossible for NV diet pills to have enough green tea to be effective.

Hoodia gordonii, despite the claims made by countless diet pill companies as well as celebrities, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Theobromine is sometimes used as a diuretic. There is no proof that it contributes to weight loss.

Beauty Complex

Collagen is supposed to make skin look younger. Some diet pill companies claim it reduces body fat; there is no scientific evidence to back up this claim.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is needed by the body to produce energy. However, the body produces plenty of ALA, so you don’t need to supplement with it.

Silica may actually cause drying of the skin.

Biotin is Vitamin B-7.

Coenzyme Q10

Energy Complex

Taurine is often added to energy drinks. However, studies have shown it does NOT affect energy.

Ginseng has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice and rats, but more human studies need to be done to determine the effects on human weight loss.

Rhodiola Rosea may help improve mood.

The only clinically proven ingredient in NV diet pills is green tea. However, there is not enough green tea contained in NV to be effective in contributing to weight loss.

Thus, this NV review finds NV will not cause weight loss. You might experience skin improvements, but do not expect to lose weight by taking NV; you will only be disappointed.

NV Marketing

NV has employed Carmen Electra to be their spokesperson. Don’t be fooled; just because a celebrity endorses a product doesn’t mean it will actually work (look at hoodia, for example). The NV claims about weight loss are untrue; the science has proved them false.

NV Cost

NV diet pills cost $26.99 per month. While this is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, considering NV contains only ONE proven ingredient (green tea), and it is not included in a necessary amount, there is no reason to pay anything for NV diet pills. You will only be disappointed.

NV Guarantee

The NV website says nothing about a guarantee, which means there most likely isn’t one. This is just one more reason to stay away from NV.

NV Conclusion

This NV review finds this is a subpar product. It contains only ONE proven ingredient and it is not included in a necessary amount. NV cannot substantiate their claims; the science proves them wrong. Save yourself some time, money, and grief. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Phenterfein Ingredients

The Phenterfein website claims “We MAXED out how much of each ingredient we could legally and safely put into each serving.” The following is a list of ingredients found in Phenterfein diet pills.

Thiamin 5 mg
Pantothenic Acid 5 mg
Niacin 5 mg
Vitamin B-6 250 mcg
Vitamin B-12 20 mcg
Glucuronolactone 182.5 mg
L-Tyrosine 150 mg
Rhodiola Rosea 100 mg
L-Taurine 100 mg
Citrus Aurantium 10% extract 50 mg
Caffeine 100 mg
Octopamine hcl 50 mg
Evodia Extract 45 mg
Salvia Sclarea Extract 20 mg
Yohimbine 8% Extract 12.5 mg
Vinpocetine 3 mg

Thiamin, Pantothenic acid, Niacin, Vitamin B-6, and Vitamin B-12 all have healthy benefits, but none of them has been shown to contribute to weight loss.

L-Tyrosine is a clinically proven ingredient which contributes to weight loss. However, studies show that tyrosine is only effective at a dose of 500-1500 mg per day. This Phenterfein review finds there is not enough tyrosine in Phenterfein to be effective.

Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, which has been clinically proven to contribute to weight loss. With Synephrine, you want to look at the concentration–the higher the concentration the better. Unfortunately, Phenterfein fails to list the concentration of the Synephrine; thus, it is impossible to know if it will be effective.

Caffeine is another clinically proven ingredient. Studies have shown it is only effective in doses of 300 mg per day. Thus, again, there is not enough caffeine in Phenterfein to be effective.

Octopamine is very popular right now because it is supposed to mobilize the release of fat in fat cells. However, the fat is absorbed by other cells. There is no clinical research to show Octopamine contributes to weight loss.

Evodia causes weight loss in mice. No human research has been done.

Yohimbine contributes to weight loss by mobilizing fatty acid.

Vinpocetine is used to treat age-related memory problems. It does not contribute to weight loss.

Phenterfein Cost

You can get a bottle of 120 capsules of Phenterfein for $79.99 (which is supposedly a 50% savings). If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill, especially one that does not include enough of the proven ingredients to be effective. The Phenterfein website claims, “We have limited supplies of Phenterfein. This will be our last week of selling Phenterfein for 50% off.” I doubt this is true. You will probably find this same claim on the website next month.

Phenterfein Customer Service and Guarantee

The Phenterfein website is one of the most interesting diet pill websites I have seen yet (and that is saying A LOT)! They have typical outrageous claims and unbelievable testimonials. What makes the site so different is that there is NO contact information for the company. There is no phone number, email address, or company mailing address. So, of course, there is no guarantee for Phenterfein diet pills. That should be enough of a red flag by itself to keep anyone from buying Phenterfein.

Phenterfein Conclusion

This Phenterfein review finds that Phenterfein is all about appearance. They include several clinically proven ingredients, but they do not include enough of any ingredient to be effective. There is no guarantee and not even a way to contact the company. Don’t waste your time on Phenterfein. Check out our recommended diet pills to find one that might work for you.
