Colvera Ingredients

Collagen Hydrolysate (Protein) is an ingredient used commonly by diet pill companies who claim collagen will reduce body fat. There is no research to back up these claims.
Aloe Vera is sometimes used as a mild laxative. It helps in colon cleansing. However, it has not been
proven to directly contribute to weight loss.
Lecithin is supposed to break down fat and flush it out; there is no evidence to prove this.
Safflower Oil helps to regulate body functions by building prostaglandins. It does not contribute to weight loss.
Beeswax is used for the coating of the capsules. It does not contribute to weight loss.
Water
Gelatin, like Collagen, is supposed to reduce body fat and fine lines. Once again, there is no scientific evidence to prove these claims.
Glycerin is added for flavor. However, it does not contribute to weight loss.

You will notice that NONE of the ingredients in Colvera diet pills have been proven to be effective
in contributing to weight loss. On a more positive note, the ingredients in Colvera are all-natural. Too bad they fail to list how much of each ingredient they include.

Colvera Cost

Colvera diet pills cost $49.95 for a one month supply (with a discount for buying in bulk). Each bottle contains 90 capsules.

Colvera–No Guarantee

The Colvera website states, “No legitimate company can guarantee that their product will work for everyone. We do, however, guarantee that if you don’t take the product, you won’t lose the weight!”
This statement is ridiculous! Beware of any company that is unwilling to back up their own product. It should make you suspect of the product.

How to Take Colvera

According to the Colvera website, “You simply take 3 capsules before you go to bed on an empty stomach. This process allows Colvera™ to work more efficiently during the first 45 to 90 minutes of sleep while the body uses the available collagen and other vital nutrients during this time.”
Anyone who has tried dieting knows the biggest secret is avoiding evening and night snacking. So, going to bed on an empty stomach will help whether you take anything
or not. If you experience weight loss while taking Colvera diet pills, it is most likely because you are going to bed on an empty stomach and not because of Colvera.

Colvera Claims

Colvera wants you to believe they have a superior product because they do not include caffeine or stimulants. They claim, “Colvera™ is a natural Collagen Protein Formula, which works as a nutritional supplement that safely and naturally assists the body in shedding extra body fat, sugar, and toxins. What they don’t tell you is that none of the ingredients in Colvera have been proven o contribute to weight loss.

Colvera Conclusion

This Colvera review finds that Colvera will do nothing to help you lose weight. There is NO clinical
evidence showing that any of the ingredients in Colvera contribute to weight loss. If you are really
serious about losing weight, read through our recommended products to find one that includes
proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.

Calogel Ingredients

Calogel diet pills contain the following ingredients:

Collagen
Lecithin
Aloe Vera
Safflower Oil
Beeswax

Many diet pill companies claim collagen reduces body fat and erases fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately, clinical research has not been able to substantiate this claim; collagen has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Lecithin is supposed to break down fat and flush it out of the body. Once again, Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Aloe Vera is known for its healthy benefits. It is sometimes used as a mild laxative. The use of Aloe Vera for weight loss is mainly for colon cleansing.

Safflower Oil helps to regulate body functions by providing the material to build prostaglandins.

Beeswax is used for the casing of the Calogel gelcaps. Beeswax does not contribute to weight loss.

Calogel AM & PM Formulas–What is the difference?

Calogel has two formulas, the AM Formula and the PM Formula. There is NO difference in the ingredients contained in the two formulas. Since Calogel does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to determine if there is any difference in these two formulas. The only differentiation made between the AM and PM formulas is how they are taken.

The directions for the AM Formula are as follows:
“Take 3 gelcaps in the morning as soon as you get up and do not eat for one hour” (website).

The directions for the PM Formula are:
“You simply take 3 capsules before you go to bed on an empty stomach. This process allows Calogel™ to work more efficiently during the first 45 to 90 minutes of sleep while the body uses the available collagen and other vital nutrients during this time” (website).

You will notice that the basic direction for both formulas is not to eat when taking the diet pill. So, if you are seeing results from taking Calogel it is most likely because you are not eating right after waking up and you are going to bed with an empty stomach. There is NO evidence to show Calogel will cause weight loss; NONE of the ingredients in Calogel have been proven to directly cause weight loss.

Calogel–No Guarantee

The Calogel website states, “We do not offer returns or guarantees simply because we can not be with each person to make sure it is taken properly and taken each day. We do, however, guarantee that if you don’t take the product, you won’t lose the weight!. Remember Calogel has nearly a 90% success rate when used correctly” (website).

It is really unusual for a diet pill company not to have some sort of a guarantee. Any company that fails to back up their product is not worth buying from.

Calogel Cost

Calogel diet pills cost $98 for a combo pack including both the AM and PM formulas. This combo pack lasts one month. This Calogel review finds that this is much too expensive for Calogel diet pills. There is no proof that Calogel contributes to weight loss; don’t waste your money on it.

Calogel Conclusion

This Calogel review finds that Calogel may improve your fine lines and wrinkles, but it will not cause weight loss. There are no proven ingredients contained in Calogel diet pills. Save yourself some grief and look for a product with proven ingredients in proven amounts.

We’ll recap quickly what Tonalin does in relation to weight management:

Tonalin is not a stimulant.
Tonalin is a CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid in meat, eggs, cheese, milk, etc.
Tonalin (CLA) limits the uptake of dietary fat by your fat cells.

From our Tonalin Review:

“Conjugated Linoleic Acid Reduces Body Fat in Healthy Exercising Humans” – the gist of the study is that the CLA group saw a decrease in their body fat from 21.3% to 17.0% with a few pounds reduction in body weight. You may wonder why the body weight loss wasn’t more when their BFP dropped by 20%? The probable reason is that their lean muscle increased.

What are the ingredients in Tonalin XS-CLA by Nature’s Way?

Tonalin XS-CLA diet pills contain the following ingredients

Each capsule contains:
Calories 10
Calories from Fat 10
Total Fat 1 g
Safflower Seed Oil 1 g (1,000 mg)
Other ingredients: Gelatin (softgel), Glycerin, Purified Water, Caramel

1g of Tonalin (also known as linoleic acid, which is found in Safflower seed oil) is on the very high end for Tonalin dosage, which allows us to give Nature’s Way Tonalin XS-CLA a thumbs up in that regard.

How much does Tonalin XS-CLA cost?

You can get a bottle of 90 softgels for an average price of $25. If you take the recommended dose of three softgels per day, one bottle of Tonalin XS-CLA diet pills will last you a month. This is relatively inexpensive as far as diet pills go.

What does Tonalin XS-CLA do exactly?

According to the Nature’s Way website, you can expect Tonalin XS-CLA diet pills to do the following:

Boost weight loss
Decrease body fat
Increase muscle mass
Burn more calories when working out
Boost body’s immune system

Tonalin XS-CLA – Anything Else to Offer?

Tonalin XS-CLA, lacks some of the stimulants of other popular (and effective) weight loss pills. But this may a be a good thing for those looking for a stimulant free solution to weight loss.

Tonalin XS-CLA Conclusion

This Tonalin XS-CLA review likes that Nature’s Way was aggressive in the dosage amount of Tonalin in Tonalin XS-CLA. Being that it doesn’t contain stimulants, Tolanlin XS-CLA is a good option for those that don’t fair well with caffeine or other stimulantds.

A closer look at Tonalin

What ingredients are included in Tonalin XS-CLA diet pills?

The ingredients in Tonalin XS-CLA by NSI are as follows

Supplement Facts
Serving Size: 1 Softgel
Servings per Container: 120
Amount Per Serving % Daily Value
Calories 9
Calories from Fat 9
Total Fat 1 g 2%
Saturated Fat 0 g 0%

Cis-9, Trans-11 Isomer 390 mg
Trans-10, Cis-12 Isomer 390 mg
*Daily value not established.
Other Ingredients: Gelatin, glycerin, and caramel (natural color).

Nearly 2g of Tonalin (CLA) is on the very high end for Tonalin dosage, which allows us to give NSI’s Tonalin XS-CLA a thumbs up in that regard.

Polyunsaturated fat lowers levels of total and LDL cholesterol in the blood but has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

How much does Tonalin XS-CLA by NSI cost?

A bottle of 120 softgels will cost you around $11.99. If you take the recommended dose of three softgels per day, one bottle will last 40 days. This ends up being about 30 cents per day. This is EXTREMELY inexpensive for a diet pill.

Tonalin XS-CLA conclusion

This Tonalin XS-CLA review finds that Tonalin XS-CLA diet pills do contain a high amount of Tonalin (CLA), which can contribute to weight loss. Some added thermogenics might be welcomed, but those that are looking for a stimulant free solution to weight loss, CLA may be something to look into.

Ultra 90’s Ingredients

Marine Collagen Protein & Gelatin—Many diet pill companies claim collagen gelatin helps reduce body fat and erases fine lines and wrinkles. However, research has not shown any significant weight loss due to this ingredient.

Aloe Vera’s health benefits are uncontested and it’s used as a mild laxative with moderate success. The use of Aloe Vera for weight loss is mainly for colon cleansing.

Vitamin C has healthy benefits but does not contribute to weight loss

Safflower Oil provides the material to build prostaglandins, which help to regulate body functions

Glycerin is added to Ultra 90 for flavor; it does not contribute to weight loss

Bees Wax is used as the casing for the Ultra 90 capsules; it does not aid in weight loss

Lecithin, according to Ultra 90, helps to break down fat and flush it out of the body. Research does not support this claim. Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Ultra 90 does not disclose how much of each ingredient is contained in each capsule.

On a positive note, Ultra 90 does not contain any stimulants such as caffeine (see our review of caffeine here, it’s actually quite effective for weight loss), ephedrine, or amphetamines, which may be important if your body is sensitive to these types of ingredients. The ingredients are all natural and there are no known side effects.

Ultra 90’s Claims are Unfounded

Ultra 90 claims that the combination of these ingredients will bring weight loss, increased muscle, and decreased fine lines and wrinkles. Research does not support any of these claims. In fact, collagen protein is one of the main ingredients in Jell-O. Maybe you should save yourself some money and eat Jell-O instead; it would have the same effect.

Ultra 90’s Gimmicky AM/PM Formulations

Unlike some other diet pills, Ultra 90 gives you the option of an AM and a PM formula. They contain the same ingredients. For the AM formula, take three capsules first thing in the morning and don’t eat for at least an hour. For the PM formula, stop eating and drinking three hours before bed, then take three capsules with water and go to bed. Well, the those three hours before bed are considered to be the most likely snack time of the day.

In reality, Ultra 90 is just reducing your calories by keeping you from eating during the evening hours. In order to trick customers out of even more money, the Ultra 90 website recommends taking both the AM and PM formulas to expedite and increase weight loss. To reiterate — the AM and PM formulations are the exact same. This is just a marketing trick akin to Leoptoprin and Leptopril (whose maker/marketer we openly despise).

Ultra 90 Does Not Offer a Moneyback Guarantee

And for good reason. If they did, they’d have a lot of people taking them up on it. They claim that they don’t accept returns because their product is perishable. That’s funny (in a sarcastic, amused sort of way), because there are plenty of upstanding companies that will accept returns on perishable goods. We find the fact that there is no guarantee to be very disturbing — especially when combined with the fact that not one of their ingredients has been proven to aid in weight loss to any significant degree.

Ultra 90 Review in Conclusion

This product is misleading to consumers. Ultra 90 claims the product does not trick the body into weight loss, but in fact, the product does not yield significant weight loss in itself. If Ultra 90 users are seeing weight loss it is likely due to the decrease in calories because they are not eating during the hours of taking the supplement. Few, if any, of the claims made by Ultra 90 have been proven. The product is expensive, especially considering taking both the AM and PM formulas together is recommended, making the supplements twice as expensive to take. This product is like any other collagen protein product–spend your money somewhere else.
