<p>Zenalean Pro is a diet pill that is supposed to melt the pounds away. It includes several powerful ingredients, but the possible dangers outweigh the benefits. This Zenalean Pro review will reveal the truth behind Zenalean diet pills to help you determine if this is the right diet pill option for you.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana Extract</a> (standardized to 200 mg of caffeine) (400 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Unfortunately, Zenalean Pro does not contain either of these other two ingredients. Therefore, this Zenalean Pro review finds the Guarana in Zenalean Pro will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Sida Cordifolia Extract (350 mg) is often used to treat a variety of illnesses including cough and flu. However, Sida Cordifolia does contain ephedrine. Ephedrine (also known as ephedra) is a very effective diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, it has very serious side effects (including death) and has been banned by the FDA. Before you consider taking Zenalean Pro diet pills, be sure you understand the possible side effects associated with using ephedrine.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (standardized to 5 mg of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">synephrine</a>) (45 mg) is another proven diet pill ingredient. When looking at synephrine it is important to notice the concentration included. Zenalean Pro does not state the concentration of synephrine it includes; therefore, it is impossible for this Zenalean Pro review to determine if the synephrine in Zenalean Pro diet pills is sufficient to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 100 mg</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract is an anti-inflammatory; there is no evidence to show it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Obviously, there is not enough L-Tyrosine in Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger Root</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Extract does contribute to weight loss when taken  in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since the proprietary blend contains only 100 mg, it is impossible for you to get enough green tea from Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Cost</h3>
<p>We found Zenalean Pro diet pills online for as little as $34.95 per month. Each bottle contains 120 capsules. This is relatively inexpensive as diet pills go, but considering the possible serious side effects, it is still too much to pay for Zenalean Pro.</p>
<h3>How to take Zenalean Pro</h3>
<p>You are supposed to take one capsule per day for 30 days and then take 60 days off. It is concerning that they give you 120 capsules in one bottle when you should go through that many capsules in a year if you are taking them correctly. If you decide to take Zenalean Pro, DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE PILL PER DAY.</p>
<h3>Who makes Zenalean Pro?</h3>
<p>Zenalean Pro was made by Fast Action Pharma, which is now Nutra Costal. Zenalean Pro is not found on the Nutra Costal website. We emailed the company (they give no phone number) to ask if they still make or distribute Zenalean Pro, but we are yet to get a response. You can purchase Zenalean Pro from a number of online retailers. You might be able to get a refund if you purchase Zenalean Pro and don&#8217;t like it, but it is unlikely you will get a refund from the manufacturer.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Zenalean Pro review finds that Zenalean Pro could very well be an effective diet pill. However, with the inclusion of ephedrine, the benefits are not worth the possible risks. If you are serious about losing weight, check out our recommended products.</p>

This Lipodrene review will explore the ingredients in Lipodrene and reveal the truth behind Lipodrene&#8217;s claims.</p>
<h2>Lipodrene Ingredients</h2>
<p>Lipodrene contains the following ingredients in a proprietary blend (they do not disclose how much of<br />
each ingredient is included):</p>
<p>Sida Cordifolia Extract (leaves) (supplying 25mg)<br />
Citrus Aurantium 10% (fruit)<br />
U.S.P. <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine</a> 100mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-Hydroxytrptophan</a><br />
5-Methoxytryptamine<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> Extract (leaves)<br />
Cassia Nomame (whole plant)<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia</a> 12:1 Extract (Cactus)<br />
Yohimbe 8% Extact (bark)<br />
Naringen (fruit).</p>
<p>Sida Cordifolia has been used for centuries to treat various health issues including asthma, flu,<br />
and cough. However, the stem of the Sida Cordifolia plant contains high levels of Ephedrine, which has been banned in the U.S. Although the Lipodrene website does not list Ephedrine as an ingredient, it is very possible that Ephedrine is included as part of the Sida Cordifolia Extract. There is no clinical<br />
evidence to show the effectiveness of Sida Cordifolia in weight loss.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium contains synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However,<br />
Lipodrene fails to disclose the amount of citrus aurantium contained in their formula, so there is no way for this Lipodrene review to determine the effectiveness of citrus aurantium in Lipodrene diet pills.</p>
<p>Caffeine is a great ingredient in contributing to weight loss. However, you should be aware of your<br />
personal reactions to caffeine before taking Lipodrene or any product containing caffeine. Unfortunately, once again Lipodrene fails to tell you how much caffeine it contains so you won&#8217;t know whether it will be effective or not.</p>
<p>5-Hydroxytrptophan (also known as 5-HTP)is an amino acid included in diet pills for its mood enhancing effects. While studies have shown 5-HTP does enhance mood, studies have not shown what the side effects of 5-HTP are.</p>
<p>Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. However, Lipodrene fails to list how much green tea is contained in their &#8220;proprietary blend&#8221;.</p>
<p>Cassia Nomame is supposed to be a lipase inhibitor. Unfortunately, the only studies showing weight loss due to Cassia Nomame tested rats; studies have not been done on humans.</p>
<p>Hoodia is simply an overhyped waste of money. There is NO clinical evidence to prove that Hoodia actually contributes to weight loss. Don&#8217;t be fooled by outrageous claims&#8211;Hoodia is not worth your money.</p>
<p>Yohimbe, in addition to contributing to fatty acid mobilization, is also used to treat erectile dysfunction.</p>
<p>The Lipodrene diet pills sold on the Lipodrene website do not list ephedrine as an ingredient. However,<br />
many websites are selling the older version of Lipodrene diet pills, which do list ephedrine as an ingredient.</p>
<h2>Lipodrene Marketing</h2>
<p>Lipodrene makes several interesting claims which they fail to back up. The Lipodrene website talks<br />
about clinical studies done on Lipodrene. However, they do not mention who performed these studies,<br />
when they were performed, or where/if the results are published anywhere.</p>
<p>Lipodrene offers a &#8220;Risk free trial&#8221;. They claim, &#8220;We are the Only Company Online that Offers this (RISK FREE TRIAL)&#8221; (website). The truth is there are several diet pill companies that offer almost exactly the same trial offer.</p>
<p>The Lipodrene trial offer says, &#8220;Simply try our product for at least 30 days. If you are not completely<br />
satisfied &#8211; for any reason &#8211; return the product to us within 90 days for a complete refund less<br />
shipping/handling fees&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>We do like that Lipodrene gives 90 days for customers to return products. We also like that Lipodrene<br />
allows customers to return open bottles.</p>
<h2>Lipodrene Cost</h2>
<p>Lipodrene diet pills cost $39.95 for 100 tablets. If you take the recommended 2 tablets per day,<br />
one bottle will last 50 days. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since Lipodrene<br />
does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included in their formula, it is impossible to determine how effective Lipodrene will be. Thus, any amount is too expensive for Lipodrene.</p>
<h2>Lipodrene Conclusion</h2>
<p>This Lipodrene review finds that Lipodrene diet pills are not worth the money. While they do contain<br />
several proven diet pill ingredients, Lipodrene fails to disclose how much of each ingredient they<br />
include in their blend. We recommend you look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in<br />
proven amounts.</p>
