Slimvia Ingredients

Viaplex 636 mg

A proprietary herbal blend that suppresses appetite and reduces cravings.

L-Carnitine 7 mg

Vitamin C (1 mg) is healthy, but it does not cause weight loss.

Vitamin E (2 iu) does not cause weight loss.

Vitamin B1 (1 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Vitamin B2 (1 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Choline 2 mg

Chromium Picolinate (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.

Ginger root

Spirulina

Uncaria Surinamensis

Lepidium Peruvianum

Capim Doce

Gelatin

Magnesium Stearate

Silica

Ascorbic Acid

Thiamine Mononitrate

Choline Bitartrate

Vitamin E Succianate

Cyanocobolamine

This exhaustive ingredient list should not impress you. It is simply a bunch of ineffective ingredients. There is no reason to believe Slimvia will actually cause weight loss.

Slimvia Guarantee

Slimvia has a 90 day guarantee. You can return Slimvia even if you have used some of it (lots of diet pill companies accept only unopened packages). Slimvia does not charge any restocking fees for returns. This guarantee policy actually seems pretty good. Too bad the product does not work, so you will need to use the guarantee if you choose to try Slimvia diet pills.

Slimvia Cost

Slimvia offers a couple options. You can choose a 2 week supply of Slimvia for $24.99 or a one month supply for $59.99 (it would make more sense to buy two 2 week supplies because it would be cheaper). No matter which option you choose, you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you more product and charge your credit card for it). We never like autoship; you should be able to choose when you do (or don’t) want to receive more product.

Slimvia Conclusion

This Slimvia review finds that Slimvia diet pills will do nothing for weight loss. There are no proven ingredients in Slimvia. Although the Slimvia guarantee policy seems sound, it doesn’t matter since the product doesn’t actually work. Go with a product that actually includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Our recommended products are some good options.

Slimage Ingredients

Vitamin A (5000 IU) is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin C (240 mg) has healthy benefits but does not cause weight loss.

Vitamin E (30 IU) is also important to health, but there is nothing to suggest it contributes to weight loss.

Biotin (Vitamin B7) (1250 mcg) provides necessary nutrients, but it does not cause weight loss.

Weight Loss Complex 611 mg

Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only taken used in doses of 300 mg or more daily. With a total of 611 mg in the Weight Loss Complex, it is extremely unlikely that Slimage diet pills contain enough green tea to contribute to weight loss.

Caffeine also contributes to weight loss. Once again, Slimage hides how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible for this Slimage review to determine if there is enough caffeine to cause weight loss.

Oolong tea has been shown to increase metabolism (probably due to the caffeine it contains). There is no listing of how much Oolong tea Slimage contains.

White tea

Lagerstroemia Speciosa is also known as banaba; it has been shown to cause weight loss. Unfortunately, Slimage does not say how much Lagerstroemia Speciosa it contains.

Pure South African Hoodia does nothing for weight loss. Don’t be swayed by the sensational claims from diet pill companies or the endorsements from celebrities; the science just doesn’t support hoodia as a valid weight loss ingredient.

Slimaluma contains Caralluma Fimbriata Extract, which is supposedly an appetite suppressant. More research is needed on Caralluma Fimbriata.

Age-defying Complex 484 mg

Vitamin C

Bilberry

Vitamin E

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is needed to produce energy. However, your body makes plenty of ALA; you do not need to supplement with it.

Collagen is supposed to leave skin looking younger; despite what some diet pill companies claim, collagen has no effect on weight loss.

Silica can actually cause skin to dry out.

Grape seed

Lycopene

Lingonberry

Coenzyme Q10 is included in many beauty products; it does not cause weight loss.

Vitamin A

Biotin

You will notice Slimage does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, they hide how much of each ingredient is included (likely because there are only trace amounts of each ingredient). Don’t waste your time on this product; it will not cause weight loss.

Slimage Cost

Slimage diet pills cost $29.99 for 120 caplets. If you take the recommended 4 caplets per day, one bottle will last about a month. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill. However, there is no reason to believe Slimage will actually give you weight loss results, so any amount is too much to pay for Slimage.

Slimage Guarantee

Slimage is made by NX labs. NX Labs does give refunds for some of their other products, but their website doesn’t mention anything about a guarantee for Slimage (which means there probably isn’t one). We have learned that companies who are unwilling to back up their product often have something to hide.

Slimage Conclusion

This Slimage review finds that Slimage will do nothing for your weight loss efforts. While it does contain several proven ingredients, it fails to mention how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to determine how effective it will be at causing weight loss. Look for a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts; you will be glad you did.

Size 0 Ingredients

Weight Loss Support Blend 785 mg (Thermogenic/Metabolic Accelerator)

Caffeine Anhydrous is merely dried caffeine. It has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since Size 0 includes caffeine anhydrous in a proprietary blend, there is no way to know if there is enough to be effective.

Green Tea Extract has also been proven to contribute to weight loss. For green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. It is very unlikely that there is enough green tea in Size 0 diet pills to contribute to weight loss.

Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Guarana. Size 0 does not contain Damiana or Guarana.

Green Coffee Bean Extract inhibits weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.

Cordia Salisifolia Extract (Cha de Bugre) Although cordia salisifolia is included in many diet pills, there is no scientific evidence that it actually contributes to weight loss.

Cocoa Extract is a feel-good ingredient; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Taurine is often added to energy drinks, but studies have shown it has no effect on energy levels.

Citrus Naringin

Appetite Support Complex 17 mg (Food Craving Support Nutrients)

Hoodia Gordonii DOES NOT contribute to weight loss, although many diet pill companies claim it does.

Smithin Jojoba Seed Extract

Griffoniosimplicifolia Seed Extract

Beauty Support Blend 11 mg (Hair, Skin and Nails Nutrients)

Horsetail Leaf Extract

Hyaluronic Acid

Collagen, according to many diet pill companies, is supposed to reduce body fat. However, studies have not been able to prove this theory.

Choline is supposed to reduce body fat (according to diet pill companies), but science has not proven it.

Silica

Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. Size 0 does not list how much Inositol it contains.

Biotin is Vitamin B-7; it does not contribute to weight loss.

L-Cyctione

L-Methionine helps break down fats. You should not supplement with Methionine unless your doctor directs you to do so.

Coenzyme Q10

Chamomile Flower Leaf Extract

Estrogen Support Complex 4 mg (Hormonal Balancing Nutrients)

Choste Tree Berry

Daidzen

Dong Quai Root

Vitex Agnus Costus

Don’t be impressed or overwhelmed by the long list of ingredients included in Size 0. It merely means they have put in a VERY small amount of each ingredient. Size 0 does include a few proven ingredients, but odds are there is not enough of any ingredient to contribute to weight loss.

Size 0 Cost

A one month supply of Size 0 diet pills costs $49.95. This is extremely expensive, especially since Size 0 fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to predict how effective Size 0 will be.

Size 0 Guarantee

Size 0 has a 6 month guarantee policy. You can even return open bottles (although if you have used more than half the bottle they will only refund the amount of the unused portion). This seems like a pretty good guarantee.

Size 0 Marketing

The Size 0 website is incomplete. They claim they have made a “scientific breakthrough.” However, under the section titled “Size 0 Science”, there is no information. I would be interested to see what research they cite, since all the research we have seen (which is a considerable amount) says there is no possible way the proven ingredients in Size 0 could have been included in adequate amounts to contribute to weight loss.

It is interesting that Size 0 is enticing people to get back their “sexy, youthful figure” when they use what looks like a teenage model. Do they really expect people to believe they will look like the model if they use Size 0 (because the only way to get your body looking like the model’s is to go back in time)?

Size 0 Conclusion

This Size 0 review finds Size 0 diet pills are nothing out of the ordinary; they include a few proven ingredients, but not in large enough amounts to actually cause weight loss. Don’t waste your time on pills like these. Find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in appropriate amounts.

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.

What are the ingredients in CreVax?

The following ingredients are contained in 2 capsules of CreVax.

Amount in 2 capsules

• Taurine 300 mg
• Guarana Seed Extract (50% Caffeine) 200 mg
• Caffeine 200 mg
• Green Tea Leaf Extract 160 mg
• Silica 16 mg
• Gynostemma pentaphyllum standardized extract (whole plant) 10 mg
• Salvia miltiorrhiza root 10 mg
• Lycium chinense fruit extract 10 mg
• Peony root extract 10 mg
• Magnesium stearate 10 mg
• Hoodia gordonni 20:1 extract (aerial parts) 6 mg

Taurine is an organic acid that helps generate nerve impulses. It is often added to energy drinks; studies have shown it does not affect energy.

Guarana has been proven to contribute to weight loss but ONLY when combined with damiana and yerba mate. CreVax does not contain either of these ingredients. There has been no research to determine the effectiveness of guarana by itself.

Caffeine is an ingredient proven to increase metabolic rate. Consider your own reaction to caffeine before taking any supplement with caffeine in the formula.

Green tea has been proven to promote weight loss. However, you need at least 300 mg of green tea per day for it to be effective; the formula in CreVax does not include enough green tea.

Hoodia gordonni is an overhyped ingredient which is taking the diet world by storm. There is no research to prove that hoodia makes any contribution to weight loss. It will probably go down in history as one of the greatest fad diet pill ingredients ever created (no thanks to Oprah’s blind endorsement).

This CreVax review finds that none of the ingredients in CreVax (in the amounts included) are effective in promoting weight loss.

What is the dosage for CreVax?

The following instructions come directly from the CreVax website

Days 1, 2, and 3 – Take 2 capsules each morning before breakfast.
Day 4 – Take 1 capsule before breakfast.
Day 5, 6 – Do not take any capsules on these days. This break is essential to maximize your body’s metabolism and weight loss.

On the following day, which will be the seventh day – repeat the cycle, starting at day 1.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules, which will last 50 days.

How much does CreVax cost?

One bottle of CreVax diet pills (a 50-day supply) costs $69.95, with a discount if you buy in bulk. With the regular price, you will be paying about $1.40 per day (assuming you use all 50 days’ worth). This is relatively inexpensive as diet pills go, but considering they don’t include any proven ingredients in proven amounts, you might as well throw your money away.

Does CreVax have a guarantee?

CreVax boasts a 30 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee! However, they only accept bottles that are “undamaged.” In other words, you can only return unopened bottles. So, if after a week (or a day) you decide you want your money back, you are out of luck, unless you have been weaseled into buying more than one bottle

CreVax conclusion

This CreVax review finds that CreVax is just another gimmicky diet pill trying to get your money. Any diet pill that claims to help you lose double digit pounds in one week is suspect. Try using a diet pill that uses proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Ingredients Found in Proactol

The ingredients in Proactol are listed below:

• Opuntia ficus-indica
• Microcrystalline cellulose Binder 153.50 mg
• Calcium hydrogen phosphate
• dihydrate Filler/Flow agent 21.00 mg
• Silica Flow agent 7.00 mg
• Povidone Disintegrant 25.50 mg
• Magnesium stearate Separating agent 8.00 mg

The main ingredient has, in fact, been proven to decrease body fat by nearly 28 percent. ((http://www.proactol.com/pdf/Pilot_Clinical_Study.pdf))

What are the Experts Saying About Proactol?

Unlike most other weight loss supplements which have no legitimate backing, Proactol is endorsed by several well respected health professionals ((We recognize that doctors are paid for endorsements, but I would stick my neck out there and say that an endorsement is better than no endorsement at all.)). Dr. Adam Carey, leading nutritionist and nutritional adviser to both the England rugby and cricket teams comments:

“Being overweight has a huge impact on our health, yet levels of obesity continue to escalate and we are failing to do anything about it. This new treatment, called Proactol™, could provide a kick start for those who find it hard take control of their weight.”

“Taken after food, Proactol™, made of non-soluble and soluble fibres, immediately attaches to fats found floating on the surface of the stomach. This creates a fat-fibre complex that is too large to be absorbed in the small intestine, allowing the fat to pass naturally through the body.”

Dr. J Gruenwald, a respected medical scientist, stated,

“It is…encouraging to see that a product like Proactol™ offers a healthy way of making it easier to take charge of your weight and eating habits. It also addressing issues beyond weight management, such as lowering cholesterol and balancing blood glucose fluctuations.”

So What is the Downside to Proactol?

Maybe you are thinking what I thought when I first started researching Proactol–it is too good to be true. There are some things you should be aware of.

The Proactol website says, “You are no longer anxious about the odd unhealthy treat now and again, because you know that Proactol™ will absorb up to 28% of the fat in anything you eat.”

Proactol has been proven to aid in weight loss, but taking it should not be used as an excuse to eat poorly. The absorption of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K could be affected by Proactol. These vitamins could be depleted due to the nature of Proactol. While the Proactol website claims Proactol will not cause loss of these vitamins, it also recommends taking vitamin supplements when taking Proactol.

Proactol’s Money Back Guarantee

While the Proactol website touts a full money back guarantee, the fine print reveals that it is not as simple as it is made out to be. There are several requirements in order to actually get a refund. You have to take Proactol for at least 120 days before requesting a refund. In addition, you must contact Proactol customer support “for help and advice on how to get the maximum benefits from taking Proactol.” After these steps, you must return the empty packages of Proactol as well as any unopened packages. Proactol also issues this warning, “If your refund request does not meet all the requirements you will not be refunded.”

Proactol Research findings

Proactol has been shown to improve levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) ((http://www.neopuntia.com/neopuntia-efficiency-studies-tno-cern.php#clinical2006))

Participants who took Proactol in clinical trials showed a decrease in blood pressure, cholesterol, heart problems, and diabetes. ((http://www.proactol.com/medicallybacked.html))

Proactol Review Conclusion

Proactol does have legitimate proof of its efficacy. There are no known side effects to Proactol; however, no one really knows what the long term effects may be. We recommend Proactol with the recommendation to take a vitamin supplement and regulate caloric intake. Proactol is a safe and effective weight loss supplement.
