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.

• “Help accelerate calorie burning with diet & exercise

• Increase metabolic rate

• Control appetite and boost energy” (website).

While SlimBody XP makes bold claims, they fail to back them up. They include proven ingredients in a proprietary blend, hiding how much of each ingredient is included.

SlimBody XP Ingredients

Vitamin E (6IU) is good for overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Magnesium (75 mg) has healthy benefits, but it does not cause weight loss.

Zinc (6 mg) is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Chromium Picolinate (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have found chromium contributes to weight loss while other studies have shown it does not.

SlimBody XP Proprietary Blend

Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. SlimBody XP does contain Damiana, but it does not contain Yerba Mate. Thus, this SlimBody XP review finds the Guarana in SlimBody XP will not contribute to weight loss.

Bee Pollen does not contribute to weight loss.

Korean Ginseng has not been shown to cause weight loss in humans.

Ginger Root is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.

Lecithin supposedly breaks down fat. However, research does not back these claims.

Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. This makes it impossible for this SlimBody XP review to determine if there is enough caffeine in SlimBody XP diet pills to contribute to weight loss.

Bitter Orange contains Synephrine, a clinically proven ingredient. The most important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration. The higher the concentration of Synephrine the more effective it is in contributing to weight loss. Again, SlimBody XP fails to disclose the concentration of Synephrine contained.

Green Tea is another proven ingredient. Since green tea is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no way of knowing if there is enough contained in SlimBody XP diet pills to cause weight loss.

Cayenne Pepper improves digestion. More research is needed to determine the effect of Cayenne on weight loss.

Damiana causes weight loss when combined with Guarana and Yerba Mate. SlimBody XP contains Guarana but not Yerba Mate.

Goldenseal Leaf

Royal Jelly

SlimBody XP Cost

SlimBody XP diet pills cost $39.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. Since SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much of the proven ingredients are included, any amount is too much to pay for SlimBody XP.

SlimBody XP Guarantee

SlimBody XP offers a 30 day guarantee. They give a full refund or 150% product credit for returns. Be sure you will need the guarantee if you buy SlimBody XP.

SlimBody XP Conclusion

This SlimBody XP review finds SlimBody XP is not worth your time or money. It is typical of so many diet pills; SlimBody XP hides the amount of proven ingredients included, most likely because they include very small amounts of each ingredient. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary 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.

What are the ingredients in Anatrim?

According to the Anatrim website, the ingredients are as follows

• Anatrim 200mg
• Garcinia Cambogia PE 100mg
• Ginger Root Powder 50mg
• Dandelion Root Powder 50mg
• Green Tea PE 50mg
• Spirulina 50mg

The Anatrim website says,

“Anatrim gordonii is the botanical name for a cactus like plant that grows in Southern Africa.”

Search this ingredient online and you will find it does not exist. This is a fairly blatant attempt to disguise Hoodia gordonii. (Which is interesting since Hoodia is such a hugely popular ingredient right now). There is no record of Anatrim gordonii existing, and research does not support the claims that Hoodia gordonni is successful in contributing to weight loss. Just to reiterate: Hoodia Gordonii has absolutely no research to back its claims.

Garcinia Cambogia’s primary active compound is Hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The long and short of it is that HCA has research backing it as an effective weight loss ingredient. While it probably shouldn’t be the only ingredient in a diet pill, it’s a great player.

There is no scientific proof that ginger root powder, dandelion root powder, or spirulina make any contribution to human weight loss.

Green tea has been researched and has proven to be effective in contributing to weight loss. However, the amount of green tea contained in Anatrim diet pills, a mere 50mg, is not enough to be effective.

Anatrim’s Marketing

Anatrim primarily markets through SPAM email. If this were a superior product, would they have to market it through illegal emails? The website that promotes and sells Anatrim diet pills (http://www.fatlossblend.com/index.php) lists no information on the manufacturer. There is no customer service email or phone number. They make bold claims but there is no guarantee. This is a huge red flag and smells like a scam everywhere we turn.

The website makes the following claims:

• Anatrim helps attack overweight
• Makes appetite go away like no other weight loss product does
• It’s made up of 100% natural and safe ingredients
• It’s a completely pure and unprocessed, all the ingredients are useful, no fillers
• It insures safe, quick fat loss
• Anatrim weight loss pills go without Caffeine or Ephedra!
• You can easily add it to your diets
• Help you to make your overweight vanish and get a new figure!
• Makes you feel and look gorgeous!

*Note: Green tea does contain caffeine.

How much does Anatrim cost?

One bottle of Anatrim costs $74.95 (on sale) and lasts one month. This Anatrim review finds that this is extremely expensive considering there are no proven ingredients at their clinical dosage (or even close).

Anatrim conclusion

Anatrim is manufactured and marketed by a shady company, whoever they may be. The ingredient Anatrim gordonii does not exist. Everything about this product is sketchy. This Anatrim review finds that you should stay away from this product! Go with a diet pill that tells you who makes it, for starters.
