MeltRX 24 Ultra Ingredients

Thiamin
Niacin
Vitamin B6
Folate
Vitamin B12
Biotin
Pantothenic Acid
Calcium
Iodine
Magnesium
Zinc
Copper
Chromium has shown varying results in clinical trials; some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss while others have shown the opposite.

Green tea is an excellent diet pill. It has to be used in doses of 300 mg or more per day in order to be effective at causing weight loss. Unfortunately, MeltRX 24 Ultra fails to list how much Green tea it contains, making it impossible for this MeltRX 24 Ultra review to determine if there is enough Green tea in MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills to contribute to weight loss.
Cinnamon
Ginger root
Ginko Biloba supports memory function, but it does not contribute to weight loss.

Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, recent reports from the FDA show HCA may be linked to serious health concerns for the liver. Therefore, we cannot endorse a product containing HCA.

L-Tyrosine has been shown to help increase focus during stressful periods. It does cause weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. Again, MeltRX 24 Ultra does not say how much L-Tyrosine it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.

L-Glutamine is produced naturally by the body. It is unlikely that you would need to supplement with L-Glutamine because your body produces as much as it needs.
Lecithin

You will note that MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills do contain a few proven diet pill ingredients. However, it does not reveal how much of each ingredient it contains. Additionally, MeltRX 24 Ultra contains HCA, which can cause liver problems. Therefore, we cannot recommend MeltRX 24 Ultra.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Price

MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills cost $54 for a 13 day supply, with a discount for buying in bulk. This is WAY too much to pay for this product. There is no reason to believe MeltRX 24 Ultra will actually cause weight loss, and considering the possible danger of HCA, you shouldn’t bother even trying MeltRX 24 Ultra.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Guarantee

MeltRX 24 Ultra has a 30 day, 110% money back guarantee. Although we do like to see a guarantee, 30 days is not enough time to know whether or not a diet pill will actually work. We prefer to see a 90 day guarantee.

MeltRX 24 Ultra Conclusion

This MeltRX 24 Ultra review finds this product is potentially dangerous, and there is no reason to believe it will really cause weight loss. It is also way too expensive. If you are really interested in losing weight, go with a product that includes ingredients that have been clinically proven, ingredients that will not be dangerous to your health.

“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.

Slenderful Ingredients

Thiamin (4mg)

Riboflavin (5 mg)

Niacin (13 mg)

Vitamin B6 (4 mg)

Folate (175 mcg)

Vitamin B12 (9 mcg)

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.

Suvaril Ingredients

Vitamin A (2500 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin C (40 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin D (200 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin E (15 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Thiamin (0.75 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Riboflavin (0.85 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Niacin (10 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Folic Acid (200 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Vitamin B12 (3 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Biotin (150 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Calcium (50 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Magnesium (25 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.

Chromium Picolinate (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.

Suvaril Proprietary Blend (472 mg)

Green tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Unfortunately, Suvaril fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Suvaril review to determine if there is enough green tea in Suvaril diet pills to be effective.

Grape seed

Vanadium does not contribute to weight loss.

Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Again, Suvaril does not say how much banaba it contains.

L-Theanine reduces stress levels; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Suvaril Free Sample

Suvaril offers a free 30 day sample. The catch is that when you sign up for the free sample you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you the product and charge your credit card for it). You will be charged $69.90 for a 60 day supply.

Suvaril Price

If you choose to buy Suvaril diet pills and don’t want to enroll in autoship, you will pay $49.95 for a one month supply. This is way too expensive for this product. Suvaril contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and banaba), and it does not say how much of each ingredient is included.

Suvaril Guarantee

Suvaril offers a 60 day refund on unopened bottles only. This is good for Suvaril because you have to buy more than one bottle in order to get a refund (since you cannot return opened bottles).

Suvaril Conclusion

Suvaril diet pills might cause weight loss, but it might not. Since Suvaril hides how much of each proven ingredient it contains, there is no way of knowing if Suvaril will actually work. And, since you cannot return an unopened bottle, you will be spending nearly $100 to see if it will work. That seems like too much to gamble on this product. Instead, this Suvaril review recommends using a diet pill containing clinically proven ingredients in the necessary 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.

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.

We will examine each of these three Metabolife varieties.

Metabolife Ultra

The Metabolife website claims,

“Metabolife Ultra® is a breakthrough appetite suppressant that is specially formulated for sustained energy, helping to keep you motivated and on track towards achieving your weight loss goals.”

In reality, this supplement contains the same ingredients as numerous other weight loss supplements; there is no “breakthrough” technology or ingredient in Metabolife Ultra. With the “proprietary blend”, the amount of individual ingredients is not disclosed. While SuperCitriMax can be effective in weight loss, we cannot be sure if it will be effective in Metabolife Ultra because we do not know exactly how much is included.

The following is the ingredient list for Metabolife Ultra

• Calcium (as hydroxycitrate) 140mg 14%
• Chromium (as chromium picolinate) 133mcg 110%
• Sodium 30 mg 1%
• Potassium 200mg 5%

Proprietary Blend 1736mg

• SuperCitriMax� Garcinia extract (fruit) (standardized for hydroxycitric acid)
• Caffeine
• Co-enzyme Q10

Each caplet contains 75mg caffeine (this is a weak amount, but we’ll get there).

Metabolife Green Tea

The Metabolife website states,

“Metabolife® Green Tea helps boost the body’s metabolism, making it easier to burn unwanted calories.”

This could be true. Green tea has been proven to promote weight loss. However, with the “proprietary blend”, the amount of green tea contained in Metabolife Green Tea is not disclosed, so we cannot be sure it will be effective.

The following is the ingredient list for Metabolife Green Tea:

• Calcium (as hydroxycitrate & dicalcium phosphate) 40mg 4%
• Copper (as sodium copper chlorophyllin) 300mcg 15%
• Chromium (as chromium picolinate) 133mcg 110%
• Sodium 20mg <1%
• Potassium 30mg <1%

Proprietary Blend 1032mg

• SuperCitriMax� Garcinia extract (fruit) (standardized for hydroxycitric acid)
• Green tea extract (leaf) (standardized for EGCG and total catechins)
• Guarana extract (seed) (standardized for caffeine)
• Yerba mate extract (leaf) (standardized for caffeine)

Metabolife Caffeine Free

The Metabolife website explains,

“Metabolife® Caffeine Free is a stimulant-free alternative for individuals seeking the weight-loss benefits of Metabolife Ultra® without additional energy enhancement.”

The following is the ingredient list for Metabolife Caffeine Free:

Thiamin (as thiamin mononitrate) 1.5mg 100%
Riboflavin 1.7mg 100%
Niacin (as niacinamide) 20mg 100%
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) 5mg 250%
Pantothenic acid (as d-calcium pantothenate) 10mg 100%
Calcium (as hydroxycitrate) 140mg 14%
Chromium (as chromium picolinate) 133mcg 110%
Sodium 300mg 1%
Potassium 200mg 5%
SuperCitriMax® Garcinia extract (fruit) (standardized for hydroxycitric acid)

* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet
† Daily Value not established

Are the ingredients in the Metabolife supplements effective in promoting weight loss?

What does the research say?

In studies, Chromium Picolinate has shown conflicting findings. Some studies claim Chromium Picolinate reduces insulin resistance, promoting weight loss. Other studies have found this to be untrue. We remain neutral on chromium, with a slightly positively lean (how’s that for subjective?).

Garcinia Cambogia’s primary active compound is Hydroxycitric acid (HCA). Studies have shown taking HCA can promote weight loss. Study participants took 1.2 grams of HCA per day.

The amount of SuperCitriMax (Garnicia Cambogia) contained in Metabolife Ultra and Metabolife Green Tea is not disclosed; therefore, we cannot be sure it will be effective in promoting weight loss. The amount of SuperCitriMax in Metabolife Caffeine Free is more than the amount used in the studies. However, we prefer
SuperCitriMax when it is combined with other proven ingredients.

Green Tea is one of the few diet pill ingredients we stand by — backed by serious amounts of research over many, many years. Read our Green Tea review to see how we drew our conclusions.

Caffeine has been shown to be an energy booster. Knowing your caffeine tolerance is definitely important when evaluating different dietary supplements. The effects of caffeine vary from person to person based on any number of factors (body size, tolerance, etc.).

Studies have shown that Guarana can lead to fat cell reduction (when combined with conjugated linoleic acid). However, Metabolife Green Tea does not contain linoleic acid.

How much does Metabolife cost?

All three varieties come in bottles of 45 caplets; the bottles cost $24.99. The suggested dosage is 2 caplets 3 times per day. Thus, it will cost you $3.33 per day. This is very expensive, especially for a product that does not prove its effectiveness.

Metabolife Possible Side Effects

The side effects of Metabolife include increased heart rate, jitters, and anxiety.

Metabolife Review Conclusion

The three varieties of Metabolife might work, but without disclosing the amounts of individual ingredients, we cannot compare them with the clinical studies. These products are very expensive. Look for a supplement that discloses all ingredient amounts, includes clinically proven amounts of ingredients, and doesn’t try to rake you over on the pricing.

Dexatrim’s Ingredients

The following is the ingredient list from the Dexatrim Max package.

Supplement Facts
Serving Size: 1 Caplet
Servings Per Container: 75

Amount per Serving % Daily Value+

Total Carbohydrate 706 mg <1%

% Daily Value for 2,000

Thiamin (B1) 15 mg 1000%

Riboflavin (B2) 17 mg 1000%

Niacin (B3) 200 mg 1000%

Vitamin B6 10 mg 500%

Vitamin B12 60 mcg 1000%

Pantothenic acid 25 mg 250%

Chromium 200 mcg 167%

Proprietary Herbal Blend 227 mg*

Green Tea Leaf Extract 90 mg epigallocatechin [EGCG], 50 mg caffeine

Asian Ginseng Standardized Extract Root 250 mg*

While these ingredients may look good on paper, they remain questionable. Dexatrim Max touts its inclusion of vitamins in this supplement, but they fail to mention the facts. One dietician explains, “Your body can absorb around 10 to 15% of the nutrients in a vitamin pill. The rest goes down the toilet as urine.
So for every $10.00 you spend on [vitamin] supplements, you could be flushing $8.50 down the toilet. Your money would be better spent on food. The human body prefers to take a food, break it down and take the nutrients it needs.” ((http://www.dietitian.com/vitamins.html))

Vitamin B6 keeps blood glucose within the normal range. However, taking a B6 supplement helps only if you are deficient in this vitamin. Otherwise it does not help. ((http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitaminb6.asp))

The effects of chromium in weight loss are still considered questionable by researchers. One study explains, “A recent reviewof 24 studies that examined the effects of 200 to 1,000 mcg/day of chromium (in the form of chromium picolinate) on body mass or composition found no significant benefits. Another recent review of randomized, controlled clinical trials did find supplements of chromium picolinate to help with weight loss when compared to placebos, but the differences were small and of debatable clinical relevance. In several studies, chromium’s effects on body weight and composition may be called into question because the researchers failed to adequately control for the participants’ food intakes. Furthermore, most studies included only a small number of subjects and were of short duration.” ((http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/chromium.asp))

We like green tea as a diet pill ingredient, as it’s been proven effective in aiding weight loss. The problem with Dexatrim Max is not that it has Green Tea in it, it’s that the amount is so unbelievably small that the diet pill user will derive little or no benefit from it.

Research on ginseng as a contributor to weight loss has shown the following, “Although preliminary data suggest that ginseng (Panax ginseng) may improve glucose tolerance, no RCTs in humans
have shown greater weight loss with ginseng compared with placebo.” ((http://www.aafp.org/afp/20041101/1731.html))

Dexatrim Max Review Conclusion

Dexatrim Max may look good when you first glance at the label with its high levels of vitamins, but in the end, nearly all the ingredients prove to be questionable in their contribution to weight loss. Dexatrim Max makes some lofty claims including, “Fight these diet downfalls with the newest ephedra free, multi-vitamin dietary supplement ONLY from Dexatrim. Dexatrim Max™ gives you an activating complex you can feel working that…

FIGHTS hunger and cravings with a complete daily dose of B vitamins and ginseng

FIGHTS lack of energy with its exclusive Vitabolic Energy Boost and clinically-proven dosage of EGCG from Green Tea

FIGHTS stress-induced eating and weight gain with powerful anti-oxidants and key metabolism boosting ingredients.

Until Dexatrim Max either 1) increases the amount of effective ingredients in their products or 2) changes the formula to reflect something that could actually deliver on it claims, we suggest you look elsewhere for a weight loss supplement.
