I have done at least half a dozen reviews on other diet pills specifically for adult women. The Estrin-D website also claims:</p>
<p>&#8220;Estrin-D increases a sluggish metabolism, so you burn additional calories… even at rest.<br />
Estrin-D improves hormonal balance so you lose weight in all the right places.<br />
Estrin-D gives you all the energy you’ll ever need… day or night.&#8221;</p>
<p>This Estrin-D review will scrutinize the ingredients contained in Estrin-D diet pills and find the truth behind the claims made about Estrin-D.</p>
<h3>Estrin-D Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B-6 25 mg<br />
Magnesium 100 mg<br />
Proprietary Blend 1153 mg<br />
Yerba Mate<br />
Caffeine<br />
Guarana<br />
Damiana<br />
Green tea<br />
Ginger root<br />
Kola nut<br />
DHEA<br />
Schisandra fruit<br />
Scutellaria root<br />
Tibetan Ginseng<br />
Cocoa nut<br />
Jujube fruit<br />
Thea Sinensis Complex SE</p>
<p>Vitamin B-6 and Magnesium both contribute to a healthy diet, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>The combination of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate, Guarana, and Damiana</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Since Estrin-D fails to disclose how much of the combination it contains, there is no way to determine if there is enough to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>and green tea both increase metabolic function which leads to weight loss. Again, Estrin-D does not say how much of these ingredients they include, so there is no way to tell if they will be effective.</p>
<p>Ginger root reduces stomach acid; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Kola nut is supposed to suppress appetite; no studies have proven this. In fact, some studies are showing some possible cancer-related concerns with Kola nut.</p>
<p>DHEA has been shown to contribute to weight loss. You guessed it-since DHEA is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no way to know if the amount of DHEA in Estrin-D diet pills will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Studies have actually shown ginseng has no effect on weight loss.</p>
<p>Estrin-D does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. Also, there is nothing in Estrin-D which would make this specifically for women in menopause or postmenopause. Don&#8217;t be fooled; Estrin-D is nothing special.</p>
<h3>Estrin-D Cost</h3>
<p>You can buy a one month supply of Estrin-D diet pills for about $30. While this is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, it is too much because there is no reason to believe Estrin-D will actually cause weight loss. They hide how much of each ingredient they use, which is usually because they don&#8217;t include enough of any ingredient to be effective.</p>
<h3>Estrin-D Customer Service</h3>
<p>The Estrin-D website is very basic. They have a contact link, but it only gives an email address. There is no customer service phone number or even a company mailing address.</p>
<p>There is no guarantee for Estrin-D from the company; some distributors do offer their own guarantee for products.</p>
<h3>Estrin-D Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Estrin-D review finds there is no reason this product should be geared toward menopausal or postmenopausal women. In fact, there is no reason to believe Estrin-D will cause weight loss at all. They fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Despite how the Estrin-D website makes it sound, no research has been done specifically on Estrin-D diet pills. If you are serious about losing weight, look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts; our recommended products are a great place to start looking.</p>
