			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/star-caps.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-599" title="star-caps" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/star-caps.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="159" /></a>StarCaps is &#8220;the quick, effective way to melt off 10-125 pounds&#8221; (website). Formerly known as Time Caps, Star Caps is supposed to &#8220;metabolize protein, eliminate bloat and detoxify your system&#8221; (website). This StarCaps review will disclose the truth behind StarCaps and their celebrity endorsements to show what you can really expect from StarCaps diet pills.</p>
<h3>StarCaps Ingredients</h3>
<p>Papaya<br />
Garlic<br />
Valerian<br />
Corn Spices<br />
Papain</p>
<p>Papaya is full of vitamins A and C as well as healthy minerals. Despite what some diet pill companies may claim, papaya has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic </a>is used to treat infections, boost testosterone, and regulate blood sugar levels. However, studies have NOT proven that garlic contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>StarCaps claims the papaya and garlic contained in their formula comes from &#8220;the higher Andes of Peru&#8221;. Don&#8217;t be impressed; neither papaya nor garlic has been proven to contribute to weight loss, no matter where they come from.</p>
<p>Valerian promotes restful sleep. It has not been shown to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Papain comes from the skin of unripe papaya. It is used as a meat tenderizer and supposedly aids in digestion. There is no research to suggest that papain actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>You will notice that NONE of the ingredients in StarCaps diet pills have been proven to contribute to weight loss. There is no thermogenic agent or appetite suppressant.</p>
<h3>StarCaps Cost</h3>
<p>StarCaps costs $80 per bottle (according to the website this is a $20 savings). One bottle lasts 2 weeks. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill, especially one that contains NO proven ingredients. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the celebrity endorsements; StarCaps will only leave you disappointed.</p>
<h3>StarCaps Marketing</h3>
<p>The StarCaps website is very outdated and unimpressive. It contains several celebrity endorsements and many pictures of Nikki Haskell (creator of StarCaps) with various celebrities, but there is no explanation as to why the pictures are on the website. There are not endorsements from all the celebrities&#8217; pictures. Maybe the pictures are included to impress you about how many celebrities Nikki Haskell knows. It really isn&#8217;t impressive.</p>
<p>Most diet pill companies have a disclaimer that their product is not recommended for children under 18. StarCaps says it is not recommended for children under 12.</p>
<p>There is very little information on the StarCaps website except bogus claims and outrageous celebrity endorsements. They do not list how much of each ingredient is listed in their formula. They also do not list anything about a product guarantee.</p>
<p>One interesting bit of advice from StarCaps is &#8220;avoid sugar, butter, and cheese&#8221; (website). Maybe they are worried you will gain weight when taking StarCaps if you eat these foods.</p>
<h3>StarCaps Conclusion</h3>
<p>This StarCaps review finds StarCaps is an overrated diet pill trying to sell you with celebrity endorsements. Don&#8217;t buy into it. StarCaps will only leave a hole in your wallet. Try a diet pill which includes proven ingredients in proven amounts; you will have much better results!</p>
