			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/slimvia.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-838" title="slimvia" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/slimvia.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="70" /></a>Slimvia is a diet pill that &#8220;uses a natural proprietary blend of select ingredients we researched over many years to help you reduce your food consumption, increase fullness, increase energy, and reduce desire to overly eat&#8221; (website). The truth is Slimvia contains a lot of ingredients, but they do nothing to contribute to weight loss. Slimvia may have a good guarantee policy, but it really doesn&#8217;t matter when you consider there is no proof that Slimvia actually causes weight loss (despite what their website may claim).</p>
<h3>Slimvia Ingredients</h3>
<p>Viaplex 636 mg</p>
<p>A proprietary herbal blend that suppresses appetite and reduces cravings.</p>
<p>L-Carnitine 7 mg</p>
<p>Vitamin C (1 mg) is healthy, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E (2 iu) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B1 (1 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B2 (1 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Choline 2 mg</p>
<p>Chromium Picolinate (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Ginger root</p>
<p>Spirulina</p>
<p>Uncaria Surinamensis</p>
<p>Lepidium Peruvianum</p>
<p>Capim Doce</p>
<p>Gelatin</p>
<p>Magnesium Stearate</p>
<p>Silica</p>
<p>Ascorbic Acid</p>
<p>Thiamine Mononitrate</p>
<p>Choline Bitartrate</p>
<p>Vitamin E Succianate</p>
<p>Cyanocobolamine</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Slimvia Guarantee</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Slimvia Cost</h3>
<p>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&#8217;t) want to receive more product.</p>
<h3>Slimvia Conclusion</h3>
<p>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&#8217;t matter since the product doesn&#8217;t actually work. Go with a product that actually includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Our recommended products are some good options.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-676" title="ventilean" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/ventilean.jpg" alt="" width="89" height="150" />Ventilean is a diet pill that claims, &#8220;If you’re ready to feel the wrath of the fierce fat burning effects of VentiLean, you’ll be letting everybody else know that you too have the violent intensity needed to go from an average physique to one that is suran wrapped to the bone and demands respect&#8221; (website). This Ventilean review will explore the truth behind Ventilean to help you determine if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Ventilean Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B1 (0.75 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B2 (0.85 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B3 (10 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (12 mcg) is important to health but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) has healthy benefits, but it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 229 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but Ventilean fails to list how much caffeine it includes.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium 30% <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>does contribute to weight loss. When it comes to Synephrine, the higher the concentration the better. Ideally, you would want to see a 90% concentration or even more. Ventilean contains a 30% concentration.</p>
<p>Evodiamine Pure has been proven to cause weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.</p>
<p>Stevia</p>
<p>Yohimbe does cause weight loss, but again Ventilean does not disclose how much Yohimbe it contains. This makes it impossible for this Ventilean review to determine if there is enough Yohimbe in Ventilean to be effective.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>helps with age-related memory problems, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Yerba Mate</a>. Ventilean does NOT contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this Ventilean review finds the guarana in Ventilean will not be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<p>Ventilean claims, &#8220;Not only are our ingredients unique, and proven effective but you can see that we put quality inside and outside&#8221; (website). Don&#8217;t be fooled by this claim. The ingredients in Ventilean can be found in dozens of diet products. While Ventilean does contain a few clinically proven ingredients, the amounts of these ingredients are hidden.</p>
<p>C-Amp</p>
<h3>Ventilean Cost</h3>
<p>Ventilean diet pills cost $59.95 for a 24 day supply. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. While Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients, they hide how much of these ingredients are included (which usually means they put in as little as possible).</p>
<h3>Ventilean Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Ventilean website is contradictory about their guarantee. In one place it says they give you 30 days to return the product for a full refund. In another place they say the timeframe is 60 days. Both places say unopened bottles can be returned for a full refund (minus shipping and handling).</p>
<h3>Ventilean Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ventilean review finds that Ventilean diet pills are really no different from dozens of others. Ventilean contains a few proven ingredients but fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend looking elsewhere for a diet pill. Our recommended products contain proven ingredients in sufficient amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-675" title="adipo-x" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/adipo-x.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="150" />Adipo-X is &#8220;the most effective, most innovative, scientifically engineered  fat loss formula designed to boost your metabolism and heighten energy levels  with no crash. Adipo-X™ increases the metabolism safely and naturally  with the most unique fat burning formula ever developed. Adipo-X™ destroys fat  and lets you get ripped, while allowing you to retain your hard earned muscle&#8221; (website). This Adipo-X review will detail the ingredients contained in Adipo-X as well as explore marketing techniques employed by Adipo-X to help you see what you can expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B1 (5 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B3 (10 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (10 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium Carbonate (50 mg) has health benefits but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Sesame Seed Oil (1398 mg)</p>
<p>Adipo-X Proprietary Blend (771 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> USP is merely dried caffeine. Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, Adipo-X fails to list how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible to know if there is enough caffeine to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> AKG does contribute to weight loss. However, it has to be taken in doses of 500-1500 mg per day. It is VERY unlikely that Adipo-X contains enough L-Tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Raspberry Ketones 99% have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice. No human research has been done.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra Z</a> (Citrus Aurantium 30%) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The important thing with Synephrine is the concentration (the higher the better). Adipo-X lists the concentration of Citrus Aurantium but not the concentration of Synephrine.</p>
<p>Capsaicin Extract (Cayenne) can improve circulation and digestion. However, more research needs to be done to determine the effectiveness in weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbe PE (8% Yohimbine) does cause weight loss, but once again Adipo-X diet pills do not list how much Yohimbe they contain.</p>
<p>Paprika Extract</p>
<p>Ginger Root Extract (20% Gingerols)</p>
<p>Coleus Forskholi (40% Forskolin) does contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 250 mg per day. Adipo-X does not say how much coleus forskholi it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is another clinically proven diet pill. Since Adipo-X hides how much green tea it contains, it is impossible for this Adipo-X review to determine if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>aids in the absorption of nutrients; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>You will notice that Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included. This makes it impossible to know how effective Adipo-X diet pills will actually be.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Cost</h3>
<p>Adipo-X diet pills cost $39.96 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 40 days. This is not expensive for a diet pill, but considering Adipo-X does not list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to know how effective Adipo-X will be. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for Adipo-X.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Marketing</h3>
<p>The Adipo-X website says, &#8220;If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase of Adipo-X, return  the bottle with your invoice or receipt for a full refund.&#8221; They do not give any further information about their guarantee; they do not say how much time you have to return the product or if you will be charged a restocking fee.</p>
<p>The Adipo-X website mentions a free trial. However, they do not give any information on what the trial is or what strings are attached to the free trial.</p>
<h3>Adipo-X Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Adipo-X review finds Adipo-X does contain several clinically proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden. Thus, we recommend looking for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
