		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/lipotrox.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-786" title="lipotrox" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/lipotrox.jpg" alt="" width="90" height="150" /></a>Lipotrox is a diet pill of &#8220;pharmaceutical quality&#8221; (website). It supposedly causes the following:</p>
<p>&#8220;Appetite suppressant</p>
<p>Weight loss</p>
<p>Anti aging</p>
<p>Acne&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>This Lipotrox review shows that the claims made about Lipotrox are too good to be true; Lipotrox does not live up to its claims. It contains ineffective ingredients and the Lipotrox customer service is pitiful.</p>
<h3>Lipotrox Ingredients</h3>
<p>Proprietary Blend (735 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> does contribute to weight loss. However, Lipotrox fails to disclose how much green tea it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this Lipotrox review to determine if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia</a> is a gimmicky ingredient. It is endorsed by celebrities, but there is NO scientific evidence that hoodia does anything for weight loss.</p>
<p>Acai Extract is another ingredient that is all hype. Acai does NOT contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid </a>(ALA) produces energy. However, your body makes plenty of ALA on its own; you don&#8217;t need to supplement with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a> Extract is used to treat a variety of maladies, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Barley Powder and Buckwheat both have healthy benefits, but they do not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>DMAE is supposed to enhance mood. Studies have shown DMAE could have dangerous effects. DMAE does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/" >Flaxseed powder</a></p>
<p>Lactobacillus Acid</p>
<p>Salmon Powder</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >Wheat Grass</a> Extract has healthy benefits, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Alfalfa Extract</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Pepper</a> Powder may contribute to weight loss by increasing energy and lowering food intake, but more research is needed to substantiate these claims.</p>
<p>Soybean Extract</p>
<p>The Lipotrox website says Lipotrox diet pills are also available without caffeine (meaning it does not contain green tea). Well, green tea is the only proven ingredient in Lipotrox.</p>
<h3>Lipotrox Cost</h3>
<p>Lipotrox diet pills cost $19.95 for a one month supply. According to the Lipotrox website, Lipotrox normally costs $34.95 for a one month supply. Companies often do this to make you think you are getting a great deal so you are more likely to buy the product. Don&#8217;t get suckered into buying Lipotrox; there is no reason to believe Lipotrox will actually work.</p>
<h3>Lipotrox Customer Service and Guarantee</h3>
<p>There is no customer service phone number for Lipotrox. They do have a customer service email address. We emailed Lipotrox to find out about their guarantee, but we only got an auto response. They did not answer any of our questions. Thus, as the Lipotrox website says nothing about a guarantee or refund policy, we can only assume there is no guarantee with Lipotrox.</p>
<p>It is concerning that there is no good way to get a hold of Lipotrox customer service. That is enough itself to keep us from recommending Lipotrox.</p>
<h3>Lipotrox Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipotrox review finds Lipotrox diet pills are just another ineffective, overpriced diet pill. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; you will end up wanting your money back and you won&#8217;t be able to get it back. Do yourself a favor and go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

Ghreleptin diet pills supposedly stops cravings and &#8220;normalizes&#8221; leptin and ghrelin hormone levels. These hormones are &#8220;the single biggest factors of body fat levels&#8221; (Ghreleptin website). Ghreleptin diet pills make very lofty claims including &#8220;Lose 35 pounds, and keep it off for good!&#8221; They also claim the average person loses 12 pounds per month when taking Ghreleptin. This Ghreleptin review will test the validity of these claims and help you decide if it is worth taking.</p>
<h3>What are the ingredients in Ghreleptin diet pills?</h3>
<p>The following is the ingredient list for Ghreleptin, as listed on their website<br />
Supplement Facts<br />
Servings: 60<br />
Serving Size 2 Capsules<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Leptin Activating Blend<br />
Guarana Fruit<br />
Acai<br />
Bitter Orange<br />
Noni<br />
Mangosteen<br />
Wolfberry<br />
Pomegranate<br />
Bitter Melon<br />
Raspberry Ketones<br />
Grapeseed</p>
<p>Ghrelin Deactivating Blend<br />
Spinach Extract<br />
Broccoli Extract<br />
Garlic 100:1<br />
Celery Seed Extract<br />
Carrot extract<br />
Wheat Grass Extract<br />
Asparagus Extract<br />
Tomato Extract<br />
Shiitake Mushroom<br />
Mustard Seed Extract<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>contains caffeine, which has been proven to increase metabolism.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>can be found in the citrus aurantium fruit, also known as bitter orange.</p>
<p>Is Synephrine effective? One study performed in December of 2007 looked at the lipolysis (fat loss) effects of Satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus unshu Mark) peel on the fat cells of rats (I know, it’s always rats).  A high concentration of Synephrine was present in the peel and lipoloysis effects were present. The overall conclusion:</p>
<p>These results suggest that the segment wall, an edible fraction, from Satsuma mandarin orange might be useful as a functional food, especially as a fat-reducing material.<br />
Punicic acid is derived from pomegranate seed oil. It has been proven to help eliminate fat cells (see the study abstract here). <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12396127">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12396127</a></p>
<p>Studies show <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >raspberry ketones</a> induced weight loss in mice with a diet containing 2% of the total diet as raspberry ketones. No studies have been done on humans. Note: in order to take in 2% of raspberry ketones as your total diet you would have to take a ton of these Ghreleptin diet pills.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic </a>does help regulate blood sugar levels, which can aid in weight loss.</p>
<p>This Ghreleptin review has found the ingredients in Ghreleptin can contribute to weight loss if they are used in the appropriate amounts. However, Ghreleptin fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included in the diet pills. This makes it virtually impossible to know whether the amounts are sufficient to produce positive results.</p>
<h3>How much does Ghreleptin cost?</h3>
<p>One bottle of Ghreleptin (120 capsules) will cost you $29.95. If you take the recommended maximum dose of 8 per day, one bottle will last 15 days. That makes Ghreleptin $2 per day. This is very expensive, especially for a product that does not provide adequate information about ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>Does Ghreleptin have a money back guarantee?</h3>
<p>This is a good question. Ghreleptin can be purchased only from their official website. The website is very basic and provides extremely limited information. There are break-off websites with addresses similar to Ghreleptin. These websites have the same look of the official website, but they are run by individuals. The break-off websites claim there is a money back guarantee, but the official website has no such information.</p>
<h3>What are the side effects of Ghreleptin?</h3>
<p>The side effects of Ghreleptin include increased heart rate and increased blood pressure.</p>
<h3>Ghreleptin conclusion</h3>
<p>Ghreleptin diet pills are all hype. They have a lengthy list of ingredients. Some of these ingredients actually can contribute to weight loss. However, this Ghreleptin review finds that due to the undisclosed ingredient amounts, we cannot determine how effective this product is. We recommend using a diet pill that has been proven to be effective.</p>
