Where Lipovox claims to &#8220;burn up to 400% more fat than with just diet and exercise alone&#8221;, Lipovox Hardcore Detox now claims to burn up to 900% more.  But just how different is new Lipovox Hardcore Detox formula?  Very different!</p>
<h2>Lipovox Hardcore Detox Ingredients</h2>
<p>Lipovox Hardcore Detox doesn&#8217;t just have a long name, it also has a long list of ingredients.  They&#8217;ve broken them down into a few different sections:</p>
<p><strong>Patented Ingredient Blend  (655mg)</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/tonalin-review/">Tonalin Cla</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/super-citrimax-review/">Super CitriMax</a><br />
Pinnothin<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/">Advantra-Z</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/neopuntia-review/">NeOpuntia</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phase-2-review/">Phase-2</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/7-keto-review/">7-Keto DHEA</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/">Forslean</a><br />
FucoPure</p>
<p><strong>SuperFood Blend (400mg)</strong><br />
Acai<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/">Cayenne</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/">Wheatgrass</a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/">Garlic</a><br />
Lactbacillus Acidophilus<br />
Soybean Extract<br />
LinumLife Flaxseed Lignans<br />
Alfalfa<br />
Buckwheat</p>
<p><strong>Instant Detox Blend (710mg)</strong><br />
Dandelion Root<br />
Uva Ursi<br />
Buchu<br />
Celery Seed<br />
Psyllium Husk<br />
Lemon Balm<br />
Couchgrass<br />
Milk Thistle<br />
Parsley<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a></p>
<p><strong>Antioxidant Blend (400mg)</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> (50% caffeine)<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous</a><br />
DMAE<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/">Alpha Lipoic Acid</a></p>
<p>The short of it is that you&#8217;re getting a lot of high quality weight loss ingredients here.  They&#8217;ve basically taken the SuperFood ingredient profile of the original Lipovox and added a ton of other effective ingredients.  Many of them have been proven in clinical studies to aid in weight loss. I would like to see them disclose how much of each individual ingredient is included.</p>
<p>You can click on the ingredients above to read the full reviews of the ingredients.</p>
<p>With so many ingredients packed in, it&#8217;s no wonder they had to go from 60 capsules to 180!</p>
<p><strong>***Note***</strong></p>
<p>Because of the recent concern and newly found evidence that the ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) may be linked to certain health concerns dealing with the liver, we are no longer recommending Lipovox Hardcore Detox. Lipovox Hardcore Detox contains Super CitriMax, whose active component is HCA. The FDA, in a recent warning about Hydroxycut-branded products, said: “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products.”</p>
<p>While FDA hasn’t specifically identified HCA as the culprit, some believe that it may responsible for the health problems. One can never be too cautious. As such, all products containing HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</p>
<p>For more information on the FDA’s warning against Hydroxycut and possible dangers to the liver due to HCA, see the <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/hydroxycut-review/">Hydroxycut Review</a>.</p>
<h2>Great Money Back Guarantee</h2>
<p>One the things that really impressed me with Lipovox Hardcore Detox is their money back guarantee.  In the diet pill industry, a good guarantee is anything from 60 to 90 days.  Lipovox HardCore Detox offers a Lifetime guarantee on all unopened bottles AND on one empty bottle.  This kind of guarantee is rarely seen in this industry.  </p>
<h2>Not a Big Fan of the Marketing</h2>
<p>The same as the original Lipovox website, Lipovox Hardcore Detox still has the magazine covers posted near the top of the site.  This is a common tactic used to add perceived credibility.  It implies that the product was either feature in or endorsed by the magazine or celebrity.  For example, the SuperFoods were definitely covered in both the Oprah magazine and TV show, but in no way did they endorse the Lipovox Hardcore Detox product.</p>
<h2>Price</h2>
<p>The Lipovox Hardcore Detox website has the product listed at $49.99 (only $20 more than the original Lipovox).  If the product is effective, this is a  decent price for a diet pill.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Lipovox Hardcore Detox is definitely a step up from the original Lipovox formula.  The inclusion of so many proven ingredients should add quite a bit to its effectiveness.  Since the appearance of possible health issues associated with HCA, however, I&#8217;m not able to recommend the diet pill.  The price is good and the guarantee is stellar.  If it weren&#8217;t for the HCA, I&#8217;d give Lipovox a green light.</p>

<p>For full reviews of each ingredient, click on its link above.</p>
<p>Leptorexin&#8217;s ingredient profile contains both quality, proven ingredients as well as some that aren&#8217;t likely to do much.  Often when we see a long list of ingredients such as this our first reaction is to assume that they aren&#8217;t able to fit enough of each ingredient in the pill to be effective.  With Leptorexin, however, this may or may not be the case.  They use proprietary blends, which is a big turnoff.  But the amounts of those blends (or at least a couple of the blends) appears to possibly be sufficient to be effective.  With all proprietary blends, however, it&#8217;s extremely difficult to give a solid answer as to its probable effectiveness.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Marketing</h3>
<p>The first that we noticed is that <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin</a> looked incredibly familiar.  Well if you look at PatenTrim, you may feel the same way.  It looks like Leptorexin has copied many of the design features of PatenTrim.  I&#8217;m not sure what exactly their strategy was for such a move, but it&#8217;s possible that they are trying to borrow from some of PatenTrim&#8217;s credibility.</p>
<p>Aside from that, the website is quite open about the ingredients (although they do use proprietary blends) and has some basic details about most of them.  We like that.  They do, however, use the overly abused TV logos, trying to make you think that they&#8217;ve been featured on them.  That&#8217;s highly unlikely.</p>
<h3>The Leptorexin Guarantee</h3>
<p>They have a 100% lifetime money back guarantee.  You can only return unopened bottles, but this is still much better than almost all of the other guarantees out there.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Cost</h3>
<p>For one bottle it&#8217;s $59.99.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Conclusion</h3>
<p>The ingredient profile in Leptorexin contains a myriad of ingredients.  Some are good, some are mediocre.  We like their great guarantee and if the pill is effective, the price isn&#8217;t too bad.  It&#8217;s always hard to fully recommend something that uses proprietary blends, so <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin </a>gets a pretty average review.  There may be better solutions out there, but it is likely to help you lose weight.</p>

<p>Leptorexin&#8217;s ingredient profile contains both quality, proven ingredients as well as some that aren&#8217;t likely to do much.  Often when we see a long list of ingredients such as this our first reaction is to assume that they aren&#8217;t able to fit enough of each ingredient in the pill to be effective.  With Leptorexin, however, this may or may not be the case.  They use proprietary blends, which is a big turnoff.  But the amounts of those blends (or at least a couple of the blends) appears to possibly be sufficient to be effective.  With all proprietary blends, however, it&#8217;s extremely difficult to give a solid answer as to its probable effectiveness.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Marketing</h3>
<p>The first that we noticed is that <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin</a> looked incredibly familiar.  Well if you look at PatenTrim, you may feel the same way.  It looks like Leptorexin has copied many of the design features of PatenTrim.  I&#8217;m not sure what exactly their strategy was for such a move, but it&#8217;s possible that they are trying to borrow from some of PatenTrim&#8217;s credibility.</p>
<p>Aside from that, the website is quite open about the ingredients (although they do use proprietary blends) and has some basic details about most of them.  We like that.  They do, however, use the overly abused TV logos, trying to make you think that they&#8217;ve been featured on them.  That&#8217;s highly unlikely.</p>
<h3>The Leptorexin Guarantee</h3>
<p>They have a 100% lifetime money back guarantee.  You can only return unopened bottles, but this is still much better than almost all of the other guarantees out there.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Cost</h3>
<p>For one bottle it&#8217;s $59.99.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Conclusion</h3>
<p>The ingredient profile in Leptorexin contains a myriad of ingredients.  Some are good, some are mediocre.  We like their great guarantee and if the pill is effective, the price isn&#8217;t too bad.  It&#8217;s always hard to fully recommend something that uses proprietary blends, so <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin </a>gets a pretty average review.  There may be better solutions out there, but it is likely to help you lose weight.</p>

This Leptodrene review will dissect the claims about Leptodrene&#8217;s research as well as explain the details about the Leptodrene ingredients to reveal what Leptodrene diet pills will actually do.</p>
<h3>Leptodrene Ingredients</h3>
<p>Green Tea (50% caffeine)<br />
Cayenne Pepper Extract<br />
Acai Extract<br />
Garlic Extract<br />
Barley Extract<br />
Buckwheat Extract<br />
Flaxseed Extract<br />
Lactobacillus Acidophillus<br />
Salmon Oil Powder<br />
Alfalfa Extract<br />
Soybean Extract<br />
Wheatgrass Extract<br />
Alpha lipoic Acid<br />
DMAE<br />
Idebenone</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is a proven diet pill ingredient; it increases metabolic rate. However, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptodrene" rel="nofollow">Leptodrene </a>does not say how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Leptodrene review to determine if Leptodrene diet pills contain enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p>Research shows cayenne pepper may contribute to weight loss by lowering food intake and increasing energy. More research is needed to determine how much cayenne pepper is needed for weight loss.</p>
<p>Acai is the new hoodia. It is endorsed by various celebrities and television programs. Despite what some big names claim, there is NO research to prove that Acai actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a> helps regulate blood sugar levels, which can lead to weight loss.</p>
<p>Barley and buckwheat both have healthy benefits, but they have not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid </a>(ALA) is needed to produce energy. Many diet pill companies include ALA in their formula, but your body creates enough ALA; you don&#8217;t need to supplement with more.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a> is supposed to have a positive effect on mood. Studies have shown some possible dangerous effects due to DMAE. More research is needed before we can endorse DMAE as a diet pill ingredient.</p>
<p>Idebonone is supposed to slow the aging process of the skin.</p>
<h3>Leptodrene Cost</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptodrene" rel="nofollow">Leptodrene </a>costs $29.99 for a 2 month supply (according to the website, this saves you $59). Many diet pill companies tell you are saving a bunch of money to make you think you are getting a great deal. Leptodrene is relatively inexpensive, but considering they hide how much of the proven ingredients are included, $29.99 is too much.</p>
<h3>Leptodrene Guarantee</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptodrene" rel="nofollow">Leptodrene </a>website says if you are not pleased with their product you can return it for a &#8220;full and hassle free refund.&#8221; They do not give specifics about how to return the product or how long it takes to get the refund.</p>
<h3>Leptodrene Research</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptodrene" rel="nofollow">Leptodrene </a>website claims, &#8220;The research conducted on Leptodrene is the most in-depth and comprehensive to date.&#8221; They fail to mention anything about this supposed research. They do not say who conducted the research or when or where it was done. Diet pill companies often claim there has been research done on their product, but in reality they have done their own research (or sometimes they haven&#8217;t done any at all) and have doctored the results to make their product look better.</p>
<p>The lack of information about the research on Leptodrene makes us question this product.</p>
<h3>Leptodrene Conclusion</h3>
<p>This <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptodrene" rel="nofollow">Leptodrene </a>review finds Leptodrene is just another typical diet pill. They hide how much of each ingredient they include in their formula and they do not explain their bold claims about their supposed research. Look for a diet pill company that can substantiate their claims with real research.</p>

This effective combination helps to clean up and clear out these toxins and poisons that naturally accumulate in your body every day! The results: decreased body fat and higher energy levels!&#8221; This Orovo Detox review will reveal just how legitimate these claims are and what you can expect from Orovo Detox diet pills.</p>
<h3>What are the ingredients in Orovo Detox?</h3>
<p>The ingredients in <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> are listed below.</p>
<ul>

<p>Other Ingredients: Magnesium Stearate</p>
<p>As you can see, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> has thrown in everything but the kitchen sink. Realize that just because a product has a long list of ingredients doesn&#8217;t mean it is an effective product. In fact, the opposite is often true. They want you to believe that the number of ingredients makes it more effective.</p>
<p>In this very long list of ingredients, only one, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>, has been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Green tea is an excellent diet pill ingredient. It has been proven to significantly contribute to weight loss IF it is used in the correct amount. However, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> includes green tea only in a &#8220;blend&#8221;, so the actual amount of green tea is not disclosed. Therefore, this Orovo Detox review cannot determine whether the amount of green tea included in Orovo Detox diet pills is enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a> is supposed to have a positive influence on mood, but more human research is needed before it can be considered a good ingredient in a diet pill.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >Wheatgrass</a> is supposed to detoxify heavy metals from the blood stream and improve the digestive system, among many other things.While wheatgrass is healthy, there is no proof it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>The remainder of these ingredients, while they may be healthy, do not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>How much does Orovo Detox cost?</h3>
<p>This is a tricky question. The official website says the retail price is $89.95 for one bottle, but you can buy it on the website for $39.99. You can save even more if you buy in bulk. This is a classic retail marketing tactic used to make people feel like they are getting a good deal so they will buy more.</p>
<p>Orovo has an income-opportunity side to it as well.  If you sign up for their autoship program then you&#8217;ll be able to refer friends and earn money when friends by Orovo products.  If you&#8217;re a great salesman then i suppose you could earn some extra money doing this.</p>
<h3>Quick Orovo Detox Video Review</h3>

<h3>How should Orovo Detox diet pills be taken?</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> website instructs that the product should be taken for seven days (4 capsules twice a day) followed by a seven day rest period. Why is this? According to the website, &#8220;Because you will lose weight faster with Orovo DETOX than any other weight loss product ever made. The combination of the original 10 SuperFoods plus 31 Detox Agents promote results so FAST that taking for more than 7 consecutive days will cause you to lose weight TOO QUICKLY!&#8221;</p>
<p>We doubt the product will help you lose weight too quickly, based on our review as stated above.  Throwing out cautions like this are usually meant to simply legitimize the product in a prospect&#8217;s eyes.</p>
<h3>What are the side effects of Orovo Detox?</h3>
<p>The side effects of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> diet pills may include frequent bowel movements (though not <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alli-review/" >explosive and without warning, a la Alli</a>), anxiety, and possibly jitters.</p>
<h3>Orovo Detox Conclusion</h3>
<p>This <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> review finds that Orovo Detox diet pills are a nice contender for a detox option.  We like it overall.</p>

<p>As you can see, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> has thrown in everything but the kitchen sink. Realize that just because a product has a long list of ingredients doesn&#8217;t mean it is an effective product. In fact, the opposite is often true. They want you to believe that the number of ingredients makes it more effective.</p>
<p>In this very long list of ingredients, only one, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>, has been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Green tea is an excellent diet pill ingredient. It has been proven to significantly contribute to weight loss IF it is used in the correct amount. However, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> includes green tea only in a &#8220;blend&#8221;, so the actual amount of green tea is not disclosed. Therefore, this Orovo Detox review cannot determine whether the amount of green tea included in Orovo Detox diet pills is enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a> is supposed to have a positive influence on mood, but more human research is needed before it can be considered a good ingredient in a diet pill.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >Wheatgrass</a> is supposed to detoxify heavy metals from the blood stream and improve the digestive system, among many other things.While wheatgrass is healthy, there is no proof it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>The remainder of these ingredients, while they may be healthy, do not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>How much does Orovo Detox cost?</h3>
<p>This is a tricky question. The official website says the retail price is $89.95 for one bottle, but you can buy it on the website for $39.99. You can save even more if you buy in bulk. This is a classic retail marketing tactic used to make people feel like they are getting a good deal so they will buy more.</p>
<p>Orovo has an income-opportunity side to it as well.  If you sign up for their autoship program then you&#8217;ll be able to refer friends and earn money when friends by Orovo products.  If you&#8217;re a great salesman then i suppose you could earn some extra money doing this.</p>
<h3>Quick Orovo Detox Video Review</h3>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEzpKq4gHAM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEzpKq4gHAM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<h3>How should Orovo Detox diet pills be taken?</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> website instructs that the product should be taken for seven days (4 capsules twice a day) followed by a seven day rest period. Why is this? According to the website, &#8220;Because you will lose weight faster with Orovo DETOX than any other weight loss product ever made. The combination of the original 10 SuperFoods plus 31 Detox Agents promote results so FAST that taking for more than 7 consecutive days will cause you to lose weight TOO QUICKLY!&#8221;</p>
<p>We doubt the product will help you lose weight too quickly, based on our review as stated above.  Throwing out cautions like this are usually meant to simply legitimize the product in a prospect&#8217;s eyes.</p>
<h3>What are the side effects of Orovo Detox?</h3>
<p>The side effects of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> diet pills may include frequent bowel movements (though not <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alli-review/" >explosive and without warning, a la Alli</a>), anxiety, and possibly jitters.</p>
<h3>Orovo Detox Conclusion</h3>
<p>This <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=orovo detox" rel="nofollow">Orovo Detox</a> review finds that Orovo Detox diet pills are a nice contender for a detox option.  We like it overall.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<div class="alignright" style="display:none;"><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-435 noborder" title="Try Leptitrex" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/recommended_leptitrex.jpg" alt="Try Leptitrex" width="209" height="44" /></a></div>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-299" title="Leptitrex Bottle" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/leptitrex-bottle.jpg" alt="" width="126" height="214" /></a><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> is a weight loss supplement that claims by taking it you will “Lose 7 Pounds Every 7 Days Effortlessly”. The first thing you will notice about Leptitrex is lengthy list of ingredients; <strong>there are about 50 ingredients in this supplement</strong>.  Leptitrex claims it will not only help you lose weight but it will also detox your body, eliminate acne, feel euphoric, suppress appetite, and build muscle. That is great if you are looking for all of those things, but what if you just want to lose weight?</p>
<h3>Just what is in Leptitrex?</h3>
<p>The list is long and we could probably write a book with information on each ingredient. <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> contains 6 &#8220;Keys&#8221; which, according to their website, are:</p>
<p>1. Vitamins &amp; Mineral blend &#8211; Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Chromium Polynicontinate, Selenium</p>
<p>2. Motivation &amp; Hunger &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chocamine-review/" >Chocamine</a>, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/" >Di-Caffeine Malate</a>, Rhodiola Rosea, St. John&#8217;s Wort, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a>, Picamilon, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-phenylalanine-review/" >Phenylalanine</a>, hops, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >Phenylethylamine (PEA)</a>, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, Ginkgo, Siberian Ginseng, Ginger, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a>, and Vinpocetine</p>
<p>3. Superfoods &#8211; Barley, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a>, Cayenne, Buckwheat, Soybeans, Flaxseed, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >Wheatgrass</a>, Acai, and alfalfa. These ingredients supposedly help in eliminating acne.</p>
<p>4. Lean Muscle Matrix &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >Forslean</a>, L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate, L-Arginine, Avena Sativa, Mucuna Pruniens, Ipriflavone, Ecdysterone</p>
<p>5. Body &amp; liver detox &#8211; dandelion root, milk thistle, licorice, cranberry, uva ursi, and sage</p>
<p>6. Anti Aging matrix &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a>, acetyl-L-Carnitine, and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >alpha lipoic acid</a></p>
<p>While the ingredients are all listed, there are no specific amounts listed for any of the ingredients.  This is your standard &#8220;proprietary blend&#8221; that we see a lot in the diet pill industry.  It&#8217;s completely out of the ordinary for companies <em>not</em> to use a proprietary blend these days, so we have a hard time making it count against anyone. (That being said, there are a few companies that disclose everything, so we do give special consideration to those).</p>
<p>Because <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> contains a whole slew of ingredients, you&#8217;re going to be dealing with multiple pills.  Don&#8217;t let this be a huge deterrent to you unless you have a hard time swallowing pills.  What would worry me more is if Leptitrex were to list all of these ingredients and then only require one or two pills as the dosage&#8230;that would smell like a scam.</p>
<h3>What does the Research say about Leptitrex?</h3>
<p>Well, there has been no research done on <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> itself, only on some of the individual ingredients. Several of the ingredients have been proven effective in weight loss, specifically <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >Forslean</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>. However, many of the ingredients are a bit disputed in their effectiveness, including <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a>. Many of the other ingredients have not been researched enough to determine their effectiveness. Although some ingredients do have clinical backing, it is impossible to say whether or not these ingredients are effective in Leptitrex because the amounts of the ingredients are not disclosed.</p>
<p>Several ingredients are included as mood enhancers (including PEA and DMAE). PEA has been clinically proven to promote energy and elevate mood. ((http://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/abstract/7/1/6))</p>
<h3>The Leptitrex Website Claims:</h3>
<p>&#8220;Recent Clinical studies prove the Effectiveness of 2 ingredients in the Leptitrex Lean Muscle Matrix:</p>
<p>1)  Seventy-eight highly trained athletes were given either placebo, protein, or a key ingredient in Leptitrex + protein. The combination of Leptitrex’s ingredient and protein resulted in up to a 13% reduction in body fat and a 6% to 7% increase in muscle tissue. This was within a period of only 10 days.</p>
<p>2)  University study on another PATENTED ingredient in Leptitrex shows test subjects lost 9.9 lbs of body FAT on average in the course of 12 weeks. They were also able to GAIN Lean Muscle Tissue thus greatly increasing their metabolic rate and likelihood of long term success.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is interesting that not only does <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> fail to say which ingredients were tested, but they also fail to give any concrete evidence on when the studies were done or who conducted the studies.</p>
<h3>Leptitrex Marketing</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> does most of the marketing by word of mouth.  This is actually a very positive sign, since you can be assured that consumers won&#8217;t refer their friends to an ineffective product.  They do not have a customer service phone number, only an email address. On the up side, they do have a &#8220;Lifetime Money Back Guarantee&#8221;. All you have to do is return your empty bottle (because they want you to try an entire bottle before returning it) and any unopened bottles for a &#8220;quick refund&#8221; minus shipping and handling.</p>
<h3>How Much Does Leptitrex Cost?</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> normally costs $99.95 per bottle (a one month supply), but if you <strong>&#8220;BUY NOW before it’s Too Late!&#8221;</strong> you can get a discount.</p>
<h3>Leptitrex Review Conclusion</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> is trying too hard to cover all the bases. By focusing on fewer ingredients they could do more research and be sure to include proper amounts of effective ingredients. They may have spread themselves a bit thin.  With a lifetime moneyback guarantee, it may be worth a shot but, of course, that&#8217;s ultimately up for you to decide.</p>

<p>Letpovox has gathered quite a loyal following on the internet.  The story most likely goes that the company behind Lipovox (a similar product) saw the success of Leptovox and copied it.  It happens all the time with diet pills and for the most part, goes unchecked (because it happens so fast).  For example, take <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/nuphedragen-review/" >Nuphedragen</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/fenphedra-review/" >Fenphedra</a> and let me know which you prefer (I actually prefer Fenphedra).</p>
<h3>The Leptovox Difference</h3>
<p>What is the difference between <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptovox" rel="nofollow">Leptovox</a> and Lipovox?  The 10 Superfoods are present in both.  For a quick refresher, the 10 superfoods, known for their extremely healthy qualities are listed below.  I&#8217;ve referenced where I&#8217;ve reviewed one of the ingredients in more depth.  As time presents itself, I hope to have reviews available for all of them:</p>
<ol>
<li>Brazilian Acai</li>
<li>Cayenne Pepper Fruit</li>
<li>Garlic (see my <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >garlic review</a>)</li>
<li>Soybeans</li>
<li>Barley</li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >Wheatgrass</a></li>
<li>Kefir</li>
<li>Alfalfa</li>
<li>Flaxseed</li>
<li>Buckwheat</li>
</ol>
<p>The differences lie in the few other ingredients:</p>

<p align="left">Idebenone is supposed to help the skin slow the aging process and is present in plenty of wrinkle creams that you apply topically. <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is an effective stimulant for weight loss, and ALA has great benefits.</p>
<p align="left">Are these differences big enough to stew over? Definitely.</p>
<h3>Leptovox Reviewed Further</h3>
<p>One thing that might give <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptovox" rel="nofollow">Leptovox</a> something extra though is the fact that it comes with a 7-day detoxification pill.  These are not to be used regularly, as detoxifying your body too frequently can cause problems.  But detoxification in moderation is very healthful.  The weight lost from detoxification is <em>not</em> fat loss.  For the most part it&#8217;s just your body getting rid of waste.  You may notice that your stomach is a <em>bit</em> slimmer, but just a bit.</p>
<p>The only time I ever did a detox, it did feel great so I&#8217;d recommend giving it a shot.  It&#8217;s nice they bundle the detox with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptovox" rel="nofollow">Leptovox</a> so you can use them in concert with each other.</p>
<p>If you buy a bunch of Leptovox you get a whole slew of other diet pills so you can stack them for maximum results.  One is a carb/fat blocker and another is an herbal &#8220;pick me up&#8221; if you will.  We won&#8217;t get into these specifically, but I wanted to put that out there.</p>
<h3>Leptovox Guarantee</h3>
<p>Leptovox comes with a Lifetime moneyback guarantee, which instills confidence in me only when I&#8217;ve tested their customer service.  I did just that and sent them my normal email asking about an order that hadn&#8217;t arrived yet.  They responded about 14 hours later asking me for more information so they could resolve the issue.  Test passed.</p>
<p>Anyway, the lifetime guarantee is also done by Lipovox, but I don&#8217;t see it done by too many other diet pill companies so kudos to Leptovox for that.</p>
<h3>Overall Conclusion with Leptovox</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for bang for your buck, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptovox" rel="nofollow">Leptovox</a> is a great bet.  The 10 Superfoods are well known possessing very desirable nutritional profiles and the extra ingredients there (particularly the green tea) aid in weight loss quite a bit.  Letpovox is a solid bet, wit natural ingredients, so it gets a thumbs up.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<div class="alignright" style="display:none;">
<a href='http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox' rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/recommended_lipovox.jpg" alt="Try Lipovox" title="Try Lipovox" width="209" height="44" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-430 noborder" /></a>
</div>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/lipovox.gif" alt="Lipovox Bottle" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox">Lipovox</a> is one of my favorite diet pills.  Not because it has some amazing ingredient complex (though they do score points for being unique) or flashy packaging, but because they have the most unique sales pitch I&#8217;ve ever read.</p>
<h3>The Lipovox Story</h3>
<p>They let it start out in the serene state of Hawaii.</p>
<p>The gist of it is (and I can&#8217;t confirm the veracity of the story, entertaining&#8211;yes, true?  Who knows.  It&#8217;s probably somewhere in between) that a college student was watching Oprah where a certain Dr. Perricone was on the show talking about superfoods that combat the body&#8217;s natural aging process.</p>
<p>It may have been <a href="http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200411/tows_past_20041110.jhtml" target="_blank">this show</a>.</p>
<p>You can find the <a href="http://www.oprah.com/health/beauty/health_beauty_superfood.jhtml" target="_blank">ten superfoods listed here</a>.</p>
<p>The end of the story is that people not only improved their skin, but also lost weight.  Too good to be true?  I took a closer look.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Ingredients (the &#8220;Superfoods&#8221;)</h3>
<p>One of the superfoods listed is <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >wheatgrass, which I reviewed</a> (I&#8217;m neutral on it&#8211;healthy, yes, but does it do all the things proponents claim it can do? Research is lacking).</p>
<p>&#8220;Anything from the &#8216;Allium  Family&#8217;&#8221; includes garlic, which is what Lipovox includes.  Garlic is a very healthy supplement.  I took an <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >in-depth look at garlic</a> earlier today.</p>
<p>The full list of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a> ingredients (there are a ton):</p>
<ul>
<li>Brazilian Acai</li>
<li>Cayenne Pepper Fruit</li>
<li>Garlic (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >garlic review</a>)</li>
<li>Soybeans Isoflavones</li>
<li>Barley</li>
<li>Wheatgrass (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >wheatgrass review</a>)</li>
<li>Lactobacillus Acidophilus</li>
<li>Alfalfa Sprouts</li>
<li>Flaxseed</li>
<li>Buckwheat</li>
<li>Green Tea Extract (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea review</a>)</li>
<li> Salmon Oil Powder</li>
<li>Alpha Lipoic Acid</li>
<li>DMAE</li>
</ul>
<p>I hope to eventually review all of the ingredients included in Lipovox, but the heavy hitting weight loss ingredient (Green Tea) is already covered.  Flaxseed and Buckwheat should help with appetite suppression and it&#8217;s a given that Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a healthy probiotic.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a tossup.  They don&#8217;t provide supplement facts, so it&#8217;s impossible to tell <em>how much</em> of these ingredients are in <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a>.</p>
<p>As you can read in my review of Green Tea, research indicates that Green Tea does increase the metabolic rate and, hence, help you burn more calories.  These other ingredients are healthful so all in all, the ingredient profile here is pretty strong.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Customer Service</h3>
<p><strong>Email #1</strong></p>
<p>I emailed Lipovox customer service and inquired about &#8220;my order&#8221; that I had placed two weeks before.  I didn&#8217;t act irate, but the tone of my email was certainly one of annoyance.  They responded in 10 minutes&#8211;literally.   I thought that was a bit of an anomaly (maybe they were doing emails right then and I got lucky).</p>
<p><strong>Email #2</strong></p>
<p>So I sent another the next day from a different email address under a different name, different wording but similar situation.  The response came back in three hours.</p>
<p>You may consider implementing this customer service strategy with any company where you&#8217;re considering purchasing.  It&#8217;s important that you don&#8217;t just inquire about purchasing.  Of course they&#8217;re going to answer that one quickly.  You have to pretend you&#8217;ve already purchased and gauge their willingness to respond you once they <em>already have your money</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a>&#8216; customer service team passed my little test.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Acne Spin</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how I feel about Dr. Perricone.  It seems to me it&#8217;s just his way of making a buck.  If your skin does improve taking Lipovox, just consider it gravy &#8212; I wouldn&#8217;t buy this as a skin care pill.  I would buy it as a weight loss pill with a potential side benefit.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Testimonials</h3>
<p>If you read this site for longer than about three minutes you&#8217;ll realize that I don&#8217;t put any stock in testimonials as they are written on a company&#8217;s website.  Those are far too easy to fabricate.  For instance, look at this testimonial I just received:</p>
<blockquote><p>Cal, you are the hottest anonymous diet pill critic I have ever seen.  Please, let&#8217;s meet up.</p>
<p>Julie  &#8212; Atlanta, GA</p></blockquote>
<p>And that&#8217;s about all it takes.  A few keystrokes and a bit of an imagination.</p>
<p>I do attempt to find feedback about products that come from actual users of the product.  Internet forums don&#8217;t help.  Anyone can post there.  Blogs don&#8217;t help.  Anyone can leave a comment.  Amazon?  That&#8217;s a bit better.  Though even with Amazon, anyone can leave a review.  eBay?  eBay&#8217;s a special case and one that I like.  You can only give feedback if you&#8217;re on record as having purchased that product from that seller.</p>
<p>I found Lipovox for sale on eBay and it appears that the Lipovox company is the outlet there.  I contacted the seller and verified that they are indeed the same company as <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox.com</a>.  They&#8217;re feedback there, as of this writing, is at 98.5% &#8212; with over 50,000 feedback ratings!  I couldn&#8217;t believe their success there.</p>
<p>Now, eBay feedback taken into consideration, maybe this college kid really did stumble onto something.  I don&#8217;t put a lot of stock into the superfoods, as I&#8217;ve already mentioned, but I&#8217;m having a hard time coming up with the reason why in the face of their actual customer feedback.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Negatives</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t like when companies place images of magazines on their site to somehow add credibility.  <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a> did that with their Oprah, Shape, Fitness, and Self magazines spread across the top.  Yes, Oprah talked about the superfoods with Dr. Perricone, but that is hardly  an endorsement for Lipovox specifically.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t provide supplement facts.  Not many do without some sort of proprietary blend (off the top of my head, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/fenphedra-review/" >Fenphedra does</a>)  I wish the Lipovox company would.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t provide a lot of information about the company behind Lipovox.  While I&#8217;m put at ease when they respond to emails so quickly, I still wish they&#8217;d maybe say how long they&#8217;ve been around (from the ebay presence, I would say it&#8217;s several years&#8211;probably 3 or 4).</p>
<h3>Lipovox Positives</h3>
<p>Green Tea is an effective ingredient for weight loss and they have it in there.  The other ingredients are certainly healthful.</p>
<p>They offer a moneyback guarantee and don&#8217;t try and rope you into some crappy, rip-off autoship like <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/thermocerin-review/" >thermocerin</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/thermocerin-review/" >lipocerin</a>.</p>
<h3>Overall Conclusion on Lipovox</h3>
<p>New spin on an old problem, astounding track record on ebay, a bit hypey on the marketing side, but overall a contender in the diet pill market.  I give <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a> a green light.</p>

<p>I hope to eventually review all of the ingredients included in Lipovox, but the heavy hitting weight loss ingredient (Green Tea) is already covered.  Flaxseed and Buckwheat should help with appetite suppression and it&#8217;s a given that Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a healthy probiotic.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a tossup.  They don&#8217;t provide supplement facts, so it&#8217;s impossible to tell <em>how much</em> of these ingredients are in <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a>.</p>
<p>As you can read in my review of Green Tea, research indicates that Green Tea does increase the metabolic rate and, hence, help you burn more calories.  These other ingredients are healthful so all in all, the ingredient profile here is pretty strong.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Customer Service</h3>
<p><strong>Email #1</strong></p>
<p>I emailed Lipovox customer service and inquired about &#8220;my order&#8221; that I had placed two weeks before.  I didn&#8217;t act irate, but the tone of my email was certainly one of annoyance.  They responded in 10 minutes&#8211;literally.   I thought that was a bit of an anomaly (maybe they were doing emails right then and I got lucky).</p>
<p><strong>Email #2</strong></p>
<p>So I sent another the next day from a different email address under a different name, different wording but similar situation.  The response came back in three hours.</p>
<p>You may consider implementing this customer service strategy with any company where you&#8217;re considering purchasing.  It&#8217;s important that you don&#8217;t just inquire about purchasing.  Of course they&#8217;re going to answer that one quickly.  You have to pretend you&#8217;ve already purchased and gauge their willingness to respond you once they <em>already have your money</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a>&#8216; customer service team passed my little test.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Acne Spin</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t know how I feel about Dr. Perricone.  It seems to me it&#8217;s just his way of making a buck.  If your skin does improve taking Lipovox, just consider it gravy &#8212; I wouldn&#8217;t buy this as a skin care pill.  I would buy it as a weight loss pill with a potential side benefit.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Testimonials</h3>
<p>If you read this site for longer than about three minutes you&#8217;ll realize that I don&#8217;t put any stock in testimonials as they are written on a company&#8217;s website.  Those are far too easy to fabricate.  For instance, look at this testimonial I just received:</p>
<blockquote><p>Cal, you are the hottest anonymous diet pill critic I have ever seen.  Please, let&#8217;s meet up.</p>
<p>Julie  &#8212; Atlanta, GA</p></blockquote>
<p>And that&#8217;s about all it takes.  A few keystrokes and a bit of an imagination.</p>
<p>I do attempt to find feedback about products that come from actual users of the product.  Internet forums don&#8217;t help.  Anyone can post there.  Blogs don&#8217;t help.  Anyone can leave a comment.  Amazon?  That&#8217;s a bit better.  Though even with Amazon, anyone can leave a review.  eBay?  eBay&#8217;s a special case and one that I like.  You can only give feedback if you&#8217;re on record as having purchased that product from that seller.</p>
<p>I found Lipovox for sale on eBay and it appears that the Lipovox company is the outlet there.  I contacted the seller and verified that they are indeed the same company as <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox.com</a>.  They&#8217;re feedback there, as of this writing, is at 98.5% &#8212; with over 50,000 feedback ratings!  I couldn&#8217;t believe their success there.</p>
<p>Now, eBay feedback taken into consideration, maybe this college kid really did stumble onto something.  I don&#8217;t put a lot of stock into the superfoods, as I&#8217;ve already mentioned, but I&#8217;m having a hard time coming up with the reason why in the face of their actual customer feedback.</p>
<h3>Lipovox Negatives</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t like when companies place images of magazines on their site to somehow add credibility.  <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a> did that with their Oprah, Shape, Fitness, and Self magazines spread across the top.  Yes, Oprah talked about the superfoods with Dr. Perricone, but that is hardly  an endorsement for Lipovox specifically.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t provide supplement facts.  Not many do without some sort of proprietary blend (off the top of my head, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/fenphedra-review/" >Fenphedra does</a>)  I wish the Lipovox company would.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t provide a lot of information about the company behind Lipovox.  While I&#8217;m put at ease when they respond to emails so quickly, I still wish they&#8217;d maybe say how long they&#8217;ve been around (from the ebay presence, I would say it&#8217;s several years&#8211;probably 3 or 4).</p>
<h3>Lipovox Positives</h3>
<p>Green Tea is an effective ingredient for weight loss and they have it in there.  The other ingredients are certainly healthful.</p>
<p>They offer a moneyback guarantee and don&#8217;t try and rope you into some crappy, rip-off autoship like <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/thermocerin-review/" >thermocerin</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/thermocerin-review/" >lipocerin</a>.</p>
<h3>Overall Conclusion on Lipovox</h3>
<p>New spin on an old problem, astounding track record on ebay, a bit hypey on the marketing side, but overall a contender in the diet pill market.  I give <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=lipovox" rel="nofollow">Lipovox</a> a green light.</p>
