		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/zenaleanpro.jpg" alt="zenaleanpro" title="zenaleanpro" width="81" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1370" />
<p>Zenalean Pro is a diet pill that is supposed to melt the pounds away. It includes several powerful ingredients, but the possible dangers outweigh the benefits. This Zenalean Pro review will reveal the truth behind Zenalean diet pills to help you determine if this is the right diet pill option for you.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana Extract</a> (standardized to 200 mg of caffeine) (400 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Unfortunately, Zenalean Pro does not contain either of these other two ingredients. Therefore, this Zenalean Pro review finds the Guarana in Zenalean Pro will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Sida Cordifolia Extract (350 mg) is often used to treat a variety of illnesses including cough and flu. However, Sida Cordifolia does contain ephedrine. Ephedrine (also known as ephedra) is a very effective diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, it has very serious side effects (including death) and has been banned by the FDA. Before you consider taking Zenalean Pro diet pills, be sure you understand the possible side effects associated with using ephedrine.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (standardized to 5 mg of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">synephrine</a>) (45 mg) is another proven diet pill ingredient. When looking at synephrine it is important to notice the concentration included. Zenalean Pro does not state the concentration of synephrine it includes; therefore, it is impossible for this Zenalean Pro review to determine if the synephrine in Zenalean Pro diet pills is sufficient to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 100 mg</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract is an anti-inflammatory; there is no evidence to show it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Obviously, there is not enough L-Tyrosine in Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger Root</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Extract does contribute to weight loss when taken  in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since the proprietary blend contains only 100 mg, it is impossible for you to get enough green tea from Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Cost</h3>
<p>We found Zenalean Pro diet pills online for as little as $34.95 per month. Each bottle contains 120 capsules. This is relatively inexpensive as diet pills go, but considering the possible serious side effects, it is still too much to pay for Zenalean Pro.</p>
<h3>How to take Zenalean Pro</h3>
<p>You are supposed to take one capsule per day for 30 days and then take 60 days off. It is concerning that they give you 120 capsules in one bottle when you should go through that many capsules in a year if you are taking them correctly. If you decide to take Zenalean Pro, DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE PILL PER DAY.</p>
<h3>Who makes Zenalean Pro?</h3>
<p>Zenalean Pro was made by Fast Action Pharma, which is now Nutra Costal. Zenalean Pro is not found on the Nutra Costal website. We emailed the company (they give no phone number) to ask if they still make or distribute Zenalean Pro, but we are yet to get a response. You can purchase Zenalean Pro from a number of online retailers. You might be able to get a refund if you purchase Zenalean Pro and don&#8217;t like it, but it is unlikely you will get a refund from the manufacturer.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Zenalean Pro review finds that Zenalean Pro could very well be an effective diet pill. However, with the inclusion of ephedrine, the benefits are not worth the possible risks. If you are serious about losing weight, check out our recommended products.</p>

<p>LipoCut Hardcore diet pills claim to be &#8220;the most powerful fat burner on the market&#8221; (website). This LipoCut Hardcore review answers your questions about LipoCut Hardcore so you have all the facts before deciding if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>What are the ingredients in LipoCut Hardcore diet pills?</h3>
<p>The following is the ingredient list found on the LipoCut Hardcore website.</p>
<p><strong>Green tea</strong> (45% EGCG) (300 mg) does cause weight loss, and unlike many other diet pills, LipoCut Hardcore actually contains enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><strong>Caffeine</strong> (300 mg) is another great diet pill, and once again LipoCut Hardcore has included enough caffeine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Ciccus Quadrangularis</strong> (5% Ketosteroids) (200 mg) does contribute to weight loss when combined with other ingredients.</p>
<p><strong>White Willow</strong> (25% Salicin) (100 mg) is an anti-inflammatory, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>DMAE Bitartrate</strong> (50 mg) is a mood enhancer, but it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Xanthinol Niconate</strong> (50 mg) improves brain blood flow, but there is no proof that it causes weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Evodia Rutaecarpa</strong> (20% Evodiamines) (40 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss in rodents but not in humans.</p>
<p><strong>Inula Racemosa</strong> (min. 2% Alantolactone) (20 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Inositol Hexaphosphate</strong> (IP-6) (20 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Apidosperma Quebracho-Blanco </strong>(.3% Alkoids) (12 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Codonopsis Pilosula</strong> (11 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Cnidium Monier</strong> (10 mg) is supposed to help with circulation.</p>
<p><strong>Bioperine</strong> (5 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Yohimbine HCL</strong> (4.5 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Other Ingredients: <strong>Magnesium Stearate, Gelatin</strong></p>
<p>WARNING: LipoCut Hardcore contains a very high amount of caffeine. Be sure to evaluate your own reaction to caffeine before taking this product.</p>
<p>So what does all this add up to? This LipoCut Hardcore review finds LipoCut Hardcore contains some great ingredients. These are ingredients you will find in dozens of other diet pills. We would really like to see a power player ingredient like Synephrine in LipoCut Hardcore. Is it revolutionary? No.  Is it possible that it will help you lose weight?  If you can stand the high amounts of caffeine, it&#8217;s quite possible. </p>
<h3>What if LipoCut Hardcore doesn&#8217;t work for me?</h3>
<p>The LipoCut Hardcore website states, &#8220;Lose 10 pounds in 30 days or your money back guaranteed.&#8221; There is no further information about the guarantee. This usually means they make you jump through a million hoops and you still don&#8217;t get your money back. There is no way to call the company; you can only email their customer service. We were not able to find any more information on the guarantee (or lack thereof).</p>
<h3>How much does LipoCut Hardcore cost?</h3>
<p>LipoCut Hardcore diet pills cost $29.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, you will spend $44.93 per month. There is a discount for purchasing in bulk.  </p>
<h3>LipoCut Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>LipoCut Hardcore will likely help you lose weight. The lack of details about a guarantee, however, would lead me to believe that there are other diet pills that will give you better results. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/charge-asf.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-826" title="charge-asf" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/charge-asf.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="151" /></a>Charge ASF is a diet pill &#8220;designed to give you the appetite suppression, energy boost, and fat-burning control you need, all without Ephedrine&#8221; (website). This Charge ASF review explains the ingredients contained in Charge ASF and reveals the truth behind the &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221; of Charge ASF diet pills.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a><span> Extract (200mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when it is taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. If you take the recommended dosage of Charge ASF, you will get 400 mg of green tea per day. Thus, this Charge ASF review finds the green tea in Charge ASF diet pills will cause weight loss.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>Extract (550mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Charge ASF diet pills do not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (9mg synepherine) 150mg does contain the proven ingredient <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>. Unfortunately, Charge ASF fails to mention the concentration of Synephrine (which is the most important aspect). Therefore, it is impossible for this Charge ASF review to determine if the concentration of Synephrine is enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract (50mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger </a>Root (10mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Charge Thermoblend: 375mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg or more per day. Since this proprietary blend contains only 375 mg; Charge ASF simply does not contain enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span> has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Naringin<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Charge ASF Price</h3>
<p>Charge ASF diet pills cost $22.99 for 120 capsules; if you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, but the only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is green tea. You would do just as well taking green tea (and it would be less expensive).</p>
<h3>Charge ASF &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221;</h3>
<p>I searched the Labrada (Charge ASF manufacturer) website for a guarantee policy. While I found no return policy, their &#8220;quality guarantee&#8221; says, &#8220;If it&#8217;s on the label, it&#8217;s in the product&#8221; (website). This is no guarantee. Labrada does not really guarantee their products. You will not get your money back if you buy Charge ASF.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Charge ASF review finds this is a mediocre product. It contains only one proven ingredient in a proven amount. Charge ASF does not live up to its claims. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes several proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p>Charge ASF diet pills cost $22.99 for 120 capsules; if you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, but the only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is green tea. You would do just as well taking green tea (and it would be less expensive).</p>
<h3>Charge ASF &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221;</h3>
<p>I searched the Labrada (Charge ASF manufacturer) website for a guarantee policy. While I found no return policy, their &#8220;quality guarantee&#8221; says, &#8220;If it&#8217;s on the label, it&#8217;s in the product&#8221; (website). This is no guarantee. Labrada does not really guarantee their products. You will not get your money back if you buy Charge ASF.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Charge ASF review finds this is a mediocre product. It contains only one proven ingredient in a proven amount. Charge ASF does not live up to its claims. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes several proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/phenamax.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-824" title="phenamax" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/phenamax.jpg" alt="" width="77" height="150" /></a><span style="#eaf335;">Phenamax is a diet pill that claims it will help you &#8220;Lose up to</span> 25 pounds in 25 days&#8221; (website). This Phenamax review finds Phenamax could help you lose weight, but it will not live up to its claims.</p>
<h3>Phenamax Ingredients</h3>
<p>Citrin (400 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate</a> (400 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Phenamax does contain Guarana, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Phenamax review finds the Yerba Mate in Phenamax is ineffective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> (300 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Phenamax does contain enough green tea to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>(90 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Phenamax does contain Yerba Mate, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Phenamax review finds the Guarana in Phenamax is ineffective.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark (60 mg) supposedly has a thermogenic effect, but further research is needed to substantiate these claims.</p>
<p>Cha de Bugre (15 mg) does not cause weight loss, despite what many diet pill companies claim.</p>
<p>Hordenine (30 mg) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >ForsLean </a>(30 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Acacia Gum (50 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Phenamax $1 Trial and Price</h3>
<p>Phenamax offers a $1 14-day trial. They hide the details in the fine print. If you don&#8217;t cancel within the 14 day window, you will be enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you more product each month and charge your credit card) and you will be charged $69.95. This Phenamax review finds Phenamax diet pills do contain a few proven ingredients in proven amounts, but $69.95 is WAY too expensive for Phenamax. You could buy green tea and ForsLean separately for much less money and get the same results.</p>
<h3>Phenamax Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Phenamax website states, &#8220;If you are not completely satisfied with Phenamax for any reason, simply return all unopened bottles within 30 days from your invoice date and we will refund you the total cost (excluding shipping/handling/restocking-fee).&#8221; We really prefer to see 90 days to return a product. Be assured you will need to use this guarantee if you purchase Phenamax.</p>
<h3>Phenamax Website</h3>
<p>The Phenamax website looks like dozens of others we have seen. The main page is packed with testimonials about green tea. There are no testimonials about Phenamax itself. Also, there is no information about Phenamax diet pills on the main page. It makes me wonder why they are promoting green tea and not their product. We agree that green tea is a great diet pill ingredient, but just because green tea works doesn&#8217;t mean Phenamax is a great product.</p>
<h3>Phenamax Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Phenamax review finds that Phenamax is nothing special. It contains two clinically proven ingredients, but it is very overpriced. We recommend looking for a product that contains several proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thermo-phen-phen-gold.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-817" title="thermo-phen-phen-gold" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thermo-phen-phen-gold.jpg" alt="" width="88" height="151" /></a>Thermo Phen Phen Gold is a diet pill that contains ephedra, which has been banned by the FDA due to the possibility of serious side effects. Thermo Phen Phen Gold is far too expensive and the vague guarantee is concerning. Anyone thinking about taking Thermo Phen Phen Gold should do some serious research on ephedra to determine if the risk is worth the possible reward.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Gold Ingredients</h3>
<p><span style="x-small;">Proprietary Herbal Blend 2284 mg</span></p>
<p>MaHuang Extract (standardized for 20 mg Ephedrine)contains ephedra. Ephedra does contribute to weight loss, but it has been banned by the FDA due to its very serious side effects.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>Seed Extract has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. Thermo Phen Phen Gold does not contain Damiana or Yerba Mate. Thus, this Thermo Phen Phen Gold review finds the Guarana in Thermo Phen Phen Gold is ineffective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> Leaf Extract has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since Thermo Phen Phen Gold hides the amount in a proprietary blend, there is no way of knowing how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p>St. John&#8217;s Wort (0.3 % hypericin)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-phenylalanine-review/" >L-Phenylalanine</a> is found in chocolate. It is supposed to make you feel good, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. More research is needed to determine if it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<ul><span style="x-small;"></p>
<p></span></ul>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Gold Cost</h3>
<p>Thermo Phen Phen Gold diet pills cost $44.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 12 per day, one bottle will last 10 days. This is an outrageous price for this product! We cannot recommend a product containing ephedra.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Gold Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>Thermo Phen Phen Gold has an &#8220;Affiliate Program.&#8221; Basically you sign up to sell the product for commission. We generally find companies using affiliate programs have something to hide (like a really bad product). Don&#8217;t get suckered into it.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Gold Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Thermo Phen Phen Gold website says they offer a full refund for bottles that are at least half full. They require that you use the product for at least 10 days before returning it. They do not specify if they have a restocking fee.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Gold Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Thermo Phen Phen Gold review finds this product is overpriced and possibly dangerous. We cannot recommend any product containing ephedra. There are safer, effective alternatives (like Synephrine). Read through our recommended products to find a safe product that will give you great weight loss results.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thermo-phen-phen.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-816" title="thermo-phen-phen" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thermo-phen-phen.jpg" alt="" width="88" height="151" /></a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Thermo Phen Phen is a diet pill that will &#8220;help to decrease your appetite while simultaneously giving you more energy causing you to burn more calories&#8221; (website). This Thermo Phen Phen review shows you the truth behind the claims made by Thermo Phen Phen, showing that this product is too expensive and ineffective.<br />
</span></span></p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Ingredients</h3>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (6% Synephrine) (300 mg) <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>is clinically proven to contribute to weight loss. The higher the concentration of Synephrine, the more effective it is at causing weight loss. Unfortunately, Thermo Phen Phen contains only a 6% concentration of Synephrine. Thus, this Thermo Phen Phen review finds the Synephrine in Thermo Phen Phen will not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>Extract (1100 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Yerba Mate. You will note Thermo Phen Phen diet pills do not contain either Damiana or Yerba Mate. The Guarana in Thermo Phen Phen will do nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark (50 mg) is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. Some claim it helps to enhance the thermogenic effect, leading to weight loss. However, more research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate</a> (200 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>St. John&#8217;s Wort (200 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-phenylalanine-review/" >L-Phenylalanine </a>(200 mg) is a feel-good ingredient; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Cost</h3>
<p>Thermo Phen Phen diet pills cost $29.99 for 100 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 9 capsules per day, one bottle will last 11 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill. None of the ingredients contained in Thermo Phen Phen is included in a proven amount. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for Thermo Phen Phen. Don&#8217;t waste your time or money; Thermo Phen Phen will only leave you disappointed.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>Thermo Phen Phen has an &#8220;Affiliate Program.&#8221; In other words, you con other people into wasting their money on Thermo Phen Phen and you get commission. Companies with legitimate diet pills don&#8217;t have to use &#8220;Affiliate&#8221; programs. Their products are good enough to sell themselves.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Thermo Phen Phen website says they offer a full refund for bottles that are at least half full. They require that you use the product for at least 10 days before returning it. They do not specify if they have a restocking fee.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen and Tolerance</h3>
<p>The following warning is found on the Thermo Phen Phen website:</p>
<p>&#8220;After you have used the same dosage of Thermo Phen Phen for two to three weeks you may notice that the effects lessen. This is perfectly normal. Unfortunately your body will develop a tolerance to the thermogenic ingredients in Thermo Phen Phen. The only remedy is to either increase the dosage or cut back enough to diminish the tolerance.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is just one more reason not to try Thermo Phen Phen. If tolerance is such a problem with this product, they need to fix it.</p>
<h3>Thermo Phen Phen Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Thermo Phen Phen review finds there is nothing good to say about Thermo Phen Phen. It contains no proven ingredients in necessary amounts, it has a pathetic &#8220;Affiliate Program&#8221;, and it is way too expensive. Look at our recommended products to find a diet pill that will actually work.</p>

This HydroxyRip Extreme review will unravel the truth behind these claims to show HydroxyRip Extreme is just another diet pill.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> (300 mg) is the same as regular caffeine. It does contribute to weight loss. However, this HydroxyRip Extreme review finds HydroxyRip Extreme diet pills contain a very high amount of caffeine (since there is caffeine in green tea as well). You should consider your own reaction to caffeine before deciding to take HydroxyRip Extreme or any other diet pill.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (270 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, you will only get enough green tea to cause weight loss if you take the maximum recommended dose of HydroxyRip Extreme.</p>
<p>White willow (60 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Deanol acetamidobenzoate hydrogentartrate (45 mg)</p>
<p>Inositol Hexaphosphate (45 mg) transports fat from the liver. It is used to treat ADD and depression.</p>
<p>Xanthinol Nicotinate (45 mg) is supposed to increase blood flow. Studies have shown Xanthinol Nicotinate DOES NOT contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Codonopsis pilosula extract 5:1 (30 mg)</p>
<p>Evodia Rutaecarpine Extract (30 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human studies need to be done.</p>
<p>Inula racemosa extract (30 mg)</p>
<p>Yohimbe bark extract (30 mg) increases fatty acid mobilization, leading to weight loss.</p>
<p>Aspidosperma quebrachoblanco extract (15 mg)</p>
<p>Troxerutin sophora japonica extract (15 mg)</p>
<p>Cinidium monnieri extract (12 mg) has anti-anxiety effects; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(3 mg) increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. More research is needed to determine if Bioperine actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>HydroxyRip Extreme contains only three proven ingredients (caffeine, green tea, and yohimbine). You can find a much more effective diet pill.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Cost</h3>
<p>HydroxyRip Extreme diet pills cost $19.99 for 120 capsules. The NSI (HydroxyRip Extreme manufacturer) website claims the retail price of HydroxyRip Extreme is $74.99. This is common among diet pill companies; they want you to think you are getting a great deal so you will buy their product. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but you could get a much more effective diet pill for the same price.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Guarantee</h3>
<p>The NSI website says nothing about a guarantee for HydroxyRip Extreme. This usually means there is no guarantee. If you purchase HydroxyRip Extreme from another website or retailer, they might have their own guarantee or return policy. Be sure you know what the return policy is before purchasing any product.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Conclusion</h3>
<p>HydroxyRip Extreme does contain some good proven diet pill ingredients. However, you can find these same ingredients in more effective diet pills for about the same price. Look through our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>

<ul>
<li class="style1"><span style="#ffcc00;">&#8220;BURNS FAT</span></li>
<li class="style1"><span style="#ffcc00;">CARB ABSORPTION</span></li>

<li class="style1"><span style="#ffcc00;">INCREASE ENERGY&#8221; (website).</span></li>
</ul>
<p>This Thermoloid review will challenge the claims of Thermoloid and reveal the distasteful marketing practices of Thermoloid to show you what you can really expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Thermoloid Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> (180 mg) has shown differing results in clinical trials. Until more conclusive research is done, we cannot recommend chromium as a diet pill ingredient.</p>
<p>Proprietary Thermogenic Blend (990 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, Thermoloid fails to disclose how much green tea it contains so there is no way of knowing if the green tea in Thermoloid diet pills will be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> is no different from regular caffeine. It does contribute to weight loss when included in the correct amount. Since Thermoloid includes caffeine anhydrous in a proprietary blend, this Thermoloid review cannot determine if there is enough caffeine anhydrous to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba mate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss only when combined with both <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Guarana</a>. Thermoloid does contain Guarana, but it does not contain Damiana.</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 only when combined with both Damiana and Yerba Mate. Thermoloid does contain Yerba Mate, but it does not contain Damiana.</p>
<p>Theobromine is used as a diuretic; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect of Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the Synephrine is at contributing to weight loss. Unfortunately, Thermoloid fails to list the concentration of the Synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>White willow is an anti-inflammatory; there is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> supposedly breaks down fats; however, there is no evidence to prove this.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a> (ALA) helps the body produce energy. Your body produces plenty of ALA on its own; you do not need to supplement with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Gugglesterones </a>supposedly increase thyroid function. However, studies have shown conflicting results.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not directly cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Fat/Carb Blocking and Appetite Suppressant Blend 432 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chitosan-review/" >Chitosan </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but it has to be taken in doses of 3 grams per day. Thus, this Thermoloid review finds it is impossible for Thermoloid to contain enough Chitosan to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a> does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>CLA contributes to weight loss. However, Thermoloid does not say how much CLA it contains.</p>
<p>Cha de bugre is supposed to be a miracle cure for everything from curing herpes to healing wounds. Research has NOT shown cha de bugre contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Evodia has been shown to cause weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.</p>
<p>You will notice Thermoloid diet pills do contain several proven ingredients. However, since Thermoloid does not say how much of each ingredient is included, this Thermoloid review cannot recommend Thermoloid.</p>
<h3>Thermoloid Price</h3>
<p>Thermoloid diet pills cost $29.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the recommended 6-10 capsules per day, one bottle will last 6-10 days. This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. There is no evidence that Thermoloid will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Thermoloid Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Thermoloid website says nothing about a guarantee, which means there probably isn&#8217;t one. If you buy Thermoloid from another website, there might be a guarantee through that specific website. If you choose to buy Thermoloid, be sure you know what the return policy is; you will probably need it.</p>
<h3>Thermoloid&#8217;s Racy Marketing</h3>
<p>Thermoloid is made by Goliath Labs. They use nearly pornographic images to try to sell Thermoloid. If they had any confidence in Thermoloid, they wouldn&#8217;t have to use such demeaning marketing tactics. If you choose to buy or even research Thermoloid diet pills, make sure your children aren&#8217;t in the room.</p>
<h3>Thermoloid Conclusion</h3>
<p>Thermoloid diet pills contain some impressive proven ingredients. Unfortunately, they hide how much of each ingredient is included. If these ingredients were included in appropriate amounts, Thermoloid would be a great diet pill. However, since there is no way of knowing how much of each ingredient is included, this Thermoloid review cannot recommend Thermoloid.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Increases Calorie Burning</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Assists in Appetite Control</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Reduces Stress and Anxiety&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>This Razor8 review will examine the ingredients in Razor8 diet pills as well as reveal the truth behind the Razor8 marketing to help you determine if Razor8 is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea </a>(467 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Razor8 review finds the amount of green tea in Razor8 diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Salvia Sclarea (300 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Panax Ginseng (150 mg) Research on Panax Ginseng states, “Although preliminary data suggest that ginseng (Panax ginseng) may improve glucose tolerance, no RCTs in humans have shown greater weight loss with ginseng compared with placebo.” ((http://www.aafp.org/afp/20041101/1731.html))</p>
<p>White Willow (150 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> (133 mg) is no different from regular caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate.</p>
<p>Kola Nut (100 mg) is supposedly an appetite suppressant. However, research fails to prove this.</p>
<p>Evodia Rutaecarpa (80 mg) has been proven to cause weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root</a> (40 mg) is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(5 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients. It has not been proven contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>(5 mg) is used to treat age-related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The only clinically proven ingredients in Razor8 are green tea and caffeine.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Cost</h3>
<p>Razor8 diet pills cost $24.99 for 45 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle of Razor8 will last 11 days. This is extremely expensive for a diet pill. Since green tea and caffeine are the only proven ingredients in Razor8, you would be much better off buying these ingredients separately; it would save you a lot of money.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Guarantee</h3>
<p>Razor8 offers a 30-day full money back guarantee (minus shipping and handling). We would prefer to see a longer period for guarantees.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Marketing</h3>
<p>The Razor8 and Allmax Nutrition (Razor8 manufacturer) websites show bulging muscles and beautiful bodies. This is very misleading; you will not get ripped from using Razor8. While the green tea and caffeine in Razor8 could result in weight loss, it will not leave you with a body like you see being shown by Razor8.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Razor8 review finds Razor8 is nothing special. It does contain two proven ingredients (green tea and caffeine). It would be much less expensive to buy these ingredients separately, and it would give you the same results. We would prefer to see these ingredients combined with a good fat burner like synephrine. Look through our recommended products for one that is right for you.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Increases Calorie Burning</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Assists in Appetite Control</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Reduces Stress and Anxiety&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>This Razor8 review will examine the ingredients in Razor8 diet pills as well as reveal the truth behind the Razor8 marketing to help you determine if Razor8 is the product for you.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea </a>(467 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Razor8 review finds the amount of green tea in Razor8 diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Salvia Sclarea (300 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Panax Ginseng (150 mg) Research on Panax Ginseng states, “Although preliminary data suggest that ginseng (Panax ginseng) may improve glucose tolerance, no RCTs in humans have shown greater weight loss with ginseng compared with placebo.” ((http://www.aafp.org/afp/20041101/1731.html))</p>
<p>White Willow (150 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> (133 mg) is no different from regular caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate.</p>
<p>Kola Nut (100 mg) is supposedly an appetite suppressant. However, research fails to prove this.</p>
<p>Evodia Rutaecarpa (80 mg) has been proven to cause weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root</a> (40 mg) is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(5 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients. It has not been proven contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>(5 mg) is used to treat age-related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The only clinically proven ingredients in Razor8 are green tea and caffeine.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Cost</h3>
<p>Razor8 diet pills cost $24.99 for 45 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle of Razor8 will last 11 days. This is extremely expensive for a diet pill. Since green tea and caffeine are the only proven ingredients in Razor8, you would be much better off buying these ingredients separately; it would save you a lot of money.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Guarantee</h3>
<p>Razor8 offers a 30-day full money back guarantee (minus shipping and handling). We would prefer to see a longer period for guarantees.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Marketing</h3>
<p>The Razor8 and Allmax Nutrition (Razor8 manufacturer) websites show bulging muscles and beautiful bodies. This is very misleading; you will not get ripped from using Razor8. While the green tea and caffeine in Razor8 could result in weight loss, it will not leave you with a body like you see being shown by Razor8.</p>
<h3>Razor8 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Razor8 review finds Razor8 is nothing special. It does contain two proven ingredients (green tea and caffeine). It would be much less expensive to buy these ingredients separately, and it would give you the same results. We would prefer to see these ingredients combined with a good fat burner like synephrine. Look through our recommended products for one that is right for you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>MaxxTrim is a diet pill that &#8220;has been a proven &#8217;secret weapon&#8217; used to melt fat for millions of consumers, athletes, and movie stars worldwide with an amazing track record unmatched by any other supplement in existence&#8221; (website). This MaxxTrim review will dissect the bold claims made by MaxxTrim to reveal what you can really expect from MaxxTrim diet pills.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Ingredients</h3>
<p>Proprietary Blend 200 mg</p>
<p>Thermo-Rx/Acacia Rigidula is contained in many diet pills, but it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Theobrome Cocoa Extract is a mood enhancer. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Yohimbe Bark causes fatty acid mobilization, leading to weight loss. Unfortunately, MaxxTrim diet pills do not list how much yohimbe they contain.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(200 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange Extract (40 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. More important than the amount of synephrine is the concentration contained&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. Unfortunately, MaxxTrim does not reveal the concentration of synephrine contained.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea </a>(50 mg) is another clinically proven diet pill ingredient. However, studies have found green tea is only effective when included in amounts of at least 300 mg per day. This MaxxTrim review finds there is not enough green tea in MaxxTrim diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root Powder</a> (40 mg) calms the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Powder </a>20 mg</p>
<p>Bladderwrak Powder 40 mg</p>
<p>Mustard Seed Powder 20 mg</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Powder (60 mg) is an anti-inflammatory; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Cost</h3>
<p>MaxxTrim costs $54.95 for 30 day supply.  When you purchase MaxxTrim diet pills from the MaxxTrim website, you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship you more pills each month and charge your credit card).</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Guarantee</h3>
<p>MaxxTrim gives refunds only on unopened bottles and only within 30 days of purchase. So, if you only order one bottle and it doesn&#8217;t work for you, you can&#8217;t get your money back. We do not like the unopened bottles only policy, nor do we like that MaxxTrim only gives you 30 days to return the product.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Marketing</h3>
<p>The MaxxTrim website makes some bold claims about MaxxTrim being better than any other product. When you look at the ingredients, you realize the only ingredient contained in a sufficient amount is caffeine. Thus, MaxxTrim is really no different from numerous other diet pills out there. Don&#8217;t be fooled by MaxxTrim&#8217;s outrageous claims; you will only be disappointed.</p>
<h3>MaxxTrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This MaxxTrim review finds there is no difference between MaxxTrim and dozens of other diet pills out there. It contains several proven ingredients, but not in sufficient amounts to cause weight loss. Look for a diet pill which contains enough of each proven ingredient.</p>
