Weightloss 16 is a diet pill that claims to cause:
“-Unbelievable energy
- Proven appetite suppression
-Noticeable, weight loss and size loss or your money back.
- Improved mental clarity and concentration during that ‘after lunchtime’ crash” (website).
This Weightloss 16 review will explore the ingredients contained in Weightloss 16 diet pills and help you realize what you can (or cannot) expect from this product.

Weightloss 16 Ingredients

Chromium Polynicotinate has shown varying results in clinical trials.

Vitamin B12 is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.

Caffeine increases metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. However, Weightloss 16 fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible to know if Weightloss 16 contains enough caffeine to cause weight loss.

Xanthinol Nicotinate has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Inositol Hexaniacinate helps transport fats from the liver; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss. Inositol is used to treat Panic Disorder, ADD, and Depression.

Green tea causes weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Weightloss 16 does not say how much green tea is contained in each serving.

Bitter orange (citrus aurantium) is an excellent diet pill ingredient. The important thing to note with citrus aurantium is the concentration it contains–the higher the concentration the better. There is no indication of the concentration of citrus aurantium in Weightloss 16.

Brown seaweed extract is an antioxidant, but it has not been proven to cause weight loss.

Enzyme blend containing:

Acid Protease

Amylase

Cellulose

Glucoamylase

Lactase

Lipase

Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory; it does not cause weight loss.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus

Weightloss 16 Cost

Weightloss 16 diet pills cost $15.95 per month. This is quite inexpensive as diet pills go. However, since Weightloss 16 contains only a few proven ingredients, and since the amounts of these ingredients is undisclosed, there is no way of knowing if Weightloss 16 will help you lose weight. Therefore, this Weightloss 16 review finds that any amount is too much to pay for Weightloss 16 diet pills.

Weightloss 16 Guarantee

Weightloss 16 claims to have a “100% NO QUESTIONS ASKED LIFETIME Money-Back Guarantee” (website). Unfortunately, there are no details given about the guarantee. This is quite common with diet pills. It usually means there is a lot of fine print they don’t want customers to know about.

Weightloss 16 Website

Weightloss 16 has a very unprofessional website. There was obviously very little time or money put into this site. In addition, the website is vague about the ingredients, dosage directions, and possible side effects associated with Weightloss 16.

There are several testimonials on the Weightloss 16 website. The before and after photos are low quality, and it is hard to tell if it is the same person in both photos.

Weightloss 16 Conclusion

This Weightloss 16 review finds that Weightloss 16 is not worth your time or money. There is no evidence to show Weightloss 16 actually contributes to weight loss. Do yourself a favor and use one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

MX-LS7 Ingredients

Green tea does cause weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, MX-LS7 hides how much green tea it contains.

Yerba Mate has been proven to cause weight loss but only when combined with Damiana and Guarana. MX-LS7 does not contain Damiana or Guarana. Thus, this MX-LS7 review finds the Yerba Mate in MX-LS7 will not contribute to weight loss.

Natural and anhydrous caffeine contribute to weight loss, but MX-LS7 does not list how much caffeine it contains.

Bioperine increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily cause weight loss.

Synephrine is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect of synephrine is the concentration–the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Once again, MX-LS7 does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Gugglesterone supposedly increase thyroid function, but research has shown varying results.

Clary sage

Coleus forskholii does cause weight loss, but there is no proof of how much coleus forskholii MX-LS7 contains.

Tyrosine causes weight loss when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day; it is unlikely that MX-LS7 contains enough Tyrosine to be effective.

Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.

Xanthinol Nicotinate has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Bacopa

Vinpocetine is used to treat age related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.

MX-LS7 Price

MX-LS7 diet pills cost $34.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill. Although MX-LS7 contains several clinically proven ingredients, it fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for MX-LS7 diet pills.

MX-LS7 Guarantee

MX-LS7 has an unconditional 60-day money-back guarantee. Unlike many other diet pill companies, MX-LS7 will even give refunds on open bottles. We like this guarantee, but be assured you will need it if you buy MX-LS7.

MX-LS7 Conclusion

MX-LS7 contains several of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately they do not list how much of each ingredient is included (probably because there are only trace amounts of these ingredients). Look for a diet pill with similar ingredients but one that includes them in the necessary amounts.

HydroxyRip Extreme Ingredients

Caffeine anhydrous (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.

Green tea (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.

White willow (60 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.

Deanol acetamidobenzoate hydrogentartrate (45 mg)

Inositol Hexaphosphate (45 mg) transports fat from the liver. It is used to treat ADD and depression.

Xanthinol Nicotinate (45 mg) is supposed to increase blood flow. Studies have shown Xanthinol Nicotinate DOES NOT contribute to weight loss.

Codonopsis pilosula extract 5:1 (30 mg)

Evodia Rutaecarpine Extract (30 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human studies need to be done.

Inula racemosa extract (30 mg)

Yohimbe bark extract (30 mg) increases fatty acid mobilization, leading to weight loss.

Aspidosperma quebrachoblanco extract (15 mg)

Troxerutin sophora japonica extract (15 mg)

Cinidium monnieri extract (12 mg) has anti-anxiety effects; it does not cause weight loss.

Bioperine (3 mg) increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. More research is needed to determine if Bioperine actually contributes to weight loss.

HydroxyRip Extreme contains only three proven ingredients (caffeine, green tea, and yohimbine). You can find a much more effective diet pill.

HydroxyRip Extreme Cost

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.

HydroxyRip Extreme Guarantee

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.

HydroxyRip Extreme Conclusion

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.

*Update: Hydroxycut Recall

On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products. Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products. The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems. Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA’s report. In light of this new report, Hydroxycut-branded products are no longer recommended on this site.

Considering the millions of people who have taken Hydroxycut products, 23 accounts of health complications is a relatively low number. Nevertheless, you should never place yourself in any unnecessary risk. Symptoms of liver problems include: jaundice (yellowing of the skin), brown urine, light colored stools, unusual tiredness, stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, weakness, and vomiting. You can see the full FDA report here.

The products that are currently being recalled by Iovate include:

• Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets
• Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
• Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets
• Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets
• Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
• Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
• Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
• Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
• Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed
• Hydroxycut 24
• Hydroxycut Carb Control
• Hydroxycut Natural

You can also see Hydroxycut’s informational page about the recall for more information.

Also, according to the FDA, “The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.” Some believe, however, that the health problems stem from the ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, also known as HCA. Further study and research is needed to confirm this theory, but until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

What are the ingredients in Hydroxycut Max?

Caffeine has been shown to increase metabolic function and we support it as a diet pill ingredient.  Don’t be impressed when they say caffeine anhydrous (here’s why).

Green tea is one of our favorite diet pill ingredients; it has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing your metabolic rate.

Xanthinol Nicotinate has been shown to increase brain glucose metabolism, improve brain ATP levels. and improve brain blood flow.  Weight loss though? It’s anyone’s guess.

Black tea has been shown to contribute to weight loss in combination with other ingredients, but not on its own. (source: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/patient-black_tea.html)

Wu Long tea (also known as Oolong tea) has been shown to increase metabolism. (source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13678386?dopt=AbstractPlus)

Rooibos tea is full of antioxidants, but does nothing for weight loss.

Cissus Quadrangularis extract has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with other ingredients. There have been no studies done on the weight loss effects of Cissus Quadrangularis alone.

Aralia mandschurica powder is said lead to increased memory, vigor, and faster mental processing.

Garcinia Cambogia%u2019s primary active compound is Hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The long and short of it is that HCA has research backing it as an effective weight loss ingredient.

Well, here we are again with another product that uses several proven ingredients but fails to disclose exactly how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually (okay, always) because they don’t want you to know how little of the key ingredients are actually included. It’s funny that they can add just a little of an ingredient and charge you through the roof for it! Without knowing exactly how much of each ingredient is included, it is impossible for this Hydroxycut Max review, or for any consumer, to determine how effective this product is.

How much does Hydroxycut Max cost?

A bottle of Hydroxycut Max diet pills will cost you $59.99. Each bottle contains 120 liquicaps. If you take 6 liquicaps per day, the maximum recommended dose, it will cost you $3 per day. This is extremely expensive, especially considering you don’t know how much of the proven ingredients are included in the formula.

What are the side effects of Hydroxycut Max?

The side effects of Hydroxycut Max diet pills include heartburn, gas, nausea, increased bowel movements, headaches, hot flashes, sleeplessness, and dizziness. I don’t know about you, but forking out $3 a day for the opportunity to have these side effects with the remote possibility of weight loss doesn’t sound especially appealing.

Hydroxycut Max Conclusion

This Hydroxycut Max review finds that the product is really no different from most other fat burners. They fail to disclose the amount of each ingredient and charge you through the roof for it. We recommend finding a diet pill that is forthcoming about their ingredient amounts. Look through our recommended products.

***Update: Please see the Hydroxycut review update at the top of the page for recent information about Hydroxycut.

Thincinerator is “The Strongest Female Fat Burner Clinically Proven To Cut Body Fat on Women!” (Thincinerator website). Thincinerator diet pills will, according to the official website, “Burn up to 873 calories with every serving!” This Thincinerator review will determine if there is any validity to these claims and whether or not Thincinerator actually works.

What is in Thincinerator?

Here is a list of the ingredients contained in one serving (one capsule) of Thincinerator:

• Green Tea (50% Caffeine) 200 mg
• Caffeine Anhydrous 100 mg
• Dicaffeine Malate 100 mg
• Xanthinol Nicotinate 50 mg
• Cayenne standardized to 1% capsacain 50 mg
• Ginger 20% gingerols 50 mg
• Kelp 30 mg
• Rasberry Ketones 30 mg
• Synephrine HCl 30 mg
• Guggul EZ100 20 mg
• Bioperine 5 mg

Green tea has been proven to be an effective contributor to weight loss. Participants in a green tea study were given 300 mg of green tea per day. These participants experienced substantial weight loss.

Caffeine Anhydrous–studies have shown that caffeine does increase metabolic function, which can lead to weight loss.

Dicaffeine Malate–Many claim this is the equivalent of Ephedra–it isn’t. There is no research to prove it. Without any research, what we do know is that it contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase metabolic function.

Studies show raspberry ketones induced weight loss in mice with a diet containing 2% of the total diet as raspberry ketones. No studies have been done on humans. Note: in order to take in 2% of raspberry ketones as your total diet you would have to take a ton of these Thincinerator diet pills. ((http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15862604))

Is Synephrine effective? One study performed in December of 2007 looked at the lipolysis (fat loss) effects of Satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus unshu Mark) peel on the fat cells of rats (I know, it’s always rats). A high concentration of Synephrine was present in the peel and lipoloysis effects were present.

The overall conclusion:

These results suggest that the segment wall, an edible fraction, from Satsuma mandarin orange might be useful as a functional food, especially as a fat-reducing material ((J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2008 Dec;53(6):547-51.)).

In a 2005 statement issued by Robert E. Brackett, a director at the Food and Drug Administration before the House of Representatives he mentioned that they had found a 4% concentration of Synephrine in citrus aurantium while other times finding a concentration of chemical Synephrine of up to 90%.

I suppose if you were just going for weight loss, you’d hope yours had the 90% concentration. Thincinerator does not reveal the concentration of the Synephrine it contains. That’s not to say they don’t have 90% concentration, we’re only highlighting the fact that we don’t know what the concentration is.

Bioperine is an extract from the fruit Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). Both of these contain the active ingredient that you’re looking for: Piperine. They call it a “thermonutrient” because it “enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity.” I don’t know if the ability to absorb more nutrients will directly translate into lost weight, but the added health benefits of Bioperine should not be overlooked.

What are the side effects of Thincinerator diet pills?

The side effects of Thincinerator include jitters, headaches, and sleeplessness. These side effects are due to the high caffeine content. As with any diet pill, consider your personal reaction to caffeine before taking Thincinerator. Some report great results using weight loss pills high in caffeine concentration, while others stay up at night. Start slowly and gauge your tolerance.

What does the research say about Thincinerator?

Although the Thincinerator website alludes to several clinical studies proving the effectiveness of Thincinerator diet pills, there has not been a study done specifically on Thincinerator itself (this is rare in the diet pill industry — to have a study done on an actual product — the reason? It can cost in the six figures to have one done). Studies have been done on several of the ingredients. These studies have found green tea, caffeine, and synephrine to be effective ingredients in diet pills.

The Thincinerator website lists the following benefits:

• Thincinerator is clinically proven to burn 5.8x the calories during exercises.
• Ingredients clinically proven to increase metabolism by 28% and cut body fat by 10%
• Drop pounds with Green Tea: Shown in research to decrease body fat by 8%!

How much does Thincinerator cost?

One bottle of 60 capsules of Thincinerator costs $49.99. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, Thincinerator will cost you about $2.50 per day, or $75 per month (the cost per day goes down as you buy more in quantity). This is a bit on the high side, but is palpable if you consider that Thincinerator is actually disclosing the amounts of ingredients they’re using, and that those ingredients are effective.

Does Thincinerator have a Satisfaction Guarantee?

Thincinerator offers a lifetime money back guarantee (minus shipping). You have to send back your empty bottle (and any other bottles “in resaleable condition”) and your money will be returned “without questions!” This is an unbelievably generous moneyback guarantee. I’ve only seen it with a few other products (coincidentally, those products have also risen very quickly in popularity, one of them being Lipovox).

Thincinerator Review Conclusion

This Thincinerator review finds that Thincinerator does contain several proven ingredients. It also contains ingredients that lack any clinical support, but we usually let those go if there is enough effective ingredient for the diet pill to do its job. While we like the inclusion of green tea, the amount of caffeine in this product is high so we would advise you to proceed with caution and gauge your body’s tolerance.

As long as you take this product knowing your body’s reaction to caffeine, you should be safe taking it. We do not doubt this product can cause weight loss.
