Zotrim Ingredients

Zotrim contains the following three ingredients:
Yerba Mate
Guarana
Damiana
Clinical studies have shown that these three ingredients (when used in conjunction in the appropriate amounts) do cause weight loss. However, Zotrim fails to list how much of each ingredient it contains. Therefore, it is impossible to know if Zotrim will cause weight loss.

While we do like the inclusion of Yerba Mate, Guarana, and Damiana, we would like to see another power player ingredient included as well, such as green tea or synephrine.

Zotrim Cost

Zotrim diet pills cost $19.95 for a one month supply. The Zotrim website claims the price is regularly $58.95.

Diet pill companies use this tactic to make you think you are getting a great deal so you will be more likely to purchase their product.

Although $19.95 is relatively inexpensive for a month supply of diet pills, since Zotrim hides how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing if it will cause weight loss. Therefore, any amount of money is too much to pay for Zotrim.

Zotrim and Clinical Trials

The Zotrim website claims, “We know from our clinical trials that whilst taking Zotrim you can experience an average weight loss of 11 lbs in 6 weeks, with a healthy rate of weight loss of 1-2lbs a week.” This is the only information about their “clinical trials”. There is no information about when, where, or who did the study.

Again, this is common among diet pill companies; they supposedly conduct their own clinical trials, but they are done in-house so they can tailor the results to their desires. We give no weight to Zotrim’s claims about clinical trials because there is no published information.

Zotrim Affiliate Program

Zotrim has an Affiliate Program (pyramid scheme) to help you earn money. In other words, you try to talk your friends and family into buying Zotrim and you get commission for every purchase they make. This is yet another tactic to get more of your hard-earned cash into Zotrim’s pocket. Don’t buy into it.
In addition to the Affiliate Program, you can sell your success story to Zotrim for them to publish on their website. This helps you see there is no credibility for any of these success stories.

Zotrim Guarantee

The Zotrim website says nothing about a guarantee for their product. We emailed their customer service about a guarantee but have not yet heard back from them (it is unusual for us to even get a response after emailing customer service). They do not have a customer service phone number.

Zotrim Conclusion

This Zotrim review finds Zotrim could help you lose weight, but since they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing. Save yourself time and money and go with a product that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

So how does Aspire stack up against the competition? This Aspire review will take a look at their ingredients, marketing, guarantee, and pricing to help you decide for yourself.

Ingredients

The Aspire weight loss product consists of 3 different formulas: Cleanse, Weight Loss, & Appetite Suppressant.

Cleanse is designed kick start your weight loss by ridding your body of toxins.
Weight Loss is meant to boost your energy and your fat burning capabilities.
Appetite Suppressant is (surprise!) supposed to help you eat less.

Aspire Cleanse

Lactobacillus Acidophilus
Psyllium Seed
Aloe Vera
Cascara Sagrada – A natural laxative, cascara sagrada is effective but has a number of side effects and safety warnings (such as don’t take it for longer than 7 days in a row).
Milk Thistle Seed
Fennel Seed
Rhubarb Root
Raspberry Leaf
Flaxseed
Goldenseal Herb
Dandelion Leaf

This is a pretty standard mix of fibers designed to cleanse your system.

Aspire Weight Loss

Raspberry
Guarana – Has shown to be effective when combined with yerba mate and damiana.
Green Tea – An effective and proven weight loss ingredient, green tea helps to increase the metabolic rate and is known for its fat burning capabilities.
GuggulsteronesWhile many claim that it aids in fat burning, research is lacking that supports this theory.
Rhodiola Rosea
Cinnamon Bark
Yerba Mate – Has shown to be effective when combined with guarana and damiana.
Banaba
Ginseng – Many believe that ginseng aids in weight loss, and early studies seem slightly supportive, but more definitive research is needed.
Dandelion Root
Alpha-lipoic Acid – While it’s true the alpha-lipoic acid helps produce energy, studies suggest that your body already makes enough of it so more isn’t likely to do much good.
Evodiamine
Chromium – Chromium plays in important role in blood sugar regulation. More research is needed, however, that shows that chromium supplementation leads directly to weight loss.

Aspire Appetite Suppressant

GlucomannanA dietary fiber that has quite a bit of research backing up its claims to be an effective appetite suppressant.
Fibersol-2
Hoodia GordoniiHoodia is a fad ingredient that has almost zero research backing up its claims to aid in weight loss through appetite suppression. It became popular by marketing, and not for its efficacy.

Some of the ingredients in Aspire are good and some are hype. If they disclosed the amounts of each ingredient, it would be much easier to gauge it’s effectiveness.

Aspire’s Marketing

First, the positive. I like that Aspire lists all of the ingredients in the different formulas and even has a little information about each one. This can be found by going to the FAQ’s, then clicking the question about the ingredients. While I wish they told us how much of each ingredient is in the mix, they’ve done more than some companies that I’ve seen.

What I don’t like about Aspire’s marketing is that the entire website feels like some hyped up sales pitch that almost tries to play off of people’s insecurities. You’ll see comments such as, “Do You Feel Like Crying When You Look In The Mirror? Use Aspire And Laugh Out Loud When You Get On The Scale” or “heads will turn wherever and whenever you walk by.”

Oh, and this was a favorite:

You should not be spending your time worrying or crying about your weight. If you really want to be slim and gorgeous and wear those hot bathing suits you’ve seen on the beaches (and only dreamed of wearing), we have the answer you’ve been waiting for.

As if we have to be slim and skinny in order to be happy and beautiful. I hope you can see through the shallow marketing.

I don’t however, see any big red flags other than the distasteful sales copy.

Aspire’s Money Back Guarantee

I was glad to see that Aspire offers a 90 day money back guarantee. Anything over 60 days in this industry is pretty good, so 90 days is a pretty solid guarantee.

I’m somewhat confused at something in their guarantee. Here’s what it says (emphasis added): “If you’re not happy with Aspire, contact us within 90 days of your purchase date and return the unused portion (even if you’ve used everything), and you’ll get a full refund (less shipping), no questions asked!”

The first part makes me believe that you can only get a refund for the unused (or unopened) bottles. But the second part in parenthesis makes it sound like you get a refund on all bottles, even if they were used (and are now empty).

I don’t have any big reason to believe that this ambiguous terminology isn’t intentionally trying to trick consumers, but If I were you I’d play it safe and only count on getting refunded for unused bottles.

Aspire’s Price

A one month supply is $49.97. If it’s effective, this isn’t a bad price for a weight loss product. Of course, they suggest you take it for 3 to 6 months (likely to pad their pockets a little more).

Conclusion

The Aspire weight loss product consist of a pretty good ingredient profile. Many of the ingredients have been proven, and some have not. Overall, as long as the ingredients are included in the correct amounts (which we can’t verify since they don’t disclose it) than it’s likely to be fairly effective. I like their guarantee and the price is decent. I don’t, however, like the manner in which they’ve marketed their product. You be the judge.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

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

Common symptoms of liver complications include:

• jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
• brown urine
• light colored stools
• unusual tiredness
• stomach pain
• itching
• loss of appetite
• weakness
• vomiting

In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while 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.” you can never be too cautious.

So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.

Phentramine Ingredients

Hoodia Gordonii (800 mg), despite being endorsed by various celebrities, has not been proven to contribute to weight loss; it is just another fad diet pill ingredient with nothing to back it.
L-Carnitine (25 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
L-Taurine (25 mcg) is supposed to increase energy, but research has yet to prove it.
Folic acid (600 mcg) is important to health, but it does nothing for weight loss.
Phentarmine proprietary blend (828 mg)
Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Yerba Mate but not Damiana. Thus, this Phentramine review finds the Guarana in Phentramine capsules will not cause weight loss.
Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Guarana but not Damiana.
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, a power player when it comes to diet pill ingredients. Synephrine is a proven ingredient, but only when it is included in a high concentration. Unfortunately, Phentramine does not say the concentration of Synephrine it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.
Green Tea has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Phentramine hides how much green tea is contained in the capsules.
Garcinia Cambogia contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.
Cayenne does nothing for weight loss.
Korean Ginseng
Gynemma Sylvestre helps control blood sugar levels, which can lead to weight loss.
7-Keto (DHEA) causes weight loss when used in doses of 100 mg or more per day.

Phentramine capsules contain some of the best diet pill ingredients. However, since Phentramine fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing if there is enough to cause weight loss. Usually this means the manufacturer has included only trace amounts of the proven ingredients (because they are expensive) but does not want the customer to know this. Thus, this Phentramine review finds Phentramine capsules might cause weight loss, but it is not worth the gamble.

Phentramine Cost

Phentramine capsules cost $69 on the Phentramine website for a one month supply. They want you to think you are getting a great discount off the regular price of $109. Even the $69 price is too much to pay for Phentramine capsules. There is a possibility that Phentramine capsules will work, but $69 is a lot to pay for a possibility.

Phentramine Guarantee

The Phentramine website says Phentramine is “100% Quality Satisfaction Guaranteed”. This is very misleading because the fine print says:
“There are NO Refunds after an order has been shipped. This is non-negotiable and indisputable within the terms and agreement accepted before final purchase” (website).
Thus, they are misleading people into thinking they can get a refund when the truth is hidden in the fine print.

Phentramine Conclusion

This Phentramine review finds that Phentramine capsules contain some proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden, making it impossible to know if Phentramine capsules will actually cause weight loss. This, combined with the misleading guarantee, keeps us from recommending Phentramine capsules.

LipoFlush diet pills supposedly “dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits” (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.

Hydroxycitric Acid Update

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.

LipoFlush Ingredients

Vitamin D3 (100 IU) does nothing for weight loss.

Vitamin B5 (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Vitamin B6 (25 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Vitamin B12 (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.

Folic Acid (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.

Biotin (100 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.

Potassium (99 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Calcium (415 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Magnesium (200 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Zinc (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.

Choline (650 mg) supposedly reduces body fat, but studies do not back up this claim.

L-Carnitine (450 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Bioperine (4 mg) increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Citrus Aurantium (300 mg) contains Synephrine, which is a great, proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration–the higher the better. LipoFlush does not disclose the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this LipoFlush review to determine if the Synephrine in LipoFlush diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (100 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but 100 mg isn’t going to do much.

Cordyceps Sinesis (100 mg)

Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg) does contribute to weight loss.

Hawthorne Berry (100 mg) does nothing for weight loss.

Caffeine (99 mg) is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is not enough caffeine in LipoFlush diet pills to be effective.

LipoFlush Proprietary Complex 4000 mg

Acanthopanax Senticosus

Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA)  helps produce energy. However, the human body makes plenty of ALA, so there is no need to supplement.

Banaba Leaf

Beta Sitosterol

Betaine

Capsicum

Cellulose

Cinnamon

Damiana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and guarana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and guarana, but it does not list how much of each is included.

Genistein

Ginger

Grape Seed

Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and damiana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.

Guggul extract is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, research does not support these claims.

Glycine

Hoodia does absolutely nothing for weight loss.

Inositol transports fat from the liver. Again, LipoFlush hides how much Inositol it contains.

Kelp

Kola Nut

Lecithin

L-Histidine

L-Tyrosine is effective when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that LipoFlush contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.

Green Tea is a very effective ingredient, but LipoFlush does not list how much green tea it contains.

Magnesium

Mucuna Puriens

Panax Ginseng

Phosphatidylserine

Quercetine dihydrate

Siler extract

Theobroma Cocoa Complex

White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.

Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.

LipoFlush Cost

LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.

LipoFlush Research

The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.

LipoFlush Conclusion

This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don’t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won’t break your bank.

Phenamax Ingredients

Citrin (400 mg)

Yerba Mate (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.

Green Tea (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.

Guarana (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.

White Willow Bark (60 mg) supposedly has a thermogenic effect, but further research is needed to substantiate these claims.

Cha de Bugre (15 mg) does not cause weight loss, despite what many diet pill companies claim.

Hordenine (30 mg) has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.

ForsLean (30 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.

Acacia Gum (50 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Phenamax $1 Trial and Price

Phenamax offers a $1 14-day trial. They hide the details in the fine print. If you don’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.

Phenamax Guarantee

The Phenamax website states, “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).” We really prefer to see 90 days to return a product. Be assured you will need to use this guarantee if you purchase Phenamax.

Phenamax Website

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’t mean Phenamax is a great product.

Phenamax Conclusion

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.

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.

• “BURNS FAT
• CARB ABSORPTION
• SUPPRESSES APPETITE
• INHIBIT FAT/CARBS
• INCREASE ENERGY” (website).

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.

Thermoloid Ingredients

Chromium (180 mg) has shown differing results in clinical trials. Until more conclusive research is done, we cannot recommend chromium as a diet pill ingredient.

Proprietary Thermogenic Blend (990 mg)

Green tea 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.

Caffeine anhydrous 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.

Yerba mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss only when combined with both Damiana and Guarana. Thermoloid does contain Guarana, but it does not contain Damiana.

Guarana 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.

Theobromine is used as a diuretic; it does not cause weight loss.

Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect of Synephrine is the concentration–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.

White willow is an anti-inflammatory; there is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.

L-Carnitine supposedly breaks down fats; however, there is no evidence to prove this.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) helps the body produce energy. Your body produces plenty of ALA on its own; you do not need to supplement with it.

Gugglesterones supposedly increase thyroid function. However, studies have shown conflicting results.

Bioperine helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not directly cause weight loss.

Fat/Carb Blocking and Appetite Suppressant Blend 432 mg

Chitosan 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.

Hoodia gordonii does nothing for weight loss.

CLA contributes to weight loss. However, Thermoloid does not say how much CLA it contains.

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.

Evodia has been shown to cause weight loss in mice. More human research is needed.

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.

Thermoloid Price

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.

Thermoloid Guarantee

The Thermoloid website says nothing about a guarantee, which means there probably isn’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.

Thermoloid’s Racy Marketing

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’t have to use such demeaning marketing tactics. If you choose to buy or even research Thermoloid diet pills, make sure your children aren’t in the room.

Thermoloid Conclusion

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.

Estrolean Ingredients

Phytoestrogen Hormonal Balancers:

Apple Extract (100 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.

Pomegranate Extract (standardized for 2% Estrone) (100 mg) is supposed to provide estrogen; it does not cause weight loss.

Sea Vegetable Extract (150 mg) does not cause weight loss.

Plant Based Enzymes:

Lipase

Protease

Amylase

Herbal Metabogenics:

Guarana Extract has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Estrolean does contain Yerba Mate, but it does not contain Damiana. Thus, this Estrolean review finds the Guarana in Estrolean diet pills will not contribute to weight loss.

Green Tea Extract is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, Estrolean fails to list how much green tea it contains, making it impossible to determine if there is enough green tea to cause weight loss.

Yerba 300 mg, Mate Extract (standardized for 66.6 mg caffeine) does contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Estrolean contains Guarana but not Damiana.

Ginger Root Extract (100 mg) has been shown to cal the stomach, but it does not cause weight loss.

Black Pepper Extract

Licorice

Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange) 66.6 mg (standardized for 4% synephrine)–Synephrine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. It is important to note the concentration of the synephrine included. Estrolean contains a 4 % concentration of synephrine. Ideally, you want to see a high concentration of synephrine. A 4% concentration of synephrine is not enough to contribute to weight loss.

Rhodiola rosea (50 mg) may help improve mood, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.

Rhododendron caucasicum Extract

Estrolean Cost

We found Estrolean diet pills online for as low as $16.49 per month. While this is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, the ingredients in Estrolean will not cause weight loss so any amount is too much for Estrolean.

Estrolean Guarantee?

Estrolean is manufactured by Bodyonics. Their website is not currently working. Thus, we found no guarantee listed through the manufacturer. Some websites do offer their own guarantee when you make a purchase. Given the ingredients in Estrolean (and that they hide how much green tea is contained), you would definitely need a guarantee with Estrolean diet pills. We are always concerned when the manufacturer’s website is not working.

Estrolean Conclusion

This Estrolean review finds Estrolean diet pills are not what you are looking for to fulfill your weight loss dreams. Estrolean does contain two proven ingredients (green tea and synephrine). However, they hide how much green tea is contained, and the concentration of synephrine is far too low to contribute to weight loss. We recommend looking for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

Power Thin Phase II Ingredients

Advantra Z contains synephrine, a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The concentration of synephrine determines how effective it will be–the higher the concentration the more effective it is. Unfortunately, Power Thin Phase II fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.

Caffeine has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Since Power Thin Phase II diet pills do not say how much caffeine they contain, it is impossible for this Power Thin Phase II review to determine if the caffeine included will be effective.

Green tea is another proven weight loss ingredient. Again, Power Thin Phase II hides the amount of green tea it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.

Cocoa seed extract is a feel good ingredient. It does not contribute to weight loss.

Maca

Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with Damiana and Guarana. However, Power Thin Phase II does not contain Damiana or Guarana.

Quercetin

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

Yohimbine does contribute to weight loss, but Power Thin Phase II does not list how much Yohimbine it contains.

Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL is supposed to break down fats. More research is needed to substantiate this claim.

Ginger root is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.

Gugulipid extract is supposed to increase thyroid function. More research is needed.

L-Tyrosine has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Power Thin Phase II diet pills contain enough Tyrosine to be effective.

White willow bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not contribute to weight loss.

Power Thin Phase II does include several clinically proven ingredients. Unfortunately, the specific amount of each ingredient is not disclosed (usually because they include only trace amounts of these ingredients). If Power Thin Phase II included these ingredients in proven amounts, we would recommend this product, but since they do not, we recommend looking elsewhere.

Power Thin Phase II Guarantee

Power Thin Phase II has an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee. We prefer having 90 days to return a product.

Power Thin Phase II Price

Power Thin Phase II diet pills cost $39.99 for a one month supply. While this is about average for a diet pill, since Power Thin Phase II fails to reveal how much of each ingredient is included, it is too expensive.

Power Thin Phase II Marketing

The Power Thin Phase II website is filled with sensationalized testimonials and photos of models measuring their tiny waistlines. Don’t be impressed by either one–they are probably all fabricated.

Power Thin Phase II Conclusion

This Power Thin Phase II review finds Power Thin Phase II does include several clinically proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, Power Thin Phase II fails to list how much of each ingredient it includes. Thus, we recommend finding a diet pill that is honest about its ingredients–one that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

Size 0 Ingredients

Weight Loss Support Blend 785 mg (Thermogenic/Metabolic Accelerator)

Caffeine Anhydrous is merely dried caffeine. It has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since Size 0 includes caffeine anhydrous in a proprietary blend, there is no way to know if there is enough to be effective.

Green Tea Extract has also been proven to contribute to weight loss. For green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. It is very unlikely that there is enough green tea in Size 0 diet pills to contribute to weight loss.

Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Guarana. Size 0 does not contain Damiana or Guarana.

Green Coffee Bean Extract inhibits weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.

Cordia Salisifolia Extract (Cha de Bugre) Although cordia salisifolia is included in many diet pills, there is no scientific evidence that it actually contributes to weight loss.

Cocoa Extract is a feel-good ingredient; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.

Taurine is often added to energy drinks, but studies have shown it has no effect on energy levels.

Citrus Naringin

Appetite Support Complex 17 mg (Food Craving Support Nutrients)

Hoodia Gordonii DOES NOT contribute to weight loss, although many diet pill companies claim it does.

Smithin Jojoba Seed Extract

Griffoniosimplicifolia Seed Extract

Beauty Support Blend 11 mg (Hair, Skin and Nails Nutrients)

Horsetail Leaf Extract

Hyaluronic Acid

Collagen, according to many diet pill companies, is supposed to reduce body fat. However, studies have not been able to prove this theory.

Choline is supposed to reduce body fat (according to diet pill companies), but science has not proven it.

Silica

Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. Size 0 does not list how much Inositol it contains.

Biotin is Vitamin B-7; it does not contribute to weight loss.

L-Cyctione

L-Methionine helps break down fats. You should not supplement with Methionine unless your doctor directs you to do so.

Coenzyme Q10

Chamomile Flower Leaf Extract

Estrogen Support Complex 4 mg (Hormonal Balancing Nutrients)

Choste Tree Berry

Daidzen

Dong Quai Root

Vitex Agnus Costus

Don’t be impressed or overwhelmed by the long list of ingredients included in Size 0. It merely means they have put in a VERY small amount of each ingredient. Size 0 does include a few proven ingredients, but odds are there is not enough of any ingredient to contribute to weight loss.

Size 0 Cost

A one month supply of Size 0 diet pills costs $49.95. This is extremely expensive, especially since Size 0 fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to predict how effective Size 0 will be.

Size 0 Guarantee

Size 0 has a 6 month guarantee policy. You can even return open bottles (although if you have used more than half the bottle they will only refund the amount of the unused portion). This seems like a pretty good guarantee.

Size 0 Marketing

The Size 0 website is incomplete. They claim they have made a “scientific breakthrough.” However, under the section titled “Size 0 Science”, there is no information. I would be interested to see what research they cite, since all the research we have seen (which is a considerable amount) says there is no possible way the proven ingredients in Size 0 could have been included in adequate amounts to contribute to weight loss.

It is interesting that Size 0 is enticing people to get back their “sexy, youthful figure” when they use what looks like a teenage model. Do they really expect people to believe they will look like the model if they use Size 0 (because the only way to get your body looking like the model’s is to go back in time)?

Size 0 Conclusion

This Size 0 review finds Size 0 diet pills are nothing out of the ordinary; they include a few proven ingredients, but not in large enough amounts to actually cause weight loss. Don’t waste your time on pills like these. Find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in appropriate amounts.
