    Don’t be too impressed by the lengthy list of ingredients contained in QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. The truth is that NONE of the ingredients has been proven to contribute to cause weight loss. The ingredients in QuickTrim Fast Cleanse are healthy ingredients, but they will not cause significant long term weight loss.

    Taking QuickTrim Fast Cleanse will most likely land you on the toilet for several days. Therefore, you could lose some weight right away, but it is just water weight and will come back right away.

    If you are just looking to fit into a sensational dress for a night, maybe QuickTrim Fast Cleanse is for you, but you can be sure it won’t be a pleasant process and it won’t cause lasting weight loss.

    QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Cost

    QuickTrim Fast Cleanse costs $29.99 per bottle. One bottle lasts two days. This QuickTrim Fast Cleanse review finds this is too expensive for this product. There is no clinical evidence to prove QuickTrim Fast Cleanse will really cause weight loss.

    QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Guarantee

    QuickTrim does not actually sell QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. You have to purchase through a third party. Therefore, QuickTrim does not offer a guarantee. Check with the individual retailer to find out if they offer their own guarantee.

    QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Marketing

    The QuickTrim website is packed with pictures of the Kardashian sisters in skimpy clothing. In addition, they claim QuickTrim Fast Cleanse is used by many celebrities. Even if this is true, just because a celebrity endorses or uses a product doesn’t mean it is actually worth buying. In fact, in most cases, they’re the ones making money off of it.

    QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Conclusion

    This QuickTrim Fast Cleanse review finds QuickTrim Fast Cleanse is probably not the product for you. Unless you are looking to spend the next few days on the toilet, you don’t want to take QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. True, it might cause you to lose a little water weight, but it will NOT be long lasting. If you are looking to fit into that perfect dress, maybe you’ll want to try QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. Otherwise, look for a diet pill that includes clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

  • QuickTrim Extreme Burn

    quicktrim-extreme burnQuickTrim Extreme Burn is a diet pill that claims it will help you “Burn up to 8000 calories more per month!” and “Burn Calories 300% times faster” (website). This QuickTrim Extreme Burn review will detail the ingredients in QuickTrim Extreme Burn to help you decide if this is the product for you.

    QuickTrim Extreme Burn Ingredients

    Vitamin C (250 mg) is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.
    Niacin (20 mg) does not cause weight loss.
    Chromium (200 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.

    QT Capsimax Super Thermo Complex 225 mg
    Caffeine Anhydrous has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, QuickTrim Extreme Burn fails to list exactly how much caffeine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this QuickTrim Extreme Burn review to determine if there is enough caffeine in QuickTrim Extreme Burn to cause weight loss.
    Capsimax Capsicum Fruit is cayenne pepper. More research is needed to determine the effect of capsicum on weight loss.
    Metabromine is an appetite suppressant. This is another ingredient that needs more clinical backing.
    Bioperine increases the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. There is no research to suggest that Bioperine directly contributes to weight loss, but absorbing nutrients better is probably a good thing.

    Super C3G Lipolytic Complex (145 mg)
    Raspberry
    Blackberry
    Blueberry
    Acai Fruit Extract
    Trans-resveratrol
    Maqui Fruit
    Grape
    Pomegranate
    Cherry
    The ingredients in the Super C3G Lipolytic Complex contain anti-oxidants, which are important to good health. However, none of these ingredients have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Acai is especially popular right now, but don’t be fooled by the celebrity endorsements and bold claims made about acai. There is NO scientific evidence to show that acai does anything to contribute to weight loss.

    Raspberry Ketones (75 mg) have been proven to contribute to weight loss in mice. Will it cause weight loss in humans? Possibly.

    Extreme Fatloss Catalyst Complex (207 mg)
    Green tea is an excellent, clinically proven diet pill ingredient. To be effective, green tea has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. QuickTrim Extreme Burn fails to list how much green tea it contains, but considering there are only 207 mg total in the Extreme Fatloss Catalyst Complex, this QuickTrim Extreme Burn review finds there is no way QuickTrim Extreme Burn contains enough green tea to contribute to weight loss.
    N-acetyl-L-tyrosine causes weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Again, there is not nearly enough tyrosine in QuickTrim Extreme Burn diet pills to cause weight loss.
    Sensoril Ashwagandha
    Cinnamon Bark Extract
    Banaba Leaf Extract has been proven to lower blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Since QuickTrim Extreme Burn fails to list how much banaba it contains, there is no way of knowing if there is enough banaba in QuickTrim Extreme Burn to cause weight loss.
    Gymnema Sylvestre also helps control blood sugar levels.
    Sclariolide
    White Willow Bark Extract is an anti-inflammatory; it does not cause weight loss.

    The gist on the ingredients contained in QuickTrim Extreme Burn is that there are a few clinically proven ingredients included. However, it’s difficult to know if they are included in the necessary amounts.

    QuickTrim Extreme Burn Cost

    QuickTrim Extreme Burn is sold exclusively by GNC and costs $49.99. While this is a medium-high price for a diet pill, being that there isn’t much reason to believe QuickTrim Extreme Burn will actually cause weight loss, I’d say it’s too much.

    QuickTrim Extreme Burn Conclusion

    This QuickTrim Extreme Burn review finds QuickTrim Extreme Burn is not worth your time or money. It does contain a few proven ingredients, but not in the necessary amounts. If you really want to lose weight, go for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.

  • Slim Weight Patch

    slim weight patchSlim Weight Patch is a weight loss patch that claims it will help you “shed 8 lbs per month” (website). This Slim Weight Patch review will determine the validity behind the claims made about Slim Weight Patch to help you decide if this is really the product you have been looking for.

    Slim Weight Patch Ingredients

    According to the Slim Weight Patch website, the following ingredients are contained in Slim Weight Patch:

    Fucus Vesiculosus is brown algae. It is supposed to improve thyroid function. However, there is no scientific research to show it actually contributes to weight loss.

    Garcinia Cambogia has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, Slim Weight Patch does not reveal how much Garcinia Cambogia it contains. Additionally, the research done on Garcinia Cambogia was done on orally ingested forms. There is no research on how much Garcinia Cambogia in patch form in order to contribute to weight loss.

    Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) has been shown to be very effective in causing weight loss. Unfortunately, the FDA has recently warned consumers against taking HCA. This is due to very serious complications, including liver failure and death associated with HCA. This website cannot recommend any product that contains HCA.

    Slim Weight Patch Cost

    Slim Weight Patch costs $29.56 for a one month supply. There is a discount for bulk purchases. While this is not especially expensive for a weight loss product, considering there is no proof that Slim Weight Patch will actually contribute to weight loss, any amount is too much to pay for Slim Weight Patch.

    There simply is not enough research on weight loss patches. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.

    Slim Weight Patch Guarantee

    At first glance, the Slim Weight Patch guarantee looks pretty good; they give you 180 days to return the product for a “full money back” refund.

    However, when you look closer, the details make this guarantee much less appealing. In order to receive a refund you have to use the product for 120 days. Additionally, you will be charged $14.65 when obtaining a refund. This isn’t much of a refund. They are just trying to get more money by disguising it as a guarantee.

    Slim Weight Patch “Clinical Studies”

    The Slim Weight Patch website lists “clinical studies” associated with the ingredients contained in Slim Weight Patch. Just to make it perfectly clear, there have been NO clinical studies on Slim Weight Patch.

    The other thing they fail to mention is that all the clinical studies done on the ingredients were done when those ingredients were included in diet pills, NOT in weight loss patches. There has been no research done on weight loss patches, so there is no way of knowing how well the body absorbs the ingredients or how much of each ingredient is needed to cause weight loss.

    Slim Weight Patch Conclusion

    This Slim Weight Patch review finds Slim Weight Patch is not worth your time or money. There has been no research done on weight loss patches, so there is no way of knowing how it will affect people, including possible side effects. Don’t waste your time on Slim Weight Patch. Go for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.

  • T7 Extreme Review

    t7-extremeT7 Extreme is a diet pill that claims it will:
    “-Release stubborn fat
    -Enhance metabolic rate
    -Limit fat storage
    -Promote positive mood” (website).

    This T7 Extreme review will detail the ingredients contained in T7 Extreme as well as reveal the costs associated to help you determine if this is the answer to your diet pill needs.

    T7 Extreme Ingredients

    Zinc Aspartate is an amino acid. It does not contribute to weight loss.
    Fucoxanthin is from brown seaweed. It has been tested only on rodents. Even those tests did not show weight loss.
    Salix Mastunda is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.
    3,5-Dihydroxy Phenylacetate is supposed to improve thyroid function; it has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.

    As you can see, T7 Extreme diet pills do not contain many ingredients that have been proven to cause weight loss. By itself, it probably won’t do much. T7 Extreme, however, is designed to be an addition to other Cellucor weight loss products (like D4 Thermal Shock), and hence may be an effective additive to be used with these other products.

    T7 Extreme Cost

    T7 Extreme diet pills cost $62.99. If you take the recommended 3 capsules per day, one bottle of T7 Extreme will last you a month. This is on the expensive side for a diet pill. As mentioned, you’re recommended to take it combined with other Cellucor products, which can make it rather expensive.

    T7 Extreme Instructions

    The Cellucor website says you should take T7 Extreme for 4 weeks and then take the next 4 weeks off. Companies sometimes recommend taking time off from taking the product because the product can cause potential damage.

    I asked a customer service representative why they recommend taking time off and he said the receptors in the brain cause you to build up an immunity to T7 Extreme if you take it for more than 4 weeks.

    T7 Extreme Customer Service

    I contacted a customer service representative via the live chat on the Cellucor website. Although a lot of diet pill companies use automated answers on their “live chats”, Cellucor actually uses real people on their chats. I was actually very impressed with the knowledge of the representative.

    T7 Extreme Conclusion

    This T7 Extreme review finds this product contains no clinically proven ingredients; thus, there is no reason to believe it will actually cause weight loss by itself. When combined with other Cellucor products, however, it may help in the effectiveness. In addition, T7 Extreme is rather expensive.

  • D4 Thermal Shock Review

    d4D4 Thermal Shock is a diet pill that “helps you obtain your fat loss and fitness goals much more efficiently than previously thought” (website). This D4 Thermal Shock review will give you the information you can’t find on the Cellucor (D4 Thermal Shock manufacturer) website so you can determine if D4 Thermal Shock is the diet pill for you.

    D4 Thermal Shock Ingredients

    Embelic Myrobalan Extract
    Caffeine is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. Although D4 Thermal Shock does not list how much of each ingredient it contains, the customer service representative told me there are 298 mg of caffeine contained in D4 Thermal Shock. Based on this information, this D4 Thermal Shock review finds the caffeine in D4 Thermal Shock is sufficient to contribute to weight loss.
    White Willow Bark Extract is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.
    Octopamine has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.
    Yohimbine causes weight loss by mobilizing fatty acids. Unfortunately, D4 Thermal Shock does not reveal how much Yohimbine it contains.
    Evodiamine does contribute to weight loss.
    Scareolide
    Vinpocetine increases blood flow to the brain; it has not been shown to cause weight loss.
    Passion Flower Extract
    Acetyltyrosine has been shown to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Since there is no record of how much tyrosine D4 Thermal Shock contains, there is no way to determine if it will actually cause weight loss.

    This D4 Thermal Shock review finds the ingredients in D4 Thermal Shock could very well cause weight loss, if they are included in the necessary amounts. However, since D4 Thermal Shock does not list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing whether or not the product will cause weight loss.

    D4 Thermal Shock Cost

    D4 Thermal Shock diet pills cost $71.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 4 capsules per day, one bottle of D4 Thermal Shock will last a month. This is on the expensive side for a diet pill, but not outrageous considering it actually has potential to be effective.

    D4 Thermal Shock Customer Service

    I had several questions about D4 Thermal Shock, so I tried their live online chat. Usually this means you are chatting with a computer that can only answer general questions. However, the chat I had about D4 Thermal Shock was with a live person and was very informative.

    I asked what how much of each ingredient is included in D4 Thermal Shock. The representative (Jerry) told me that because of patent issues, they can’t release information on ingredient amounts.

    He did inform me that if you purchase D4 Thermal Shock you will receive free counseling from a personal trainer. With the trainer you agree on a feasible weight loss goal. If you do not achieve your goal, D4 Thermal Shock will refund your money. Fairly impressive.

    D4 Thermal Shock Conclusion

    This D4 Thermal Shock review finds there are several effective ingredients contained in D4 Thermal Shock diet pills. Unfortunately, there is no indication of how much of each ingredient is included. While this would usually be reason enough for us not to recommend a product, we really like the guarantee associated with D4 Thermal Shock and the great customer service.
