Atro-Phex Review

“Atro-Phex is one of the most powerful, innovative, and unique formulas ever introduced into the realm of weight management, energy, and performance enhancement."

That is the claim made on their website. As with all diet pills and weight loss supplements the question is does it pass the test?

Let's take a look at the ingredients and see.

• Phenylethylamine - A neurotransmitter in the brain, Phenethylamine is claimed to help increase the levels of dopamine. Dopamine is the feel good neurotransmitter and may have some correlation to overeating but research is still slim.

• Methylxanthine - Contains caffeine which is a proven diet pill ingredient.

• Green Tea - A proven weight loss ingredient, green tea has been shown to increase the metabolic rate, helping you to lose weight. Unfortunately, Atro-Phex doesn’t state how much Green Tea is in it to fully determine the effectiveness.

• L-Phenylalanine - Has been shown in clinical studies to aid in appetite suppression.

• Razberi Ketone - Found in raspberries hence the name and has been shown in certain studies to aid in weight loss.

• Advantra Z - Contains synephrine from bitter orange which at the right concentration is a high quality ingredient with fat burning properties. Unfortunately most companies that claim to use this ingredient don’t disclose the concentration of synephrine.

• Bioperine - Helps to increase the bioavailability of nutrients.

• Vinpocetine – Aids in increase blood flow to the brain and has not been shown to aid in weight loss.

• 7-Keto – Some studies show it is effective in weight loss, but at high dosages side effects such as heart palpitations were found.

Atro-Phex has a long list of ingredients but the ones highlighted above are the only ones of concern when it comes to weight loss. Don’t let long lists of ingredients fool you into believing that it must be better, this is a common marketing ploy.

Atro-Phex Review Conclusion:

Atro-Phex, like most diet pill companies, lists a few quality ingredients that have been proven to aid in weight loss and like most companies they neglect to tell you the amounts in their proprietary blend.

Bottom Line:

I am only tentatively recommending it because I don't have a full breakdown of the concentrations of the ingredients. That's not to say it won't help you lose weight though.

Try Atro-Phex and let me know your results.

Lean System 7 (LS7), by iSatori, contains a proprietary blend of 7 fat burning herbal compounds. LS7 claims that it is a “must-have on your supplement list” if you’re serious about losing weight.

Diet pill claims are always debatable so let’s take a look at the ingredients and see if it passes the test.

• 7-Keto - Studies show it is effective in weight loss, but at high dosages side effects such as heart palpitations were found.

• Yerba mate and Guarana – Similar properties to caffeine which claims to help in thermogenesis (fat burning). Research is limited but both are commonly found ingredients in diet supplements.
  

• Citrus Aurantium – AKA Bitter Orange contains synephrine which at the right concentration is high quality diet pill ingredient with fat burning properties. Unfortunately most companies that claim to use this ingredient don’t disclose the concentration of synephrine.

• Green Tea – Numerous studies have shown Green Tea to be a proven ingredient that will increase your metabolic rate which will in turn increase the amount of calories you burn.

• Dandelion – Diuretic properties that cause you to excrete more water and salt lowering your water retention which in turn lowers body weight.

• Bioperine - Helps to increase the bioavailability of nutrients.

Lean System 7 (LS7) Review Conclusion:

I have my reservations about 7-keto DHEA due too the negative publicity it has received for anti-aging claims. With that said it does appear to have some promise as a diet supplement. Further studies need to be done.

With that said I am a big fan of products that contain Citrus Aurantium and Green Tea. Both have solid clinical studies to support them. My only concern is the lack of concentrations of each ingredient in LS7.

Bottom Line:

Until more studies are done we won’t really know how effective it is. My suggestion is
try Lean System 7 for yourself and see if it works.

If you have tried it leave me some feedback on it.

“Can You Imagine Losing 4-7 Pounds Per Week Effortlessly?”

I recently came across this question (claim) by Apidexin so I decided to do a little research on it to find out.

Their website states that they “set out to create the world's strongest fat burner - Even stronger than Prescription Weight Loss Medications. In order to accomplish this tremendous feat we had to use ingredients that were: 1. Clinically Proven 2. Patented or Patent-Pending 3. And Produce Visible Results Fast!”

Obviously I agree that any weight loss supplement should have clinically proven ingredients but most companies out there like to stretch the truth about their “clinically proven” results.

Let’s take a look at the ingredients and see if it passes the test.

• Fucoxanthin – Most commonly found in brown sea weed and is used widely in Asian cuisine. Only research I could find was on obese mice which showed to have some positive effects.

• Razberi-K – Found in raspberries hence the name and has been shown in certain studies to aid in weight loss.

• Guggul EZ 100 - There is a small amount of evidence that indicates guggulsterones may also have value as a fat burner but the clinical studies are limited. More research is needed.

• Thermodiamine – Comes from a Chinese fruit that some claim burns fat by increasing the body's production of heat, as well as reducing the body's ability to store fat. Animal studies show some potential for Thermodiamine but more human trials need to be done.

• Forslean – Animal studies and research has shown that Forslean helps to reduce body weight and body fat. One study on humans showed that it helps mitigate weight gain in overweight females with apparently no clinically significant side effects.

• Lipolide SC – Increases the burning of fat by increasing your body’s thyroid hormone levels. Limited research at this time.

• Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate – Caffeine has been used for a long time as a weight loss aid and is a very common ingredient in many diet pills with a well established research history.

• Bioperine – Helps to increase the bioavailability of nutrients.

Apidexin Review Conclusion:

So the question remains “Can You Imagine Losing 4-7 Pounds Per Week Effortlessly?”

As usual the marketing does not live up to the hype. It's possible that Apidexin may have good potential as a weight loss supplement but I am not sold on their claim of losing 4-7 pounds per week effortlessly.

If you have tried it or you want to try Apidexin let me know what your results are.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an alert on tainted weight loss pills in December 2008 of 28 diet pills and as of January 2009 that list has expanded to a staggering 41.

"These tainted weight loss products pose a great risk to public health because they contain undeclared ingredients and, in some cases, contain prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, FDA. “Consumers have no way of knowing that these products contain powerful drugs that could cause serious health consequences. Therefore FDA is taking this action to protect the health of the American public."

You can see the full article at FDA news for the full list of products.

People need to be aware that there are many shady companies out there peddling lose weight quick schemes. Anytime you want to put a pill in your body you should know what you are taking. The supplement industry is not as regulated as the drug industry. So if you see a commercial with some fancy marketing be sure to do your homework before buying.

Stay tuned for future updates regarding diet pill reviews.

Hydroxycut is probably the most well-known of all weight loss supplements.

Let’s take a looks at the ingredients and see if it passes the test.

• Calcium – nothing special here but it is an essential mineral.
• Chromium – mixed results from clinical studies but it appears to have some promise.
• Potassium – again another essential mineral but not for weight loss.
  

Now let’s get into the proprietary trademarked ingredients of Hydroxagen Plus.

• Garcinia cambogia - 60% Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) – studies have shown it to act as an appetite suppressive qualities.
  

• Green Tea – Numerous studies have shown that Green Tea will increase your metabolic rate which will increase the amount of calories you burn.

• Gymnema sylvestre – Meant as an appetite suppressive but not backed by any sound clinical studies that I can find.

Hydroxycut Review Conclusion:

Hydroxycut offers one of the better weight loss supplements out there. As with everything there is no magic bullet and anytime you see someone saying they lost 55 lbs in 3 weeks using a diet pill they are lying to you. What you are frequently not told is that these people that lost a lot of weight went on serious exercise programs and diet regimens. The supplements are just that supplements to dieting and exercising.

Bottom line:

Taken alone with a few diet changes will greatly increase your chances of losing weight. Add in an exercise program and you have a 3 pronged approach to getting that body you want.

Hydroxycut is one of my top recommendations for diet pills.

Try Hydroxycut today and leave a comment to let everyone know how it worked for you.
