Razor 8

Razor 8

 

Razor 8 is a fairly inexpensive diet supplement at $16 per bottle.  It claims to help suppress your appetite and to help you burn that extra fat.  The question is does it work?

Pros

The main unique ingredient we are looking at with Razor 8 is Clary Sage (salvia sclarea) extract, which is known to be an effective aid in burning fat as causes the body to rely more on fat cells for energy.  The other ingredients included in Razor 8 are all pretty basic. 

I am happy to see ingredients like Green Tea Powder, White Willow Powder, and Ginseng, all of which are welcome additions to a good supplement.

Cons

The overall concentration of the mix is a bit weak.  That is, the individual concentrations of each of these ingredients appears to be too low to make a significant difference for you.

In general, the company and the official website do little to describe what each of these ingredients will do for you or cite any scientific evidence regarding their effectiveness.  Therefore I can only tell you that if you are looking to invest in some Razor 8, you will be buying yourself a pretty-colored bottle of uncertainty.

Conclusion

I do not recommend Razor 8 for its lack of information and scientific evidence as well as the low concentrations of its key ingredients.  It’s not a bad mix for a diet supplement, but there is little information to say it’s reliable and simply cannot be the best out there. 

 

Meridia

Meridia

Meridia (sibutramine HCL monohydrate) is a prescription weight-loss medication developed by Abbott Laboratories and marketed internationally. 

Does Meridia Work?

Being an FDA approved prescription product, there is obviously a lot of research behind sibutramine.  Studies have shown it to be an effective appetite suppressant by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain.   However, the effects are marginal and are meant to be included in a carefully balanced exercise and diet program.

Meridia Side Effects

Common ones include…

  • Dry mouth
  • Increased appetite
  • Nausea
  • Strange taste in the mouth
  • Sexual impotence

Other health concerns have been raised and research is ongoing, looking into reports of sudden death, renal failure, and heart failure.

Meridia Pros

  • FDA approved

Meridia Cons

  • Pretty serious health risks
  • Prescription hassle
  • High Cost

Meridia Conclusion

Given the serious health concerns related to Meridia and the pain of getting a prescription, I would not recommend that this be the first product you try.  There are much safer and likely more effective options out there and just because the product is FDA approved does not mean it is the best.

Slim Tea

Slim Tea

slimtea.jpg

Slim Tea is a weight loss beverage that claims to improve digestion and increase metabolism. Slim Tea makes no promises to guarantee weight loss but some testimonials claim it works. This overveiw will give a description of the product, outline strengths and weaknesses and give an overall recommendation. Slim Tea seems to induce diarrhea rather than “sooth and calm nerves” after a meal.

Slim Tea says its a “healthy alternative for weight loss.” Slim Tea comes in original or ultra tea formulas. Oolong Tea leaves is the big ingredient and works to increase digestion. Users are recommended to drink Slim Tea after each meal to “naturally” speed up digestion. But based on testimonials, this “natural” digestion gives the user diarrhea. This is simply an expensive laxative. Slim Tea costs $11-$17 for 60 tea bags.

Pros:

  • Improves digestion.
  • Utilizes natural ingredients.
  • Easily available online

 

Cons:

  • Gives users diarrhea.
  • Weight loss may be temporary 

Conclusion

Slim Tea causes diarrhea, which is not a healthy form ofweight loss. Slim Tea definitely speeds up digestion after a meal, but this is not a healthy diet plan. It is just sending everything strait through you with out absorbing vital nutrients. This product could leave you dehydrated and malnutritioned. While Slim Tea is cheap, users should look for better, more permanent alternativesto weight loss.

Lida Daidaihua Slimming Capsules Review

What are Lida Daidaihua Slimming Capsules?

“Lida Dali” is a weight loss supplement made from Chinese herbs.  Their big claim is that you will lose 30 lbs. and suffer no negative side effects.  The Lida Daidaihua Slimming Capsules are also designed to speed up the metabolism and help users lose more weight.

Do Lida Daidaihua Capsules Work?

If it were possible, every one of us would like to take a pill that drops our weight for us.  Unfortunately, reality says that even the best diet supplements should be accompanied by diet and exercise.  Nowhere does Lida Daidaihua Slimming Capsules recommend a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Customer reviews are both positive and negative with regards to the results experienced while using Lida Daidaihua.

Are Lida Daidaihua Capsules Safe?

Another one of the big seling points found on the Lida Daidaihua site is that it has no proven side effect.  Is this true?  If you go on to read a little more closely you will find a warning that if not taken with enough water, the user could become weak and/or dizzy.

Why is Lida Daidaihua Capsuels so Expensive?

To buy a one-month supply you will pay at least $50.00.  That is quite a bit above the average price you should be paying for a weight loss supplement.

Lida Daidaihua Capsule Pros

Works to speed up metabolism
Ingredients are natural

Lida Daidaihua Capsule Cons

Lacks proven weight-loss ingredients
Blood pressure issues
Expensinve

Lida Daidaihua Conclusion

Thanks to modern advances in science we don’t have to depend solely on ancient practices and herbs.  We can learn from the past and create a better future.  Keep reading to find the greatest new products whih have been top rated by consumers like you!

Mega T Green Tea

Mega T Green Tea

Mega T Green Tea is a product made by CCA Industries.  From the main site, the company states: “We believe, over a period of time, you can lose up to 20 lbs…”  All of this is possible if you follow their exercise and diet plan.  I don’t know if I’m stating the obvious, but I’m pretty sure over “a period of time” just about anything “can” happen.  Do you even need this supplement to help with that?

Does Mega T Green Tea work?

This supplement contains only one ingredient. You guessed it - Green Tea.  Green tea is a fantastic ingredient and is rich in antioxidants and is widely used to help people burn fat.  I have no problem with green tea, but this product is nothing unique.

Mega T Green Tea Price

This stuff can be bought for as cheap as $16 a bottle, but there is really nothing in this product to make it even that expensive.  Green tea is great and all, but it is also very cheap. 

Mega T Pros

  • Contains green tea!

Mega T Cons

  • Contains only green tea and is therefore…
  • Over-priced

Mega T Green Tea Conclusion

I am all for green tea supplements, but this is a little ridiculous to try and charge this much for just green tea. I do not recommend Mega T Green Tea.
