Zenacort

Zenacort

Does Zenacort Work?

Zenacort is the latest product to come from Innovative Laboratories. It claims to give you energy, curb your appetite, and give you “maximum results.” Let’s take a more in-depth look at Zenacort and see if any of their claims have validity.

Ingredients in Zenacort

Zenacort is comprised mainly of Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia Gordonii comes from a cactus in Africa and is a purported appetite suppressant. There are no scientific studies that support Hoodia’s claims however. If you look at customer reviews of any Hoodia based product, you’ll quickly find that it hasn’t won over customers quite yet.

The other ingredients in Zenacort are nothing new or revolutionary by any means. There is just a lot of the same stuff that is found in nearly every weight loss supplements. There are a lot of stimulants in Zenacort, which may cause side effects.

What is missing in Zenacort is an effective fat burner.

Side Effects of Zenacort

Users of Zenacort have complained of side effects such as headaches, anxiety, insomnia and headaches.

Price of Zenacort

Including shipping, Zenacort can be bought for around $50. This is extremely expensive for a product that is lacking an effective burner.

Zenacort Pros

  • Possible Increased Energy

Zenacort Cons

  • No proven ingredients
  • Expensive
  • Possible Side Effects
  • No scientific studies

Zenacort Conclusion

There is more fiction than fact to Zenacort’s claims. For a product with so many unproven ingredients, Zenacort is expensive. We do not recommend Zenacort.

 

 

Water Pill

Water Pill

What is the Water Pill?

The Water Pill is made by Natrol and claims to help with “weight management” as well as temporarily relieving occasional bloating. If you are thinking about buying the Water Pill, please continue reading.

Ingredients in the Water Pill

The Water Pill is comprised of many vitamins and minerals. Although these are great for overall health, they aren’t going to help you lose weight.

The main ingredient in the Water Pill is Vitamin B6. The Water Pill contains more than 6000% of the daily value of Vitamin B6. This vitamin is purported to help with bloating.

The only other major ingredient in the Water Pill is Calcium. Calcium helps build strong bones but has no links to weight loss.

Missing from the Water Pill ingredient mix are an effective fat burner and an appetite suppressor.

Cost of the Water Pill

The Water Pill is cheap. You can find a bottle online for around  $8. To put it bluntly, however, the reason why the Water Pill is so cheap is that there is nothing that is really in it besides a few vitamins and minerals.

No Satisfaction or Money Back Guarantee

With the Water Pill, there is no satisfaction or money back guarantee.

Water Pill Pros

  • Contains many vitamins and minerals
  • Relatively cheap

Water Pill Cons

  • No appetite suppressors
  • No fat burners
  • No satisfaction or money back guarantees

Water Pill Conclusion

Although the Water Pill may possibly help with occasional bloating, it contains nothing that will help you lose weight. The top diet pills ranked below excelled in several categories including: efficacy (does it work!), safety, company reputation, return policies and guarantees, and price.

 

 

Ventilean

Ventilean

What is Ventilean?

Ventilean is made by Pharmagenx. It is purported to help you burn weight quickly and speed your way to a lean body. That sounds good to me, let’s take a closer look at Ventilean and see if their claims are valid.

Ventilean Ingredients

Ventilean is comprised of a proprietary blend. This automatically raises a red flag. With proprietary blends, we are unable to determine how much of each ingredient is contained. This makes it easy for companies to mask an ineffective and cheap ingredient mix.

There are a few ingredients we like in Venitilean, caffeine and synephrine. Caffeine has been shown to increase both mental and physical outputs. Synephrine acts the same way as Ephedra but without the side effects. It is an effective burner.

Ventilean also contains Yohimbe. Yohimbe has been linked to numerous side effects and has no scientific research to link it to weight loss.

The other ingredients in Ventilean are nothing new or special. They are very ordinary and are common to most weight loss supplements.

What Ventilean is missing is an effective appetite suppressor.

Side Effects of Ventilean

Users of Ventilean have complained of anxiety, insomnia, and nausea, among other things. Ventilean contains many stimulants.

Price of Ventilean

Ventilean can be found online for around $40. This is very expensive for a product without a lot of proven ingredients

Ventilean Pros

  • Ventilean contains Synephrine and Caffeine

Ventilean Cons

  • Possible Side Effects
  • Expensive
  • Missing an appetite suppressor
  • No Clinical Studies

Ventilean Conclusion

Although Ventilean contains a few high quality ingredients, it doesn’t contain enough of them to have the potency to help you lose weight. The top diet pills ranked below excelled in several categories including: efficacy (does it work!), safety, company reputation, return policies and guarantees, and price.

 

 

Vanquish

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Vanquish

What is Vanquish?

Vanquish is produced by S.A.N. and claims to help curb your appetite as well as give you energy. While we can’t say we haven’t heard similar claims in the past, let’s take a look at Vanquish.

Ingredients in Vanquish

According to the makers, Vanquish contains many “revolutionary and novel ingredients.” To be exact, Vanquish is comprised of three ingredients each of which is nothing new or close to revolutionary. Eighty-percent of Vanquish is comprised of Hoodia Gordonii.

Hoodia Gordonii comes from Africa and is purported appetite suppressor. However, if there ever was an ingredient that is over-hyped and unproven, it is Hoodia. There are no published scientific reports that support Hoodia as an appetite suppressor. Manufacturers ignore this because it is a cheap and it sounds exotic because it is from Africa.

What Vanquish is missing is an effective fat burner as well as a proven appetite suppressor.

Side Effects of Vanquish

Users of Vanquish have complained of dizziness, nervousness, anxiety, and headaches.

Price of Vanquish

A bottle of Vanquish will set you back about $20 and will last you 20 days.

No Satisfaction or Money Back Guarantees

With Vanquish, there are no satisfaction or money back guarantees.

Vanquish Pros

  • Moderately Priced

Vanquish Cons

  • No fat burners
  • Hoodia is not backed by science
  • Possible side effects
  • Negative Customer Reviews

Vanquish Conclusion

There is not much positive to say about Vanquish, it doesn’t have the potency to help you lose substantial weight.

 

 

Ultraslim 90

Ultra Slim 90

What is Ultra Slim 90?

Manufactured by Gentle Solutions, Ultra Slim 90 claims to help you lose weight without any side effects. While that sounds really good, it seems to be a common theme with most weight loss supplement claims.

Ingredients in Ultra Slim 90

Looking at the ingredients in Ultra Slim 90, we weren’t able to tell if this pill was for overall wellness or weight loss. It is full of vitamins and minerals, which are great for overall health, but aren’t effective at helping weight loss.

Ultral Slim 90 is missing the two essentials for a weight loss supplement, a fat burner and an appetite suppressor.

Price of Ultra Slim 90

The cost of a bottle of Ultra Slim 90 is $40. This is very expensive for a product of its caliber.

No Satisfaction or Money Back Guarantees

With Ultra Slim, there are no satisfaction or money back guarantees. This shows lack of confidence in their product.

Side Effects of Ultra Slim 90

There are no known side effects for Ultra Slim.

Ultra Slim 90 Pros

  • No known side effects

Ultra Slim 90 Cons

  • Contains no fat burners
  • No satisfaction or money back guarantees
  • No appetite suppressors
  • Expensive

Ultra Slim 90 Conclusion

If you haven’t been able to notice by now, there just isn’t a whole lot to like about Ultra Slim 90. It doesn’t have the potency to help with weight loss. We don’t recommend Ultra Slim 90.

 

 

Trimlife

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Trimlife

What is Trimlife?

Trimlife is a company that among others produces Trimlife Advanced, Trimlife Carbcontrol, and Trimlife HCZ. They all claim big results but can they help you lose weight? Let’s take a closer look.

Ingredients in Trimlife

Most of the products in the Trimlife line are very similar and have small and subtle differences. The only Trimlife product we found with any ingredients that have been proven for weight loss was Trimlife Advanced, which contains green tea. Unfortunately, that was only ingredient we liked in Trimlife Advanced.

There isn’t anything new or revolutionary by any means in any of the Trimlife products just a bunch of the old. Something that we found to be missing in every Trimlife product was an effective fat burner.

Side Effects of Trimlife

Most of the Trimlife products are jam packed with stimulants. Users have complained of headache, anxiety, and insomnia among other side effects.

Price of Trimlife Products

The prices of the Trimlife products average around $30.

Ugly Autoship Program

Be careful not to fall into the Trimlife Autoship trap. They make it seem so inviting to get a “gold” or “silver membership” but just remember your credit card will be billed every month for a product you don’t want.

No Satisfaction or Money Back Guarantees

With Trimlife there are no money back or satisfaction guarantees. This shows a lack of confidence in their product.

Trimlife Pros

  • Moderately Priced
  • Trimlife Advanced contains green tea

Trimlife Cons

  • No effective fat burners
  • Possible side effects
  • No money back or satisfaction guarantees
  • Ugly Autoship program

Trimlife Conclusion

While we wouldn’t call the Trimlife products the worst out there, they are far from the best weight loss supplements you can find.
