VITALACAI

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

VITALACAI

The pitch with VitalAcai is that it is different from other Acai supplements because it has a blend of other herbal ingredients which are supposed to give it the edge that other supplements don’t have. VitalAcai works in the same way that all other Acai Berry supplements work, to detoxify the body and rid the body of excess weight that slows down weight-loss. Vital Acai contains amino acids, fiber, Omega-3’s and several other over the counter vitamins that could be purchased independently by the consumer.

VITALACAI PROS

- The ingredients are all natural

VITALACAI CONS

- The free-trial is a scam. This is an autoship company and if the product is not returned before the end of the trial period and the membership canceled the consumer will be charged.

- VitalAcai is expensive

- If you read the fine print under Terms and Conditions Vital Acai claims that most consumers don’t see results for up to three months, thus making the free-trial period a scam to get your money

Most products containing the Acai Berry are good for one thing, getting rid of excess waste. VitalAcai like all the other Acai Berry products offer no scientific research and all of them generally have terrible guarantees, VitalAcai is no exception to this.

ZYLOTRIM

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

ZYLOTRIM

Zylotrim is an all natural weight loss pill that is intended to increase the number of fat burning enzymes in your body. The website is consumer-friendly and has a list of the product ingredients for the consumer to research for themselves. Zylotrim seems to be fairly safe with no known side effects and is cost effective. The consumer can get a bottle of Zylotrim for $29.95 and with it get a free bottle. Each bottle comes with sixty tablets, with two bottles the consumer should be able to get a pretty good idea of whether or not the product will work for them within the time period of the guarantee.

ZYLOTRIM PROS

- Zylotrim offers a money-back guarantee

- The ingredients in Zylotrim have been awarded US patents

- The dosage instructions are fairly thorough

ZYLOTRIM CONS

- The guarantee is only 30 days, which only gives you a minimal amount of time to try the product before you have to return it if you want a refund

- Zylotrim is a free-trial product which means that it could be an auto-ship company and your credit card could be billed every month without you knowing it

- The ingredient list isn’t very thorough

The website for Zylotrim is informative and visual, which may offer a lot of comfort to consumers that are skeptical about dietary supplements. The informative video gives the consumer a pretty good idea of what the product is and how it is intended to work, as well as putting faces on weight-loss with the models used for the video. There is plenty of contact information for the consumer that has more questions. It might be helpful to ask questions about the product ingredients as well as whether or not Zylotrim is an autoship company.

DETOXYKALL

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

DETOXYKALL

Detoxykall is a weight loss supplement that is intended to suppress your appetite. The product website offers a full list of the ingredients under the frequently asked questions portion, other than that it doesn’t really give you any other information about what it is that you are buying. Their isn’t a visual of any type that shows you what the product looks like or an example of how you should administer the drops. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the website page explaining that the product results are atypical and may vary, which is true for most dietary supplements, but their isn’t any customer feedback available for the consumer for them to get a feel of what type of results they can expect to see.

DETOXYKALL PROS

- There is contact information for the consumer

- Detoxykall offers a product guarantee that includes a shipping refund

- There is a full list of the ingredients for the consumer to research

DETOXYKALL CONS

- The guarantee doesn’t tell you how long you have to try the product before it has to be returned if you are dissatisfied

- The website doesn’t offer any type of product label or visual, so the consumer doesn’t know what the product looks like

- The website doesn’t really tell you what the product or what the effects are of the product

The creators of Detoxykall don’t offer anything flashy to the consumer, which may be comforting to some, but it would make sense for the consumer to at least see what the product looks like. The website offers very little information and if the consumer wants to know the effects of the ingredients in Detoxykall they’ll have to do their homework. The website has a substantial amount of contact information which is good and it might be helpful for consumers to contact the company prior to purchase to make sure that they’re not getting scammed.

DUAL ACTION DIET CLEANSE

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

DUAL ACTION DIET CLEANSE

Dual Action Diet Cleanse consists of a pair of products that are meant to boost weight loss goals already in effect. The website tells most consumers what they already know, a good diet and exercise along with a dietary supplement that will boost metabolism will help you to shed extra pounds. Their answer to the boost is two products, 7 Day Purifying Flush, which consists of a bottle of 28 pills and Metabolic Fat Burning, which consists of a bottle of 56 pills. The 7 Day Purifying Flush is exactly what it sounds like, a detoxifying agent to rid the body of excess waste holding it back from getting rid of weight. Metabolic Fat Burning is intended to give your diet and exercise regimen the edge you need to see results.

DUAL ACTION DIET CLEANSE PROS

- They offer a tape measure as a way for the consumer to keep track of inches lost

- Step by step instructions

- Expected results within 28 days

DUAL ACTION DIET CLEANSE CONS

- There isn’t an ingredient list and really very little product information available to the consumer

- No contact information or provisional disclaimers that explain the guarantee

- The guarantee is only 30 days and the program is 28 days, could be a scam to get more of your money

Dual Action Diet Cleanse doesn’t make any outrageous claims about what the products will do for you, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. Overall, the product creators aren’t telling the consumer anything that they don’t already know. If you use this product along with a healthy diet and exercise program, you will see results. The question is, are the results from the healthy diet and exercise or from the diet supplements?

COCO TRIM

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Coco Trim is a dietary supplement intended to aid in the process of suppressing hunger. The creator of Coco Trim has capitalized on this ingredient and developed a formula that is supposed to control your appetite. The creator claims that Coco Trim has a blend of ingredients unlike any other and that it the product ingredients are pharmaceutical grade.

COCO TRIM PROS

- Coco Trim offers a pretty thorough list of ingredients

- There is clinical research to support the claims made by the creator

- Free Shipping

COCO TRIM CONS

- Coco Trim is on a Free Trial basis which means that it could easily be an auto-ship company

- The website doesn’t really offer any customer reviews of the product

The biggest drawback to Coco Trim is that the Free Trial offer. The “bill you later” concept may be a ploy to get your credit card information. Contact their customer service to find out whether or not you are going to be billed on a monthly basis to save yourself the surprise later.

Slimburst

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Slimburst is a product that is intended for increasing your metabolism in the fat burning process. It is supposed to increase calorie burning through thermogenics or “core cooling.” The majority of all weight loss products on the market have an element of thermogenics in their chemical formula. Slimburst is intended to cool down your body so that your energy level lasts much longer than it normally would during a workout. The more thermogenesis the more weight loss.

SLIMBURST PROS

- Slimburst is cost effective

- Shipping is Free

- Industry professionals support use of the product

SLIMBURST CONS

- Their doesn’t appear to be any real clinical research to support the claims made by the creator

- It’s on a Free Trial program which probably means Slimburst is an auto-ship company

- Thermogenics is not a revolutionary concept, it’s used in the majority of all diet pills

SLIMBURST CONCLUSION

Slimburst is an affordable diet pill with pretty run of the mill dietary ingredients. Their isn’t anything revolutionary about this product, but if you are looking to try a product that is cheap just to see if the claims support the effects, this may be the product to try. It might be beneficial to any user of Slimburst to get a good sense of what is in the product. Find an ingredient list or contact their customer service prior to using the product. It may also be beneficial to find out if Slimburst is an auto-ship company so that you don’t get your credit card tangled up in a bunch of extra charges.

CST Boost

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

CST Boost is a dietary supplement intended to be used along with CoCo Trim and Slimburst as an edge to the effects of the other supplements. The claim of CST Boost is that if you use the combination of products synergistically, you’ll see faster results.

Thermogenesis, muscle buildup, and mood relaxation are the goal of this product. CST Boost is not as costly as other supplements on the market, which makes it competitive, but doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s effective.

CST BOOST PROS

- CST Boost is affordable

- CST Boost is recommended by industry professionals

- CST Boost offers free shipping

CST BOOST CONS

- CST Boost is offers a free trial which may mean that it is an auto-ship company and a scam

- There is very little product information for the consumer

- The ingredients aren’t listed

- There is very little customer feedback

CST BOOST CONCLUSION

The challenge of buying a product like CST Boost is that the seller’s make the consumer believe that it is only effective if used with the other dietary supplements. Although it is listed at an affordable price, if you purchase the other products, you’re looking at a price that’s well over what you would spend if you found one supplement that was listed at a competitive rate and did what all three supplements claim to do synergistically. Plus, a lot of consumers don’t want to take twelve pills a day.

Metabolysin

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Metabolysin claims to be different than all of the other weight-loss supplements on the market because of its proprietary blend of Green/ White Tea Extract, which is full of antioxidants and lower levels of high grade caffeine. Capsaicin, which is commonly found in hot peppers and will increase the number of calories burned by the body. Finally, caffeine which will ultimately raise your energy level and increase your metabolism. Despite what the makers say about caffeine, their product still contains plenty of it.

The makers use clinical studies to try and back up their claims, but the credibility of these studies is unknown.

Metabolysin Pros

- The consumer can purchase Metabolysin by the bottle

- The website is interactive and has plenty of information to the make the consumer feel good about purchasing the product

- There is a 30 day money-back guarantee if the consumer is unsatisfied with the product

Metabolysin Cons

- No matter how Metabolysin tries to market their supplement, it is virtually a caffeine pill. There is 150mg of caffeine compared to 255mg of all other ingredients in Metabolysin, caffeine makes up a 1/3 of the products ingredients

- The money-back guarantee is good, but it only gives the consumer about two weeks to try the product before having to send it back for a refund, which isn’t enough time to fully try the product

Metabolysin Conclusion

Metabolysin is a competitive industry supplement. The use of over-hyped advertising will pull in a lot of consumers, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the product is guaranteed to work.

IdealCleanse Diet

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

IdealCleanse is a detoxifying agent meant to rid your body of toxins that are keeping you from losing weight. IdealCleanse is basically a fiber product that the creators say will get rid of the waste in your body and in turn will reduce the desire of the consumer to want to eat more. IdealCleanse is a dissolvent and can be put in any type of food or beverage.

The creators of IdealCleanse not only claim that it will rid your body of waste, but that the consumer will also see an increase in energy and overall health. In truth, losing weight by any means will increase overall health for anyone, not just those that take IdealCleanse.

IdealCleanse Diet Pros

- IdealCleanse is designed to work at a slower pace so that you aren’t confined to the bathroom

- The creators have also designed an accompanying diet plan for the consumer to use if they would like to

- You can buy each of the products individually if you aren’t interested in buying an entire set

IdealCleanse Diet Cons

- There is no money-back guarantee on IdealCleanse

- IdealCleanse is virtually a diuretic and will work in the same way that most fiber pills work

- There isn’t any consumer feedback or clinical studies posted for the current consumer to read, which might make the consumer feel a little uneasy about purchasing the product

IdealCleanse Diet Conclusion

The purpose of IdealCleanse is much like any other type of fiber based weight-loss supplement out there, it will cause you to lose a minimal amount of weight, short-term. The effects are not as long-lasting as other dietary supplements out there. Aside from that, if you are looking to lose weight fast, IdealCleanse could be the perfect weight-loss agent. There isn’t a product guarantee given by the makers, which should make the consumer weary.

NATROL CARB INTERCEPT

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Natrol is an herbal/nutraceutical company that is based in California and sells several different weight-loss supplements, Carb Intercept being one of them. The goal of Carb Intercept is to help the consumer lose weight without them having to give up the foods that they love.

Carb Intercept is intended to convert carbohydrates into energy before they store in the body as fat. The main ingredient in Carb Intercept is Phase 2 Starch Neutralizer, which obviously works to convert carbohydrates/starches into energy.

- Under the link in the sidebar, Natrol Quality Uncompromised, there is a list of standards that Natrol is governed by, which might make the consumer feel more comfortable purchasing the product

Carb Intercept Cons

- There is no money-back guarantee if you are unhappy with the product

- The product is cheap, which could mean that the ingredients in Natrol’s products are not very high quality, cheap product could equal cheap results

- The recommended dosage is six capsules per day, so you can go through a bottle in a week, depending on which bottle that you purchase.

Carb Intercept Conclusion

Natrol seems like a fairly legitimate company that sells a legitimate product. For the consumer that doesn’t want to spend a ton of money losing weight, this may be the product for you. Generally speaking, it is smartest to spend a little extra money and get a product that has competitive industry ingredients that can assuredly work, than to spend less money on a product that might work. There is plenty of contact information for the consumer and a history of the company available to be read. It might help to research the company by calling them to get a feel of how helpful they may or may not be once you purchase the product.
