FUCOTHIN

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Garden of Life has created FUCOTHIN and antioxidant rich weight-loss supplement that is a derivative of the fucoxanthin or seaweed. According to the story on Fucothin, a Russian doctor found a way to extract enough fucoxanthin to produce a weight-loss supplement that produces results.

According to the website, clinical studies were conducted with subjects that took the supplement and those that took a placebo and those that took Fucothin saw greater weight-loss results. Fucoxanthin, the main ingredient in Fucothin, is intended to have thermogenics results without the jittery feelings accompanied by most dietary supplements.

FUCOTHIN PROS

- There is a thorough list of the ingredients and plenty of research available to the consumer to read and research

- Fucothin is supposed to give you the raise in metabolism without all of the nasty side effects

FUCOTHIN CONS

- The credentials of the creators are nowhere to be found

- The $5 off coupon is a scam to get the consumer to sign up for endless emails

- Their isn’t a money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the product

FUCOTHIN CONCLUSION

Fucothin is one of many products that are made with the ingredient fucoxanthin. The unique thing about this Garden of Life product is that you can buy it from a local retailer. You can enter in your zip code and it will give you a number of places that you can purchase it from.

Some consumers may feel more comfortable buying it from a store without the fear of getting their credit card tied up in an autoship company. The issue with Fucothin is that there is no money back guarantee if the product ends up not working for the consumer.

ELANCE

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

The Elance Weight Management System is based upon the consumers allegiance to three products produced by Body Wise, Elance Frappe (meal replacer), Elance Appetit (appetite suppressant), and Petit Chocolate (sustains energy).

The ingredients in Elance Frappe are supposed to help the consumer feel full, thus replacing the desire to eat a full meal. Elance Appetit is designed to help stop the absorption of all the extra calories in food. Finally, Petit Chocolate is designed to help the consumer maintain a fat-burning level of energy.

The website gives a rundown of all the products and their ingredients including how the product is designed to work for the consumer. The pitch is to stop dieting and use Body Wise products as a replacement for all other foods.

ELANCE PROS

- The website is very involved and offers plenty of information about each of the Body Wise products

- Consumers like the idea of having someone design their weight-loss program for them

- The weight-management guide gives a list of all types of foods that are good to eat and they’re accompanied by the number of calories in each

ELANCE CONS

- Elance is no different than any other weight-management program already available to consumers. It offers you a guide to which foods are good to eat and which are not, encouraging the use of their products as the answer to weight-loss.

- Most consumers have already had it pounded into their heads that diet and exercise is the answer and Elance is no exception, they are basically telling consumers the exact same thing.

- It doesn’t offer the consumer anything other than a 7 day sample trial, which probably means that Elance is auto ship company

ELANCE CONCLUSION

Consumers already know that diet and exercise is the answer. For the consumer that is seeing results from diet and exercise, implementing Body Wise products/weight management ideas might increase your results, but for those that are just getting started Elance may not be the kick start that you’re looking for. The website is interactive, but offers very little information about product guarantee and results.

PHOSPHACORE

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Phosphacore is a dietary supplement made with phosphatidylserine, which is an ingredient that is intended to control the amount of Cortisol released by your body. Cortisol is what contributes to how much fat your body holds onto.

Phosphacore also contains cis-9 trans-11 which is supposed to work on stubborn belly fat by breaking it down and getting rid of it. The final ingredient in Phosphacore is Ascorbic Acid, which is supposed to increase fat-burning potential by a 100 calories a day. Cis-9 Trans-11 is an ingredient that can be purchased independently and is currently being sold on the market as a dietary supplement.

The ingredients in Phosphacore claim to be scientifically researched and the website offers a substantial amount of information to the consumer about each ingredient.

PHOSPHACORE PROS

  • Customers seem to be satisfied with the results
  • Celebrity support, Hollywood seems to love it
  • Phosphacore is not an autoship company

PHOSPHACORE CONS

  • Affordable
  • 7 pounds and 2 inches every week is not healthy weight-loss
  • There is no credible information about the developers

The great thing about Phosphacore is that it is not offered on a free-trial basis. The consumer can feel good about purchasing the supplement without the headache of having to make sure that they cancel any future orders. The guarantee is only thirty days, which isn’t a very substantial amount of time for any consumer to see real results.
