GNC Cleanse is a complete 7-day detox kit. Detoxification is an interesting concept in the field of medicine as well as nutrition. Is it true that our bodies have certain toxins (i.e. harsh chemicals and metals) that are difficult to get rid of? Yes. Is there an easy solution to this problem? No. Different toxins require different methods of excretion. For instance, mercury used to be a common treatment for many ailments in the body. This was before scientists and doctors realized that mercury could not be expelled from the body and was very harmful to the nervous system. In fact, the phrase “mad as a hatter” comes from the fact that those who worked in hat factories or shops were exposed to mercury and subsequently developed serious mental disorder and other diseases affecting the nervous system. Many of these workers died from too much exposure to mercury. Even today, we still do not have a method to extract mercury from the body. So to claim that you can rid your body of all toxins in 7 days is ludicrous. But, you may be able to excrete some.

GNC Cleanse Ingredients:

There are too many ingredients in GNC Cleanse to cover here. Generally speaking, these ingredients act as diuretics, assist in digestion, and purify the kidneys. These ingredients include various root extracts, herbs, flowers, fruit, minerals, and vitamins. Most of these have not been clinically proven to detoxify the body (that is a very hard thing to prove in the first place). The majority of detox products use diuretics to completely clean out your colon and hopefully kidneys. That means you will be using the bathroom often and drinking lots and lots of water. It is through this process that you will probably lose a few pounds (mostly water weight) which is one reason why a lot of people like products such as GNC Cleanse. Who doesn’t want to get rid of toxins and lose weight in the process?

GNC Cleanse Price and Return Policy:

The 7-day program costs $34.99. To the best of our knowledge there is no money back guarantee. That’s not surprising given the fact that detox programs are far from a sure thing. If GNC Cleanse is damaged or incomplete you can get a refund, but if it doesn’t work we doubt you will get your money back.

GNC Cleanse Overall Value:

On the website for GNC Cleanse they have a Q and A section. It was funny to see how many people are trying to get rid of the THC (marijuana) in their system before a drug test. As far as we know GNC Cleanse does not help expel drugs in your blood. It is geared more towards clearing out your digestive tract. If you are looking for a product to help you lose weight, then you should try some of our top rated, clinically proven supplements. GNC Cleanse may provide a short-term solution to weight loss, but it won’t help you burn fat.

Lean X (Lean-EFX) is produced by Fahrenheit Nutrition. It is designed to be both an energy and mood enhancer. Lean X “is formulated to help reduce body fat and sculpt your body, producing a lean athletic build. Increased energy, an elevated mood, and LEAN-EFX’s product science will put you on the path to a happy, healthier life.” The funny part about this statement to me is that it is on their website underneath a picture of some model in a bikini. Now, that’s not funny in and of itself because most diet pills use attractive and fit models to sell their products. However, this model in particular is making one of the saddest faces I have ever seen. If they were going for the dark/mysterious/brooding/sexy look then I think they made a mistake because she looks like she belongs in a commercial for antidepressants. And that’s why it’s funny! Lean X is supposed to be a mood enhancer and the model looks depressed and sad….At least I thought it was funny.

Lean X Ingredients:

The ingredients in Lean X are grouped together in three different proprietary blends.

The first blend is the Next Gen blend which contains: trimethylxanthine, cassia nomame, taraxacum, and green tea extract. Trimethylxanthine is a stimulant similar to caffeine and along with green tea extract it should increase metabolism and boost energy. But, the blend is only 375 mg per serving so you need more than one serving per day to get the clinically recommended amount of both those ingredients. The Lean X website does not say specifically how many servings you should have per day. Both taraxacum and cassia nomame act as diuretics.

The second blend is the Thermo blend which contains: thiamine disulfide, dimethylamylamine, bitter orange, and phyllanthus emblica. These ingredients are supposed to increase your fat burning ability, but the only one that is clinically proven to do so is bitter orange (synephrine) which is effective, but can cause serious side effects in certain cases.

The final blend is the Neuro Therapy blend which contains: hydroxytryptophan, ginseng, and N-acetyl tyrosine. These ingredients are meant to have a calming, relaxing, and mood elevating effect on the body. They also may help counteract some of the negative side effects associate with stimulants like caffeine.

Lean X Cost:

One bottle of Lean X costs $49.99 and contains 45 capsules. It is unclear how many you are supposed to take per day, but it’s probably 1-2; so one bottle will last about 25-45 days. They offer free shipping in the US and if you buy more than one bottle you get better value. They do not mention anything about a return policy or a money back guarantee on the website. So we have to assume no guarantee is offered. You should contact them directly if you want to learn more about their return policy.

Does Lean X Work?

Lean X has some great ingredients that should increase metabolism, help you burn some fat, and elevate your mood. Our biggest doubts are with the quantity of ingredients in each blend. Often times diet companies will use great ingredients, but only in small amounts because it’s cheaper to make pills with lots of “filler” ingredients. We hope that’s not the case with Lean X. Without a guarantee we have to recommend that you try other more proven products first, but Lean X seems like it could be an effective weight loss supplement.

It is possible that Megathin will help you to lose a significant amount of weight. However, there are several other diet products that have these same ingredients and make the same claims. Megathin falls into a rather large category of weight loss supplements. This category is full of products that are overpriced, lack clinical evidence, contain some quality ingredients, and usually only provide a short-term fix to the weight loss problem. For some people these products actually work and they are completely satisfied with their results. For most people, however, these kinds of products either don’t work at all or only work for a short period until your body adjusts and you stop losing weight.

Megathin Customer Reviews:

“When I first found your website I was highly doubtful that something all natural could really work as well as the claims. Well, let me be the first to tell all the doubters that Megathin does work and my new size 8 bikini is proof!” – Amy

“I needed to have surgery but my doctor told me that unless I lost weight they wouldn’t be able to safely put me under. Thanks to Megathin I lost the weight and my surgery went ahead without any problems.” – Justin

“Megathin didn’t work for me. I tried it for a couple of months along with a new exercise routine and I barely lost any weight. It made me really gassy and kind of moody. It did give me some energy but I still had a hard time beating cravings and staying away from the chocolate. I got some of my money back, but they really overcharged me for shipping so I still took a hit in the wallet.” – Marcus

Megathin Price and Return Policy:

One bottle of Megathin costs about $50 and should last you about a month. They do offer a solid money back guarantee if you’re dissatisfied. They give you 90 days to decide whether or not Megathin is right for you. If you don’t like it you can send it back for a full refund minus shipping and handling. So although their ingredients may not be spectacular they do support their product by offering to give you your money back.

Overall Value:

Megathin has some quality ingredients that can help you lose weight, but it also has a lot of unproven ingredients that act as fillers. There are other weight loss supplements on the market with better ingredients that cost about the same and also come with a guarantee. However, Megathin is a much better option than a lot of other diet pills out there. So if you’re looking for a natural and relatively side effect free solution to weight loss, then Megathin could be the product for you.

Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming is supposed to aid in digestion, detoxification, and ultimately weight loss. It contains all natural (herbal) ingredients, which is a plus for those who want to avoid harsh stimulants. The problem with many herbal ingredients is that they have not been clinically tested or proven effective. That’s not to say that these herbal ingredients have no health benefits, it’s just that they are not proven weight loss aides.

Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Customer Reviews:

“I saw an advertisement for Chinese Diet tea…I purchased the Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming. I’ve been drinking the tea while exercising and eating a balanced diet. Over the course of a little over 2 weeks, I went down one size in jeans and lost 7 pounds…I’m starting to see a difference in my body…Thank you.” – S.H.

“Well I used this for the first time last night after dinner around 7pm. I was fine, lying in bed watching TV for the next 2 – 3 hours, then the cramping started. I got progressively worsening cramps from the upper part of my abdomen all the way down to the bottom of my belly, it was very painful. I started feeling very bloated like I needed to belch or… well… yea. I noticed that the cramping was at its worst when I was lying down, standing up I felt better. I got nauseous and thought I would throw up. Then I had to run to the bathroom because the extreme laxative effect was kickin’ in. this lasted until about 2:30am and I need to get up for work in the morning. I was really miserable.” – Angela

Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Ingredients:

The main ingredients in Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming include: senna, whorled mallow, Chinese licorice, Chinese persimmon, and papaya. Exact amounts of these ingredients are unknown because they are part of a 2000mg proprietary blend. The website for Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming explains: “This potent blend was used traditionally in China to help promote cleansing, detoxification, and digestion. Senna and malva verticillata are herbal stimulant laxatives that were used to promote bowel movements and cleansing. Licorice root is known as the ‘Great Detoxifier’ in Chinese herbology. It was used to tonify the stomach and spleen, and to augment and harmonize the action of the other herbs. Persimmon and papaya were used to support healthy stomach function and digestion.” For the most part, this explanation is accurate.

Is Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming Worth Trying?

One box (20 tea bags) costs $5.89 and will last you about 20 days, assuming you drink the tea every day. It doesn’t come with a money back guarantee…probably because it is so cheap. The nice thing about most herbal supplements is that they are often inexpensive and relatively safe. You may experience some gastrointestinal side effects (i.e. diarrhea, upset stomach, cramps, etc.). Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming is an attractive option to those looking to lose weight because of its cost. If you’re looking for a natural solution to weight loss, it may be worth trying. But, if you want something clinically proven to work then Triple Leaf Tea Super Slimming is not for you.

Drenbuterol is supposed to be the safer, yet still effective version of clenbuterol. Clenbuterol is a decongestant and bronchodilator and is thus used to treat asthma and other chronic breathing disorders. It is a stimulant with thermogenic properties which is why it became popular in the weight loss world. Clenbuterol has been banned by several sports (cycling, baseball, etc.) as a performance enhancing drug. So obviously Clenbuterol (and we assume Drenbuterol as well) has some positive health benefits as far as energy and athletic performance are concerned. But, neither drug is clinically proven to help you lose weight, not yet at least.

Drenbuterol Customer Reviews:

“I have taken two boxes of Dren, taking it every few days or every other day, and sometimes I even skip it for a week. I have gone from a size Large to a size Small in juniors, and XSmall in ladies. Dren gives me energy, puts me in a better mood, and keeps me from getting hungry. I hardly eat on the days when I do take it. It makes me feel dehydrated if I do not drink enough water or liquids, but if I do then I feel great all day. I don’t ever get that “crash” that people claim they get from the caffeine. In my opinion, Dren works great. It is the only diet pill I have ever taken, and though I have nothing to compare it to, I have no reason to find another diet pill anyway because Dren works for me.” – Mallory

“I took a pill right after breakfast and felt sick until night time about two weeks ago. I decided to try it again and take it at night, I understand it has caffeine, but I woke up a few times sick to my stomach. The entire next day I felt like I had motion sickness. I will throw these pills out asap. I was SO sick.” – Dominique

“I’ve been taking Drenbuterol for two weeks now and I actually gained 4 lbs. I bought it from a local GNC for $39.00. It worked the first day. I was a little hyper, but almost no nausea and a definite curb in appetite and lots of fuel for my workout. After about 4 days, the effect wore off. The pill doesn’t give me the same energy boost and I am ravenous by the end of the day. Plus, I started getting severe headaches when I didn’t take it and started feeling depressed.” – Carmen

Drenbuterol Cost:

You can buy a month’s supply of Drenbuterol for about $20 online or in health/supplement stores. That’s pretty cheap compared to most diet pills.  Drenbuterol might be worth trying if other pills have failed you because it’s relatively inexpensive, but if you notice any bad side effects I would stop using it right away.

Drenbuterol Side Effects:

Drenbuterol side effects will be similar to those of other stimulants: insomnia, headaches, rapid heart rate, dizziness, jitteriness, and anxiety. Drenbuterol is supposed to be safer than Clenbuterol, but many consumer reports seem to suggest otherwise.

Endoburn has several quality ingredients. Most of them are designed to give you energy and some of them may help you burn fat. If you can tolerate stimulants then Endoburn will probably be worth a shot. However, Endoburn won’t do much to suppress your appetite; but if metabolism is what you struggle with then it’s right up your alley.

Endoburn Ingredients:

1 capsule of Endoburn contains 12 mg thiamin, 4 mcg chromium, and a 500 mg blend of several ingredients. BSN recommends that you gradually work your way up to taking 6 capsules per day (assuming your body can handle it). So we will work under the assumption that you are getting 3000 mg of the ingredients in the blend each day. Some of these key ingredients include: caffeine anhydrous, geranium oil, green coffee extract, cocoa extract, synephrine, grapefruit extract, red pepper, and more.

Synephrine (bitter orange) is supposed to be the safe alternative to ephedrine, but studies have shown that you may experience similar side effects (i.e. heart complications). Synephrine is an effective metabolism booster and should help your body oxidize fats.

Caffeine and green coffee extract are clinically proven to increase energy and metabolism when taken at about 400 mg per day. So you will probably get enough of these ingredients if you’re taking 6 capsules of Endoburn per day.

Geranium oil is supposed to amplify the thermogenic effects of caffeine, but this has not been clinically proven yet.

Grapefruit rind has the ability to lower blood lipid levels. That doesn’t necessarily translate into weight loss, but it’s healthy for you.

Cocoa extract is clinically proven to improve focus and concentration; its weight loss properties are debatable.

Endoburn Customer Reviews:

“This stuff did the trick. I took it for a month and a half and lost 17 pounds. I took one pill in the morning before breakfast, as recommended, and one pill before lunch. I started to move up to four pills, and I didn’t like the feeling, so I stuck to two pills a day. Great product, love the results, would so recommend this product to anybody trying to shed some weight.” – Alec

“I didn’t notice any weight loss with 2 pills a day so I went to 4 and my heart started freakin’ out and I got super dizzy. It scared me to death! My brother can handle the stuff, but apparently I can’t. The crappiest part is you can’t get your money back, so I just gave the rest to my brother.” –Taylor

Endoburn Cost:

Endoburn is $59.99 per bottle and should last about a month. All sales are final and you can only return Endoburn if it is unopened. Without a money-back guarantee it is really difficult to say that Endoburn is worth trying. You can find plenty of diet products with caffeine, green tea, synephrine, and more that all come with a guarantee.

1. Contains green tea extract

2. Not too expensive

3. Easy to use

Vita Slim Cons:

1. Website contains very little information

2. No official guarantee or information regarding refund

3. No clinically proven fat burners or appetite suppressants

4. Patches are an unproven method as far as weight loss is concerned

Vita Slim Weight Loss Power:

Vita Slim claims to help people lose weight without diet or exercise. So you can just sit on your couch and eat potato chips and ice cream all day. Ok, maybe not. They probably didn’t quite mean it like that, but still it’s a pretty spectacular claim to make. Any reasonable and credible weight loss supplement company understands that long-term results are only achieved in conjunction with diet and exercise. No diet pill has ever provided long-term results all by itself. Vita Slim is actually a patch you stick to your skin as opposed to a pill you take orally. Some companies like to claim that the patch allows the ingredients to be absorbed directly into the blood stream (which may or may not be true depending on the specific patch). But, either way there is no clinical evidence proving that a patch is superior to pills as far as dieting is concerned.

Vita Slim Ingredients:

The Vita Slim ingredients are green tea extract, kelp, vitamin B 6, and some obscure herbal ingredients and spices. A complete list of ingredients is not available so we don’t quite know the specifics on some of the herbal ones. Of these ingredients the only one that is clinically tested to help you lose weight is green tea. The others may be healthy and “promote” weight loss, but promoting weight loss and causing weight loss are two very different things.

Overall Value:

Vita Slim is a financial risk. It does not appear to be available for sale in the US so you may have to purchase it through a European online vendor. We don’t think there will be too many bad side effects, we just don’t know if it will really work. So whether or not you try Vita Slim will probably be based on how much you have to pay for it. We recommend that you try other diet products first before taking a chance on Vita Slim.

Trimform has the power to help you lose weight. It will boost your metabolism and give you energy and it may even help you burn fat and tone those problem areas. Trimform is definitely better than your average diet pill, but at the same time it’s not among the elite of weight loss supplements. It doesn’t really address the issue of appetite suppressant (contrary to what some would claim) and that’s what keeps it from being great.

Trimform Ingredients:

The ingredients in Trimform are combined into a 998 mg proprietary blend. Trimform contains the following ingredients: caffeine anhydrous, green tea extract, Cissus Quadrangularis, Xanthinol Nicotinate, Inositol Hexaphosphate, Acetyl-I-Cysteine Amide, Inula Racemosa Extract, Vinpocetine, Evodia Rutaecarpa Extract, Cnidium Monnier Extract, Black Pepper Extract, White Willow Extract, Polyrhachis Vicina Roger Extract, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract and Corkscrew Willow Extract.

Some of these are more effective than others. Green tea and caffeine are metabolism boosters and it is likely that you will get enough of these ingredients from Trimform to see a boost in your metabolism. Cissus Quadrangularis is clinically proven to reduce weight when taken at 300 mg per day. It is unclear, however, whether or not this dosage is met by Trimform. The majority of the other ingredients are included for their ability to increase blood flow or for their beneficial effects on digestion. None of them deals directly with weight loss, however.

Trimform Side Effects:

The side effects of Trimform include: jitteriness, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and elevated heart rate. You may also experience some gastrointestinal problems.

Trimform Customer Reviews:

“I love Trimform. It is the only pill out there I lost weight on and kept it off. I cannot buy it anywhere. I am so disappointed that I cannot find this item.” – Tammy

“I am one of the transformations and I lost 32 pounds in just 20 weeks which is 5months. Of course with a lot of exercises, eating small healthy portions and drinking lots of water it will happen. It’s just a matter of wanting to lose it. IT REALLY WORKS GUYS.” – Jess

“I have used the minimum dosage of 1 pill a day and it made me very sick. I had a lot of abdominal discomfort with unexpected loose bowel movements. My face gets very flushed each time I take it and nausea keeps me from eating something I should not (which is a good thing but not to the degree that I am incapable of living my life!) I don’t mind an appetite suppressant but nausea and diarrhea are not my cup of tea. The product does increase your energy level at first but once the abdominal discomfort sets in, it renders you useless. It also makes your heart race like a scared bunny rabbit when you are at rest.” – Mary Anne

Overall Value:

Trimform costs about $50 per bottle and one bottle lasts about a month. It doesn’t come with a guarantee, which makes me hesitant to recommend it. However, if you can handle the stimulants it is probably worth trying.

Phendimetrazine is a prescription drug that is an effective short-term weight loss supplement. Phendimetrazine acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (NDRA) meaning it acts on neurotransmitters. Phendimetrazine stimulates the central nervous system to increase heart rate and blood pressure and decrease appetite. Phendimetrazine is meant to be a weight loss solution for those who struggle with obesity; it is not meant for slightly overweight people looking to lose a few pounds. You cannot buy Phendimetrazine on line anymore because of safety concerns, so you have to get it from your doctor.

Phendimetrazine Side Effects:

The side effects of Phendimetrazine can be categorized based on the specific body system.

Central nervous system: Restlessness, insomnia, agitation, flushing, tremors, sweating, dizziness, headache, psychotic state, blurred vision.

Cardiovascular system: Palpitations, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure.

Digestive system: dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach cramps.

Urinary/Reproductive: dysuria, urinary frequency, and changes in libido.

One of the more serious side effects of Phendimetrazine is pulmonary hypertension. “In a case-control epidemiological study, the use of anorectic agents, including Phendimetrazine tartrate, was associated with an increased risk of developing pulmonary hypertension, a rare, but often fatal disorder. The use of anorectic agents [i.e. Phendimetrazine] for longer than three months was associated with a 23-fold increase in the risk of developing pulmonary hypertension. Increased risk of pulmonary hypertension with repeated course of therapy cannot be excluded.”

There are other serious side effects, but I think you get the point. If you use Phendimetrazine to lose weight, it is probably a good idea to use it for a short period and not repeat treatments.

Phendimetrazine Cost:

Because Phendimetrazine is a prescription drug its cost will depend on what kind of insurance you have and how much of the cost is actually covered. Also, you don’t get money-back guarantees or refunds with prescription pills. The only reason to consider using Phendimetrazine is if you are extremely overweight and your doctor permits it.

Is Phendimetrazine Worth Trying?

Phendimetrazine is a psychotropic drug that is under strict control in the United States and elsewhere. It is just as potent as an amphetamine and can become addictive too. If you struggle with obesity it is a viable option, but you need to be very careful with dosage and length of usage.

Bio Life Plus is the newest and most powerful product Bio Life has produced. On their website they claim that, “This is our star product. In a nutshell, it’s a POWERHOUSE in a bottle. It’s a plant based supplement, with 73 different plant-derived minerals, including all the B-complexes, along with garlic, enzymes and anti-oxidants that are specially blended to produce a product that energizes the body and erases the nostalgia of what it really feels like to be youthful again.” As you can see, they do not mention any weight loss power or fat burning properties in their description of Bio Life Plus. Let’s examine the ingredients to see if Bio Life Plus is worth its weight in gold.

Bio Life Plus Ingredients:

The ingredients in Bio Life Plus include: Enzymatically Active Alfalfa Juice, Pure Telluride Water, Plant Based Certified USDA Organic Calcium, Thiamine Riboflavin, Panthothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Garlic, Biotin, Natural Flavor, Proprietary Blend and Glycerine.

None of these ingredients have any weight loss power. They are rich in protein, calcium, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Some of these ingredients may reduce arthritis pain and morning stiffness or promote electrolyte balance and cardiovascular health. Garlic has antimicrobial properties and has been used by many herbalists to lower cholesterol levels. However, studies have shown that garlic does not have a significant impact on the cholesterol levels of those people who suffer from high cholesterol. Garlic is still a valuable ingredient as far as overall health is concerned. In summary, these ingredients will make you more healthy, but is Bio Life Plus worth the cost?

Bio Life Cost:

One bottle of Bio Life Plus costs $99.99 and will probably last about a month. It comes in powder form and you take one tablespoon with a glass of water each day. They do offer a 30-day refund, but you have to return the products in their original, unopened state. So it is far from being a free-trial offer. In our opinion, you can get the same quality ingredients from a few dietary supplements at any grocery store for much less.

Bio Life Customer Reviews:

“I’m on my second month of the Life Plus- Yes, I re-ordered. Although it’s only been a month and a half, I’ve been seeing remarkable improvement in my health. I lost weight, my cholesterol and pressure decreased. I feel much better and happier about life.” – Anonymous

“Some friends of ours are distributors of Bio Life Plus and they convinced us to try it. My wife and I made it our New Year’s Resolution to lose weight and we figured we might as well try this stuff since our friends seem to love it. Unfortunately it didn’t help us lose much weight. We did feel more energized and healthy but we were really looking for something to help us lose weight. We stopped using it after a couple months and we’re looking for something else.” – Dan
