8 Zone – Red Zone Review

Most of you have probably watched a bit of the Olympics and are aware of Apollo Ohno, the United States of America’s star speed skater.  I am really skeptical of supplements that have a famous advocate.  The reason for my skepticism is obvious – the celebrity is attempting to make additional money in a booming industry.  When looking at the different products endorsed by celebrities, you must look at the ingredients so as to determine the product’s effectiveness.

I want to give a disclaimer for my above statement.  I want to make it clear that I am not condemning all celebrity-endorsed products.  That is part of the beauty of this world – people can sell things.  Ok, now to the nitty gritty – does this product actually work?  Judging by the contents, most of the ingredients are the body’s essential vitamins and minerals.  Red Zone is supposed to be dedicated to weight loss and energy.  The only proven weight loss ingredients in this supplement are Green Tea leaf extract, and Bitter Orange Extract.  Both have been shown to assist in weight loss, but due to the fact that these ingredients are contained in a proprietary blend we are unable to determine how much of each effective ingredient is truly in this product.

From the website, it is unclear whether or not there is a return policy.

8 Zone Red Zone – Side Effects

Green Tea commonly has side effects of nausea, insomnia, irritability, frequent urination.  There are some less-common, but serious side effects including increased blood pressure, anxiety, seizures, and irregular and increased heart beat.

Bitter Orange Extract may have many of the same effects as stated above.  Be sure to consult a physician before taking this supplement, particularly if you have heart problems.

With this supplement, be sure to consult a physician.  If you have health risks, it should be a rule that you should always consult a physician before starting any diet.

Does 8 Zone – Red Zone work well enough to buy?

There are certainly some great ingredients in this product.  However, because the amount of effective ingredients is contained in a proprietary blend, we are unable to determine truly how effective this really is.  This really seems more like a health supplement than a weight loss pill.  When looking for energy and weight loss supplements, there are plenty out there that have money-back guarantees, and proven ingredients – in the proven amounts.  Don’t be fooled by the celebrity endorsements.

What is Xenadrine ULTRA?

Xenadrine ULTRA is another one of those  weight loss supplements that uses stimulants to achieve results.  Xenadrine ULTRA does have a proprietary blend of ingredients that has been proven to aid in your weight loss goals.  There is something to be said about using proven ingredients, although there is the potential for health risk.  Xenadrine ULTRA is also about as cheap as you can get in the supplement world.

What is in Xenadrine ULTRA?

Xenadrine ULTRA has a variety of vitamins help promote weight loss and active lifestyle.  This is in addition to the primary ingredient blend that really is the work horse.

• Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is considered to be the “Anti-Stress” vitamin because of its ability to strengthen the immune system and improve the body’s ability to withstand stress. Thiamin  helps the body convert sugar into energy. It also assists in manufacturing fat and metabolizing protein. Thiamin is vital for maintaining normal function in the nervous system.
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound needed to store energy in muscles and  helps rid the body of free radicals.  Vitamin B2 play a  vital role in Preventing  Cataracts and  Anemia
• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is needed to form essential enzymes.  It is critical to metabolism, and helps the synthesis of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
• Vitamin B6 helps the immune system produce antibodies which help fight off many diseases. It also helps break down proteins,  the more protein you eat, the more vitamin B6 you need.
• Folic Acid increases lipolysis in adipocytes and may have a role in the prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes
• Vitamin B12 is unique because it can be stored in the liver for years. It helps in the formation of red blood cells and in the maintenance of the central nervous system. B12 plays a vital role for a healthy metabolism
• Calcium is essential to bone health.

Then, of course, there is the proprietary blend.  This is where the magic really happens for Xenadrine ULTRA.  This blend was shown to help  subjects lose 11.24 pounds in 45 days, as opposed to the 0.66 pounds lost by the placebo group.

• Yerba Mate
• Guarana
• Caffeine Anhydrous
• Damiana

The way this group works is primarily through the various types of caffeine.  Yerba Mate, Guarana, and obviously caffeine all contain caffeine.

What are the potential side effects of Xenadrine ULTRA?

As caffeine is a powerful stimulant, you run the risks involved with it.  Some of those risks are: anxiety; diarrhea; headache; increased urination; nausea; nervousness; shakiness; sleeplessness; upset stomach and vomiting.  This doesn’t mean that you will for sure have these.  Is it possible?  Absolutely.  Which is why you really need to consider your own health when thinking about Xenadrine ULTRA.

Should YOU buy Xenadrine ULTRA?

That is pretty much up to you.  Xenadrine ULTRA is definitely one of the more cost effective weight loss supplements out there.  There is also the PROVEN proprietary blend to consider.  Proven ingredients go a long way in my book.  Xenadrine ULTRA doesn’t come with a guarantee, which is a strike against it.  There are also the potential health risks.  You should weigh all these when thinking about it, because Xenadrine ULTRA is pretty much as advertised.

Clinicallix Review

I’m a big fan of clinically proven ingredients, combinations, and patented products.  This is the key to great weight loss pills, pills that will help you lose the weight you have always wanted to lose.  This is the key to happiness in your dieting.  When doing the simple overview of Clinicallix, I notice that there are a lot of ingredients in this supplement that are proven and will help you lose the weight.  Specifically,  I love how the website is filled with graphics that show how the ingredients work when compared to a placebo group.  Call me crazy, I am just someone who wants scientifically proven ingredients in my weight loss pills.  The combination of ingredients in this supplement are broken up into 3 key compounds.  They are:

• Guarana, Damiana, Yerba Mate
• Clucomannan
• Garcinia Cambogia, Gymnema Sylvestre, Chromium Polynicotinate

Clinicallix Side Effects

Guarana has had a history of some potential side effects.  They include: Anxiety; diarrhea; headache; increased urination; nausea; nervousness; shakiness; sleeplessness; upset stomach and vomiting.  Now it is typically safe, but there is a slight possibility that this could occur.

Other related side effects from the other ingredients are very similar to these.  If you have health issues be sure to consult a physician before consuming.

Does Clinicallix work well enough to buy?

I really like these weight loss pills.  The fact that it contains 3 proven compounds is encouraging, and PROVEN to work.  A one-month supply of Clinicallix will cost $59.99, which is a bit pricier than some pills on the market.  However, you pay for what you get in life!  This is a good product, and with the lifetime guarantee you really can’t go wrong.

Lipofuze Review

The thing I really like about Lipofuze, is that the website is very clear about the product aims.  Also, the website gives detailed information about certain ingredients.  To me, the product claims aren’t as important as what the product contains! And Lipofuze really does have some pretty good ingredients.  The thing that most impresses me about Lipofuze is that they detail what each ingredient does, how it has been clinically proven, and what the results of those tests have been.  To me, most people see things and believe them.  Lipofuze’s website is a very visual experience, and when you see the graphs comparing the difference in the people’s lives, you will believe it too!

These ingredients in the product that really stick out and work are ThermoDiamine, Razberi-K, FucoPure, ForsLean, GuggulEZ100, BioPerine and Green Tea. I don’t feel like I need to go into too much scientific detail, but each of these products are either U.S. patented, or clinically proven, or BOTH!  These ingredients will help you lose weight. It is so important to recognize that these are usually your best products available.  Seeing that they are in the product, make sure you recognize that this is a good one.

Another important part of choosing a good fat burner is looking for a money-back guarantee.  If there is no money-back guarantee available, you should typically be leery of those products.  But not to worry, Lipofuze has a fantastic return policy. You can return an empty bottle and you can get a full-refund if the product doesn’t work. That’s a very encouraging promise.

Lipofuze Side Effects

Synephrine is quite a good ingredient (common in fat burners), but has some potentially dangerous side effects.  When looking at the possible problems associated with taking this supplement they include possible: rapid increases in blood pressure, hostility or agitation, restlessness, respiratory problems, headaches, and problems related to blood sugar levels.  Don’t take if you are pregnant or nursing.  If you have any doubts about your ability to take this, consult a physician.

Does Lipofuze work well enough to buy?

Honestly, this is a great fat burner.  It has many ingredients that work very well, proven and are patented.  It does have some potential serious side effects, but when weighed against the benefits – it really does have more positives than negatives.  At a price of $49.95, it really is pretty comparable to other products available on the market.  The money-back guarantee leaves you in a position that you can’t go wrong with!  This one is worth a try.

Simply Slender Conclusion

We are never fond of a company that doesn’t tell you how much they use of each ingredient, especially when they don’t tell you some of the ingredients. It seems that most people who take Simply Slender complain of the bad taste (it comes from the Cayenne Pepper) and side effects (such as nausea and diarrhea). This is not a weight loss supplement that we recommend.
