UltraTrim Hoodia

Nov 08, 2008   Categories: UltraTrim Hoodia

Hoodia UltraTrim Review

UltraTrim are a UK based supplier of weight loss products, vitamins and supplements – their credentials stack up. However, their Hoodia products are rather less convincing.

UltraTrim manufacture their products in house and the consumers mind can be put at ease as there are contact details including a telephone number on display.

UltraTrim has several diet pills in their product mix but for this review we are going to concentrate on the three Hoodia Gordonii diet pills

Ultra Trim Hoodia Gordonii Capsules

The 3 capsule products are:

  • Pure Hoodia Gordonii Extract 500mg Capsules
  • Pure Hoodia Gordonii 400mg
  • Pure Hoodia Gordonii 700mg

The first product in the range is Hoodia extract – Hoodia extract can be discounted as an effective product as extract is the cheaper alternative to raw Hoodia powder.

To the uninitiated the pricing of comparable Hoodia products may vary. Do not compare Hoodia powder to Hoodia extract – orange squash is not orange juice. Hoodia Powder is what you want – not Hoodia extract.

The second product is Hoodia UltraMax and contains 400mg of core root powder (the good stuff) and according to the official UltraTrim website is CITES Certifiedthe big question is is the theirs or another organisations?

The flagship product is the 700mg Hoodia Gordonii package – like other manufacturers that supply over 400mg of supposedly Hoodia powder is how they manage to cram 700mg in a standard sized capsule.

Hoodia UltraTrim Conclusion

Its a difficult task dismissing a UK based Hoodia importer and supplier as UK companies on the whole provide the authentic Hoodia powder.

Recommended Hoodia Slimming Pills

Pure Hoodia or Ultra TrimUltraTrim does not supply concrete concrete evidence of authenticity.

There would be no reason to buy UltraTrim Hoodia over and above Pure Hoodia from PureSlim. More about Pure Hoodia

ProShape Rx Review

Oct 22, 2008   Categories: Proshape Rx

Review Of ProShape Rx

ProShape Rx is combination herbal slimming tablet that contains Hoodia Gordonii

Although we are not particularly strong advocates of appetite suppressants that contain a multitude of ingredients, ProShape Rx seem to have the balance just right.

The ProShape Rx system is designed to help you lose weight in safe and controlled manner and doesn’t promise results that cannot be achieved unlike some of the super hyped weight loss products we have reviewed recently.

What is ProShape Rx

A natural herbal slimming supplement that is without filler ingredients that can suppress appetite and reduce the need for snacking in between meals. The appetite suppressant is Hoodia Gordonii. For greater detail as to how ProShape Rx works click here

ProShape Rx Ingredients

White Kidney Bean Powder – Phaseolus Vulgaris
A fair few clinical studies have proved that White Kidney Bean interrupts the digestive process that converts starch to sugar. This lessens the caloric intake from foodstuffs such as bread, pasta, potatoes and rice. By reducing the absorption of these sugars, the body has fewer calories to store.

Beet root – Beta Vulgaris
Beta vulgaris encourages and aids liver metabolism, helping to normalize the Ph of the body and strengthening the blood.

White Willow (bark) – Salix Alba
When combined with the other ingredients, Salix Alba is valued for its ability to promote the metabolizing of fat and increase caloric expenditure.

Other ingredients include: L-Methioinine, Fenugreek extract, Green Tea and Chitosan. For a greater explanation of the included ingredients click here

ProShape Rx Side Effects

A natural organic weight loss formula that should not cause any unwanted side effects.

ProShape Rx Accreditation

As well as endorsement from the medical fraternity, Proshape RX has testimonies from the herbal world including:

  • The Herb Society Of America
  • Alternative Medicine
  • American Holistic Health Association
  • University Of Washington

More herbalist endorsements here

Does Proshape RX Work

Customer testimonies, testimonials and reviews are positive and there does not appear to be any negativity surrounding the company behind the product.

Should I Buy ProShape RX

Proshape RX is one the better slimming supplements and although it is more aimed to the American dieter it would certainly be worth experimenting with.

Where To Buy ProShape Rx

Buy direct from the Proshape Rx website

That aside – Proactol is a better option for a UK based dieter, not only for the fact is ships from the UK but it is further down the road in its proof of results. Proactol is not Hoodia based but can suppress appetite and stop the absorption of over a quarter of dietary fat. More about Proactol

Dytrexil Hoodia

Oct 17, 2008   Categories: Dytrexil

Dytrexil Hoodia Capsules Review

Dytrexil is quite unusual as it is one of the few Hoodia diet pill products that does not capitalise on the word Hoodia within its branding.

Marketed as 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii, Dytrexil claims that it can suppress appetite and increase the metabolism to gently burn fat.

The problem here is that Hoodia does not burn fat, it is an appetite suppressant and not a fat burner.

So there must be other ingredients present which rather contradicts the 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii message.

What is Dytrexil

As touched upon, Dytrexil is a Hoodia product that claims to be authentic South African Hoodia Gordonii – the official websites states it authenticity but actual documented proof does not appear to exit. There is no CITES certificate displayed.

The official website has an FAQ section where one of the questions is “Who Is Our [Dytrexil] Supplier” the answer quite comically is “Due to obvious business considerations, we don’t want to specifically name our supplier and alert competitors to our source.”

Including the supplier details would prove authenticity – so why not display? Brands such as Pure Hoodia freely display all documentation and certificates – it doesn’t appear to have harmed their business, it is still going strong after 10 years.

Dytrexil also claims that the product contains 1200mg of Hoodia Gordonii. This is where the problem lies, not just with Dytrexil but so many other hoodia products.

Some Hoodia Products contain Hoodia Gordonii powder – this is raw Hoodia that is considered the most potent form, undiluted and unprocessed. A standard sized capsule or vegecap can store 400mg of raw powder.

Some Hoodia products contain Hoodia extract. Hoodia extract is cheaper to produce and subsequently sells for approximately half the price of Hoodia powder products. Anything up to 1200mg of extract can be squeezed into a capsule.

Dytrexil contains Hoodia extract – this is a major negative.

Does Dytexil Cause Side Effects

Unlikely to cause any side effects. Both extract and powder are natural and relatively free of side effects.

Should I Buy Dytrexil

Not recommended.

Alternative Diet Pills

Proactol fat binderProactol – a clinically proven fat binder that can stop the absorption of a percentage of dietary fat from food consumed.

Proactol was recently featured in the successful slimmers survey of 2008. Thousands of people who had successfully lost weight voted Proactol as one of the best 5 ways to lose weight.

Zylorin Fat Burner

Sep 12, 2008   Categories: Zylorin

Zylorin Review

Zylorin rates itself very highly, the makers claim that they have produced the most effective slimming product available today.

This ultra effective slimming product was brought to the market by consulting the leading researchers and authorities in diet and weight loss science with focused goal in mind – to produce the most effective slimming product to dwarf all others in the non prescription weight loss market.

The marketing spiel continues to under their supposed superiority by drawing attention to their fact that Zylorin is a “proprietary blend of premium grade, clinically proven weight loss ingredients thave the backing of compelling  researched scientific facts – Zylorin has achieved elite status as the most effective weight loss product on the market today!”

In a market where it appears anything goes nowadays in terms of product efficacy, Zylorin has outdone Lipovox when it comes to hype over substance. Read About Lipovox

What Does Zylorin Do

Zylorin is fat burner, appetite suppressant and can energize. A weight loss product that offers everything to the user should retain a premium price point and yet Zylorin can be bought from Ebay for next to nothing.

Zylorin Ingredients

The ingredients are not easy to find so one can only assume that that they are top secret.

Is Zylorin The Most Effective Weight Loss Pill

Products such as Zylorin should be taken with a liberal pinch of salt – not a recommended weight loss product.

Alternatives To Zylorin

As far as appetite suppressants are concerned Hoodia Gordonii is pretty much unrivaled in the non prescription market place. Read About Hoodia Gordonii

Proactol is a fat binder that has gained much media interest recently largely due its triumph over Lipobind when Proactol was voted best fat binder 2008 and one of the top 5 ways to lose weight in recent poll under taken by the Daily Telegraph. Read the Telegraph article here

Top 10 Weight Loss Tips

Jul 10, 2008   Categories: Articles,General

Top Tips For Losing Weight

Weight Loss Tips

Pick up any health or diet related magazine and you will almost certainly find an article entitled something like “Top Tips For Losing Weight.”

So not be left out in the cold we have decided to publish our own.

Do bear in mind that there is no real secret to losing weight – if you have been searching for the absolute truth and not yet discovered what you may think everyone else knows apart from you don’t be too dismayed

1. Exercise

It may seem obvious but mobilty is the only way to burn calories and body fat. Do not be fooled by slimming pills or diet plans that promise a fat burning effect by doing nothing.

One of the best forms of exercise is swimming. The thought of donning a bathing costume with all your body (and fat) on display may be unappealing – tough it out, no pain no gain.

2. Keep Weight Loss Statistics

A different school of though to the majority who recommend no keep tabs and stats. We disagree, get competive – make you weight loss target into a game that you simply must win.

3. Keep Your Diet A Secret (at first)

Don’t tell your friends and family that you are on a diet and plan to lose weight – this could bring unnecessary pressure and ruin your diet chances.

4. Set A Realistic Weight Loss Target

Trying to lose weight rapidly will most likely not happen and if it does it could have detrimental effect on your health.

Give yourself a 4 month weight loss target and aim toward a special event ie, a holiday, a birthday or even Christmas.

5. Don’t Starve Yourself

Contrary to popular belief – starvation diets do not work long term and can have the opposite effect. Your body may go into starvation mode and start to store body fat.

If you have problem controlling what you eat try taking a natural appetite suppressant

6. Eat Slowly

Dont rush meal times – chew your food for around 30 seconds each mouthful. You are not in a race.

7. Join A Weight Loss Club

An online weight loss club or real world, its up to you. A real world weight loss club locally to you would be better – strength in number and great for support.

8. Don’t Buy Anymore Clothes

This one is a biggy – buying clothes for your current size is admitting defeat – if you have a passion for fashion buy an item of clothing that is one or two sizes too small and hang it on your wardrobe door as a potential reward

9. Obesity

If you are extremely overweight or obese and have a high Body Mass Index (BMI) a visit to your GP or doctor should be in order – there may an underlying reason why you are obese.

10. Don’t Keep Searching For Weight Loss Tips

You already know how to lose weight – it is not a secret and there is no mystery. Is it just a question of doing something and doing it today.
