No-Stim ReviewNo-Stim is marketed as a caffeine-free weight loss supplement from Addrena LLC. Designed for both men and women, it is non-stimulant fat burner meant to function as both a thermogenic and appetite suppressant to help with weight management. According to its Amazon sales page, it promises “slow, steady weight loss results over time in a safe way without stimulants.”

Taking dietary supplements that can help curb hunger can make it easier to stick to a calorie-controlled diet. As for one that encourages thermogenesis, this can be beneficial when combined with exercise to maximize fat burning potential.

That being said, the only way to really know if No-Stim can live up to claims is to take a look at the ingredients in this non-prescription weight loss formula.

When this No-Stim review was written, the ingredients included the following: Potassium Iodide, Hoodia Gordonii Stem Extract, Guggel-Oleo-Gum-Resin Extract, Saffron Bulb Extract, N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine, Selenium.

Unfortunately, none of these ingredients have ever been clinically proven effective for weight loss. In spite of this, there are still claims that have been made about each of them, and this may be why some of these ingredients may sound familiar to you.

For instance, hoodia gordonii is believed to help suppress appetite and the common story is that it has been used by South African tribesmen for centuries during long hunting trips to help stave off hunger.

Potassium iodide, on the other hand, is needed by the body to maintain proper thyroid function. Insufficient amounts of this mineral can lower metabolism, which may contribute to weight gain.

Selenium and guggulsterone are both believed to help support metabolism, saffron is believed to decrease appetite, lower cravings and give the mood a boost, while N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine may help thyroid function.

Although these do sound like wonderful benefits, without solid clinical evidence to prove that they can indeed be advantageous for weight management, there is no guarantee that they will be of any real assistance to those who take them.

On the plus side, No-Stim is true to one of its claims. It is a non-caffeine and stimulant-free dietary supplement. This may make it an ideal choice for anyone who is highly sensitive to stimulants or who simply wants to avoid them, and is interested in trying an over-the-counter (OTC) weight management product.

That being said, keep in mind that even though No-Stim is available without prescription and is stimulant-free, it’s still wise to speak with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement for weight loss or any other health reason, to make sure it is the right choice for you.

The recommended dosage is to take 1 tablet before meals, two times per days (a maximum of 2 tablets in 24 hours).

Daily Fit ReviewDaily Fit claims to be a stimulant-free fat burner that has been formulated to help you burn calories. It offers thermogenic fat burning support to help you stay lean and fit. It is manufactured by Optimum Nutrition and its primary active ingredients are L-Carnitine and Green Tea. Both of these ingredients are thought to help support metabolism and help you get the most out of your fat burning when combined with exercise.

More specifically, when this Daily Fit review was written, the formula contained the following ingredients per 2 capsule serving: Thiamin (3 mg), Riboflavin (3.4 mg), Niacin (12 mg), Vitamin B6 (4 mg), Folic Acid (200 mcg), Vitamin B12 (12 mcg), Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl (500 mg), Green Tea Extract (200 mg), Red Pepper Extract (65 mg), Black Pepper Extract (10 mg).

The suggested use is to take Daily Fit in the morning after meals. Other than this instruction on the official product page, no other directions, such as how many pills to take per day, etc.) are provided.

None of the above ingredients have ever been clinically proven effective or safe for weight loss or treating obesity. What’s more, Daily Fit is not stimulant-free as the manufacturer claims. It may be considered “non-stimulant” due to the low levels of caffeine in green tea but it is certainly not free of caffeine, which is a stimulant.

Although green tea certainly does not contain as much caffeine as coffee nor is the caffeine content of green tea extract as potent as caffeine anhydrous, caffeine still exists within it. For a company to claim that their product is “simulant-free” or to give the impression that it does not contain caffeine is simply untrue and irresponsible. It suggests that either the company is lying or that it does not know the difference between a product that contains caffeine and one that doesn’t.

Either way, this is a red flag for Daily Fit and the company behind it, Optimum Nutrition. If you are interested in taking a fat burning dietary supplement, there are better products available from far more reputable companies.

That being said, no matter what dietary supplement you might consider as part of your weight management regimen, always remember that it’s a good idea to discuss your plans with your healthcare provider. A professional medical opinion can be very useful in helping you find a product that is safe and provides you with the best weight loss support.

INVIGOR8 Fat Burner ReviewINVIGOR8 Fat Burner is an over the counter weight loss product designed to make it easier for dieters to be able to lose weight. The official INVIGOR8 website claims this fat burning supplement will reduce cravings between meals while its thermogenic ingredients “melt away fat” all throughout a user’s busy day.

From that very language, people experienced in the weight loss industry know to be skeptical of the product as no supplement – even those with the best clinical trials and consumer feedback – can work by melting away fat. That is a very common claim among products that are trying to make sales and aren’t necessarily formulated to provide actual results.

That said, just because it has sketchy language on its official website, it doesn’t automatically mean that INVIGOR8 Fat Burner won’t work. Therefore, the next step for a dieter is to have a look at the ingredients that make up this formula. Fortunately, the official website does provide a clear list of all the active ingredients contained within its capsules. Even better, it also provides the specific amount in which each ingredient has been used for every 2 capsules – which is the equivalent to one serving when taking according to the package directions.

At the time this review was written, the INVIGOR8 Fat Burner ingredients were: green tea leaf extract, green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketones, olive leaf extract, bacopa leaf extract, garcinia fruit extract, chrysin and forskohlli root extract. Interestingly, despite the dubious claims made about this product, there is some preliminary research supporting the use of some of its ingredients. While it is clear that some of the ingredients – such as raspberry ketones – were selected because they have received a great deal of media hype and haven’t necessarily been proven to work in medical studies, others are better supported.

For example, green tea leaf extract has been widely researched and a growing body of evidence is building to support its use to help promote fat burning while reducing the accumulation of body fat.

To use INVIGOR8 Fat Burner according to the package directions, dieters should begin by taking one capsule twice per day. The pills should be taken 30 to 45 minutes ahead of a meal. This should be continued for a period of 3 days to determine the user’s tolerance level to the ingredients. It is not made clear what exactly a dieter should be watching for during that time. That said, after three days, the dieter is supposed to take 2 capsules, twice per day ahead of meals, for a total of 4 pills per day. Accustomed users are supposed to take 2 capsules, three times per day before a meal for maximum results, for a total of six pills per day.

As each bottle contains 60 pills, each bottle will last only 10 days for accustomed users. This means that they will need to use three bottles per month. At the moment, the website offers three bottles for $112.39. Since most dieters will need to lose weight for longer than a month, this product would prove to be cost prohibitive even if it did work, particularly when considering its claims are dubious. It is also not clear what sort of diet and exercise program should be followed while taking INVIGOR8 Fat Burner.

Fentalena ReviewFentalena is an over the counter weight loss supplement that markets itself exclusively to women. It targets women who not only want to lose weight, but who have struggled to do so in the past and feel as though they are the only ones who can’t seem to make their diets work. It quite specifically speaks to women who are frustrated and feel as though they’ve run out of options that can work for them.

This product claims to be an appetite suppressant as well as a fat burner through thermogenesis and an energy booster. These are very common claims and they are typically found together in products that contain stimulants. The reason is that many stimulants can produce all three of these effects in the body. Still, the idea is to know whether or not this product has the right types of ingredients and the right quantity of stimulants to make sure that there is a chance it can help produce fat loss without leading to severe unpleasant side effects.

The ingredients in the Fentalena formula make up the Fentalena Proprietary Blend. Its ingredients include: Garcinia Cambogia Extract, Green Coffee Bean Extract, Raspberry Ketones, Green Tea Leaf, Yohimbe Bark Extract, Acai Fruit Extract, Goji Fruit Extract, Pomegranate Fruit Extract, Noni Fruit Extract, Cinnamon Twig, Galangal Rhizome, Glucuronloactone, Naringin, Hoodia godonii extract, Guggulsterones E & Z. The pill also contains Thiamne, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Vitamin B12, and Pantothenic Acid.

When compared to the ingredients lists on many high quality product, this one easily contains three to four times the number of substances. Though it’s hardly a record breaker, it contains a striking number of ingredients, which should cause many dieters to wonder if there is enough of each substance to actually produce a desired effect.

Also noticeable is that while many of these ingredients are quite popular in over the counter weight loss substances, very few of them have a substantial body of medical research to support their use and none of them would be considered as proven by the medical community.

While this doesn’t mean that the ingredients are necessarily ineffective, it does suggest that the manufacturer does not have the information necessary to chose the perfect amount of an ingredient to ensure maximum benefit with the lowest risk of side effects. The reason it hasn’t been able to do this is that the evidence has not yet been provided through scientific study and therefore that amount simply isn’t known. Moreover, without being proven through medical research, it’s also impossible to know if it causes negative effects if used over the longer term, if it conflicts with other supplements, drugs or medical conditions, or if it really does produce the promised benefits.

Dynamic Body Shaper Diet & Energy Review

Dynamic Body Shaper Diet & Energy is an over the counter diet pill that is one of several different products in that category made by Weider. Weider is a somewhat large supplement company that also makes products for several other health and wellness purposes. It focuses mainly on weight loss, pre-workouts, bodybuilding, weight gain, creatine supplements and stacks.

The official website for Weider has a complete webpage dedicated exclusively to Dynamic Body Shaper Diet & Energy. It provides some limited information to be helpful to dieters, as well as a partial list of all the ingredients that comprise the formula. This information can be very helpful to dieters who are trying to learn more about the product and who want to make sure it will be safe for them to use. This information can also be brought to the dieter’s doctor in order to be able to check into its appropriateness. It is a shame that it is not provided in any useful way on this particular site.

Interestingly, one of the first things said about this product on the website is that it does not contain any ephedrine. It is unclear as to why this was pointed out, unless there was, perhaps, a previous version of the product that once contained it back when the ingredient used to be legal. However, it does not specify, so it is impossible to know.

What this product does contain is not listed on the site. At the time this review was written, the only one of the Dynamic Body Shaper Diet & Energy ingredients listed on the official website was chromium picolinate. The product package also identifies green tea as an ingredient, though that is not mentioned on the website.

Chromium picolinate is sadly lacking in scientific support to indicate that it can be used for weight loss purposes. Well reputed websites such as the Mayo Clinic states that more research is needed to better understand chromium before it can be considered to be proven for use for dieters.

There is some research to support the use of green tea to improve weight loss results. However, without knowing how much green tea is included in this formula, it’s impossible to know if enough was used to mirror the results of the research.

A warning is posted on the website for residents of California in order to comply with Proposition 65. It says that this product contains chemicals that are known by the state to cause reproductive harm such as birth defects. That said, it did not identify the ingredient that was the culprit behind that warning.

Green Coffee Plus Review
Green Coffee Plus is one of dozens upon dozens of diet pills based on this very popular ingredient which gained the majority of its attention when it was mentioned on an episode of the Dr. Oz daytime talk show program. Unfortunately, the statements made about this ingredient were not only unproven at the time, but they have been disproven since its airing.

Dr. Oz faced a federal Senate committee as a result of having made this and several other similar claims about unproven ingredients. This hasn’t stopped the ingredient from being highly popular as is reflected in the existence of products such as Green Coffee Plus.

That said, it’s important to note that just because the research isn’t there to prove that Green Coffee Plus can work, it doesn’t mean that it won’t. However, without the research into the ingredients and this specific formula combination, it’s not possible for a dieter to know whether or not the ideal quantities are being used, what benefits could be expected, what interactions could occur with other ingredients, medications or medical conditions, or how much is too much and causes the product to become toxic.

The official website for Green Coffee Plus claims that there will be a number of benefits to dieters using this product. For one thing, they claim that there aren’t any fat cells that can “resist” green coffee bean, the main ingredient in this formula. It also states it will help a dieter to lose up to 16 pounds per month, to repair the metabolism, to regulate blood pressure and to improve skin condition.

These are not only unproven claims but they are also quite difficult to believe considering their broad spectrum and their very nature.

While no research was cited in the description of this product on the official website, many of the claims made about it reflect the results of a moderate sized study that was in fact conducted. However, as positive as the results of that study appeared to be, they have been determined to be unusable because the methods used by the researchers turned out to be tainted.

As a result, it’s very difficult to believe the claims made about this product as they appear to lean on research with unusable results. The information they appear to rely on is not considered to be trustworthy by the medical community. It is highly recommended that a doctor be consulted before using this product.

TRIMTHIN X700 Review

TRIMTHIN X700 is a weight management capsule developed to help people to be able to achieve their goals more effectively by overcoming the barriers in their way. The key to the success of this product is in its proprietary formula which is based entirely on premiums grade clinically researched ingredients.

The manufacturer of this product, an American company called Intechra Health Inc, has an official website. On that site, there is a sizeable section dedicated to TRIMTHIN X700, one of it’s most effective products for energy. It describes the product, how it should be taken, how it works and what ingredients are included in the formula. The ingredients are all described in detail including descriptions of research with cited sources linked to the peer reviewed industry journals in which the studies were published.

These ingredients include energy boosters, focus enhancers, healthy metabolism supporters, thermogenics and fat interaction substances. These create a solid tool kit for dieters to use along with their healthy, nutritious eating plan that is properly calorie restricted, and a regular exercise regimen suited to their fitness level.

The reason this tool kit is exceptionally beneficial is that each of the types of ingredients in this formula help users to overcome different types of obstacles to their weight loss strategies. For instance, thermogenics help to raise the body temperature, encouraging it to reach a more efficient burn rate.  Metabolism supporters help to make sure your metabolic rate is being maintained at your best.  This way, you’ll feel confident in knowing you’re getting the most out of your fat burning workouts.

Speaking of fat burning workouts, you’ll have the energy you need to get up and do them at a great performance level with the energy boosters within these bright red capsules.  TRIMTHIN X700 will also give you focus enhancers so you’ll be able to pay attention to what you’re eating, stay on track and make smart food choices, not just fall back on the old ones that caused you to gain weight in the first place.

The ingredients are combined into a proprietary formula called the TRIMTHIN X700 COMPLEX. It includes: Green Tea (Camelia sinensis) (leaf) Extract, Green Coffee (Coffea arabica) (bean) Extract 4:1, Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Caffeine, Xanthinol Nicotinate, Cnidium (Cnidium monnieri) (fruit) Powder, Eleuthero (root) (Eleutherococcus senticosus) Powder.

Intechra Health manufactures TRIMTHIN X700 at a facility in the United States.  This brings many dieters comfort from knowing that a high priority has been placed on quality and safety in the making of this product.

To use these diet pills according to the manufacturer’s directions, they are taken 2 at a time. Two are taken a half hour before breakfast with an 8 ounce glass of water. Another 2 are taken a half hour before lunch in the same way. No more than 4 should be taken in a day and the pills shouldn’t be taken within 5 hours of going to sleep as they do contain stimulants.

PHENBLUE Review

PHENBLUE is an over-the-counter (OTC) weight management aid. It is a capsule containing a proprietary formula meant to be used as a part of a complete strategy that also includes healthy nutritious dieting and exercise appropriate to the dieter’s fitness level.

This non-prescription diet pill has been developed by Intechra Health Inc. This is an American company that also manufactures its products in a United States facility. Its manufacturing facility is committed to upholding the best practices, which means that you can expect PHENBLUE and any products that it develops to be of the absolute highest quality.

The official website for the product shows that the company prides itself on the quality of its ingredients. The PHENBLUE proprietary formula is composed exclusively of ingredients that have been clinically studied. The research cited on the website shows that the substances in this weight management capsule have been shown to be fat attackers, focus enhancers and energy boosters.

Those types of ingredients can help to make a much needed difference in supporting a dieter’s effort to reach his or her goals. The reason is that they can help a dieter with control when it comes to some of the top most identified complaints regarding what makes it difficult to lose weight.

For instance, many dieters feel that their metabolism simply isn’t fast enough to help them to reach their goals at the speed they would like. Slow metabolisms can make it very difficult to lose weight and can take its toll on a person’s motivation to keep trying. Thermogenic intensifiers can aid the body in burning through calories and fats by supporting metabolic rate. This is particularly true when combined with cardio exercises, which naturally increase the body’s rate of fat burning. Many dieters look to this type of support to help them to get the very most out of every workout.

Other dieters find that their hunger is the main barrier between them and their goals. When all they can think about is food, it makes it difficult to keep portion control and smart meal and snack choices high on the priority list. Fat attackers can support a dieter’s efforts to stay within a reasonable daily calorie limit in connection with alertness boosters that keep them on top of clever food choices.

Energy boosters don’t often get the credit they deserve in the weight loss industry. Energy plays two very vital indirect roles in losing weight. The first is it gives a dieter alertness and drive, making it easier to stay motivated to keep up with the efforts necessary to lose weight. The second is that it helps to improve workout performance. Therefore, energy boosters can help to ensure that every minute spent exercising is being used to its fullest.

In PHENBLUE’s case, the ingredients that make up the formula are: NeOPuntia® (Prickly Pear), Caffeine (150mg), Organic Green Tea (Matcha) Leaf Powder, Theobromine.

Metabo 379 Review

Metabo 379 is a nonprescription diet pill that is designed to provide dieters to achieve faster fat burning. The goal is to help dieters to boost the results of their efforts by giving their bodies the ability to work through calories and fats more quickly than would be possible on their own.

The official website for the company that makes this product – BioTrust Nutrition – has a website dedicated to Metabo 379. It claims that by using this diet pill, dieters can lose 3.79 times more weight than they would on their own. It isn’t clear exactly how they obtained this figure as no studies or research have been cited.

The site also claims that by taking this pill you can expect to start seeing results in as little as two weeks from starting. Not only will you lose weight over three times more quickly, says the site, but you will also see a 2.2 times decrease in waist and hip size. Again, no studies were cited to share how that figure was obtained, nor was it made clear what “2.2x decrease in waist & hip size” actually means. It wasn’t stated what the 2.2 times figure was referring to or to what it was being compared.

Still, regardless of the lack of cited studies, the website still claims that the product has been scientifically proven. This may be true but it remains difficult to believe. The reason is that companies that have any reputable research to back their products will nearly always share links to that research. This is because scientific studies are time consuming and expensive. Moreover, scientific proof is rare within this industry. So if it is present, companies will jump at the chance to share it with customers. This is not the case with Metabo 379.

Every bottle contains 60 capsules and as each serving is only 1 capsule, this means that a bottle provides sixty servings. Every capsule contains a formula made of up SIGMALean complex (sphaeranthus indicus flower head extract and garcinia mangostana fruit rind extract) and BIOperine piper nigrum fruit extract.

Unfortunately, without actually citing a study, the claims that the formula is “scientifically-backed” by “peer-reviewed research” doesn’t offer much to customers. It doesn’t show what kind of research was performed, who conducted it, how it was conducted , what was found, or even for what purpose the research was conducted. Nothing about the claims say that the scientific research proved that its use results in weight loss. The ingredients could have provided any results at all to be involved in peer-reviewed research.

It is unlikely that any doctor would ever consider these claims acceptable or believable and it is, therefore, difficult to think of a reason to recommend this product.

phenXTREME Review

phenXTREME is a nonprescription weight loss supplement produced by SuppleSense LLC. It is designed to be a product that will help to support weight loss. In fact, it is marketed as being an over the counter alternative to the popular prescription diet drug called Phentermine (Adipex). This helps to explain the “phen” portion of the product’s name, as it is suggesting this connection right into its name.

There are dozens, if not hundreds of nonprescription weight loss supplements on today’s market shelves that make very similar claims. Therefore, it’s up to the dieter to do his or her homework to know for certain that this will be an appropriate product for his or her needs and unique medical history.

phenXTREME is made of a proprietary formula. At the time this review was written, the ingredients within that blend consisted of: caffeine anhydrous, schisandra fruit, L-Arginine, beta-alanine, guarana seed extract, uva ursi, capsicum, garcina cambogia, green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone and tribulus terrestris.

The directions for this product say that one serving is 2 capsules. Each serving contains 936 mg in total of the ingredients within the proprietary blend. While it is perfectly legal for a manufacturer to label a proprietary blend with a total quantity of ingredients instead of identifying each amount separately, this can be frustrating for dieters who are trying to inform themselves.

After all, if you are researching a substance to see if it is effective or if it can lead to side effects, then it isn’t just the substance that will be researched, but also how it is used and how much of it. There is, after all, a big difference between using 100 mg of caffeine anhydrous – about the same as a cup of coffee – or 300 mg. This can be the difference between a helpful energy boost or a range of side effects like anxiety, jitters, nausea, headaches, rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations and others.

Considering the number of different stimulants in this product (caffeine anhydrous, guarana seed extract, and green coffee bean extract) and the fact that it also contains diuretics like uva ursi, it would be very helpful to dieters if they could know just how much of these substances they are taking.

It is very important to speak with a doctor before beginning the use of this product. Stimulants and diuretics are not safe for all dieters and could place a person’s health at risk if used alongside certain other products or medical conditions. It is also important that this type of pill be combined with the right lifestyle changes in order to gain possible benefits while avoiding certain unwanted symptoms that can be associated with the use of this type of ingredients list.
