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.

Slimatee is a nonprescription herbal product that is made and sold by a company called Ideal Health. It is among a growing category of tea based products focused on helping people to slim down their waistlines.

At the time of the writing of this review, this product was being sold on many sites, particularly large marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay. That said, the official manufacturer’s or brand’s website could not be located through search engines such as Google. There is a website for a company called Ideal Health LLC which also produces supplements, but it doesn’t appear as though that company is related to this particular item.

An article published in 2016 also made reference to a supplement brand experiencing considerable harm following a collaboration with one of Donald Trump’s brands. However, again, it is unclear as to whether or not that is the same company as the one producing this product.

Therefore, the information used for the purposes of creating this review was gleaned from some of the sites that sell it as no official data could be located despite significant efforts. The fact that a manufacturer cannot be tracked down doesn’t necessarily reflect well on a product. Most reputable companies will provide at least a basic web presence with contact information, if only in the form of a social media page.

Slimatee is sold in boxes of 20 teabags. It claims to be made of substances that have been used for weight loss for hundreds of years. Each unbleached paper tea bag is meant to be prepared into one cup of tea. According to the product package, each tea bag contains: frangula bark, senna leaf, hibiscus flowers, black tea, goldenrod herb and maté tea.

Those ingredients are all quite commonplace in herbal teas and the maté is frequently seen in stimulant-based diet pills under the name “yerba mate.” That said, the rest of the ingredients are more likely to act as laxatives and diuretics than they are weight loss promoters. Therefore, even if this product does work, any weight lost will not be in the form of fat. It will be lost fluids and, if the dieter was constipated, they might lose a bit of weight from reduced waste after the laxatives have taken effect.

Laxatives and diuretics are not typically considered to be a safe form of weight loss for many people. Moreover, any difference in size or weight is extremely temporary as it is not the result of actual lost fat.

The company behind Energybolizer Original Formula is called OLAX. That business sells a number of different supplement products both within the weight loss category and a number of other parts of the wellness industry. That company does have an official website through which it provides a certain amount of information about this product. This includes the ingredients that make up the product formula.

A great deal of the real estate on that website suggests that research supports the use of Energybolizer Original Formula for the promised results of boosted muscle and reduced fat. That said, while there are many mentions of the studies, that research isn’t exactly cited at the time this review was written. Furthermore, beyond not providing a link to any location where the study results were published, the company also has not identified who conducted the research, what method was used, how many participants were involved – if it was a human study – or how the results were measured.

This makes it very difficult to place much faith in the research they continually mention. After all, a company with reputable, published research supporting their product would be far more likely to cite that research in order to prove its legitimacy. In this case, there is no way to know if it was conducted by a university or hospital, or if the company conducted its own research through its own methods.

At the time this review was written, the Energybolizer Original Formula was made of: chromium picolinate, white willow bark, green tea, Siberian ginseng, 72 trace mineral complex, garcinia cambogia, royal jelly, ginger, bladderwrack, foti, guarana, hawthorn berries, saw palmetto, kola nut, beer root powder, yerba mate, vitamin B12, and gingko biloba.

None of those ingredients have been proven to directly lead to weight loss by any studies that would be considered acceptable by the medical community. Moreover, it is likely that due to the number of ingredients containing stimulants in this formula, many dieters will experience side effects as the result of its use.

It is highly recommended that anyone who is thinking of purchasing or trying this product first speak with a pharmacist or licensed doctor.

Cellan is a nonprescription diet supplement that is packaged to look like a premium product. It is sold in a black bock which contains a frosted clear bottle, making it look as though it were jewelry or perfume. That said, just because a product is beautifully and sleekly packaged, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will help someone to lose weight. Therefore, it’s a good idea to check out what’s inside the striking packaging before making a purchase.

The official website for Cellan truly takes away from the elegant appearance of the packaging as it features the same loud colors and bikini clad women images that can be found on hundreds of other weight loss product sites throughout the web. In fact, it appears as though its information has been plugged into a very commonly used template from the industry as the entire layout looks extremely familiar to anyone who has looked into at least a handful of diet pills.

Immediately, the site detracts from the impression left by the packaging which shows how easily the opinion can be swayed without even knowing what is in the Cellan formula. Therefore, the next step should be to see what is inside each capsule. According to that official website, the Cellan diet pill ingredients are: African mango, EGCG extract, a berry blend, (which includes blueberry and blackberry extracts and raspberry ketones), vitamin C, and vitamin B3.

These ingredients are not at all unique to this diet pill. The African mango and EGCG extract are both quite commonplace in the nonprescription weight loss industry. While there is some evidence to support the use of EGCG along with healthy eating and regular exercise, African mango has yet to accumulate a solid body of similar reputable evidence.

The rest of the ingredients, while potentially nutritious in some way or another, are entirely unproven. This includes the raspberry ketones in the berry blend. While raspberry ketones have been building up somewhat of a popularity in this industry over the last while, but have no solid research to directly link their use with measurable weight loss.

While a lack of scientific evidence does not mean that the ingredients or the formula won’t work, it does mean that there has yet to be proof that it will work. The reason this is problematic is that even if every one of those substances are effective for weight loss, study is still needed to determine how much is required in order to produce the best results, to find out how much can be taken before side effects occur, and to know whether or not those ingredients lead to interactions or unwanted conflicts or effects among dieters taking certain other foods, supplements, medications or who have any of various common or uncommon medical conditions.

Solaray Yerba Mate is an over the counter diet pill based on a single active ingredient. This substance is rather controversial. While it is found in a very large number of weight loss supplements, it has also been linked to a number of unwanted side effects and many people question whether or not the drawbacks are worth the possible benefits it could provide.

As this product is based on only one ingredient, it’s important to take a much closer look at the research surrounding this substance in order to know whether or not it might work, what benefits it may provide, how much needs to be taken in order to enjoy those benefits, and whether or not that dose could put the user at risk of unwanted side effects.

At the same time, the official Solaray website does not cite any studies that would help to support its claims.

The majority of diet pills are based on formulas combining more than one ingredient in order to be able to enhance the effects or produce a more complete range of benefits than just one. Solaray Yerba Mate has put everything into this one substance.

Yerba mate is mainly helpful to dieters because of the caffeine it contains. As a stimulant, caffeine can boost energy levels, making it easier to keep up with a fitness routine or to remain motivated to diet even after a long day at work. Some people also feel that caffeine helps to reduce their appetites. There are studies suggesting that caffeine can increase the metabolism, too. However, in the absence of other ingredients, that would make this product little more than a caffeine pill.

That said, it is clear that the manufacturer of this product is as aware of its limitations as it is of its strengths. The reason is that in most retailers and marketplaces that sell this product, the price is typically between $7 and $10 for a one month supply. Anyone who has tried diet pills knows that this is an exceptionally low price.

The question is, however, whether or not it works and does so safely. After all, the low price is only a good one if the product actually produces results. There are people who absolutely swear by the benefits of yerba mate and there are those who claim that it causes them to experience jitters, anxiety, moodiness, headaches and other side effects. It appears as though its effects are not consistent from one person to the next and more research is required.
