Avaprex is an As Seen on TV weight loss supplement that is marketed as being an alternative to prescription weight loss medications such as Adipex and Phentermine. The official website that was created specifically for these pills claims a number of different benefits from which dieters are supposed to be able to benefit.

The site makes it very clear right at the start that while these are meant to be highly effective diet pills, Avaprex is not a product that is safe and appropriate for all dieters. For example, it points out that it is meant only for adults who are aged 18 years old or older, and it is not considered to be safe to use for pregnant women or mothers who are breastfeeding their babies.

For the first few months that the product existed, the creators of the official website went to the extent of listening not only the names of all the ingredients that are included in this product, but also included the quantities of each substance when taking in the recommended servings of 2 capsules at a time. At the time this review was written, however, it had designated its formula as proprietary and listed the quantities of only some of its ingredients, instead of all of them. One dose of two capsules contained: 300 mg of raspberry ketone, 200 mg of green tea, 100 mg of caffeine anhydrous, and a proprietary blend of 600 mg containing apple cider vinegar, grapefruit, kelp, acai fruit, African mango, and resveratrol extract.

While the site has gone to the effort of providing this information, which does make it easier for dieters to be able to decide whether or not these ingredients are safe and appropriate for their dieting expectations and health needs, the down side is that the majority of those ingredients are unproven, at best.

Of that entire list of ingredients, only caffeine anhydrous and green tea have a certain body of scientific and clinical evidence to support their use as a part of a diet pill. The rest of the ingredients are considered to be entirely unproven, unlikely to be beneficial, or have only preliminary research to support claims made about their weight loss benefits.

For this reason, it would be challenging to be able to recommend Avaprex over other products on the market that are supported by a more substantial body of research published in peer reviewed medical journals.

ZendaSlim is an over the counter weight loss pill that has been formulated to make it easier for dieters to be able to reduce their fat levels in a way that is faster and easier than diet and exercise alone. This is an exceptionally common claim in the health and wellness industry, so it is important to investigate a product that makes this type of promise, before actually purchasing it and starting to use it.

The official website for these diet pills has underscored the idea that it is “doctor endorsed and recommended.” At the time of this review, there was, indeed, one doctor’s name that could be found on the website in the form of an endorser of ZendaSlim. What was interesting about this individual’s endorsement, at the time of the writing of this review, was that the picture of the doctor who was supposed to have been the endorser is not the same as the image of the man that is linked to the endorsement page. It is unknown whether the link image is a generic photo simply to represent the idea of a doctor who would recommend the product, or whether this is someone else who has remained unnamed but who backs this pill. Either way, it doesn’t leave a feeling of confidence behind on the side of the viewer.

One positive note is that the website takes the additional step of providing a list of all of the ingredients contained within ZendaSlim, including references to studies that have to do with those various substances. The ingredients that make up this product include: Green Coffee Bean Extract, Green Tea Extract, African Mango Extract, Apple Cider Vinegar, Grapefruit, Caffeine, Acai Berry Extract, Resveratrol Extract, and Kelp.

While there are studies cited with respect to these ingredients, when actually looking at them, it is clear that many of them have a slim chance of actually providing any weight loss benefits to the dieter. Acai berry extract and resveratrol extract, for example, have been associated with some of the largest weight loss scams in the history of this category of the industry. Grapefruit has never been directly connected with fat loss. Green coffee bean extract and African mango extract are both greatly hyped ingredients that have never been adequately studied on human subjects for dieting purposes. All of their claims are unproven.

Caffeine and green tea extract are both supported by legitimate medical studies and can help to reduce the appetite, boost energy levels, and enhance fat burning.
