Warning! Read my Leptoprin review before buying…

Leptoprin SD is supposed to be “A weight control compound for the significantly overweight”.

It’s NOT!

Leptoprin is a weight control compound for the significantly GULLIBLE and ill informed. But you are reading my expose of Leptoprin so we are going to change that.

Does Leptoprin work? Overall Leptoprin isn’t too bad of a product. You are probably surprised to hear me say that since so far I have just been dogging it but you will find out why in just a bit. Leptoprin is pretty much just like every other diet pill on the market… which means it contains a significant dose of caffeine and a few fat burners in small dosages. Leptoprin is no MIRACLE PILL (nothing is).

Ingredients in Leptoprin -When reverse engineering Leptoprin’s 1,185mg proprietary to expose their price I came up with the following ingredient profile:

Serving Size: 2 capsules
Servings per Container: 90
Per 2 capsule serving:
20mg Niacin
39mg Calcium (amino acid chelate)
0.5mg Copper (from copper amino acid chelate)
1,185mg Blend
175mg Yerba Mate
175mg guarana
175mg caffeine
175mg damiana
154mg L-Tyrosine
81mg acetylsalicylic acid  (had to use a white willow 25%)
80mg Green Tea
50mg kola nut
50mg eucommia
50mg schizonepeta
5mg piper nigum
5mg hoelen
5mg polygonum root
5mg turmeric

How much did this Leptoprin Clone Cost???

$4.95 per bottle! Which comes to be a 3,090% MARKUP (the biggest I have seen to date!)

This is why I have been dogging Leptoprin so much – It is the most overpriced diet pill on the market.

Leptoprin Grade: C+

Leptoprin Value:  F

Leptoprin would be on my Best Diet Pills list if you could get it for less than $15. But You can’t. So it’s not. So avoid Leptoprin like the plague.

Leptoprin will cause you to lose a lot more money than it will weight.

WARNING: Find out how much Hydroxycut Hardcore REALLY costs below…

Hydroxycut Hardcore Summary -  Hydroxycut Hardcore is a diet pill marketed by Muscletech.  They manufacture and market numerous diet pill under the Hydroxycut name but the “Hardcore” version is geared towards bodybuilders. A 120 capsule bottle retails for $59.99 and will last you just 20 days following the recommended dosage of 3 capsules 2 times daily. Which means a 1-month supply of Hydroxy Cut Hardcore will cost you $90 (plus shipping or sales tax).

Hydroxycut Hardcore Side Effects - People sensitive to caffeine may experience nausea, headaches, vomiting, rage, diarrhea, depression, irritability, nervousness, sweating, and sleeplessness. From what I’ve researched these side effects occur in roughly 10%-20% of users.

Disecting the HydroxyCut Hardcore Proprietary Blend(s) - When I reversed engineered Hydroxycut Hardcore to figure out how much Hydroxycut Hardcore REALLY COSTS I used the following formula:

Serving Size 3 caps
Servings per Container: 40
Per 3 capsule serving:

“912 mg Proxyclene Fat Loss Blend”

300mg Green Tea (standardized for 90% polyphenold, 75% catechins, 45% epigallocatechin gallate)
300mg Caffeine Anhydrous
200mg Cissus Quadrangularis Extract
100mg White Willow Bark (standardized for 25% salicin)
12mg Aspidosperma Quebracho-blanco (standardized to 0.3% alkaloids)

“171 mg Norepidrol Intensity Focus Blend”

50mg Deanol Bitartrate
50mg Xanthinol Nicotinate
40mg Evodia Tutaecarpa Extract (10% evodiamine)
20mg unula racemosa (2% alantolactone)
11mg codonopsis pilosula

“55mg Lasidrate Delivery Blend”

20mg sophora japonica (97% trihydroxyethylrutoside)
20mg inositol hexaphosphate
10mg cnidium monnieri (20% osthole)
5mg black pepper (95% piperine)

“4.5mg Yohimbacore Blend”
4.5 mg methyl yohimbine hcl

So How Much does my Reverse Engineered Hydroxycut Hardcore Formula REALLY COST???

$4.50 per 120 capsule bottle — Which means Hydroxycut Hardcore has a 1,333% markup!

Hydroxycut Hardcore Conclusion - It’s important to not that hydroxycut hardcore uses liquid capsules and I used gelatin capsules in my revision. From experience I have noticed no positive results from liquid capsules other than FEELING the effects of the product approximately 5-10 minutes sooner.

It’s also important to note that just because hydroxycut hardcore is grossly overpriced doesn’t make it a bad product — it’s actually not half bad. I would grade its overall formula and effects a B- to a B.

To wrap it up Hydroxycut Hardcore is a decent product but will deliver POOR value.

I recommend you NOT buy HYDROXYCUT HARDCORE and instead read my review of the Best Diet Pills with the Best Values.

Orovo / Orovox Juice Review -

Orovox (a.k.a. Orovo Juice) is a new multi-tiered affiliate program product sold by Orovo LLC and its network of 10,000 affiliates.

Orovo Juice contains Dr. Nicholas Perricone’s 10 “SuperFoods” that he claims while on the OPRAH show will help you look 10 years younger in 10 days. He also recommends people take Green Tea, DMAE, and Alpha Lipoic Acid for their antioxidants, anti inflammatory benefits, and weight loss benefits. Dr. Perricone believes that inflammation is the root cause of all disease (including wrinkles, acne, cancer, obesity, etc.).

One of Dr. Perricone’s 10 SuperFoods is the Acai berry which grows only in the Brazilian Amazon. This rare fruit was also recently talked about on the OPRAH show by Dr. Oz as being the most beneficial fruit in the world. It’s aso one of the costliest. It is the MAIN ingredient in Orovo Juice. So i knew right away that this product wasn’t going to be cheap.

Orovo Juice contains a proprietary juice blend that includes (in order of greatest quantity to least):

1. Acai
2. Pineapple
3. Red Grape
4. White Grape
5. Pomegranate
6. Red Raspberry
7. Acerola
8. Aronia
9. Elderberry
10. Cranberry
11. Goji
12. and Mangosteen

In addition to these 12 “SuperFruits” Orovo contains the 9 other SuperFoods (acai is in the juice blend) and the 4 “SuperAntioxidants”.

The actual manufacturing costs of Orovo Juice is $19.25 per (4) 25.3 oz. bottles. Orovo affiliates can buy it for $59.99. Which means Orovo Juice has a 312% markup. Which is “SuperCheap” considering most diet products have on average a 1,000% markup (some over 2,000%).

I strongly recommend Orovo Juice. It’s a very good product with very healthy anti inflammatory ingredients. Its definitely not one of the best diet pills but is probably the best overall health food product in the world and sold at a great price.

Lipocerin Review -

Before we get started exposing the Lipocerin scam you may want to visit the following websites and notice that accept for the product name they are all identical:

lipocerin.com, phenocerin.com, and certiphene.com

Not only are they the same websites but are also contain the same ingredients as one another with the same testimonials. Apparently this company feels that they can just slap a label on any old product with a scientific souding name and gullible consumers will eat them up. I’m not that gullible — neither are you! So lets expose these con artists…

Lipocerin’s formula isn’t half bad. It will work for beginning dieters. It won’t work at all for experienced ones. I sent their formula to a contract manufacturer for a price quote. Lipocerin sells for $59 for one bottle on their website. Lipocerin’s Actual Manufacturing Cost is Only $2.70!

Wow… $59.00 is pretty expensive for a product that costs only $2.70 to manufacture! In fact it is one of the most absurd markups I have ever seen coming in at a mind boggling 2,185% markup!

So Lipocerin is a so-so diet pill, grossly overpriced, the same formula as 3 other products… Could it get any worse?

Just Wait… It gets even uglier:

Lipocerin uses what I feel is one of the dirtiest marketing tactics that is for some reason still allowed by the United States Federal Trade Commission. The “Free Trial”.

How free trials work is a company over charges you for shipping. You MUST pay with your credit card. They give you a sample of a product and if you don’t get a hold of them within a short time period they keep billing your credit card a fortune until you do cancel. Having fallen for this scam myself I can tell you first hand that getting a hold of these companies to cancel future shipments is a nightmare and you end up having to get your credit card company involved to ever get them to stop billing you.

Lipocerin Benefits:

I’ll get back to you when I find some.

Lipocerin Drawbacks:

1. Lipocerin isn’t that good of a diet pill.
2. Lipocerin is a $2.70 diet pill being sold for $59.
3. Lipocerin uses the “Free Trial” to dupe ill informed consumers.

In conclusion NEVER buy LIPOCERIN. Instead read our reviews of the BEST DIET PILLS that contain great ingredients and are sold at reasonable prices.

7-DFB says you can… But are they lying?7-DFB Review If you want to lose weight fast (and affordably) 7-DFB (7 day fat burner) is one of the best diet pills on the market. 7-DFB contains 35 different detoxifying and fat burning ingredients. It’s designed to be a “quick fix” diet pill and should be used sparingly. Many of the ingredients in 7DFB are diuretics — meaning the remove excess water from the skin. Over use of diuretics can have some nasty side effects including migraines, kidney stones, and heat stroke. So if you decide to try 7 DFB use it sparingly. I would recommend no more than one 7-day cycle per month.I love that 7-DFB does not use a proprietary blend. They list the active amounts of all 35 ingredients in their product. So they have nothing to hide. It also makes it easy for me to expose their real manufacturing costs.

How much does 7-DFB Really Cost?

$3.05 per bottle is the quote I got.7-DFB is sold by a multi level marketing company called Orovo. Their associates can buy 7-DFB for just $4.89 per bottle. But thats only if you are an orovo associate. Many of these associates resell 7dfb on eBay for $8-$10.$4.89 for a $3.05 product is an AMAZING value!  It’s only a 63% markup. Most diet pills are sold for a 1,000% markup. Which in 7-DFB’s case would be $30.50. $4.89 is a real bargain for a product with an actual manufacturing cost of $3.05.I strongly recommend 7-DFB to anyone looking to lose weight fast and do so affordably. Even if you buy it on ebay for $10 it’s still a great bargain at just a 300% markup.I read through some 7-DFB sellers uncensored feedback on eBay and it is overwhelmingly positive. I didn’t read a single feedback where an individual lost 14+ pounds in 7 days. I would say that the average person is losing about 6 pounds per 7 day cycle (most likely water weight). 7-DFB is NOT a long term solution diet pill. It’s a quick fix and thats it.  

My Anoretix Review… 

I recently came across a new diet pill called Anoretix that is quickly becoming the most talked about diet pill in the industry. I read on their site that users have lost as much as 12 pounds in 72 hours. My first thought was poppycock — another exaggerated claim from another snake oil salesman.But then I read the supplement facts of Anoretix. WOW! This is the most amazing list of ingredients I have ever seen in a single diet pill formula. Anoretix contains NINE (Yes, 9)Patented/Patent Pending ingredients. You cannot patent an ingredient unless it is CLINICALLY PROVEN to help with weight loss. So I knew right away that this product was going to be a strong diet pill. But would it be priced fairly and have a good price to value ratio?

For anyone who is unaware what I do is expose the Actual Manufacturing Costs of diet pills. Most diet pills have about a 1,000% markup meaning that if it costs $3 to manufacture — companies sell it for $30. Which means we consumers are getting ripped off. When I saw that Anoretix contained 9 patented/clinically proven ingredients I thought it’s gonna cost a fortune. And it wasn’t that cheap — $33 to $50 per bottle depending on the quantity you buy. But how much does Anoretix really cost to make?

Anoretix contains a 1,540mg proprietary blend (I hate proprietary blends because companies are usually trying to hide something with them) of 8 patented ingredients plus 200mcg of patented ChromeMate. The patented ingredients are:

Super CitriMax, Tonalin CLA, Advantra-Z, NeOpuntia, Phase-2, Forlsean, 7-Keto DHEA, and Bioperine (bioperine is actually not patented for its ability to help you lose weight but for its ability to help other nutrients in Anoretix to be properly absorbed and best utilized.)

Because of the proprietary blend I had to reverse engineer the Anoretix formula. When I do this I formulate it the way that would be most beneficial for the user (I hope the companies do the same). So here’s the Anoretix formula I sent out for a price quote: 

Serving size: 2 capsules

Servings per container 60
Per 2 capsule serving:
200mcg ChromeMate
400mg Super CitriMax
400mg Tonalin CLA Powder
200mg Advantra-Z 
200mg NeOpuntia
200mg Phase-2
110mg Forslean (10% Forskohlin)
25mg 7-Keto DHEA
5mg Bioperine

Anoretix costs $12.40 per bottle to manufacture.

Which make its markup 266% to 403% depending on the quantity you order. Which also make Anoretix one of the BEST PRICED DIET PILLS I have ever seen coming in well below the industry average of 1,000%.

Does Anoretix Work?We now know Anoretix is priced extremely well. But how much weight can you expect to lose? Well I can tell you that 12 pounds in 3 days is only possible if you have 100+ pounds to lose. There’s no doubt in my mind that Anoretix can help most everyone lose 2+ pounds per week more than they could achieve with diet and exercise alone. But 12 pounds in 3 days??? I don’t think so.

Anoretix’s GuaranteeAgain… WOW! By law companies are required to offer a money back guarantee of 30 days. So thats what most companies have. Some shady companies have guarantees of 30 days but only honor it if the product is unopened… which is not really a guarantee is it? Anoretix offers an unprecedented Lifetime Money Back Guarantee. How’s that for confidence?

My “undercover” work…I haven’t tried Anoretix yet (I will) but I wanted to see if the Anoretix company really honors that guarantee. So I emailed them and told them I was unsatisfied and wanted my money back. The next morning I got an email from sales@anoretix.com saying they were sorry it didn’t work for me and that they would gladly refund 100% of my purchase price less shipping (is that really 100%? No. But it’s what everyone does. I think they should change there wording).

In conclusion:

• Anoretix has one of the best ingredient profiles I have seen in a diet pill.
• Anoretix has one of the best (lowest) markups I have seen in a diet pill.
• Anoretix has the best guarantee (lifetime) I have seen and they appear to honor it.

Should You Try Anoretix? Why not? It’s a win/win. You either lose weight or get your money back. And if your unethical both. Unless your clinically obese you won’t lose “12 pounds in 3 days” but Anoretix is one of the best ‘bang for your buck’ diet pills I have reviewed.   

Lipo 6 is a popular diet pill amongst bodybuilder’s and not too well known to the mainstream public. I have a Love/Hate relationship with Lipo 6. Let me tell you why…

What I Love about Lipo 6:

1. Lipo-6 uses the basic diet pill ingredients that work. They don’t use any ingredients that haven’t been proven to work in the real world.

2. Lipo 6 doesn’t use a proprietary blend. Which means they have nothing to hide. It is what it is and they are proud to put it on the label.

3. Lipo6 works.

What I Hate about Lipo 6:

1. Lipo 6 overhypes liqui-caps. The only difference between liqui-caps and normal caps from my experience is that you feel the effects of the liqui-caps about 5-10 minutes sooner than normal capsules. Thats it.

2. The price. My oh my… Lipo 6 is OVERPRICED!

I sent the Lipo 6 formula to one of the nations top nutritional supplement manufacturers to see how much Lipo 6 REALLY costs. It’s important for me to note that this quote was not for the liqui-caps but rather using normal capsules which illicit the same results.

Here’s what I sent to the manufacturer:

Serving Size: 2 capsules
Servings per Container: 60
Per 2 Capsule Serving:
200mg Caffeine Anhydrous USP
20mg Synephrine
20mg Synthetic Guggulsterones
5mg Bioperine
3mg Yohimbine hcl

Here’s what the manufacturer sent back to me:

$2.75 per Bottle

Nutrex (the makers of Lipo 6) charge $49.99 per bottle.

That’s a WHOPPING 1,817% Mark Up.

In the end it’s tough to love Lipo 6 because of this outrageous price.

In conclusion… Don’t buy Lipo 6.

Find out Curvelle’s dirty little secrets for yourself…

Curvelle is a new diet pill “Designed Specifically for a Woman’s Needs” according to their website.

But for the life of me I cannot find any research on any of Curvelle’s ingredients that could possibly make it more effective for a women versus a man taking it. Nothing.

So why is Curvelle sold as a diet pill for women only?

It’s just a marketing tactic. So men don’t worry about taking Curvelle. You will not lactate, get overly emotional, or sit down when you pee. It’s just another way for a company to make a quick buck by slapping a feminine looking label on another ordinary product.

Curvelle contains a 683mg per serving proprietary blend of:

Cinnulin (cinnamon extract), Razberi-K (raspberry ketones), Elderberry, Green Tea, and Caffeine.

I don’t know why they used a proprietary blend. I wish they would just list the actual ingredient quantities and not try to hide anything. But I reversed engineered their formula anyways the way I feel that would make the product work most effectively. Here is my formula that I had a nutritional supplement manufacturer quote me the actual manufacturing costs of:

Serving Size 2 capsules
Servings per Container: 50
Per 2 capsule serving:

My 683mg Proprietary Blend:
140mg Cinnulin PF 20:1
140mg Razberi-K
140mg Elderberry extract
130mg Green Tea extract
133mg Natural Caffeine

So how much does my proprietary blend cost? $5.95 per bottle.

How much does the company charge? $49.99.

How long does each bottle last? Recommend use is take 1 serving 3 times daily. So each 50 serving bottle will last you 17 days.

Would you pay pay $49.99 for a $5.95 diet pill that lasts only 17 days??? I wouldn’t either.

Green Tea and Caffeine are the staples of a good diet pill formula. Razberi-K and Cinnulin are great additions. Elderberry really has no business being in a diet pill but I’m sure it has some positive effects and won’t hurt.

But why have the 840% mark up Isatori? Why not sell Curvelle at a more afforable price and have each bottle last at least a full month?

One thing I can say about Isatori and Curvelle is that they have top notch customer service and they honor their money back guarantee — which is 60 days for their products (when you buy direct from them).

Curvelle is a good diet pill. It’s not one of my BEST diet pills because of the extremely poor price to benefits ratio.

Keep reading to find out… (You Will be Shocked!)

MiracleBurn is a diet pill marketed solely on the internet. The company behind MiracleBurn was recently exposed by a CBS news investigation. The under cover investigation found that Excell Now (the makers of miracle burn) has the LOWEST Satisfactory record with the Better Business Bureau and is run out of a Mail Boxes Etc. I personally would not want to buy from a company with this kind of reputation… Would You?

Chances are you heard about MiracleBurn from a google or yahoo advertisement. Most likely on one of these sites:

Dietsinreview.com, wikidietinfo.com, sensational.com, weknowdiets.com, chooseyourdiet.com, skinnyondiets.com or googledietreviews.com

If you visit these sites you will find that they are all for the most part identical to one another and all promote two products: MiracleBurn and Nuphedrine.

MiracleBurn uses what I believe to be one of the dirtiest marketing tactics you could ever imagine which I hope is one day banned by the Federal Trade Commission…

The “Free Trial”

How Miracle Burns free trial works is you pay $7.95 for shipping and handling (a bit pricey if you ask me for a 0.5 ounce bottle). You MUST pay with your credit card. Why is that? Miracle Burn requires you pay S&H with a credit card because after your 7 day trial they automatically bill your credit card the full price of $39.95 (plus $8 shipping) if you do not cancel.

Usually these autoship scams are fly-by-night companies trying to make a quick buck. And the way the do it is making it virtually impossible to cancel your order. Their customer service is great when they are trying to capture your order. But when it’s time for you to get your money back they are nowhere to be found.

Okay… Enough about MiracleBurn’s shady marketing tactics. Let’s get down to what you really want to know about:

MIRACLEBURN’S ACTUAL MANUFACTURING COST

MiracleBurn contains a 1,700mg “Proprietary Blend” plus some vitamins & minerals. When companies use proprietary blends they are usually trying to hide something. They typically use a lot of the inexpensive ingredients and token amounts of the good fat burning ingredients. When I reverse-engineer proprietary blends I always give the company the benefit of the doubt and formulate the way I think it would best work for the consumer.

So this is the fomula I sent off to a contract manufacturer to find out how much MiracleBurn really costs:

Serving Size: 3 capsules
Servings per Container: 30
Per 3 capsule Serving:
48mg Vitamin B6
3mg Biotin
168mcg Chromium
53mcg Iodine

1,700mg blend:
825mg Glucomannan
250mg Advantra-Z
200mg Hoodia
100mg Yerba Mate
100mg White Willow Bark
100mg Apple Cider Vinegar
50mg Cascara Sagrada
25mg L-Carnitine
25mg Senna
25mg Potassium

So how much does MiracleBurn Really cost? (drum roll please…)

$2.75 Per Bottle!

MiracleBurn bill’s your credit card $39.95 (not including shipping & handling) for a $2.75 product. That’s a 1,452% mark up!

WHAT A RIP OFF!

MiracleBurn is by no means a bad diet pill. It contains some pretty good ingredients. It’s no “Miracle” — Average at Best. But the 1,452% Miracle Burn mark up is anything but average… It’s highway robbery! And do you really want to give your hard earned money away to a company with the lowest possible rating with the Better Business Bureau? I don’t want to either.

I wouldn’t mind recommending MiracleBurn to beginning dieter’s if they charge $10-15. But since they want to bill you $48 every month here is my recommendation:

Don’t Buy MiracleBurn.
