Hydroxycut Withdrawn From Market

Categories: Low Fat News    

Hydroxycut Linked To Liver Damage

hydroxycut-now-bannedAmerica No.1 selling fat burner, Hydroxycut is to be withdrawn from sale and customers already using the product are advised to contact the company they purchased from to recieve a refund.

Hydroxycut is to be withdrawn from the United States, the UK and across Europe.

Some third party stockists (mainly in Europe) will still have stock and it is anticipated still continue to fulfill order requests – it is strongly advised to resist the temptation even if incredibly cheap discounted prices are offered.

Hydroxycut Side Effects

Recent reports published from 5 years of study have linked Hydroxycut to serious liver damage. Although only 26 cases have been documented the link is strong enough for the manufacturer Iovate to pull the product and issue a health warning.

The move to stop selling Hydroxycut is voluntary but Iovate has been strongly advised by the FDA (the Food and Drugs Aministration) to do so.

What Hydroxycut Products Are To Be Recalled

The whole product range appears to be under scrutiny which would point to the fact that it is not yet known which individual ingredient is responsible for the health scare.

How To Claim A Hydroxycut Refund

The following products are no longer available:

  • Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets
  • Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
  • Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Capsules
  • Hydroxycut Max Liquid Capsules
  • Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
  • Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
  • Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
  • Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
  • Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
  • Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
  • Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed
  • Hydroxycut 24
  • Hydroxycut Carb Control
  • Hydroxycut Natural

If you have any of the above contact the store or website from which you purchased for a refund – proof of purchase may be necessary.

Herbal Slimming Tablets

Hydroxycut is 2nd major brand to be hit with a health issue in the last 6 months. Autumn 2008 saw Acomplia Rimonabant removed from shelves and delisted as an approved prescription only slimming tablet.

The health scare should push consumers towards the more natural slimming products rather the chemically produced.

Most Effective Slimming Tablets

Best Slimming Tablets To Buy

most-effective-diet-pillsIf you have made the decision to do something about your current weight issue and the slimming tablet route is one that you want to explore – please be mindful that the slimming tablet industry is worth in excess of a billion pounds and increasing each year.

This lucrative market creates competition between rival manufacturers and producers of slimming related products. Some manufacturers have been found guilty of over stepping the boundaries with their advertising and marketing campaigns and making claims that are not and have not been substantiated.

Slimming tablets that are only available via prescription do not suffer from “over advertising” as these kind of products are not available to freely purchase.

Prescription Slimming Tablets

Prescription only slimming tablets are exactly that – via prescription only, to qualify you must be first classified as extremely over weight or obese with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of over 32. Secondly not all GP’s are in favour of prescribing slimming tablets, it is largely dependent on you GP’s stance.

Prescription slimming tablets are chemically based, pharmaceutically produced drugs – this should be taken into consideration if you are lucky (or unlucky) enough to be granted a prescription.

If you do not qualify for a course of prescription tablets it is the over the counter (otc) market for you. Over the counter (or non prescription) basically means products that are free to buy without the need of GP or doctor administration.

Over The Counter Slimming Tablets

Over the counter slimming tablets are not chemically produced and are usually made up of herbal and natural compounds. It is this market (non prescription) that can cause potential consumers the most problems.

Over the counter (herbal or natural) based products do not have to adhere so tightly to strict guidelines  set down by the FDA and MHRA. It is these governmental (FDA for USA and MHRA for UK) departments that control how a product is perceived and produced and also to ensure the product is fit for human consumption.

Many over the counter slimming tablets have have no medical backing, have undergone absolutely no clinical trials and have no certification to back up their weight loss claims.

Ephedrine P57

Categories: Diet Product Reviews    

Ephedrine P57 Review

Ephedrine P57 Hoodia

Ephedra has been an FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) banned substance for quite some time now.

At the time Ephedra was considered a very strong slimming pill – that was not without its fair share of side effects, some minor and some serious.

Since the Ephedra ban, slimming pill companies cannot include the substance within their formula.

This though does not stop some manufacturers from trying cash in the reputation that Ephedra once had. Ephedrine P57 is typical example.

What Is Ephedrine P57

A combination of Ephedra and Hoodia Gordonii – this match up of ingredients is very much a pairing of the good and the bad. Ephedra with its infamous reputation and Hoodia Gordonii with it near unblemished history of success and naturality.

We say near unblemished as Hoodia Gordonii is quite possibly the widest sold and most imitated slimming pill in the world. Hoodia is natural substance found in a cactus that grows in the wilds of South Africa. In its purest form Hoodia is remarkably effective for suppressing appetite.

Hoodia, though can sadly be open to misrepresentation – additives and filler ingredients are often used to enhance a hoodia product – while in practice raw Hoodia powder is all that is required. Read About Hoodia

Side Effects Of Ephedra

  • Nausea, headache and sickness
  • Stomach irritation and diarrhea
  • Psychosis and anxiety
  • Kidney stones
  • Tremors
  • Heart problems
  • High blood pressure
  • Restlessness, insomnia and nervousness
  • Sweating and hot flushes

Some even more serious side effects have been reported.

Should I Consider Buying Ephedrine P57

It is difficult to buy Ephedrine P57 nowadays – although it can be purchased online it is highly recommended that you don’t.

Alternatives To Ephedrine P57

Unique Hoodia – a UK produced genuine Hoodia product that includes 460mg of raw powder in each and every capsule.

Unique Hoodia is CITES Certified and has all the neccessary document to prove its authenticiy.

Size 0 Diet Pill

Size 0 (Zero) Diet Pill

size-zero-diet-pillThe latest celebrity diet pill to hit the high street is the Size 0 Diet Pill. So called as this “miracle diet pill” can, according the manufacturers, enable a dieter to squeeze in to dress size 0 in the quickest possible timescale.

The fact that seems to be overlooked is that the Size 0 Diet Pill is the brand name for Clenbuterol.

If you are considering using the Size Zero Pill to help in your weight loss goal, prepare yourself for a shock? Clenbuterol is medication that was designed for quadrupeds or more specifically horse. Clenbuterol is used to treat horses with breathing difficulties – it is a strong drug that is not without horrendous potential side effects.

Clenbuterol is meant for horses…not humans”

What Does Clenbuterol Do

Clenbuterol can raise the temperature of the body and encourage blood pump faster – perfect for a creature the size of a horse. For a human being approximately a third of the size this is a potentially fatal diet product.

DO NOT BUY OR USE THE SIZE ZERO PILL

Is The Size Zero Pill Effective

size-0-diet-pillConsumer reports have shown that weight loss is inevitable but at what cost. Weight lost attributed to the use of the Size 0 Pill in almost all cases is short term, the weight is put straight back on again after the traces of Clenbuterol have left the system.

So, you could be risking your health or life for something that is not permanent.

Side Effects Caused By The Size 0 Pill

Imagine a drug that increases the heart rate of a large animal – now imagine your heart being subjected to the same kind of medication.

It does not take too much to work out that Clenbuterol can be fatal to humans. Heart attacks, strokes, panic attacks and extreme anxiety can be attributed to using the the Size Zero Diet Pill.

Is The Size 0 Pill Approved

Clenbuterol is approved by the FDA – to treat horses, but not under the brand name The Size Zero Pill to be used in connection with human weight loss.

Should I Use The Clenbuterol

Please do buy or use the Size Zero Pill, No matter how tempting !!!!!

Alli Fat Blocker

Alli Diet Pills Review

Alli weight loss pills

Alli sits in a category of its own – it is a non prescription weight loss pill that has been approved by the FDA (Food And Drugs Administration) which is the US governmental organisation responsible for overseeing and making sure that products are fit for human consumption.

This is quite unique – a commercially available weight loss pill that has been given approval usual reserved only for prescription only drugs.The reason for this is that Alli is a lower strength version of Xenical (Orlistat) - Xenical is FDA approved and so it would follow that a commercially available product that shares the same compound with a prescription only counterpart would be granted the same level of approval.

Xenical And Alli

Xenical is the possibly the prescription weight loss pill of choice for many GP’s and doctors the world over – an effective fat blocker designer to counter obesity. Xenical is not free to buy over the counter and must be administered by a healthcare professional. Read more about Xenical

Xenical is a strong weight loss drug and is not offered to anyone – the seriously overweight or obese are ideal candidates but even those at the higher end of the BMI (Body Mass Index) scale are not certainties.

Alli is sometimes classed as Xenicals little brother – it shares the same methodology as Xenical but using half the dosage.

Alli FDA Approved

Buy Alli UK

Alli Side Effects

When Alli first was released onto the weight loss market, many consumer reports picked up on a side effects that seemed to be experienced by just about everyone who took it.

An orangey gooey liquid, or anal leakage to put it crudely could happen frequently and without apparent warning.

Although unpleasant this is a sure sign that fat is being blocked and not being absorbed back into the body. You can’t have everything.

Does Alli Work

A half strength version of something good sound appealing – but in reality Alli has not really lived up to its promise even with its easy passage into the weight loss arena riding on the back of Xenical’s success and efficacy.

Should I Buy Alli

USA dieters that are prepared for the occasional change of clothing at varying degrees or regularity are recommended to trial. As Alli has its roots very much in America, shipping and customer service may prove problematic.

Alli Summary

It works – but the much vaunted side effect is off putting to many. There are several other weight loss pills that offer the same weight loss results without the side effects.

Where To Buy Alli
