BEAUTY KLINIC

I’ve reviewed close to 300 different diet pills now and I’m often asked how it is that I can judge the efficacy of a diet pill without actually taking the diet pill myself. The answer is simple: If you want to know if a diet pill will work, just look at its ingredients. Surprisingly, the actual ingredients in the product are usually what gets looked over when most consumers decide on a diet pill. This brief article will help you as you evaluate diet pills to know if the ingredients included are up to par and will be likely to help you lose weight.

When you start to research the ingredients that are in a given diet pill, you′ll want to be sure that you use credible sources. Unfortunately, many diet pills provide information on the ingredients that sounds more like a sales pitch (because it is) than unbiased statements. A such, you should always verify their cliams by researching the ingredients for yourself. PubMed, Wikipedia, and peer-reviewed medical journals are good sources of unbiased information.

One thing to watch out for are citations of studies on the diet pill website that are made to appear to be about the diet pill itself. Often, if you look up the study, it was a study done on an ingredient in the diet pill, but not on the actual product. I like to see as many citations of studies that I can, but they need to clearly explained so the consumer knows what exactly they are looking at. In addition, some companies will explain the results of some study without citing the reference to the study. In most cases this is because they are just making the study up or the study wasn′t quite as favorable as they want to it be.

The importance to research the ingredients yourself is made clear in the popularity of some of the latest fad diet pill ingredients (for example, acai berry and hoodia gordonii). These two ingredients are touted all over the internet as being the next secret to weight loss. And one would easily be convinced after reading all of the hype. The fact of the matter is, however, that these two ingredients aren′t backed by a single legitimate, well documented scientific study. They may have good health benefits, but they won′t help you lose weigt (despite what all the diet companies tell you).

Unfortunately, once you find a diet pill with proven ingredients your work isn′t quite over. Even though a product may have good ingredients, those ingredients must be included in high enough amounts for them to function as well as they did when they were studied in clinical testing. Most diet pills on the market hide the amounts of their ingredients by using ‘Proprietary Blends.’

The reason that verifying the amounts is important is because most ingredients have only been proven to be effective when they are used in high enough dosages. For example, if a certain ingredient was proven effective in the study when used at 1,000 mg per dosage, the diet pill would need to contain the same amount in order to work in the same way. Most diet pills use only a fraction of the recommended dosages and use a proprietary blend so that you don′t know much of the ingredient is actually included. So when possible, look for diet pills that fully disclose the amounts.

Yet another trick that some diet pills use is including an insanely long list of ingredients. Don′t be impressed by such tactics. In most cases (not all, but most) they can′t fit enough of each ingredient in the pill do any good. They’re just trying to add credibility by making you think there’s a lot in the pill.

Some of what you′ve read may seem like common sense. It is. But it’s so often overlooked by consumers that diet pill companies are making a killing by providing sub-par products. When it comes down it, the ingredients are the only things that make a pill effective. So make sure you do your homework to make the right choices when picking diet pills.
