Well, it is time once again for an update to the update on the weight loss pill known as Clinicallix. It has been a couple of months now since we last discussed this product, and since we last touched on it, more information is available. This is always a good thing for the consumer, especially when we are talking about a product that can have serious effects or side effect on your body while you are taking them (or sometimes, even after you have stopped taking them. Anyone remember Phen-Phen? Exactly). Just for a quick recap, when I last posted the jury was still out on Clinicallix because it hadn’t been out on the market for a long enough period of time for people to start giving their results, and this has now changed some. So, let’s look into it a little further.
Back before Christmas, one of our readers emailed me and asked for any additional information that we might have:
Hi, I noticed your review. I would like to know if you’ve collected any additional information on the product as my wife and I would like to try it. We purchased Clinislim from the Clinislim website and got Clinicallix in the mail. From what I can tell they are the same product. I may begin taking this supplement tomorrow and welcome any information you may have.
Unfortunately for him, I didn’t really have anything new to help him with his decision. By the time I got back to him with some relevant information to his curiosity he had tried the product. Here is his response to trying the weight loss pills:
Thanks for the reply! We did go ahead with the order of Clinislim and received Clinicalix instead. I called them about this and they refunded the $$ for the product. After research I found that it looked to be the same product as well, so, we used it. I have to say I usually drink a few cups of coffee a day but for the duration of taking those pills I didn’t want any. I didn’t feel any side effects while using the product either. The first day I did get a noticeable boost about 30 minutes after taking the pills. My wife and I were preparing for a trip to Cancun and didn’t have much to loose other than the pesky belly fat that stays put even when you work hard to get rid of it. We both lost that fat and slimmed up. I had a 6 pack for the first time in my life! I think the product works but agree if you have sensitivity issues to caffeine it’s probably not a good idea. Thanks again!
I really appreciate Jim sending me the results of his experience because it isn’t some information that a sales & marketing team put on a website for the sole purpose of boosting sales. Additionally this isn’t some fake user review that someone posted anonymously to a website selling the product. Jim is a real guy who used the product and had great results. If we get enough of you to send in your experiences with Clinicallix we may start a post with your feedback. I would LOVE to do that. If you think this is a promising idea then use our Contact page to shoot us an email about your experience. It is worth mentioning that most of the comments on this post have been positive in their experiences with it.
Now, on to what Jim was referring to in his response. It appears that one of the main ingredients in this weight loss supplement is caffeine. As most of us are aware, it is a stimulant which can assist with appetite suppression, and in limited doses it has also been shown to increase focus and mental acuity. However, if you have any sensitivity to caffeine this may not be the pill of choice for you.
Not everyone who has had such a positive response to the pill. I’ve started to see more & more negative Clinicallix reviews on the web. They are popping up more and more. That doesn’t really bother me as almost every product will have its fair share of positive and negative reviews. That is to be expected with the different ways each person’s body will react to a given drug or stimuli. The things that concern me about Clinicallix have more to do with business practices. To my knowledge, they have no physical presence listed and only do business online. Their contact information consists of an 800 number and email addresses for customer support. We don’t even have that on this website. All we provide is a contact page, but we aren’t manufacturing a product and claiming that it is safe. Sure, we give you the opportunity to buy Clinicallix if you want to. We have to pay the bills like everyone else. But, at the very least, what we feel sets us apart from others is that we try to give you, our readers, as un-biased information as we possibly can so that you can make an informed decision as to which way you want to lose weight and which weight loss pills you should take, if any. So, you should be aware of the way the company does business, in case, you find that your experience isn’t as phenomenal as others are claiming it is.
I’ll be looking forward to your comments & emails so we can start a post on what YOU have experienced.
It’s been about two weeks since we last discussed the new weight loss pills – Clinicallix, so we felt it was time for an update to see if anything it changed or if there was any new information available. From what we can see bouncing around on the Internet the landscape is still much the same as it was a few weeks ago. Some of the sites that have been using deceptive practices to entice people looking for information about the diet supplement to visit them expressly for a “bait and switch” have started to become more scarce than before. Even though there’s not much new data from the search engines above the popularity of the pill, from the traffic logs we have available to us it would appear there’s been no slowdown in the search for information about it.
As we’ve discussed previously, the reviews from people who claim to have used the product still seem to be very positive. I’ve been able to find very few negative comments. Some of the websites giving Clinicallix reviews have stopped short of giving these weight loss pills their top rating. Although, I would expect this to at least partially be due to the newness of the product. It would appear that it’s riding a wave of positive information from most all sources. Because of this, it makes it very hard to find the line between manufacturer marketing and true effectiveness. Many trusted sources, such as the Mayo Clinic’s website or other medical professional websites, don’t seem to have any information available (at least none we found) to help us sort through and find this line that we’re looking for to give a good picture of information.
Some of the things that we do know about these Clinicallix weight loss pills are that the cost has started to come down on them and that some sites have started to suggest that you may want to cut your dosage in half if you’re losing more than a pound a day. This would lead me to believe I’m not the only one who has a concern about this product if causing too much weight loss too fast. A bottle of Clinicallix should last you about 30 days. We also know that they offer lifetime money back guarantee less shipping and handling, of course. We know the manufacturer claims that there are no side effects, however some sites have started to caution people that if they are allergic to any of the ingredients there is a possibility of an allergic reaction to that ingredient.
We’ll continue to follow the progress of these over the counter weight loss pills to see if we can find where marketing myth and reality meet.
Best Weight Loss Pills – Prescription or Over The Counter?
What are the best weight loss pills? Which pills will give me the best results the fastest? These are the holy grail of us in the “need to lose weight” community. If there was an easy answer then the weight loss industry wouldn’t be a billions of dollars a year industry. The easiest answer you can probably get to these questions would be as follows: the best weight loss pills are those that give ME results. Now I know you are probably calling me names at this point, but there is some real truth to this statement.
Because our bodies and DNA are different we will react differently to medications. What works for me may not work for you and vise versa. For instance, caffeine has no real effect on me. My brother uses caffeine religiously and it works for him. I drink coffee and can go right to sleep. So the important question to really ask is: what are the best ones for ME?
There are two major categories of weight loss pills on the market today. We have “prescription” and “over the counter” as our two categories weight loss pills fall into. Setting aside the dangers and possible side effects that any medication can cause, the basic difference between the categories is that prescription pills have ingredients in them that require medical supervision. The other major difference in the categories is testing and results. Prescription drugs have more testing and analysis required than the over the counter supplements. This doesn’t necessarily make them safe, in fact sometimes it has been the opposite. I’m sure some of you remember the recall on ephedra products which were stacked with (term meaning included in the pill) caffeine. This was a staple in the bodybuilding world for years, and also went through clinical trials before the recall (which I believe, was mainly due to the side effects that women suffered on the ephedra/caffeine stack – not as many women body builders throughout the years).
Over the counter pills are in all reality, even more frightening. The FDA (Federal Drug Administration) reviews the claims of all the supplements on the market. This is the check in the system to keep us safe. The issue is that there are some many new supplements coming out that the FDA is overwhelmed with products to test, and there is really no way for them to keep up even if the staff and budget was tripled. In fact, take a look at the supplements you have in your cabinet, or the next time you are in the store and you will see on the bottles where it says something to the effect of “these claims have not been evaluated by the FDA”. This means, that when the FDA is able to test the claims they may very well find out that it was all made up information. So be aware of this when you put your money out for an over the counter weight loss pill.
Some quick notes:
When a label says “Natural” it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is good for you. Arsenic is also a naturally occurring element and thus would be considered, natural.
In summery, you may have very good results with some of the over the counter products, but be careful or at lest cognizant about the ingredients and how the pills effect you once you start taking them. Prescription weight loss pills also have risk associated with their use, but at least you have some medical supervision wile taking them which should mitigate some of that risk.
