With its self-proclaimed special blend of all-natural ingredients, Detoxatrim claims to be a scientific approach to weight loss that will cleanse your body and “jump-start your fat-burning furnace.” And while I like the fact that Detoxatrim doesn’t promise to be a quick-fix solution to weight loss, I’m disappointed in their trumped-up scientific claims that lack any scientific evidence to back them up.

Ingredients

• Chromium-This ingredient helps your body regulate blood sugar.
• Lactobacillus Acidophilus-A healthy bacteria that may help improve gastrointestinal function.
• Bifidobacterium Bifidum-Bacteria that may help aid in digestion.
• Fructooligosaccharides-Also known as oligofructose or oligofructan, this ingredient is most commonly used as a sweetener.
• Caprylic Acid-Also known as octanoic acid, caprylic acid is known to stimulate hunger in the hypothalamus.
• Glutamine-Combined with regular exercise, glutamine may help increase lean muscle mass.
• Glucomannan-A dietary fiber than can help decrease appetite.
• Hoodia Gordonii-A fad ingredient that used to be used for indigestion.
• Papaya Fruit-Is sometimes used to reduce gas and treat stomach upset.
• Uva Ursi-A small shrub traditionally used as a diuretic.
• Green Tea Leaf-A common stimulant known for its ability to burn fat.
• Apple Cider Vinegar-An ingredient that may affect blood glucose levels.
• Grapefruit Extract-An ingredient said to raise pH levels in the body.

While some ingredients found in Detoxatrim–such as green tea leaf and glucomannan–have been shown to have positive weight-loss effects, most of these supposedly “proprietary” ingredients have no science to back up Detoxatrim’s claims and are mostly based on myth or hearsay. We are especially wary of any product containing hoodia, as this ingredient is just another name on the long list of fad diet pill ingredients that does not work.

Detoxatrim’s Marketing

The Detoxatrim marketers actually market their diet pill along with what they call the Detoxatrim 24 Hour Liquid Fast Flush. For 24 hours, users are only supposed to drink the Liquid Fast Flush and then follow this “detoxification” process with the Detoxatrim Daily Capsules. And while the marketers claim that the Detoxatrim formula and process is backed up by mounds of scientific research, there are no references to any specific research studies or any real proof that backs up their claims. They also claim that 70 percent of the weight gain that affects women is due to the buildup of toxins in the body. But again, where’s the proof?

Detoxatrim Price

A bottle of Detoxatrim Daily Capsules costs $29.99 plus $7.95 for shipping and handling. You can also purchase a Fast Flush Kit for $44.98. These prices are pretty reasonable, but if you aren’t going to see any weight-loss results, why spend your money, right?

Detoxatrim Guarantee

The Detoxatrim website offers no guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the product. A good diet pill will offer at least a 60-day guarantee, or better yet, a lifetime guarantee.

Conclusion

If you participate in the Detoxatrim 24 Hour Liquid Fast Flush (meaning you don’t eat for 24 hours) you will probably lose some weight. But aside from that well-known fact, there is nothing to make us believe that Detoxatrim’s scientific claims are anything but more marketing jargon.  We suggest you look for a diet pill with proven ingredients in fully disclosed amounts.  See our recommended list for some ideas.
