Xylacor Review

The Xylacor diet pill is touted as the “Ephedra Diet and Energy” pill. It seems odd to me that a company would still try to market a product based on an ingredient that has been shown to have adverse effects.

Ingredients

• Chromium 200 mcg
• Ma Huang Extract 167 mg

Proprietary Herbal Blend 325 mg

• Guarana
• White Willow Bark
• Ginseng
• Astragalus Root
• Bee Pollen
• Bladderwrack Kelp
• Ginger Root
• Gotu Cola Leaf
• Licorice Root
• Rehmannia Root
• Reishi Root

Chromium-Does chromium have an important role in blood sugar regulation? Yes. Has that been proven to directly aid in weight loss? Not yet. While I wouldn’t frown upon a diet pill that contained chromium, I wouldn’t buy it if it was the only active ingredient. The bad thing about Xylacor is that chromium is a main ingredient.

Ma Huang Extract-This ingredient is make the same what that instant coffee is made and has about the same concentration as instant coffee. The ma huang herb is basically the same thing as ephedra, which was banned by the FDA.

Guarana-A common stimulant that will give you energy and may boost your metabolism.

Ginseng-Commonly used for lowering blood sugar levels, improving the immune system, and enhancing physical and mental performance.

Ginger-Believed to help with nausea, arthritis, and heart disease. Asian cultures have also used it for years to help with digestion.

Useless ingredients

According to this company, “Xylacor contains the maximum strength dosage of ma huang (ephedrine group alkaloids) allowable in a dietary supplement.” But this really means nothing because there is no research to back up ma huang’s claims as an effective diet pill ingredient. What I am worried about is that this ingredient could cause adverse effects, similar to ephedra. Just like there isn’t sufficient research to show that this ingredient is effective, there is also no research that proves it is safe. Aside from this, all of these other ingredients are harmless, but are also practically useless. Oh, and on the actual label of this product, “proprietary” is spelled wrong. That’s pretty amateur if you ask me.

Xylacor’s Marketing

There is practically no information on the Xylacor. The marketers try to put a different spin on their lack of information by stating this on the About Us page:

“We are not like other Internet companys [sic], we offer a personal touch and will handle all of your questions, concerns and needs in that manner. We dont [sic] hide behind a web site and make it difficult if not impossible to speak with a human. We sell quality products and a great price. If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact us.”

Now (besides the obvious spelling and punctuations errors) all this says to me is that they are trying to seem holier-than-thou and use it as a cover for their lack of research and information. They try to act like they are better than other diet pill companies, when in reality they are actually worse. They are still trying to sell you a product on their website but are giving you basically no information about the product they want you to buy. If you ask me, this is some of the laziest marketing I have ever come across. And don’t even get me started on all of the spelling and punctuation errors…

Xylacor Price

One bottle of Xylacor is $49.95. That’s a steep price for a product from a company that couldn’t care less about providing you with useful information.

Xylacor Guarantee

Xylacor does not come with a guarantee. Surprise, surprise.

Conclusion

I found the attitude of this company to be almost insulting. It seems to me like they could hardly even stand to bring themselves down to my level and try to explain what their diet pill is about. All this, plus that fact that their diet pill has useless ingredient, is expensive, and has no guarantee, and I have no reservations for giving Xylacor a huge thumbs down.
