What is Diethylpropion?

When Diethylpropion was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the late 1950s, it was believed that this laboratory made concoction would help stop the obesity epidemic, which was in it’s infancy stages as opposed to the full swing that exists now. However this product was not meant to be used alone, as while using this short term dietary supplement would only be effective if a healthy low calorie diet and exercise were included as well.

So can this product actually help people lose weight? Only being used in the short term, is it even effective, or has all that time spent in the laboratory been for naught? We decided to find out.

What is Benzedrine?

Having existed since the 1800s, Benzedrine is an amphetamine that has been used for a variety of reasons, weight loss being one of them. Benzedrine is known to help curb the appetite of it’s users, as well as being known as a stimulant. There is however, a potential for abuse with this product.

Just because a product can help people lose weight, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s safe for human consumption. In the following article we will break down exactly what this product was, and give you the information you need to make better decisions when looking into diet pills.

What is Policosanol?

Policosanol is a plant wax that can be derived from sugarcane, beeswax and yams. There have been some studies provided by the Cuban government, listing how it is effective in helping lower cholesterol levels, but these studies have not been verified from other independent sources.

It is up for debate as to how effective Policosanol is with helping people with weight loss, as there hasn’t been much mention of it as such. Despite this, in Cuba Policosanol is seen as something of an elixir. So is it really as good as they claim it to be? Or has the effectiveness of this product been slanted by the Cuban government? We decided to find out.

What is Cayenne?

While known to be used for skin and hair care, borage oil has also been getting attention in the diet pill world as an ingredient that can help with weight loss. Borage oil contains gamma linoleic acid, also known as GLA, which is known to help people keep weight off that was once lost.

On the surface, borage oil seems to be a panacea of sorts. Use of this product is claimed to help people lose weight, and also help keep skin and hair healthy as well! So is this substance a bit of an elixir, or is it just overblown to be more effective than it actually is? We decided to do some research and find out.
