Diet Rx Contains
Green-Tea-Extract - Studies show green tea extract results in an increase fat
oxidation and in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism). Green tea
contains various antioxidants, including
EGCG. Green tea extract also increases
energy. The benefits come from an interaction between caffeine and EGCG).
Hoodia extract - Hoodia gordonii has a compound called P57 that works directly
in the brain to help reduce appetite. For thousands of years the bushman of the
Kalahari Desert in South Africa have been chewing on
hoodia to stop hunger,
while they were on hunts or journeys, where there was little of no food
available to them.
Glucomannan konjac extract - Glucomannan helps to satiate and provides good
management of blood lipid and carbohydrate status along with providing fiber for
optimal bowel movements.
Ginger root - Ginger has been recognized for its medicinal properties for
thousands of years. Ginger is added to herbal formulas to help relieve nausea
and gastrointestinal side effects. Studies in rodents show ginger is involved in
maintaining healthy levels of blood sugar and cholesterol.
Cinnamon root helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Garcinia Cambogia Citrimax - Hydroxycitric acid is derived from the Malabar
tamarind tropical fruit (Garcinia cambogia) native to India.
Hydroxycitric acid
has been found to inhibit mitochondrial citrate lyase, leading to decreased
acetyl coenzyme A production and decreased fatty acid synthesis.
Bitter melon helps with blood sugar control and increases lipid oxidation, or
fat burning.
Apple Cider vinegar is obtained from the fermentation of apple juice which leads
to acetic acid.
Spirulina is green blue algae that is considered a superfood with a high protein
content. Spirulina has antioxidants,
Apple pectin is a healthy fiber that helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Choline is a nutrient that converts into acetylcholine. Choline increases the
mobilization of fatty acids. Choline is needed for efficient fat metabolism.
Inositol combines with choline to assist in fat metabolism.
Carnitine or L-Carnitine is a main ingredient in many diet pills and
supplements. L-carnitine is found in an enzyme complex (carnitine
acyltransferase I, carnitine translocase, and carnitine acyltransferase II) that
helps transport long-chain fatty acids across into the mitochondria where fatty
acids can be metabolized efficiently.
Pomegranate is full of antioxidants that helps reduce damage to the inner lining
of blood vessels.
Psyllium is a fiber which absorbs water within the gut, causing increased
satiety and lower caloric intake. Psyllium is also helpful in keeping healthy
blood sugar and lipid levels.
Cayenne has capsaicin helps regulate blood sugar levels by affecting the
breakdown of carbohydrates after a meal.
Coleus forskohlii contains forskolin which increases Cyclic AMP thus influencing
membrane transport proteins and increasing fat metabolism..
Fenugreek helps with blood sugar control and reduces insulin resistance.
Guggul can help a sluggish thyroid gland and help the body to burn calories more
efficiently. Guggul also helps manage cholesterol levels.
Inulin is from the chicory plant. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that helps reduce
food absorption but improves mineral absorption, including magnesium and
calcium.
Grapefruit extract - different grapefruit constituents influence intestinal and
liver lipid transport and metabolism.
Banaba extract helps check blood sugar and insulin levels. Fluctuations in blood
sugar and insulin are related to appetite and food cravings, particularly for
carbohydrates.
Alpha lipoic acid is one of the most powerful antioxidants
Acetylcarnitine helps maintain attention and focus so you can think clearer
5-HTP converts into serotonin so you can have more will power and be less
impulsive in your food choices.
Chromium picolinate is a trace mineral that helps reduce sugar cravings and
regulates appetite by stabilizing blood sugar levels.
What Diet Rx does not have
Diet Rx has no added caffeine, ephedra or ephedrine
alkaloids, synephrine,
guarana or stimulating amino acids. Users do not feel
jittery and restless. Rather, many people report feeling more balanced with a
more focused mind. Caffeine has not been
added to Diet Rx although green tea extract has small amounts of natural
caffeine. Caffeine use may lead to anxiety, irritability, nervousness and sleep
disorders for some users. However, most people who like the effects of
caffeine, normally drink a cup or two of coffee a day which provides 100 to 200
mg of caffeine. Those who drink two or more cups of coffee may wish to take one
less capsule of Diet Rx. For instance, if four capsules of Diet Rx normally
works for you, take 3 capsules if you plan to drink 2 or more cups.
Diet Rx testimonials
Q.
I have been taking Diet Rx for one week now. I have noticed that I do not feel
hungry. The biggest difference that I noticed though is no night time snacking.
I never go to bed before 2:00am and usually start my evening snacking around
10:00pm I must clarify that what I call a "snack" other people call a meal. I am
not fond of sweets so therefore my "snack" is something meaty (pork chop,
chicken
breast or steak) or a sandwich or two with all the trimmings. I have not even
thought about having something to eat in the evenings since starting Diet Rx. I
tried a diet pill once before in my life but did not like it because it gave me
an awful nervous feeling and fast heart beat. I don't feel anything like that with this diet
product. In one week I lost three pounds.
Q. I work in an office where they have donuts within easy reach. Ever since I started taking Diet Rx, I noticed that I am not reaching for the donuts. I look at them but they don't seem to hold much interest for me.
Q. My 60 year old secretary comes into work today looking fabulous and says that since she’s been taking Diet Rx she has lost eight lbs in about 2 weeks. She is a real testament because not everything works on her. She says that she hasn’t really been hungry during these two weeks and no urges for sweets either. A year ago her doctor put her on a prescription diet pill and after six months there was no change in her weight.

Diet Rx questions
Q. I have diabetes type two. If I eat less will I need to reduce my
dosage of insulin or blood sugar lowering medicines if I take a pharmaceutical
or natural diet pill that reduces appetite? What about cholesterol medications
and blood pressure medications?
A. Perhaps. If you eat less, there is a good chance your blood
sugar will not rise as much. Therefore, if you are on insulin or taking
prescription medicines or natural supplements that lower blood sugar, you dosage
may need to be adjusted. If you have diabetes, you should consult with your
doctor before taking any diet pills. Your doctor may advise you to start with a
low dose of these pills while you monitor your blood sugar. You may then
gradually increase the dosage of the diet pills while you keep a close eye on
your blood sugar level.
The same may apply to blood pressure and cholesterol. If you eat less, whether
through sheer will power or through the aid of an appetite suppressant, it is
possible that cholesterol levels would not rise as high and blood pressure may
not rise as much. Thus, you need to have your doctor monitor you and guide you.
Q. I need to know how much 5-htp is in one pill of the
Diet-Rx. I already take 50 mg 5-HTP every single night and would like to try the
Diet Rx but don't really want to take any more than 50 mg of 5-HTP a day.
A. Sorry, we can't give that information since it is a proprietary
blend only known to the formulators. The formula is a trade secret. If you do
take Diet Rx, you may either not need to take the 5-htp every night or take half
the amount you normally take.
Q. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and was
wondering if taking Diet Rx would be bad in combination with my Synthroid
medication.. which isn't making me feel better or getting rid of my symptoms, ie.
extreme tiredness, weight gain, headaches, moodiness, etc. etc. but I don't want
to make matters worse either. I am depressed because the weight keeps coming and
Diet Rx product seems to have good ingredients.
A. We have not had any side effects reported to us regarding the
use of Diet Rx with Synthroid. If your doctor approves, you can start with one
capsule a day and then base further dosage changes on your response.
Q. Can you tell me about Diet Rx how it works and can
you take Diet Rx with Cymbalta.
A. Diet Rx has several ingredients that work together to suppress
appetite so you eat less. We have not tested it with Cymbalta, but if your
doctor approves you can start with one capsule a day of Diet Rx. If you need to
increase to two capsules, your doctor may suggest reducing your Cymbalta dosage
by a quarter or half. Each person is different on how they respond to medicines
and herbs and we can just give general information that you can discuss with
your doctor for the best option. Many people report Diet Rx helps with mood
balance and energy.
Q. I am in desperation, I am 5'2" 155lbs, post
menopausal and hypothyroid. My triglycerides have increased despite diet changes
and exercise and triglyceride medication. I was flabbergasted that with meds my
triglycerides increased 70 in 4 months. My doctor wants me to lose weight, I
think I am doing all I know. Will Diet Rx have any interactions with my
triglyceride and thyroid meds? also I take gingko biloba, lecithin,
vitamin E and B complex regularly.
A. We suggest you ask your doctor to read the page on the website
regarding Diet Rx and make a recommendation for you. It would be best, at least
initially, to take Diet Rx without mixing it with other supplements and the
tricylceride medication, and also to start with one capsule a day initially and
then if no problems increase to another capsule before lunch and eventually if
no problems then then both capsules can be taken together before breakfast. Your
doctor would need to make the final decision and monitor you.
Q. Please advise the amounts of each ingredient in Diet
Rx.
A. Diet Rx is a proprietary blend formulated by Dr. Ray Sahelian,
M.D.. Since he is nationally and internationally recognized as an expert formulator, many companies try
to copy his formulas. Therefore, the dosages are in a form of a proprietary blend.
FDA allows companies to make products and not have to list the exact amounts of
the herbs since they recognize that revealing the amounts of a successful
product can lead to other companies making the same exact product or something
quite similar. This is a form of trademark / patent protection. Some individuals
may not buy a supplement since they want to know the exact amounts of the
ingredients. We understand. However, we prefer to lose a few sales rather than
have another company, particularly a big corporation with a large advertising
budget, copy this successful formula and then do a huge marketing campaign. If
this happens Dr. Sahelian would be quite disheartened.
Q. After reading through the ingredients in this Diet Rx
product, I have a question: Have there been any reports of gastrointestinal
discomfort / acid reflux issues in people taking Diet Rx on an empty stomach? I
have acid reflux (I’m currently taking Protonix to manage it), and often have a
reaction to cinnamon and citric acid. Any insight you can provide is
appreciated!
A. The most common side effect with the use of two capsules of Diet
Rx taken at the same time is energy, natural energy that makes you want to take
a walk. Otherwise, no significant gastrointestinal side effects have been
reported to us after 4 months on the market. If you wish, you could take one
capsule of Diet Rx with food your very first time, if no problems then one
capsule on an empty stomach, and proceed further based on your response.
Q. Can one use the Diet Rx diet pill with hypo
thyroid medication such as Armour thyroid?
A. Each person may respond differently, but if your doctor approves
you can start with one capsule with breakfast and then lower or increase the
dosage based on your response. To make the Diet Rx be more potent, you can take
it on an empty stomach before breakfast. To make it less potent, open a capsule
and take 3/4 of the contents. It is difficult to predict how any one person will
respond to what dosage.
Q. I currently take Coumadin due to a mechanical heart
valve. Will Diet Rx interact with Coumadin?
A. This is a good question. We have not had feedback from users of
Diet Rx who take Coumadin or warfarin to see if the addition of Diet Rx alters
INR levels. If your doctor approves, you can take only one capsule a day of Diet
Rx rather than 2 or 3 a day, and after a couple of weeks have a blood test to
see if any changes have occurred. Do let us know so we can inform others
regarding the influence of Diet Rx, if any, on INR in those taking warfarin.
Q. I recently had entire thyroid taken out. Feel great and I am on Synthroid 125 mcg and using a meal replacement once a day. I want to start taking Diet Rx. Is this ok to do? I am getting ready to start training for 1/2 marathon (never have done this before and I am 46). Do you have suggestions?
Q. I have a question regarding Diet Rx product: I am not
trying to lose weight currently and am at an good, healthy weight for me.
However, I have struggled with weight gain, loss and maintenance all my life. I
am 54 years old, eat a whole foods diet, exercise regularly, but I still have to
manage my appetite on a constant basis. It is particularly challenging when we
travel for vacation or socialize. Those times make me feel very stressed,
because I am not in control of the foods that are available, how they are
prepared, etc. I would to love to not feel like I am having to struggle so much
or feel so anxious when I am not the one preparing food. I would like to be able
to just choose food and eat what my body needs. At home, I do fine, but this
struggle and tension take away the joy of vacationing and socializing, and I
often end up feeling tired of "holding back" so much, so I just give in, eat far
too much, and feel physically wrecked the next day. Since I am not trying to
lose weight, do you think your Diet Rx is still something I could use for
vacations and for big social events (like holidays, barbeques, etc) to take down
some of the stress and angst?
A. Diet Rx can be used anytime to help one control their appetite,
it works great for this purpose. Two capsule can help control appetite within
the same day while one capsule a day takes 3 or 4 days to start working.
Q. I am currently taking a 5-htp product, and I love it,
but I was wondering if you could tell me how much of that is in the Diet RX
formula, just so I know if I should take more 5htp along with the Diet Rx.
A. You ask a good question. However Diet Rx is a secret formula and
we can't say. We do advise not taking a 5htp pill the same day as a Diet Rx
pill.
Q. We purchased Diet Rx for my husband. He is an
anesthesiologist with a demanding schedule. Here is our dilemma and question: He
gets up at 5:30am to be able to quickly shower, eat breakfast, and leave home on
time. He only has about 15 minutes between waking up and eating breakfast, and
we can't see getting up earlier than 5:30am. just for him to wait to eat. When
he is at the hospital for work, he rarely gets a break, but he might be able to
manage a quick one to take his Diet Rx. Your directions say to take Diet Rx at
least a half hour before breakfast or lunch. It would help us a ton, if you
could advise us in the other direction----i.e., how long AFTER breakfast or
lunch he should wait to take his Diet Rx?
A. Diet Rx can be taken as soon as he gets up, even if it is 15
minutes before breakfast. Diet Rx can also be taken at least two hours after a
meal. You can experiment to see if one, two, or three capsules works best.
