Biofirm Danish Detox Plan is just one of the diet product sold in store at Boots and via their official website.

The product is advertised as a plan but in essence it is a supplement that is is based on a herbal formulation successfully used in Denmark for over a decade.

It is a gentle diet product containing herbs which naturally supports the body’s own internal processes of cleansing and detoxing.

How Does Danish Detox Work

The manufacturers (New Nordic) have produced through research and development a unique form of Pectin.

Pectin is a vital ingredient that ensures that there is a good supply of nutrients transported to the skin and helps to reduce the waste and fluid stored between the cells in the tissues.

Cellulite reduction also occurs and at the same time strengthens the connective tissue.

It is recommended that 2 tablets taken three times a day with water is the preferred dosage so that the BioFirm formula cleanses the body, firms the skin and tones the system.

Steps To Take While On A Detox Diet

• Cut down or eliminate alcohol, caffeine, white bread, confectionery, sugar, red meat and some fatty foods.
• Eat more whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Introduce a basic exercise routine to stimulate circulation, respiration and the movement of toxins out of your body.

To remain at peak condition and to maintain healthy firm body and beautiful skin we should detox at least twice a year.

Thyromine is a diet supplement aimed at the non prescription or over the counter market. It is very much a US focused product.

Thyromine is a natural and  herbal tablet designed to help people who suffer from an under active thyroid gland, or hypothyroidism as it is officially known.

The official website is not that great and does not go into any great depth or detail as to how it works and what the implications are in terms of your diet ambition.

Thyromine And Thyroid Explained

The thyroid makes vital hormones to maintain normal and healthy body functions. The importance of the thyroid should not be underestimated.

The thyroid gland sometimes cannot produce sufficient hormones this good lead to whole host of health implications not just weight issues.

The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism, the fast the body’s metabolism the quicker excess body fat can be expelled.

How Does Thyromine Work

L-Tyrosine is one of the main ingredients contained in the formula – it is one of the twenty amino acids responsible for synthesizing proteins, helping the body to absorb more of the proteins consumed and subsequently allowing you to eat less protein in order to receive the body’s necessary daily protein requirement.

Side Effects of Thyromine

Should not pose any side effects if taken as suggested.

Is Thyromine Recommended, Does It Work

A good all round health supplement that is not really aimed primarily at weight loss.

Consumer feedback or rather lack of it doesn’t add to its reputation.

Alternative Diet Products

Acai is becoming incredibly popular on both sides of the Atlantic not only for its benefits to weight loss – but as an all round health supplement.

Apple Cider Vinegar is considered an essential substance than can help maintain several bodily functions.

Apple Cider Vinegar is not targeted especially toward weight loss or diet but can be used in conjunction with other specific slimming products.

Latest clinical study and research has suggested that pectin, one of the main ingredients in Apple Cider Vinegar, is an amazing nutrient which can actually help maintain cholesterol levels.

Apple Cider Vinegar What Is It

Cider vinegar is derived from the fermented juices of crushed apples.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) contains a high percentage of acetic acid and citric acid. It has also a high concentration of vitamins B1, B2 and B6, biotin, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid and vitamin C.

As mentioned above – it also contains Pectin.

Apple Cider Vinegar Health Benefits

• Diabetes – Several clinical studies indicate that vinegar  may help to lower glucose levels.
• Healthy Heart – Studies have also suggested that apple cider vinegar may help a healthy cardiovascular system by promoting levels of nitric oxide, a compound in the body that relaxes blood vessels. It might also inhibit an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme from producing angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict or narrow.
• Apple cider vinegar is now regurly used as a “fat-burner” and as a natural appetite suppressant.

Where To Buy Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets

Commonly sold over the counter in most health food stores (Boots, Holland & Barrett etc)

Also available to buy from reputable online stockists

Bioforce Slim Drops is a natural and herbal remedy to aid weight reduction.

It is a liquid contained in bottled and added to water and drunk once a day before a meal.

Its main aim is the reduce appetite and stop cravings for sugary foods.

The main ingredient is extract from organically grown fresh Jerusalem Artichoke

Jerusalem Artichoke has the capacity to work on the metabolism by producing energy and a feeling of being satiated, without increasing glycerin levels.

How Does Bioforce Helix Slim Work

Keeping blood sugar levels under control is is essential of optimum health and well being

Eating at varied times of the day without a proper digestion period, prevents food from being digested properly.

Calories are taken on but not all nutrients are sufficiently absorbed, leading to increase hunger and appetite.

Similarly, eating processed or denatured foods may feel like they’ve satisfied you at the time but have poor nutritional value.

This means you end up snacking, to keep yourself going in between meals. Eating erratically can make your blood sugar swing from high to low.

This causes sugar cravings as your body tries to compensate. Keeping your blood sugar levels under control can help to minimise sugar cravings.

Who Should Not Use Helix Slim

Pregnant or nursing mothers should refrain from using.

Where To Buy

Available at most health food stores and some high street chemists.

It wont break the bank at under £10 per bottle

Also available online via registered and authorised UK pharmacies such as Express Chemist

Is Helix Slim Worth Using

The Jerusalem Artichoke does have appetite suppressing qualities but is not in the same league as another natural substance - Hoodia Gordonii

Recently we reviewed a diet pill with quite possibly the most appealing sounding name – The Chocolate Banana Diet Pill.

Now it is the turn for possibly the least appealing – the Cabbage Soup Diet Pill that is based on the popular if rather socially embarrassing Cabbage Soup Diet.

The Cabbage Soup Diet  involves consuming large quantities of the eponymous food (Cabbage), and very little else.

This  diet causes weight loss only by reducing your daily calorie intake almost to starvation level. Nutritional experts advise that the Cabbage Soup diet should not be followed for more than a week.

So it is very much a short term weight loss solution. But what of the pill form of the diet?

What Are Cabbage Soup Diet Tablets

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans, the cabbage soup diet pill contains the basic ingredients: green peppers, onions, celery, carrots, courgette, tomato and of course cabbage.

Other ingredients present are naturally occuring flavenoids such as: carotenoids, polyacetylenes, sulforaphanes, lycopene and indole 3 carbinole.

Any Side Effects

The Cabbage Soup diet pills will not pose a risk to health apart from the obvious flatulence problem that may occur by introducing the likes of cabbage in great quantities to your diet.

Do They Work

Short answer is not really, the even shorter answer would  be no.

It is interesting to note that Holland and Barret used to stock a product called the 7 Day Souper Cabbage Diet Tablet – but do not anymore!!!
