Atro-Phex
Advertised to increase energy and manage weight, Atrophex tells you it is the product of 2 years of product development by BSN. Their bright and attractive packaging adds to claims of multiple and powerful uses, and they boast of an "exclusive ingredient patented for weight loss." Their biggest sales push is that Atrophex combines well with other products they sell. Atrophex introduces itself as "one of the most powerful, innovative, and unique formulas ever introduced into the realm of weight management, energy, and performance enhancement." I can't say they are the only company I've ever heard that from. In fact, almost every company on the market says just about the same thing, but let's see if Atrophex can actually prove it.
The Good:Atrophex provides a trial kit for those not quite ready to jump in head first. It costs $9.99 plus shipping and handling, and may be convenient for worrisome users. In addition, they provide a list of easy things the average user can do to help themselves achieve better results, as well as how to measure those results. They also provide a number of pictures and customer testimonials including an author, fitness expert, consultant, fitness cover model, professional poker player, actor, and other athletes.
The Bad: While it is great to see endorsements from famous or prominent individuals, it draws itself into a small box. Is it possible that Atrophex is only for those types of individuals? The fact that they use one of their own executives as a supposed "testimonial" is suspect to say the least. The Atrophex website does not actually provide a list of ingredients. They provide a list of proprietary blends and what those proprietary blends supposedly do, but nothing to back up the claims. They use a strict 30 day money back guarantee, and most users will not make it through the gates before that time is up. Finally, listed side effects include diarrhea, excessive urination, rashes, headaches, insomnia, and jitters, which leads me to believe they use at least 200-300mg of caffeine.
The SkinnyAtrophex uses proprietary blends to mask whatever ingredients they may or may not actually have. They provide minimal information and grand promises, and they expect you to just have faith in them. But then they provide a minimalist money back guarantee, designed to disallow the majority of customers the opportunity to actually use it. They don't seem dependable or legitimate.
