Over-Priced Diet Pills
Would You Pay $153.00 for a $5.00 Diet Pill?
The 3 Worst Over Priced Diet Pills that You Must Avoid:
The GOOD news about these products is that they are above average diet pills that will help you lose an additional 2-3 pounds weight PER MONTH above and beyond what just regular diet and exercise can help you with.
The BAD news is that there is other products on the market that can help you lose 4-7 of fat PER WEEK above and beyond diet and exercise can achieve… And they DON’Thave 3,090% Markups.
If you read my about me page you know that my job for 12 years was to research the latest scientific journals for clinically proven weight loss ingredients, formulate diet pills, and find manufacturers who can make them at the lowest prices. So I what I did here is reverse-engineer hundreds of diet pills and here is the top 3 MOST OVERPRICED that you should avoid at all costs:
| Product | #1 Leptoprin SD | #2 Lipo-6 | #3 Hydroxycut Hardcore |
|---|---|---|---|

 |
| Markup | 3,090% Markup | 1,817% Markup | 1,333% Markup |
| Actual Cost | $4.95 | $2.75 | $4.50 |
| Asking Price | $153.00 | $49.99 | $59.99 |
#3: HydroxyCut Hardcore
Summary: Hydroxycut Hardcore is marketed by Iovate Health Sciences. It is geared primarily towards bodybuilders. It was one of the best selling diet pills on the market until it was banned by the FDA for possibly containing tainted ingredients that lead to kidney failure and eventually death.
MSRP: $59.99 (for a 120 capsule bottle)
Actual Manufacturing Cost: $4.50
Markup: 1,333%
#2: Lipo-6
MSRP: $49.99
Summary: Lipo-6 is marketed by a company called Nutrex and is also geared towards bodybuilders. Nutrex is known for making innovative and high quality ingredients. Lipo-6 is both innovative and high quality. It just happens to have an incredibly high markup and for this reason is a poor value.
Actual Manufacturing Cost: $2.75
Markup: 1,817%
#1: Leptoprin-SD
MSRP: $153.00
Summary: A.G. Waterhouse a subsidiary of Basic Research markets Leptoprin. Basic Research is well known in the health industry for developing groundbreaking products. Leptoprin is one of their least groundbreaking formulas. Their marketing tactic for Leptoprin seems to be: Make a prescription looking product, charge and arm and a leg, and people will believe that since it costs so much it must work. And it does work very well. The only problem is that Leptoprin is a horrible value. The old saying “you get what you pay for” is not true in the case of Leptoprin.
Actual Manufacturing Cost: $4.95
Markup: 3,090%
I need to reiterate that these are not bad products. All 3 of them work well. But this is price gouging. I’m all for companies making profits because they need to support their families, grow their businesses, and develop new novel ingredients. But this is excessive and needs to stop. Hopefully an industry insider speaking up about it will put an end to it.
