What is Anorex _®?

Anorex is a serious, powerful anorectic (weight-loss) agent designed specifically for people who need to lose serious amounts of fat -- 20 pounds or more. If you're significantly overweight (more than 20 lbs. of excess body weight and/or a BMI [body mass index] greater than 30, which you can determine using our Vitalio Body Fat Analyzer), you know that ordinary diet pills are simply insufficient to produce the significant weight loss necessary to overcome your tough weight-loss problem ... you need Anorex. Anorex is not intended for "hobby dieters" or those wishing to lose a few "vanity pounds." Caution: this weight-loss product is not a toy.

Who makes this product?

A company in the U.S. called Klein-Becker. As we state elsewhere in our FAQ section, about half of all products on the Alpha Omega Labs site are made in our own manufacturing facilities. The other half are purchased under contract, at wholesale on the open market, or under other arrangements by third parties. This product falls into the latter and was added after we reviewed the maker's clinical data and anecdotal evidence we had received elsewhere. It's a good product -- it works -- or we wouldn't carry it.

Describe the best candidate for this product?

Any significantly overweight person who is in otherwise good health. Anorex is the ideal weight-loss supplement for the significantly overweight; however, if a customer is currently taking a spirin, ephedra-based supplement, or any other weight-loss compound, he/she should not take Anorex. (See additional warnings on the label.)

Are there any studies and/or patents?

The maker's primary clinical study was conducted at Beht Israel Medical Center, New York. Studies were completed independently of Klein-Becker usa (tm) and its holding company, Basic Research ®. Published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition vol. 16, no. 5, 1997, 501 (#116). Anorex's core formulation is protected by U.S. Patent No. 5,055,460.

What if Anorex gives me "the jitters"?

Although the amount proven effective in the clinical trials is 2 capsules 3 times a day, many peoplewho are sensitive to stimulants have reduced the serving as low as one capsule twice a day and have still seen results. You may want to start with this amount and gradually increase the number of capsules (not exceeding the recommended serving) until you find what works best for your body. If you still find Anorex too powerful, we recommend Anorex-SF ®, also carried by Alpha Omega, which the product's maker advertises (apparently with no raised eyebrows from the U.S. FTC or FDA) as "the most effective stimulant-free fat-loss formulation in the world."

Why is Anorex more expensive than other weight-loss compounds?

Anorex contains a powerful concentration of high-quality ephedra with a large ratio of ephedrine to pseudoephedrine. This is made possible through Klein-Becker's (tm) use of a proprietary extraction of a unique, high-quality plant source. This process guarantees uniformity, consistency, and potency. Anorex utilizes the most concentrated, highest-quality ephedra product available. This high-ratio ephedra is very expensive to produce, and is exclusive to Klein-Becker usa. High-ratio ephedra, caffeine, and acetylsalicylic acid are the active ingredients in Anorex.

This product appears to be made by an American pharmaceutical company -- so why would you carry it?

Natural solutions to health care problems are not the sole domain to those of us who are manufacturers in the alternative health care community. The impetus behind our work, as stated in our welcome page, is the quest for products that are (1) really effective, (2) safe, and (3) cost effective. Although one might argue that this product stretches what are our usual standards on point #3, the fact remains that relative to the options now available to those with serious obesity problems, this product fills the bill. Weight loss is not the focus of our current research efforts at Alpha Omega Laboratories, so for the purposes of constructing a truly meaningful weight-loss program within the confines of our web site, Anorex was judged to meet what we regard as the most important criteria. That it is made by a pharmaceutical company is not important to our end -- or those who could or should be using this product.
