The crowded diet pill market has many products within its genre that do more than just help you lose weight. The NV Rapid Weight Loss and Beauty Pill is just one of a long line of dual-purpose diet pills.

The marketing folks behind the hype have done a smart job of first employing the services of a face and a body, Carmen Electra to be precise. The actress, singer and model doesn’t seem to need much help in the weight loss or beauty department, but it’s easier to market a weight loss pill with evidence of success nonetheless.

The packaging of this diet pill is quite confusing: a bright red box compared to the normal pharmaceutical type packaging. It is more in line with a perfume product than a weight loss one.

Marketing aside, the important question is Does the NV pill work for fast weight loss?

The formula consists of three modules; weight loss, energy compound and a beauty complex. So a three-in-one pill if you want.

The weight loss portion does not seem to contain enough of the active ingredients needed to help with weight loss and diet. The stated 267mg combining Hoodia Gordonii extract, Green Tea extract and Theobromide should be more concentrated, but then how would you incorporate the energizer and beautifier?

The energizing part contains ginseng, adaptogens and rhodeola rosea; when the combined forms have been tried, they can increase energy and mental awareness.

Lastly, the beauty-enhancing complex contains collagen, alpha lipoic acid, and silca with a little Q10 for good measure. A combination of these substances has been in development for years and has been sold as the answer to every woman’s prayer as a way to slow down the effects of time on the skin.

As with most of these dual-purpose (or triple-purpose in this case) weight loss pills, it tries to compete in too many markets instead of just focusing on dieters. Although people in need of a weight loss solution would prefer an added bonus of extra energy and extra beauty, I’m sure the main reason to buy the diet pill is for its weight loss benefits, which this diet pill unfortunately doesn’t. offers.
