Hi, I’m Henry the Health Hound. My job as the internet’s official Health Watchdog is to review the companies and business practices behind health products sold online and tell you whether they’re bogus or not. Plain and simple.
I first came to life in 2009 on a crusade to rid the internet of it’s worst scammers – the ones who take advantage of people who are suffering from a health condition. My job is to review these companies to determine whether or not they’re a scam, guilty of deceptive marketing practices or demonstrate poor business performance and ethics.
And I also give my two cents on product effectiveness!
When I investigate an online health product, I ask myself the following questions:
Is the product or company an obvious scam?
Is the company guilty of deceptive marketing?
Does the health product live up to it’s claims?
Does the product have any dangerous side effects?
What does the Better Business Bureau say about the company?
What are people saying about the product or company on blogs and forums?
Does the company sell any other “questionable” products?
After my research is complete, I then grade this information to determine whether or not the product and company behind it is worthy of the Health Hound Seal of Approval. This is my personal guarantee and promise that protects you from bogus and potentially dangerous health products online.
Any product I recommend automatically comes with my Health Hound Promise.
The Health Hound Promise is my special double-layered guarantee – which I’ve created to help repair the severe damage that scammers have done to the trustworthiness of health educators.
The first layer:
Any product I recommend through my email newsletter OR my blog has been verified to have…
1) A money-back guarantee this IS honored.
2) Good support from the company.
3) Health or weight loss tips and techniques that WORK.
Important note: The second layer is only valid when your problems CAN’T be solved by the original company.
In other words: You must use up all available support options from the company whose product you bought FIRST.
And since I only recommend products from companies with awesome support, I almost never see someone reach the second layer.
The second layer:
If you get a course I recommend – and develop problems – I’ll personally help you solve those problems.
If your problems can’t be solved (rare), I’ll walk you through
getting a refund from the company. And if that doesn’t work (super rare), I’ll refund your money out of my OWN pocket.
You have protection at EVERY level with this guarantee – the kind of protection that only a loyal hound can provide.
And just so you know and there is no misunderstanding, I do find products that pass my test every once in a while – those are the ones with the Five Stars! I do get a paid a commission on these products to support my bone habit (actually so I can continue work on this site).
It does not affect my judgment because I was not an affiliate for any product when this started, when I find a good product – I then sign up to be an affiliate. There is no way I can prove that to you, but I think if you read really carefully and look at the comments that it is clear that I am on your side.
I was just wondering if the mango fruit from africa diet thing works?
Thank you soooooo much for what you are doing! I was ( this ) close to buying Sensa.. so glad I read your investigation first!
I love carbs, they are my downfall, any suggestions on how to combat the urge to overeat the carbs.?
Benjamin Franklin once commented about over indulgence. He said, “All things in moderation.” Fortunately carbohydrates also fall into that same category as all other food groups.

hi…
i was wondering if you have reviewed a diet pill called Lipo30? I am 22 years old and want to loose a lot of weight because of being so over weight. What diet pill should i be taking to have the most effect of weight lose?
Does anyone have any experience with RealW8 by Asantae? These are weight loss pills made from micro algae and have been getting a lot of attention lately. Did a little research and found that this is also an MLM company.
I too would like to know more about RealW8. I am hearing too many good things and nothing bad. When something seems too good to be true, it makes me wonder.
What do you think of the latest hype, Raspberry Ketone?
My wife and I both have arthritis,can you suggest anything to heip?
Yesterday, I received a mailing for Boston Botanical Calorie Control Crystals that you shake on your food to lose weight. The claim is that this product is non-toxic, therefore, not a drug. I does not cause dizziness, anxiety, reslessness, or other side effects common with drugs. The cost varies with the amount you want to lose….i.e. 1 shaker-to lose 24 lbs.-$59.95…. Up to 4 shakers to lose 96 lbs. – $119.95. Uncertain as to whether I’ll try it or not. Says it’s a money-back guarantee.
I will add it to my list! Thanks!
Do Calorie Control Crystals by Boston Biotanicals really work or not?
We do know that a magic pill does not work, and calorie control crystals are just too good to be true!
Hi Henry,
Are you going to investigate the African Mango Weight Loss claims? And what about Raspberry Ketones? Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I do have a review, right on my site, of the Ketones: https://healthhound.wpengine.com/2012/05/raspberry-ketone/413626.html African Mango is on the list!
