Jillian Michaels became famous as the tough trainer in the TV show, "The Biggest Loser." Although she's an avid fan of diet and exercise as a way to lose weight, she also sells weight loss products under her own name. She claims her products are effective on their own, although the website recommends starting an exercise program at the same time you're taking the pills. Always talk to your doctor before taking any supplements, especially if you're also taking a prescription drug.

Jillian Michaels Triple Process Total Body Detox & Cleanse Plus Probiotic Replenishment

According to Jillian Michaels' official website, the detox product helps reduce bloating while getting rid of toxins and improving energy. Although it has a slightly laxative effect, it doesn't contain harsh chemicals, and it offers probiotics, which help balance intestinal flora. The main ingredients include magnesium oxide and a proprietary blend of herbs including ginger, dandelion, Irish moss powder, yarrow, butternut and others. The product also contains an antioxidant fruit blend of berries, grape seed, plum powder and more.

Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Fat Burner

While the fat burner product does not contain caffeine, it contains a number of stimulants that can affect your heart in the same way. People with heart conditions or other medical problems should talk to a doctor before taking this fat burner. The main ingredients include extracts of blood orange, grapefruit, guarana, bitter and sweet orange, kola, white willow and cayenne pepper. It also contains the powerful antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid.

Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Calorie Control

The calorie control product helps you feel less hungry and control cravings, so you eat less and naturally lose weight. The product contains xanthine, a caffeine-like stimulant that can cause side effects in people sensitive to caffeine. Some of these stimulants include yerba mate, coffee bean extract, ginger, guarana, kola nut and damiana leaf extract. The product also contains cocoa, jujube seed extract and Chinese skullcap root extract.

Other Products

Jillian Michaels' website sells a number of starter or jump-start packs. These packs often combine two or more of the products also available individually. For example, the Jillian Michaels Rapid Weight Loss Introductory Starter Pack combines the calorie control and the fat burner products, while the Jillian Michaels JumpStart 14 Day Cleanse & Burn combines the body cleanser and the fat burner.
