Henny Den UiJl & Bryan Corlett
So, who are Henny Den Uijl and Bryan Corlett?
A little research turns up a lot about these 2. They do a lot of business together and they own a bunch of businesses. For example, it appears that they co-own a company called Decor Research LLC . This company has had or currently manufactures a number of products:
- Cyvita a Dietery Supplement (2008)
- I-PAK Vitmanin and dietery supplement (2007)
- Relactia Anti-Stress Supplement (2007)
- Lumanex Sleep Aid (no longer active)
- Excelerene Dietery Fibre Supplement (2004)
This could be the worst of the worst list of supplement scams! I was trying to figure out the names of these products (>why mce-anchorCyvita? this is what I found. It is an herbal erectile disfunction pill. What are the names of the 2 most popular erectile disfunction drugs? Why Cialis and Livitra… They are running the exact same scam with Cyvita as Lipozene and it gets worse.
Try Relactia….
This is again, the same EXACT scam, same price, same 3o day risk free, same act now and get 2 packs and yes, even same CLINICALLY PROVEN with no clinical proof offered, and that is just the beginning of where this one has gone wrong. Notice the doctor, Dr. Craig Uhl. Well, he is actually the actor,
Craig Michaels, a man who apparently plays Dr. Craig Uhl in numerous television appearances. Apparently only Cyvita and Excelerene are currently on the market, so they haven’t yet committed a crime with their Relactia video. That said, they are setting up a Relactia test website for sales and it was through this website that I found that they also own Appetrol LLC.
Appetrol LLC markets
Appetrol (fittingly enough), another weightloss supplement (I recommend that you don’t go to the website for this one because it has a bunch of pop ups that prevent you from leaving, but if you do risk it, you will see the same claims of clinical research-same definition of clinical study at the bottom of the page, same pricing and same risk free offer. They even offer the same free bottle of MetaboUp).
I wish I was done with who Henny Den Uijl and Bryan Corlett are, or more correctly what they are up to, but the list just goes on. They apparently co-own a company called Market Financing LLC and for the life of me,
I cannot find out what that company does. Another company they own together is Beau Cheveux, which sells a product called
Beau Cheveux’s Nutra Renew, which is an hair treatment product.
The same cookie cutter website, same deal and same price, just $29.95 (which does seem quite cheap when they throw in a hair straightener). According to the website, ‘The scientists at Beau Cheveux discovered rare natural ingredients that penetrate deep into the hair fiber.’ The thing is, Henny and Bryan aren’t scientists and although I am not going to call them liars, I think I would be less surprised to see the Easter Bunny at Beau Cheveux than I would be to see a scientist (especially because I don’t think Beau Cheveux even occupies a physical place in the exclusive sense, rather than the legal entity sense-2032 CORTE DEL MOGAL STE 110). I love how it is Beau Cheveux BEVERLY HILLS as well. They are located in Carlsbad California, a beautiful place to be sure, but not Beverly Hills.
Continuing down this dark rabbit hole, we find that Brian Corlett owns
Pounds Lost LLC (this one may not be in partnership with Henny), yet ANOTHER weight loss dietary supplement! This one though suggests that you could lose 19 pounds and up to 3 and 1/2 inches off your waist! That is a real no-no by the way for the FTC. It is wording like that that will get you charged. Also statements like, ‘Just take pounds lost each day and start losing weight’ really get the FTC upset. I am not going to go into the MASSIVE problems with the pounds lost system, but there is one major difference between it and the others. It offers you one free week, plus free shipping if you buy the first week for only $1.95. Sounds good, but once you go to place the order you get the small print:
You’ll receive a full 2 week supply of Pounds Lost with our Buy 1 week supply for only $1.95 and get an additional week FREE. POUNDS LOST normally SELLS for $4 dollars PER DAILY SUPPLY but if you love your initial results with your 2 WEEK supply– and you’ll want to continue losing weight –you are scheduled to receive a two month supply of Pounds Lost 12 days after your two week supply ships – it will be billed in one monthly payment of $89.99 plus a $9.95 shipping fee billed the day your order is shipped. That’s 60% percent off the retail price. It’s our commitment to helping you reach your weight loss goals.
As you will begin to see shortly with these guys, for some reason $89.99 is a magic billing number.
In addition to pounds lost, there also appears to have been a pounds off nutrition bar (although I get an account suspended message whenever I try to log on now). As well, there does appear to be some
legitimate business in Bryan Corlett’s past as well, although this was ill fated.

FTC Settles Claims with Marketers of FiberThin and Propolene
FOR RELEASE
June 20, 2005
The marketers of the dietary supplements FiberThin and Propolene have settled Federal Trade Commission charges that their misleading weight-loss claims violated federal laws. The principal defendants, located in Encinitas, California, are barred from making false claims about any dietary product in the future and are required to pay $1.5 million in consumer redress.
According to the FTC, the defendants used a television infomercial, short TV spots, and Web sites to market FiberThin and Propolene, two fiber-based dietary supplements they claimed would cause rapid, substantial weight loss without any need to diet or exercise. The supplements were marketed together with two purported metabolism enhancers, Excelerene and MetaboUp. FiberThin and Propolene purportedly contain glucomannan, while MetaboUp and Excelerene purportedly contain green tea, chromium, and bitter orange. The defendants charged $99.80 and $89.95, respectively, for 60-day supplies of FiberThin/MetaboUp and Propolene/Excelerene, and offered a “Take it Off, Keep it Off” automatic shipping program that would send consumers additional supplies for $29.95. The defendants advertised these products through a 30-minute television infomercial that aired on numerous television stations, including The Learning Channel, PAX Family Entertainment Network, Home and Garden TV, and CNBC.
In December 2003, the FTC announced its “Red Flag” campaign to educate members of the media about different types of bogus weight-loss advertising claims. The FTC’s complaint charged that the defendants made “Red Flag” claims in their ads, including that the product would cause rapid, substantial weight loss (more than 2 pounds per week) without the need to diet or exercise; that weight loss would occur no matter what the consumer ate; and that weight loss would occur in all users. The FTC also alleged that the defendants used “expert endorsers” on their infomercial and other TV ads to make “Red Flag” claims.
The FTC’s complaint named FiberThin, LLC and Obesity Research Institute, LLC; their owners, Henny Den Uijl and Bryan Corlett; and the “expert endorsers,” James Ayres and Jonathan M. Kelley, M.D., as defendants.
The stipulated final order permanently bars the defendants from making the challenged “Red Flag” claims and unsubstantiated claims for any weight-loss product, dietary supplement, food, drug, or device, or misrepresenting any scientific study for the purposes of marketing a dietary supplement.
Defendants FiberThin, Obesity Research Institute, Henny Den Uijl, and Bryan Corlett are required to pay $1.5 million in consumer redress; the order contains a $41 million suspended judgment, which will become immediately due if it is found that the defendants misrepresented their financial situation. The order also contains standard recordkeeping provisions to assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants’ compliance.
The Commission vote authorizing staff to file the complaint and proposed stipulated final order was 5-0. The complaint and stipulated final order were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on June 14, 2005. The proposed stipulated final order requires the court’s approval.
NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendant has actually violated the law. The case will be decided by the court.
NOTE: This stipulated final order is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendant of a law violation. A stipulated final order requires approval by the court and has the force of law when signed by the judge.
Copies of the Commission’s complaint and the stipulated final order are available from the FTC’s Web site at
http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC’s Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish (bilingual counselors are available to take complaints), or to get free information on any of 150 consumer topics, call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357), or use the complaint form at
http://www.ftc.gov. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.
