Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are both positives and negatives to the product. First, I took these for a few days right before Iworked out in the evening and did get an energy boost. I actually used them the night after to keep me awake a bit later on purpose.
I research any item greatly before taking it long-term, however so I did get some learning in on this one.
First, it should be said that no dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA.I think many already know this. It is said it will be in the future, but for now anything like a vitamin or that is classified as a dietary supplement can make claims from weight loss to male "increases". This is a dietary supplement...
So I went to the website to learn more about the ingredients.
First, the energy burst that I did enjoy in a pill was from a great deal of caffeine...290mg. That is equal to three "stay awake" pills such as No-Doz and equal to more than 3 whole cups of coffee. Still, I am not one to avoid caffeine and sometimes like that boost so I have no strong opinion on that but others who do should know that going in. If you want a natural energy boost, try something with quercetin. This isn't it.
As for the weight loss, the website by this manufacturer said that the study conducted by them showed weight loss. BUT...Far underneath that it said that this weight loss occurred "...when used in conjunction with increased exercise and a reduced calorie diet." Read that sentence again. Ummm, usage of my toe nail clippers would also show weight loss results if I worked out more and ate less when using them. So that was an eye opener and I felt a bit duped, though not entirely surprised.
But it gets better.
Also on this product website, I guess just to be safe of all legalities for anyone surprised that they don't lose weight from it, it also says in small print if you keep reading:
"Do not use for weight reduction".
Seriously.
So, that said, if you aren't looking to lose weight from this, but do sometimes need to stay awake longer without feeling like downing tons of coffee...look, it has it's place. Let's say you go out with friends and you are an early bird and the night is running long...you may not be able to grab some coffee, but you might make it home more easily with a few in your purse. I'll give it that.
However, it does HINT at claiims to burn fat...but when you read the fine print after all the marketing, it says that part you can only do on your own by increasing calorie burning and decreasing caloric intake...
...But in all honesty, haven't we always known that?
UPDATE: But, if you need further scientific proof, the amount of herbs etc in here is negligible to do anything aside from the caffeine but still...I guineapigged it just to see what happened for the last month. Why not be totally sure? Out of curiosity, I put it to the test. I own a bodybugg (the armband devices on The Biggest Loser)which measures my EXACT caloric expenditure every day. I also recorded my exact caloric intake. I took these pills to see any boost from my normal metabolism and caloric burn. (I'm able to chart it on a computer.) Unfortunately, there was no increase in caloric burn or weight loss. I've recorded my normal caloric expenditure and intake for over a year now since I bought the bugg, so it's easy for me to gauge an increase, and it did remain stable.
That said, if I want to have 6 cups of coffee in 1 second I can take 2 pills and stay up a few extra hours. Do that enough and you will burn a few more calories...but is that healthy to do? Only you can decide.
