Have you ever wasted your money on diet pills, only to find they didn’t work?  Nothing can be more frustrating than shelling out good money for worthless products.   When you are looking to lose weight quickly, there are several things to consider before purchasing weight loss products so you aren’t throwing away more of your hard earned money.

1. Consider your source. Purchasing weight loss products from a reputable company or a well known brand with a good reputation can keep you from getting ripped off.  Without the strict regulation of supplements, shady companies may try and sell a product that may not be the full strength they claim it to be.   You also do not know of the cleanliness or safety of their operation.  A company who has been in business for a long time cares more about upholding their brand and will take extra precautions to make sure you get exactly what they claim you are getting.
2. Has the product been shown to deliver good results? When paying money for a weight loss product, you want to lose weight and to do it quickly!  Talk to people who have taken the product you are considering, visit online forums and discussion boards, or ask the company to provide you with access to their clinical trials.
3. Consider finally if the diet pills contain three components. The best pills for losing weight are going to assist you in reducing your appetite, they will increase your fat burning, and they will help you build lean muscle.  In the long run, it’s ideal to find a product that can do all three, rather than dishing out money for three different supplements.

There are several products that fit the criteria discussed.  One is a product called Apidexin.  Apidexin is manufactured by a reputable company. There are clinical trials that are available to read that show while on a supplement with their specific ingredients, showed patients noticing significant fat loss, while maintaining lean body mass.

Another weight loss pill that is a top seller and also fits the criteria of being safe and effective is Phenphedrine.  This powerful weight loss supplement is not for the casual dieter.  This contains powerful ingredients that have shown quick weight loss in those who have tried it.  The combination of these ingredients work to increase your metabolism, reduce appetite, and assist in delivering your glucose to your muscles, rather than your fat.  Phenphedrine is also made by a well established company who is not going to ruin their reputation by sending shoddy products.

As soon as you find yourself at the end of your rope and you need a little extra help to lose that weight, consider some help from a weight loss pill.  But don’t waste your money, do your homework!  Find out that the pills are made by a reputable company. Look up the research that backs up their claims, and make sure those pills contain the three components of quick yet permanent weight loss.  Apidexin and Phenphedrine are good places to start.

There is nothing more motivating in weight loss than seeing progress.  If you begin on a new diet or exercise program, it is difficult to stick with it if results are slow.  Losing 2 lbs per month would be difficult even for the most determined individual.  However a program that helps you drop several pounds the first week is extremely encouraging and a person will often continue with that.

The first, most surefire way to jump start weight loss and keep a person motivated to stick to it is by supplementing your program with a safe and effective weight loss product.  A product such as Apidexin has helped people lose 4-7 pounds the very first week.  With these kind of results, it’s easier to adhere to a boring diet or an intense exercise program.

A second way to jump start weight loss is to find out where your current dietary intake lies, and cutting back.  Keeping a food journal for three or more days will give you good insight into your average caloric intake.  Once you are able to assess where you are, you can see where to cut back.   Slashing 500 calories per day for 7 days equals a 3500 calorie deficit.  This is the range most experts claim is necessary to lose 1 lb of fat.  Begin to make substitutions from your food journal to cut back by 500 calories.  Can you replace butter with a no calorie butter spray?  Can you eliminate the afternoon vending machine trip?  Can you substitute your morning muffin for a slice of whole wheat toast?  Eliminate the evening cocktails?  These small changes can add up to 500 calories very quickly.

The third way to jump start weight loss is by increasing the intensity, duration, and frequency of your workouts.  If you generally meet the neighbors for a 30 minute morning walk, increase that to 60 minutes.  If you generally hit the gym 3 times per week, aim for 4-5 times per week instead.

A fourth way to jump start weight loss is to change the routine of your exercise.   Our bodies are amazing at adapting to certain activities.   After 5 years of walking the same route at the same pace, you literally will burn less calories doing that activity.  Your body has figured out how to do it most efficiently.  Changing your exercise with activities you are not accustomed to is a great way to kick things off in a different, more fat burning direction.

Lastly, drink lots of water.  Eliminating any water retention or bloating will not only help you lose pounds more quickly, but also help you to look leaner immediately!   Traditionally we’ve been taught to drink 64 oz or more of water per day.  The buzz is changing as researchers are finding out how different people, climates, and activities are.  The new rule of thumb is the pee test.  If your urine is light yellow, like lemonade, you are adequately hydrated.  If it’s more like apple cider, you need to drink more water.

Using these tips to jump start your weight loss will pay big dividends in the end.  Using a weight loss pill, such as Apidexin or Phenphedrine is a great way to get started.

While most people don’t know all the details of the HCG diet, there is at least one thing most people know.  A person on the HCG diet is only allowed 500 k/cal per day to eat.  While I’ve personally known many people who have lost weight on this diet, I have always wondered how many of them lost weight because they were only eating 500 k/cal per day, or was it something special in the HCG.

HCG ((Human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy that mobilizes fat stores to be used for the health of your growing baby. The premise of the HCG diet is using this hormone to mobilize fat, combined with a Very Low Calorie diet, weight loss should be effortless.  While the ideas sounds like it would work, considering the extreme effort our bodies go through to maintain a balance of hormones, it might not work exactly like the scientists who developed this diet had planned.  When there is excess of hormones, there is usually a secondary  pathway that balances things out.

While I’m sure the HCG camp has their own studies with good results and very few side effects, there are other studies that are actually showing the opposite.  These opposing studies are showing people are losing the same weight on a placebo, yet following the same 500 k/cal diet.  In addition, some people have reported severe side effects associated with taking the HCG hormone and the low calorie diet.

The side effects most often reported are headaches, acne, fluid retention, lethargy, irritability, crankiness (because they are super hungry!) blood clots, dizziness, confusion, Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome, stomach pain, and more!

More serious side effects are also possible associated with consuming only 500 k/cal per day.  These include slowing of the metabolism, an imbalance of electrolytes and minerals, nutrient deficiencies, depression, osteoporosis, breakdown of glucose from other sources such as your brain and other vital organs, anemia, or irregular heart beat.

Besides the physical and emotional side effects from taking the hormone, there is also danger in the current regulations.  The HCG diet and injections have not been approved by the FDA.  You are taking a risk every time you go into a clinic that administers the shots.  Now,  because HCG is also available in drops online, there is a risk that you are not getting what you pay for.  Your drops may be diluted, tampered, or modified without any way for you to know.

To add insult to an already sketchy program, it is recommended while in the HCG diet to not exercise.  HCG dieters certainly begin to not only lose fat, but they are also losing muscle.  Without the assistance of exercise, the temporary weight loss will not last.

The bottom line is although our bodies do produce this hormone naturally and on its own, there are controls that occur within our bodies to produce the right amount.  When you artificially increase the amount, or mess around with the balance, disease and illness is possible. Combine this with all the consequences of a very low calorie diet, and the results can be dangerous.

There comes a point where you want to take your image to a new level.  The first level may be you just want to look good.  Once you feel comfortable in a trendy pair of jeans, you decide to take things to the next level, and look great in a bathing suit.  Once you’ve achieved this, the crowning glory, the step where you know you have arrived, is to look good naked!

This culminating step happens when you begin losing those last few pounds.  Those pounds that take your abs from fleshy to 6 pack.  Carving your new body into a masterpiece becomes your central priority for a short time.

So, how do you take off those last few pounds so when the clothes comes off, you will feel confident enough to keep the lights on?  This part takes being meticulous with your diet and intense with your exercise.

Where your diet is concerned, you want the least calories for your nutrient buck.  There are no room for empty calories if you want to look good naked.  High fiber fruits and vegetables that will fill you up, without adding more calories than you need is the perfect place to start. To calculate the number of calories you should be consuming to lose weight, the quickest and most simple method is to take your weight times 11 if you are sedentary or 12 if you are active.  This will give you an average goal for total calories you should consume in a day.  This is a difficult step considering many people are still hungry at the end of the day while they are dieting.   A safe appetite suppressant can do wonders to help you maintain this lower caloric level, while not feeling famished.

Exercise intensity will be crucial to carving out the muscles you want to show off.  Combining interval training with strength training has been shown to burn the most fat, while building lean muscle and is perfect for weight loss.   In addition to exercise, there are supplements that can help in this area.   A supplement that contains a fat burner, such as Apidexin, as well as assists in building lean muscle can make the difference between someone who is considered ‘cut’ and someone who is not as well defined.  The extra calorie burn you achieve from a fat burner won’t take the place of hard work, but can assist you to take your training to the level where you want to look hot.

All your hard work can be sabotaged for the big reveal if you are eating or doing things that will cause extra bloating.  Large meals, high salt intake, or various foods you may be sensitive to can all cause bloating.  Drink lots of water and avoid these to prevent that last minute feeling.

Now that you aren’t bloated, you’ve lost those last few pounds, and your muscle tone is chiseled, you can put on the final touches.  Exfoliate! For truly shiny and gorgeous skin, use a loofah or exfoliating scrub in a steamy shower. After you’ve exfoliated, use a natural lotion or cream to keep your skin soft and smooth. Having envious biceps will go unnoticed if people can’t stop looking at your scaly skin.

Now you are ready to slip into ‘something more comfortable’ and you finally won’t be embarrassed when it comes off.

While most people looking to lose weight would love to lose it quickly, they are also smart enough to know they also want it to be safe.  For years we’ve been taught the only effective weight loss is 1-2 lbs per week.  However, with the popularity of reality shows such as the Biggest Loser, people are reconsidering what is not only possible, but what also can be safe.  We are coming to accept the fact that  people are able to lose more weight, and do it quicker, without the negative side effects, if the weight loss is conducted properly.   There are several ways to know if the program or method you choose to lose weight would be considered safe.

An unsafe method for quick weight loss is severely reducing your calories. When calories are slashed drastically, a person will lose muscle mass, which in turn lowers your metabolism.  This has an adverse affect on all things from hair loss to organs shutting down.   This is dangerous to the person in both the short and long term.  It will also be more difficult to maintain a weight loss once metabolism is slowed.

In addition to slowing your metabolism, severe calorie restrictions make it difficult to get adequate nutrients for proper functioning.  Without adequate calories, nutrient deficiencies begin to emerge.  Water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C can only be stored for short term, and must be replaced in the diet daily.

It is possible to lose weight quickly and safely by keeping a few things in mind.  The first thing to counteract the problems typically associated with quick weight loss is maintain your lean muscle in order for metabolism to stay revved up.  This can be achieved through exercise like strength training, fueling your body with lean proteins, or taking weight loss products that promote muscle growth and maintenance.  Keeping your muscle mass will also be the key to burning fat.  Muscle is more metabolically active.  A person generally burns 6 calories for every pound of muscles as opposed to 2 calories for every pound of fat.

Getting proper nutrients can be achieved by eating enough calories to be fed, while still creating a calorie deficit to lose weight.  This can be a fine line.  Monitoring your calorie intake by keeping a food journal is the best way to know that you are eating enough calories during the day.   Taking a multi vitamin or supplement may also be helpful to counteract any deficiencies that may arise through temporary calorie restriction.  Eating less is the most difficult part of losing weight.  Supplements can help two ways here. One possibility is to maintain your current caloric consumption, and enjoy the increased calorie burn provided by a supplement.  Or it can assist with lowering your calories adequately if it contains a natural appetite suppressant.

There are some warning signs to consider when losing weight to know whether you are staying safe.  If your menstrual cycle ceases, you begin to lose hair, you are sick often, or you become lethargic and moody, you should see your health care provider.  If you feel great, you’re eating well and exercising, and you are losing weight as well, keep it up!

NxLabs Methyl Ripped Adrenaline is based on the simple premise that adrenaline can help you lose weight, and if those feelings can be extenuated then the calories burned in the process will be greater. In theory, increased adrenaline  “improves reaction time, increases athletic performance and…helps you get ripped” – or so says NxLabs. I have a hard time believing that you can actually synthetically produce adrenaline and channel it specifically into weight loss. That seems like an awfully big pill to swallow.

I mean there’s a reason the body doesn’t produce adrenaline all the time. The effects of having your body constantly amped on adrenaline could be damaging to your overall health. No amount of weight loss is worth that risk? Besides isn’t that why you’re losing the weight – to reduce health risks?

Putting the obvious risks aside, I really don’t see anything in the pill that stimulates adrenaline production, which is somewhat puzzling considering the name suggests that it can boost this natural phenomenon in my body. From what I see, their formula is based on caffeine to boost metabolism – which is not bad but won’t produce the spike in adrenaline.

What’s inside NxLabs Methyl Ripped Adrenaline?

There’s not a ton of ingredients in the pill, relatively speaking, which we actually like; you can dilute a product if you put too much into it. But formula does include both caffeine anhydrous and green tea which both play into the caffeine boost we’ve been talking about.

The amounts of these ingredients will increase your metabolism, energy, heart rate and anxiety level – which can give you a stomachache and the jitters.  So keep that in mind. Some people really like those jitters/nervousness when they’re working out, count me as one of the people who don’t.

NxLabs also included White Willow Bark, which really does little to promote weight loss.  But the extract contains salicin, which the body converts to salicylic acid and has the same effect on the body as aspirin. This helps the dieter to feel better, and if a dieter feels good, he or she is more likely to be more committed to losing weight. I know, that’s a reach, but that’s the honest-to-goodness truth behind White Willow Bark.

Other ingredients include: Vitamin B1, bitter melon extract, svetol green coffee extract, rhodiola extract, bacopa extract, white willow bark, ginger extract, garlic oil, cayenne extract, phytosterol extract and black tea.

To be quite honest, I really see little in the pill that makes me take a second look. It looks like a million other weight loss pills that you can find in the vast wilderness that is the web. The pill is neither really good, nor is it really bad – just stuck somewhere in the middle area.

The good

• Contains solid ingredients
• Inexpensive

The bad

• Can it really harness the power of adrenaline
• Potential for negative side effects
• No money-back guarantee

The way we see it

It claims to “harness the power of adrenaline” and I just don’t know if it can deliver on those claims. It’s essentially a caffeine-based stimulant that should produce some results but at the same time could also manifest several other negative side effects. I think there are better product on which you can spend your hard earned money on; move onto one of those.

How many ways can a weight loss pill help you lose weight? Try six, or so that’s what Nutrabolics Hemodrene for Her claims their pill can accomplish. That’s a unique way of looking at it; I really don’t run into too many pills that have taken a similar marketing approach. It makes you feel like this pill has six different ways in which it will help you lose weight, and while that’s partially true, by taking such a wide approach they may have weakened the pill’s overall weight loss power.

That’s not to say you won’t see some results. Sure, you should see a little weight loss, maybe a slight increase in appetite control and a small shot of energy – that’s essentially what those weight loss ingredients they’ve included in the formula can deliver. The problem isn’t with the ingredients – it’s with the choice the manufactures made by mixing all of their ingredients in seven large blends.

A common tactic by weight loss companies to lay claim to a number of top-notch ingredients, only to include effective amounts in just a couple of the ingredients – not all of them.

The others, or the short-changed ingredients, act as window-dressing to spruce up the look or appeal of the product but because they don’t have the proper amounts in the formula they really have little effect.

They do this because it saves them money – by reducing the expensive ingredient they save money but then charge the consumer the same dollar amount under the assumption that all the ingredients used included use their effective amounts. This is a common tactic by weight loss pills and is always something to consider when you see large blends used in weight loss formulas. Because of this we’re very cautions about Nutrabolics Hemodrene for Her.

A closer look at Nutrabolics Hemodrene for Her

Nutrabolics Hemodrene for Her is not one to shy away from ingredients; by browsing through the ingredient profile one can see they’ve stacked the pill with a ton of ingredients. Again, that concerns me because over stacking a pill can dilute it – another common blunder made by weight loss manufactures. Sometimes less is not better.

But let’s quickly talk about a couple of the more important compounds that make up the pill. The first is the Lipid Metabolism Activating Matrix.

Lipid Metabolism Activating Matrix

Red raspberry ketones, Nelumbo nucifera rhizome etract, Salacia reticulata extract, Mangifera Indica leaf extract, Oolong tea extract, Pomegranate leaf extract, Grape seed extract and Capsaicin USP.

This compound is probably going to be the major weight loss player in this formula. They include some fairly decent ingredients like Green tea and Oolong tea extracts. The purpose of the Lipid Metabolism Activating Matrix is to trigger the release of stored fat cells so they can be burned into energy. These lipids facilitate this process.

Nutrabolics included the Mangifera Indica leaf in this compound and claim this extract to be the key ingredient in the matrix. As a powerful phenolic, the extract from the leaf can help to reduce blood sugar levels, which are crucial to the lipid process because these blood sugar levels can block the lipids from releasing the fat – and thus prohibiting the fat from being burned. There is some debate as to how effective this extract really is. In theory, it sounds great but the application is somewhat more difficult to accomplish.

The next matrix is called the Neurogenic Performance Optimizers.

Neurogenic Performance Optimizers

D-Phenylalanine USP, 4-Hydroxyphenylalanine, Thiamine Di, Choline Bitartrate, Geranium extract.

There’s really nothing in there that really stands out to me other then the Geranium extract, also known as 1,3 Dimethylamylamine. This supplement acts similar to the body’s own chemical messenger called epinephrine. This supplement also exhibits a pretty powerful Central Nervous System stimulating ability, for increased energy, mental clarity, and physical performance.

There are a number of other compounds in the pill but they’re of little consequence. They do include an “advanced water shedding matrix,” which is supposed to help remove water trapped under the surface of the skin but this is simply a cosmetic tactic and is shouldn’t be considered a viable long-term solution to weight loss.

The good

• Decent ingredients
• Does attack fat in a variety of ways
• Priced fairly

The bad

• Too many ingredients – diluted?
• List all ingredients in large blends
• Don’t list individual amounts in blends
• No guarantee

The way we see it

Nutrabolics Hemodrene for Her is an interesting product that grabs our attention but doesn’t keep it. We frown upon Nutrabolics choice to place every one of their ingredients in a giant blends. Because there’s so much going on in this pill, those numbers would be helpful in determining if the pill contains the proper amounts.  Could this be a case of over stuffing a pill to the point of lowering it’s effectiveness? I think that may be accurate.

Tapout Sports Take Down Fat Burner

The Tapout Sports Take Down Fat Burner is designed and marketed for the mixed marshal arts crowd – no surprise there considering the maker of the product. But just in case you’re not the leg swingin’, judo choppin’ type don’t you worry: based on the ingredients anybody should be able to take the pill and get similar results.

The Tapout folks, it appears, are branching out are now venturing into the weight loss world and I guess it makes sense for them at some level. MMA athletes need energy and they’re always looking to shed pounds and get cut up.

Let’s take a quick look at the ingredients and see if this product can really deliver on its modest promises to help “boost metabolism and maximize weight loss.”

What’s inside Tapout Take Down Fat Burner?

There’s nothing revolutionary about the formula that drives Tapout Sports Take Down Fat Burner; most of the ingredients are fairly common, which is a major reason why we think just about anybody can take this pill – not just the MMA folks.

The ingredients inside Tapout Sports Take Down Fat Burner are split into three basic blends. The first called the Thermo Blend and contains Citrus Aurantium, caffeine, Green Tea, Capsicum Extract and 7-Keto DHEA.

This blend is probably going to be the most important of the three. From what we can gather Tapout puts a lot of emphasis on the 7 –Keto DHEA. This ingredient works as a metabolite of an adrenal hormone called DHEA, which forms when our bodies produce and metabolize DHEA. The benefits of this process are increased metabolism though thermogenisis. The higher rate of thermogenisis happening, the less likelihood that unwanted fat cells will be sticking around. Pretty good stuff.

Green Tea is also a pretty formidable ingredient. As food is ingested into the body it is synthesized—or transformed—into a substance called triglyceride, which plays a vital role in the overall health of the body. They’re responsible for creating energy for the body. But an excess of these triglycerides can turn in to fat, possibly leading to obesity.  However, Green Tea triggers an enzyme responsible for removing these excess triglycerides from the body.

The second blend is called the Ergogenic Blend and contains just two ingredients: White Willow Bark and Pyruvate. White Willow Bark is a natural source of Salicylic Acid, which normalizes the skin’s shedding process and helps to prevent pore-clogging but really doesn’t play much of a role in weight loss.

The last is called the Energy Blend and contains basic vitamin supplements plus Glucuronolactone and Taurine. The vitamins present the best chance at weight loss even though they should be considered minimal at best.

Now the problem with these blends is not in the ingredients themselves. Many of the above listed ingredients are some of the best on the market. The problem is each of them needs to be used in their proper amounts for them to effective.

If they’re not, they won’t be effective. Why spend all that money on a product that is less then effective? Clearly, that’s not the best use of your money.  After years in this business we’ve come to realize that if you don’t know dosage amounts, you really don’t know anything at all. It’s not uncommon for some weight loss pills to claim a number of top-notch ingredients, only to include effective amounts in just a couple of the ingredients. The others, or the short-changed ingredients, are simply window dressing.

They do this because it saves them money – by reducing the expensive ingredient they save money but then charge the consumer the same dollar amount under the assumption that all the ingredients used included use their effective amounts.

This is a common tactic by weight loss pills and is always something to consider when you see blends used in weight loss formulas. Because of this we’re very cautions about Tapout Sports Take Down Fat Burner.

The good

• Decent ingredients
• Not expensive

The bad

• Don’t list amounts in blends
• Uses giant blends to house ingredients

The way we see it

We like the ingredients, just not the way Tapout chose to put them in the formula. Good ingredients can get lost in blends and for that reason we tend to be a little skeptical of products that base the entirety of their formula on blends. Because we don’t exactly know what is going into the pill if we’re going to err it’ll be on the side of caution and suggest you spend your money elsewhere.

SciFit TriCuts III is a product based, in theory, on the popular – but now banned – substance called Ephedra. And because Ephedra was such an effective weight loss substance diet companies spend untold amounts of dollars trying to find the right combination of ingredients that can match its power. Unfortunately, Ephedra was simply to good to be true and eventually banned by the FDA because it leads to a number of health related issues.

In the case of SciFit TriCuts III they’ve attempted to create a weight loss pill that looks, acts and delivers like Ephedra only without the unwanted side effects. They fall short of that goal. There’s nothing on this planet –as of yet – that can replace what Ephedra can do. So don’t be fooled into buying a product that claims to do what Ephedra does, only without the bad side effects.

How SciFit TriCuts III work?

The pill relies on a couple of ingredients to drive the weight loss. Here’s a quick look at that list:

Guggul lipid extract, guarana extract, coleus forskolii, L-tyrosine, 7-keto DHEA, octopamine, yohimbe bark extract, caffeine bioperine, 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine

The formula is solid but leaves a little to be desired. The guarana, used by natives of South America for years to cure a variety of illnesses, contains nearly twice the amount of caffeine found in coffee beans. Guarana is also included in many weight loss supplements because it’s believed to boost the body’s energy levels, increase metabolism or thermogenesis and act as an appetite suppressant.

Caffeine BioPerine enhances the absorption of nutrients. This helps the body absorb the nutrients contained in the other supplements so the body can maximize the weight loss potential, while 3,5 Diiodo-L-Thyronine has been shown to enhance mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation rate and thermogenesis in rats – but is a little inconclusive with humans.

But despite these solid ingredients, we wonder if it’s enough to really make a major difference in weight loss. Now, we have little doubt that by taking SciFit TriCuts III some type of measureable weight loss will occur but it won’t be at the standard rate we hold our weight loss pills to.

The good

• Inexpensive
• Will improve the body’s thermogenic rate
• Contains decent ingredients

The bad

• Website provides little information about the product
• Ingredients, while solid, lack true weight loss firepower
• No money-back guarantee
• Too cheap?

The way we see it

The product has a nice foundation but seems to missing that element that sets it apart. We also couldn’t find much about a return policy. That’s a great indictor that the company stands behind its product and values what their customers think of it. If a company’s return policy is vague or hard to find that automatically set’s it back in our estimation; SciFit TriCuts III is just too much of an unknown for us to give it high marks.

With so many weight loss pills available the question posed with this review is if Sports One MaHuang RP is a good choice as a weight loss pill. The short answer is no. No offense to Sports One but our decision revolves around a single ingredient included in their formula.

You may or may not already know that Sports One MaHuang RP contains a now banned supplement called Ephedra. This stimulant was once considered to be the most effective weight loss supplement – that was until it was discovered to have some pretty adverse side effects including strokes, seizures, psychosis and even death.

Nothing like that list of side effects to get the kibosh put on any supplement. Once it was discovered the health risks this product presented it ignited a mass action lawsuit, and the FDA banned Ephedra. By connecting the dots you can deduct any product that contains Ephedra would be considered illegal in the United States and similar countries’ that have the same ban on Ephedra.

Unfortunately there are some companies who still include the banned substances in their formulas and even other weight loss pill distributors who continue to sell Ephedra based products on their websites.  Let’s be clear: stay away from Ephedra based products! There are better ways to lose weight then by putting your life in harm’s way. Stick to more structured diets and proven weight loss pills.

Sports One Ma Huang RP includes 25 mg of Ephedra. Again, because the substance is illegal and can really mess with the organic function of the body we won’t recommend taking it.The pill does contain a number of other ingredients but really they’re inconsequential at this point. The Ephedra cancels them all out: even if the rest of the pill contains the world’s best weight loss formula, if it contains a dangerous substance the pill should be considered dangerous.

Besides the Ephedra contained therein, the pill is also full of other strong stimulants such as caffeine, Synephrine and so forth. Each of these other stimulants – aside from the obvious side effects of Ephedra already discussed – can lead to unwanted side effects. For example, caffeine is a pretty efficient thermogenic but it can also lead to nervousness, jitters and insomnia.

The good

• Ingredients are proven to trigger weight loss

The bad

• Illegal in U-S
• Potential for harmful side effects
• No money-back guarantee?
• Over priced

The way we see it

The negatives far out way the positives in regards to Sports One Ma Huang RP. Why risk a potential stroke or heart attack on a pill that can only provide minimal results. There are better, more effective, less harmful weight loss pills available and should be considered a much better alternative – seems like a no brainer to us. Find one of those.
