Zantrex 3

Zantrex 3 Review

Zantrex 3 is one of the most popular fat burners and diet supplements to hit the market after the disappearance of the ephedra based fat burners.

We decided to do this Zantrex3 review because it's hard to escape hearing about this product...you've probably seen all the TV ads yourself.

Moreover, Zantrex3 makes some pretty hyped up claims as to their products efficacy -- for example, they say Zantrex 3 beat out the leading ephedra based supplement by 546% regarding weight loss in a clinical trial.

Is this true or just hype? Let's get right into our Zantrex 3 review.

Sorry to report but the above is just an effective marketing pitch. We simply don't know if Zantrex 3 would beat out the "leading ephedra based diet pill."

Why?

Simply because what they don't tell you reveals more about what they do tell you.

We couldn't find in what peer reviewed journal the study was cited in. Moreover, who conducted the study? And did the person conducting it have a financial stake in making sure Zantrex3 was "proven" more effective?

These and other similar questions prove elusive.

Now, none of this is meant to imply Zantrex 3 is ineffective. All we're saying it don't fall so easily for the advertising pitch.

To see if Zantrex3 stands a good chance of being an effective fat burner/weight loss supplement, we must examine the ingredients in the product.

So let's do that:

Yerba mate: this is a pretty popular herb used in a lot of weight loss/fat burning/energy boosting formulas and is also in Zantrex 3. It contains caffeine, but also naturally has some other beneficial substances such as vitamins and minerals.

On the scale of potency, yerba mate is fairly tame from a stimulant point of view.

Green tea: Green tea is used in many weight loss formulas, and also in many health supplements. It contains caffeine, but it's also an extremely powerful antioxidant (antioxidants neutralize those things called free radicals which can damage your body's cells).

Green tea is showing pretty solid promise as a weight loss agent, but it's good to see that Zantrex3 also has some substances such as this that are simply good for you.

Guarana: Guarana is an herb used as a fat burner/weight loss agent in some cultures. In our opinion guarana is one of the most promising ingredients in Zantrex3.

Guaranį contains, among many other things, a high concentration of a compound called tetra methylxanthine. This substance is nearly identical to caffeine.

Now, the really interesting property of this herb is that its caffeine-like compound is released slowly, over the course of many hours, thereby producing an enduring energy boost, which continues to escalate over that time.

As such, it is said to have an ability to keep the body's metabolism burning at an elevated rate over time, leading to greater fat burning effects and weight loss.

Cocoa and kolanut: Both of these naturally contain caffeine as well.

The above are some of the key ingredients in the Zantrex 3 formula and any Zantrex 3 review should focus on these.

Did you notice anything in common with the ingredients above? Yep. They all contain caffeine or caffeine-like substances!

Therefore, the "secret" to weight loss with Zantrex3 is, more or less, just caffeine!

Why not just drink coffee instead? Good question. Well, for one, some of these substances are healthier for you than caffeine in coffee, such as green tea.

Moreover, substances like guarana may give you an energy boost that lasts for hours rather than coffee, which tends to give you a boost and then you suddenly "crash" a short time later as the caffeine wears off.

What's the bottomline? On a A-F grading system, we'd give Zantrex 3 a B. Nothing earthshattering, but definitely filled with effective fat burners.

Keep in mind, however, that because there is so much caffeine in Zantrex 3, if you do not react well to stimulants, and caffeine in particular, you should avoid taking this product.

It's important for you to take a moment and read our page on possible zantrex3 side effects here.

There are other ingredients in Zantrex3 and some of these are interesting, but not really from a fat burning/weight loss perspective.

For example, it also contains maca root and damiana.

Both of these are herbs that are commonly used in supplements for boosting libido and enhancing the mood.

The makers of Zantrex 3 probably figure the better you feel on the product, the more likely you'll want to order it again and again.

Although these might be "nice" ingredients to have, they are not proven effective as fat burners and weight loss agents.

We hope you found our Zantrex 3 review helpful.
