| Xenadrine EFX | Weight Loss |
|
The original production of Xenadrine was controversial to say the least as it was eventually proven to cause heart disease because of the strong dosage of ephedra in the makeup. However, the new improved extra strength Xenadrine EFX is ephedra free and claims to be even more effective than the original product.
What does Xenadrine EFX promise, does it deliver, and are there side effects? |

Controversy of XenadrineAccording to the website, Xenadrine contains a more potent blend of thermogenic compounds clinically proven to increase the body’s metabolic rate and energy expenditure to help promote reductions in weight and body fat. The product is supposed to be taken orally, twice a day. One dose should be administered before a breakfast or morning workout and another should be taken mid afternoon. For most, it is recommended that two pills be taken at each dosage, but for those weighing less than 150 pounds, the website recommends cutting doses in half for the first week.
The truth is that the most potent ingredient in this dietary supplement is caffeine, a natural stimulant and diuretic found in soft drinks, coffee, tea, and cocoa. One dose contains about the same amount of caffeine as a single serving cup of coffee; however, because it is in purer form, it is much more potent. If you decide to make use of the supplement, it is recommended that you limit or completely eliminate other caffeinated products from your diet. An overabundance of caffeine in the system can lead to side effects such as nervousness, sleeplessness, severe irritability, and rapid heartbeat that is quite stressful on your body as well as on your mind.
There is a long list of side effects associated with the use of any Xenadrine product. If you have physical conditions such as heart disease, renal disease, high blood pressure, frequent migraines, cardiac arrhythmia, glaucoma, psychiatric diseases, psychological conditions, or spasms, Xenadrine EFX is not a product you should consider for weight control. Also, individuals with hypersensitivity to caffeine or who may be allergic to chocolate or tyramine should avoid the use of any Xenadrine product.
Anyone being treated for asthma or related conditions, or those using an MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) should consult his or her doctor before using this weight loss drug. Women who are pregnant or nursing should avoid the supplement due to possible negative effects on the child. Sun sensitivity is increased by some of the products used in Xenadrine, and those with very fair skin should be sure to limit sun exposure while treating with the drug.
As with all weight loss or weight management supplements, there are risk factors involved in using Xenadrine EFX. However, if you are a healthy person with the exception of your weight, you may find this particular means of weight loss useful. It will help curb appetite and increase energy levels, though many may experience paranoia or trembling due to large quantities of caffeine in the system when in use.
