Anorex Review
The combination
of ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin is a widely documented nutritional
method of inducing weight loss. Numerous studies have confirmed
the effectiveness of these and some of the other ingredients in
Anorex. For more discussion on what results
you can expect when taking Anorex, see Anorex
Results.
Like any fat
burner, Anorex is only as good as its ingredients. So to get a
valid Anorex review, its important to have a complete analysis
of each of its fat-burning ingredients.
Anorex Review: Ingredients
In Anorex
Ephedrine
and Caffeine
Renowned weight-loss expert Arne Astrup, MD, and his associates
performed a study with ephedrine at the University of Copenhagen
and two Danish hospitals. Five young females were given 20 mg
of ephedrine three times per day one hour before meals and were
told to continue eating normally. Even though there was no dieting
involved, the women lost an average of 2.5 kg of body weight after
four weeks and 5.5 kg after 12 weeks. They also held onto their
lean muscle, while their body-fat percentage dropped by 3.5% after
four weeks and 5.2% after 12 weeks. Two months after the experiment
stopped, they had only gained back 0.5 kg. The only side effect
was a mild rise in blood pressure at the start of the experiment.
Two studies by the same Danish researchers indicate the benefits
of combining ephedrine with caffeine. In both studies, the participants
took a supplement with 20 mg of ephedrine and 200 mg of caffeine
three times per day. They also followed a low-calorie diet. In
the first study, the test subjects lost 16.2% of their body weight
in 24 weeks, significantly more than the 13.4% loss by the placebo
group. The second study confirmed that most of this loss was body
fat. In that eight-week study, the E/C group lost 10.1 kg, compared
to only 8.4 kg with the placebo. But the E/C group lost twice
as much fat (9.0 kg vs. 4.5 kg) and much less fat-free mass (1.1
kg vs. 3.9 kg). Only mild side effects were reported.
The E/C combination has been extensively studied, but space limitations
do not allow a detailed listing of the many studies that have
showed benefits. All of this research, however, supports the effectiveness
of the E/C stack and demonstrates the moderate level of side effects
when you take appropriate dosages. (For information on side effects
of Anorex, see Anorex Side
Effects.)
Aspirin
Several studies have shown that aspirin contributes to energy
expenditure, particularly in obese individuals. It appears to
do this by raising the body's internal "thermostat,"
so that the increased production of heat produced by E/C products
does not trigger a response by the body. This allows fat burning
to continue longer than it otherwise would. All of the studies
that showed these benefits used aspirin - not willow bark.
L-tyrosine
Research suggests that supplementing with tyrosine may minimize
the degradation of the neurotransmitters involved in the metabolic
process while enhancing the thermogenic effects of the ECA stack.
With more raw material available, the neurotransmitters controlling
metabolism are produced at a higher level with beneficial results.
The increases in alertness and energy level will also make it
easier to stick to your diet program.
Kelp
The iodine in kelp is essential for the health of the thyroid
gland, which is the primary regulator of your metabolism. This
is why iodine was added to salt early in the last century. No
evidence exists that supplementation at a level higher than that
needed to eliminate a nutritional deficiency will produce any
additional benefit in thermogenesis or metabolic rate.
Cayenne
The capsaicin in cayenne has been shown to be effective in animal
and human experiments. In a recent 14-day study, rats were given
capsaicin or placebo and put on an exercise program. Compared
to the control rats, the capsaicin group had a greater reduction
in their fat stores. These benefits appear to take place with
both high-carb and high-fat diets. A study of Japanese women on
these two types of diets found that adding cayenne to their food
led to increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Both of
these effects would result in a loss of body fat over time.
While this
Anorex review sheds light on the clinical studies performed on
Anorex's ingredients, the only real way to determine its effectiveness
is to actually try the product out for yourself.
