Stacker 3 Reviews
The combination
of ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin is a widely documented nutritional
method of inducing weight loss. Numerous studies have confirmed
the effectiveness of all of the ingredients in Stacker
3 except for the chitosan. For a discussion of what results
you can expect when taking Stacker 3, see Stacker
3 Results.
Like any fat
burner, Stacker 3 is only as good as its ingredients. So Stacker
3 reviews includes a complete analysis of each of its fat-burning
ingredients.

Ingredients In Stacker 3
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 more information on the
side effects of Stacker 3, see Dangers
of Stacker 3.)
Willow bark
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. Although no study
has compared the benefits of the E/C stack with and without willow
bark, the effects are probably similar to those of aspirin.
Grapefruit extract
Numerous studies have indicated that naringin prolongs the chemical
activity of caffeine. Research published in the British Journal
of Clinical Pharmacology found that the half-life of caffeine
was extended by 31% when naringin was present in sufficient amounts.
Studies of various citrus fruits have shown that grapefruit has
by far the highest content of naringin. It is, in fact, what gives
grapefruit its characteristic bitter taste.
Chitosan
A study at the University of California, Davis, by American Obesity
Association co-founder Dr. Judy Stern revealed that chitosan has
no ability to block or bind to dietary fat in humans. This contradicts
earlier studies showing that it had this effect in other animals.
While it's nice that it works in rats, if you're reading this,
you must be human, and the bottom line for us is that chitosan
is useless.
While Stacker
3 reviews sheds light on the science behind Stacker 3, the only
real way to determine its effectiveness is to actually try the
product out for yourself.
