Zantrex-3

Get a lean, mean body with the help of this supplement.


BACKGROUND

Zantrex-3 comes right out of the gate with boastful claims that it's not just another diet supplement in an already crowded market. Zantrex-3 says it belongs in a brand new category of super-charged, super-result supplements. Promising users up to five times the normal weight loss from other pills, and the energy you need, Zantrex-3 says it’s the fat burning, energy boosting pill that is going to win you over once and for all.

Zantrex-3 does come across as a high-intensity product that seems to focus more on the short-term rather than support for the long-term. You'll take Zantrex-3 about half an hour before each main meal - this will limit your appetite and you'll begin to see results in a couple of weeks.

Zantrex-3's formula is centered around ephedrine, the once banned herbal stimulant/suppressant due to adverse effects such as cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Zantrex-3 says it safely uses ephedrine to promote its overwhelmingly positive results since it re-induction. Zantrex-3 also contains three other herbs that are not common, and there has been little research conducted - liex paraguarensis, turnera diffusa and Paulina cupana P.

PRO
  • Rapid weight loss
  • Lose more weight than with diet and exercise alone
  • Increased energy
  • Lose 546% more weight than the leading ephedra-based pill
  • Increase metabolism
CON
  • No emphasis on diet and exercise
  • Little information on ingredients
INGREDIENTS
  • Xanthine
  • Guarana
  • Niacin
  • Green Tea
  • Ginseng
ADMINISTRATION

For maximum results, you should take two tablets 15-30 minutes before meals with a full glass of water. You should not exceed six capsules per day.

DIET and EXERCISE

No guidance given.

CONCLUSION

There are, of course, many dietary supplements on the market that make similar claims. The decision to choose one of these over another should be an educated one. So, you should enlist the advice of your doctor. Supplements should not be relied on as a stand-alone weight loss plan, as a healthy diet and routine exercise greatly impact results. Zantrex-3 explains on its site that the product has not been tested alongside any diet or exercise programs.

I took my first 2 doses of Zantrex 3 yesterday and was fine. Then when I took it today after about 10 min I turned really red and burning from head too toe. I think it does work but wonder now if I should continue to take it? posted Apr 8th, 2008 10:19 pm

I like Zantrex 3 because it helps me digest my food everytime I eat. Before I would never do #2, now that I am taking the pill, after every meal I use the restroom. It actually isn't a bad product, but results vary. Everyones body type is different so no one should be expecting the same results. Overall, this product is good. posted Apr 7th, 2008 8:09 pm

The first time I took Zantrex 3 I lost 23 pounds in a few months, it GREATLY decreases my appetite, even when I was hungry my favorite food sounded horrible to me. I ran out of the pills and continued to maintain my weight for about 6 months but recently Ive gained about 10 pounds back and just started taking Zantrex again. It does make me sick the first few days but after that it goes away. Also, you have to eat a normal meal or it will make the dizziness and jitters worse. posted Apr 7th, 2008 12:38 pm

I want to offer people who are researching this a review that they might actually find helpful. Let me start by giving my putting perspective on the situation in which zantrex was used. I've been taking this for almost 3 weeks as a supplement to eating smaller portions and excercising more. The first week I took one pill twice a day before meals. Now I take two pills twice a day before meals. WHAT DOES THIS PILL ACTUALLY DO: It definatly does help supress appetite. It also gives me an energy boost (don't take one within several hours of going to bed.) I've had no negative side effects but it does not seem to be some sort of miracle weight loss pill. I've only lost a couple lbs since i've started taking it (which i attribute mostly to the excercise). BOTTOM LINE: It does help supress appetite and it does give you an energy bost. Aside from that I see no other effects positive or negative. posted Apr 6th, 2008 9:13 pm

I have had great results on Zantrex. I have coupled it with the Atkins products. I can only take one pill in the morning right before I eat and one at lunch. It does have alot of caffine and you do have to eat. If you have ever skipped meals you will get dizy and sick to your stomch The key is 5 small meals a day, lots of water, and exercise and you will see results. I f you are not going to follow this don't buy the pill you are wasting your money. Start the pills of slow and work your way up as each week goes buy, no diet pill is a miracle but it does give you a jump start. So good luck everyone and remember no one can loose weight on junk food and fast food! posted Apr 6th, 2008 9:13 pm

I bought these on holiday in the US as its difficult to buy in the UK. Took 2 for breakfast and then 2 for lunch and didn't sleep for a day and a half - nightmare. Now take 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch and can now sleep at night. Not weighed myself yet (has only been a few days) but I don't want to eat so much - just be careful if your not used to caffeine and drink lots of water. posted Apr 5th, 2008 3:58 pm

I currently weigh 134 lbs and would like to get down to 125 lbs (this was my weight before having kids) I will keep you all updated on how this pill affects me, good or bad.... Have got my fingers crossed.. posted Apr 5th, 2008 6:58 am

I started taking Zantrex today. Although I am not really over weight, I am 137 lbs 5'6, I cannot lose my stubborn belly fat and fat in my thighs! I am hoping that this product will work for me, I would like to get to a lean 125lbs with added muscle so that I am not unhealthy. I work out 4-6 hrs a week and am always so exhausted! I make sure to eat atleast 1,300 calories a day because I use to be somewhat anorexic and limit myself to about 700 calories a day (Note to everyone eatting less than 1,300 calories a day does NOT work, I lost 30 lbs in a month and have gained back 35lbs because my body stored everything I ate when I started eating again!) Anyways, I go to Hawaii in August and just want to look amazing. I am starting to feel really warm, probably because my heart rate is up, and a little jittery even though I just ate my lean cuisine, I drank a 32 oz diet coke and took 2 pills, I didn't even think about it! :( I think tonight I will just take 1 pill before I work out because if I go to bed after 9 pm I do not wake up in the morning. To those who are not eating very much please read the bottle it clearly states that you need to take it before a main meal AND that the calories in food jumpstart the pills and food is what makes them work so if you don't eat you will probably gain weight and have a heart attack from all of the caffeine like properties. I'll let people know if I lose weight, good luck! posted Apr 3rd, 2008 2:25 pm

My friend and I just bought a bottle last night at Wal-mart and we split it. I am going to start out with just one pill. I think the biggest thing is that you eat! So many people think that if they don't eat they will lose weight. The truth is your body goes into a starvation mode and stores all the fat it can. Eat healthy, eat small, but eat! Good luck to everyone. posted Apr 1st, 2008 10:04 am

I've tried a pill i got through a friend in shanghai, china and it worked super well. I was 5'4 and 110 lbs and went down to ~90 lbs. Didn't have a problem w/ keeping it down with dining and eating when i felt like it. Unfortunately, besides that friend, i couldn't find the pill so when i moved to u.s., started taking zantrex. Similar effects, but MUCH stronger. I think zantrex is a good pill if you just know how to control your doses. like try to lower the dose and control yourself a bit. grab a fruit instead of a sandwich. and use it on vacation when you don't have to worry about feeling woozy during work or school. lose weight fast. good luck to everyone. posted Mar 31st, 2008 7:31 pm

Always carefully read the directions before taking any “diet pill” or dietary supplement. If you feel dizzy or jittery when taking Zantrex-3, back off the dosage (says so right on the bottle). Take 1 capsule each time, and don't take more than 2 per day. Let your body slowly acclimate to Zantrex-3. And remember to take the capsules 15-30 minutes before meals. Taking them on an empty stomach... probably not a good idea. posted Mar 27th, 2008 2:20 pm

I've been taking Zantrex for about a year (I take maybe 3 or 4 a day). I don't think it suppresses my appetite at all, but it does give me quick energy. I usually take 2 pills before I go to the gym and notice a huge difference in my energy levels (hence I've lost 15 pounds by working out, not eating less). posted Mar 25th, 2008 8:31 pm

Before i bought zantrex 3 i read the label and all the instructions and did alot of thinking and planing. I usually drink 4 to 5 20 ounce soft drinks a day so caffeine is nothing new to me. I started taking zantrex 3 today and so far i dont feel any different than i usually do. yes this pill does contain a lot of caffeine so i am cutting back on the soft drinks because that would be a caffieine overload. Everyone that is feeling dizzy or light headed it is probly because your body is'nt use to that much caffeine. So i believe that there has to be some give and take. you have to do some work to get any results. It cant do it by itself. This is just my personal opinion and not from a doctor. I decided to take zantrex 3 along with an exircise program and hopefully i will see some results. Good luck to everyone and God bless. posted Mar 25th, 2008 9:43 am

KRIS- No, sweet tea is NOT OK. One, it's full of sugar, which is full of calories and will convert to fat. Kind of counter productive. Two, tea is full of caffeine. If you're already feeling sick, caffeine isn't going to help. Drink the water. Add a slice of lemon, lime, or orange. posted Mar 24th, 2008 11:33 am

OMG did someone say something about wearing diapers with allie? Thats crazy! I have been taking Zantrex 3 for a while now and it really does work. I used to take effedra pills and if you guys think zantrex gives you rapid heart rate and sick stomache good thing you didnt take the effedra pills! If you are taking these pills for the first time start off by taking one pill before meals before meals for about a week until your body can adjust to it. Then slowly start taking two, if you feel sick to your stomache or feel jittery that means your body cannot handle taking 2 pills and just stick with one. this is comming from a health care worker. Good luck to everyone with their weight loss. posted Mar 22nd, 2008 12:10 pm
