Metabothin™: Can We Trust It?

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about MetaboThin on DietBlogTalk.com

Overview

Before the banning of Ephedra, things were not going well in the diet world. Folks were headed to emergency rooms with all sorts of negative side effects – and all because they wanted to lose a few pounds.Now that the Ephedra ban has been partially lifted, some manufacturers feel justified in putting it back in their products. MetaboThin™, by American Generic Laboratories, is one such company. MetaboThin™, patterned after Metabolife 356, is a thermogenic product that will supposedly elevate the body’s temperature and contribute to increased calorie burning. The only problem is, it’s full of stimulants that might cause serious problems for dieters.

Ingredients at a Glance

MetaboThin™ contains Vitamin E, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Chromium, Ephedra, Guarana, Acacia, Citrus Aurantium, Eleutherococcus Senticosus, Lecithin, Ginger, Sasparilla, Damiana, Bovine Complex, Nettles, Royal Jelly, Goldenseal, Spirulina, Gotu Kola, Theobroma Cacao, Phenyltheylamine HCL, Green Tea, and Yohimbe. We’ll focus on the dangerous combinations here.

Ingredients in Focus

Ephedra is a source of Ephedrine, which is an amine similar to amphetamine and methamphetamine. Negative side effects may include arrhythmia, sweating, nausea, increased urine output, restlessness, confusion, panic, hostility, agitation, shortness of breath, headache, and many others. There’s good reason to believe no one should take Ephedra, banned or not.

MetaboThin™ also contains Citrus Aurantium, which is prized for its Synephrine content. However, when it’s stacked with Caffeine, Synephrine becomes dangerous. And in MetaboThin™, Guarana and Green Tea deliver a decent amount of Caffeine, making Citrus Aurantium a potentially dangerous option for fat-burning when on its own it can be very helpful. In short, this stimulant-heavy cocktail is not the safest weight loss option we’ve ever seen.

Positives

•    None.

Negatives

•    Contains too many stimulants.

•    Besting a dangerous competitor’s formula is a poor goal for a company.

•    Product presentation is poor, and the product is expensive.

Final Thoughts

MetaboThin™ is not the safest option for weight loss supplementation. We’d recommend shopping for a stimulant-free fat burner and/or appetite suppressant. When combined with regular exercise and a sensible diet, such a product could enhance weight loss. MetaboThin™ may contribute to weight loss too, but it looks to be more than the average consumer will bargain for.
