8-FX Reviews
8-FX is a fat burner by MRI. It advertises an 8 point solution to help you lose weight. Those 8 points involve controlling the thyroid, thermogenesis, increased metabolism, increased fat burning, and increased fat oxidation. The other 3 points focus on energy expenditure, controlling mood, and increasing focus. That seems like a lot for one pill. Let’s take a look at the ingredients to see how valid those claims really are.
What are the ingredients?
Chromium – This natural mineral has been touted as a weight loss aid that controls insulin, and helps maintain lean muscle. However, no studies have been able to find a link between chromium and weight loss.
Green Tea – This ingredient is another popular weight loss ingredient. It has been shown to increase metabolism and help some lose weight. It’s effects are limited, but as a kick-start to weight loss it can be effective when used in the right amounts.
Caffeine anhydrous-Used to increase energy and fat burning through a thermogenic effect in most diet pills. It provides increased energy during workouts, and increased calorie burning. It may have certain effects on some such as dizziness, or making people jittery.
Yohimbine-This natural herb has not necessarily been shown to increase weight loss. It is usually used as a mood enhancer. However, it has been linked to side effects such as heart attack, stroke, renal failure, and kidney failure.
Coleus forskohlii-derived from Ayurvedic medicine, coleus forskohlii has been used to effectively burn fat with over 1000mg and no stimulants required
Raspberry ketones-used as a natural fat burner, this has been tested in rats and shown to reduce weight gain with a high fat diet and even promote weight loss in some cases.
Evodiamines-among the best known stimulant free fat burners, evodiamines have been shown to promote weight loss with moderate diet, but it does not require extreme or severe changes
Advantra-Z-a patented form of the ever popular synephrine, this has been proposed to be an effective alternative to ephedrine without the side effects, in part because it uses the cousin of ephedra.
Bottom line
8-FX has a few good ingredients in it that may provide benefits. However, weight loss will most likely not be one of those benefits. They have some great fat burners to say the least. But they don’t acutally have the right amounts. They don’t have what you would need. There are a number of potentially serious side effects, and we would suggest that you find something else.
