Most fat loss supplements contain a little caffeine because it can potentiate the other ingredients. Also, caffeine can be a decent metabolism booster and performance enhancer.
However, ever since the ephedrine ban (remember the old Hydroxycut and Xenadrine formulas?), some supplement makers are using a boatload of caffeine, not because it helps you lose fat, but because it jacks you up and makes you think it's accomplishing something because you'll be able to "feel it." These products cost less than 80 cents a bottle to make and often sell for over $100.
Since no one will pay that much for caffeine, other names for caffeine or caffeine-containing substances are used on the label:
Guarana Extract
Paullinia cupana
Brazilian cocoa
1,3,7 trimethylxanthine
Yerba Maté
Green Tea Extract
Kola Nut
If that's all that's in your fat loss supplement, most likely you're being duped by a "padded" label.
Lesson of the day: do some research before buying any products.

In simple words, caffeine just dehydrate you so your weight will drop, and you seems to have "lost weight". Right?Han wrote:Just a few notes on fat loss supplements:
