Thermobol and similar products

Do these work for burning fat , im skeptical ?

If so

Are there any on the market without caffeine in them ?

THe "standard" stuff you get over the counter is rubbish... all the active ingredients have been removed.

Proper diet & don't rely on supplements!

For a start, I'd recommend upping your caffeine intake and see how you react to that first before goiing for any more potent thermogenic.

That, in adddition to what Burkatron just said.

Anything that works seems to work on basis of suppressing appetite rather than the thermogenic properties which I imagine are of limited benefit.

Oxypro Elite worked very well to kill appetitie but I think has been reforumlated so not sure if it works anymore

Ive tried quite a few of these "burners"

Thermobol
Ripped freak
Animal cuts
oxy elite pro

Ive tried them all for one bottle with a solid clean diet with one cheat meal per week.

Apart from Oxy elite the other 3 produced no addtional fat loss as oppsed to not using them at all..in other words...what i lost...i would have lost anyway!!

With oxy elite i lost 1/2 a lb more per week vs the other 3 with the same diet and cheat meal.

I dont use them any more, i'd rather keep the cash then drop the 1/2 lb that im gonna drop anyway!!

As far as i know any decent ingredients in Oxy elite are long gone in the irish market.

Before I had the good sense to do the above I tried thermobol. Imagine my surprise when my face started getting warm, hands swelling, rash on arms and then tongue and throat started swelling up so I had trouble breathing. I had to drive to chemist in a tearful panic to get anti-hystamines.

Really?

If this is true then we're gonna get some killer (hopefully not literally) pre workout and fat burning supps...

But I would find it difficult to believe as they usually get abused and people start dying.. and then they get taken away again...

Anyone know if this is true, not the dying bit, the legal Ephedrine?

I thought it was banned because it's used to make crystal meth, rather than the people dying thing

afaik - and I can be corrected on this - it's illegal in competition according to WADA but not out of competition. It's pretty rough stuff though and getting your hands on it legally (according to the IMB) would be fairly problematic i.e. it's still pxn-only but can be used out of competition from a doping pov.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they were probably both factors....

Isn't sudafed used to make crystal meth ?

Sudafed is a brandname for a medicine that contains Pseudoephedrine.
Pseudoephedrine is used in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Sorry dude but that's got me laughing,unintentionally brilliant!
Pseudo ephedrine is used instead of Ephedrine sometimes....I think! I learned the very little I know of crystal meth like most people here from Walter White! :cool:

Barry.Oglesby

I think the problem is that people alter their diet and take the burners at the same time, so attributing any additional fat loss to them is very difficult. I'm sceptical, but some, and only some, do seem to have a reasonable thermogenic effect.

heno86

most fatburner's rely on caffeine as the main matabolism booster..i buy pure caffeine tablet's and just take these...waaay cheaper

Pseudo-ephedrine can be used too. Considering thats freely availible, I doubt that was a factor in banning

Ephedrine was what Maradonna tested postive for during the 94 world cup.

Accordign to wiki, its available OTC in Canada and in the UK "it may only be lawfully supplied within a registered pharmacy and while a pharmacist is present".

Is that accutrate?
Think its illegal in supps here in oz, but prob easy to pick up

Yeah ephedrine used to be illegal in and out of comp, but now it's illegal in comp and ok out of comp (afaik). But to get your hands on it you need a prescription.

The link wasnt the important part..the crux of the post was that less than one second of googling keywords threw up a site dedicated to its sale.. its not illegal to buy or posses..

It will however be seized by the Irish Medicines Board, as a mate of mine found out when he tried to order some without knowing it's legal status last month.

I have had some great results in using thermogenic burners. I cut a ton using thermobol and found them great but also had good results with BSN thermonex.

I know Thermobol have a new caffeine free formulation. Not to sure how effective caffeine free products would be though tbh?

Then why include the link, which you know well is against the rules. Don't argue with me on thread either

Posession might not be illegal. But If it is a prescribtion medicine. Then isn't buying online, essentially importing, is likely to be illegal?

Its not a prescription medicine,unlike amphetamine for example so its not illegal to own it or posses it however if the customs service open the package and dont like the look of it they'll deem it to be an "anabolic steroid" and seize it.

Its all down to luck really.
