I heard through the rumor mill that those people in the Xenadrine commercials didn’t even use the product. They were paid to say how great Xenadrine is, but did not actually use it as they claimed to in the commercial.
If this is true, then the advertising of the product is deceptive. However, I don’t have first hand knowledge of this.
Aside from the actors in the commercials, I wonder how effective Xenadrine is compared to Zyatonix.
Zyatonix is supposed to cause your fat cells to self-destruct through apoptosis which sounds really convoluted to me. Xenadrine is supposed to raise your metabolism and lower your appetite so that you lose weight.
Xenadrine’s old formula had ephedra in it until the manufacturer was told to take it out. Ephedra can cause heart and blood pressure problems, as well as insomnia.
Out came the ephedra and in went other stimulants like caffeine. The overall effectiveness of Xenadrine is not highly rates; however, Zyatonix seems to have a similar approach.
Mood enhancers and stimulants may have a mild effect on weight loss, but they are not long-term solutions to being overweight.
Instead of using stimulants and other drugs which do not support health and well-being, perhaps people may want to focus on eating well and engaging in enjoyable physical activity.
These are the long term behavioral changes needed for sustained weight loss.
