Stacker 2 Ephedra Free Review

Stacker 2 Ephedra Free Ingredients:

This ephedrine free version contains several unique ingredients, and the ingredient makeup is somewhat different compared to the ephedra versions.

Serving Size (cap) 1
Servings 100
-Proprietary Blend... 196mg (Kola Nut Seeds 3mg caffeine, Citrus Aurantium 2mg synepehrine, Cassia Mimosoides, White Willow Bark)
-Caffeine (anhydrous)... 200mg
-TriGuggulyptoid Complex... 25mg (green tea leaves <1mg caffeine group alkaloids, guggulsterone, gymnema.)

While it contains some common fat burner ingredients like caffeine, stacker 2 ephedra free also comes with a few interesting ingredients: citrus aurantium and gugglsterone.

Citrus aurantium - also known as bitter orange, has been used in Chinese medicine to treat chest congestion. Citrus aurantium has a rare combination of 5 amines: synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamine, and tyramine, which "stimulates beta-3 cell receptors" that could lead to increase in your metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure.

The added benefit of Citrus aurantium is this ability to stimulate beta-3 cell receptors, which helps breakdown fat, increase energy, and increase metabolic rate, hence making thermogenesis more effective. Studies show that Citrus aurantium may also act to suppress appetite.

I should point out that the biggest benefit of Citrus aurantium is that several compound found in Citrus aurantium are structurally similar to ephedrine and act as stimulants, but these do not appear to have the same negative side effects of ephedrine.

Citrus aurantium is very much hyped, alot of how it works are still theories and speculation, and lacks thorough scientific research. So, as good as it sounds on paper, keep a skeptical eye open.

Guggulsterones - have thyroid stimulating properties. Guggul is a tree grown in India. It secretes a resin out of incisions made in its bark. This resin has been used for centuries as india's traditional medicine. Studies have found guggulsterone to stimulate thyroid output and help increase metabolic rate leading to weight loss.

Guggulsterone appears to help with conversion of T4 (an inactive thyroid hormone) into T3 (an active thyroid hormone). When T3 levels are low, lipase activitie is hindered - meaning that the activity of enzymes which breaks down of fats into glycerol and fatty acid is reduced.

Various studies have also found guggulsterone to help lower total blood cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol (the bad kind).

Caffeine is well known for its fat burning effects. It increases mental alertness, boosts energy, increase adrenaline levels, and its also a mild diuretic

Green tea extract: what can you say about green tea? Pretty much everything good, and nothing bad. Take a look:

• Green tea is a powerful antioxidant. (Antioxidants control all the free radicals in your body, which can be harmful.)
• It helps block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens, ultraviolet light from the skin, stomach, small intestine, liver or lung.
• The polyphenols in green tea extract shows promising results supporting weight loss through increasing energy expenditure.

Stacker 2 Ephedrine Free Side Effects

Although this formula doesn't cotain ephedra, however, there are still potential side effects as with any fat burner. There include:

• Increased blood pressure
• Increased heart rate
• Headaches, light-headedness and dizziness
• Loss of appetite (not necessarily bad)
• Feel restless and hyper active
• Feel nervous and easily excited
• Have trouble sleeping at night

These are just some of the common side effects you may or may not experience. As a rule of thumb, its always a good idea to only take 1/2 dosages during the 1st week, to test the waters. If you react fine to it, then take the recommended dosage, and if you don't seem to take well to it, then its best just to stop using it.
