WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 /CNW/ -- Now that the holiday season has
passed, millions of Americans will start dieting in hopes of losing weight
they gained during the year. Many people might use controversial ephedra-based
diet pills to help shed pounds. However, a new clinical study published by the
National Institutes of Health indicates a relatively new ephedra-free diet
agent, known as Xenadrine EFX, has similar metabolic-enhancing,
caloric-burning capabilities as ephedra. Yet, unlike ephedra, Xenadrine EFX,
which contains a specific green tea extract, has no history of "adverse
events."
According to the NIH December report on "The Interaction of Physical
Activity and Nutrition," medical researchers concluded that patients taking
ephedra-free Xenadrine EFX increased caloric burn counts into the double
digits.
Doctors say patients taking Xenadrine EFX were closely monitored and
showed no signs of cardiac side effects, which are potential concerns of some
people using ephedra.
The same research team also reports that it compared the efficacy of
ephedra-free Xenadrine EFX to the efficacy of ephedra-based Dexatrim Natural
and ephedra-based Metab-O-Lite diet pills. The conclusions, published in the
"Journal of the American College of Nutrition," indicate patients burned
significantly more calories taking ephedra-free Xenadrine EFX compared to when
they took the two ephedra-based brands.
Chief Clinical Investigator Howard Schwartz, MD, Internal Medicine, South
Miami Hospital, Director of Clinical Research at Miami Research Associates,
Florida, site of the diet capsule clinical studies, says "The trials involved
randomly selected patients whose resting metabolic rates were measured with an
indirect calorimeter." Dr. Schwartz explains, "It is a device, recently
approved for medical use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is
proven to accurately determine how many calories a person is burning by
gauging biological gases, respiratory rates and oxygen consumption levels." He
adds, "Based on calculations, patients taking Xenadrine EFX daily would, on
average, lose 25 pounds annually without altering current lifestyles."

Clinical Conclusions
In phase one of the clinical trial, patients only took Xenadrine EFX.
Patients' metabolic rates were measured with an indirect calorimeter before
they took the diet agent and every hour for five hours.
The study concluded that Xenadrine EFX increased metabolic rates by as
much as 13.41 percent.
In phase two of the clinical trial, patients were given Xenadrine EFX on
the first day. On day two they were given Dexatrim Natural. On Day three they
were given Metab-O-Lite. Patients' metabolic rates were measured with an
indirect calorimeter before and an hour after taking a pill.
The study concluded patients burned five percent more calories taking
ephedra-free Xenadrine EFX compared to taking ephedra-based Dexatrim Natural.
And, they burned 4.9 percent more calories taking ephedra-free Xenadrine EFX
compared to taking ephedra-based Metab-O-Lite.

Patient Profile
"When I was taking Xenadrine EFX I didn't experience any side effects. I
felt energized. I could feel my body temperature increase slightly and I
noticed my appetite disappeared," says Lori Gross, 37, of Sunrise, FL, a
clinical study participant.
Medical records show that while taking Xenadrine EFX Gross increased her
metabolic burn rate from 1310 calories to 1550 calories per day. Gross says,
"I did the math and that's a difference of 240 calories daily, which, over the
course of a year, would add-up to a weight-loss of 25 pounds," She adds, "The
doctor told me these calculations are based on the presumption that there are
no significant changes in my current lifestyle."

Consumer Case Study
Thousands of Americans report losing significant weight, in some cases
more than one hundred pounds, taking Xenadrine EFX as directed in conjunction
with routine exercise and balanced diet.
"After the holidays one season, I made a resolution to lose weight," said
38 year old John Orrett, a global exporter of Miami, FL. "I had ballooned up
to two hundred and ninety five pounds and I was huge," explained Orrett. He
says his local health food store owner recommended Xenadrine EFX. "It made me
feel motivated, it gave me energy, and it also helped me to suppress my
appetite without side effects," said Orrett. "Within three to four months, I
had lost 45 pounds, and within seven months I lost ninety five pounds," he
said. Orrett said he is keeping the weight-off by taking Xenadrine EFX as
directed, eating nutritious meals, exercising regularly and even competing in
triathlons and marathons.

Green Tea Extract
Green tea leaves grow on trees in Asia. After water, green tea is the
second most-consumed beverage worldwide. According to a mountain of medical
evidence, including a recent report from the University of Chicago, a specific
green tea extract, known as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), "has shown to
modulate appetite, control obesity and reduce cholesterol" in lab subjects.
Xenadrine EFX contains a precise EGCG compound, which is a powerful appetite
suppressant that increases energy and accelerates the body's metabolism,
enabling it to burn calories quickly.

Ephedra
Ephedra is an ancient Chinese medicinal root known as Ma Huang. There are
isolated claims that ephedra causes heart palpitations and strokes. The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration says there is no conclusive evidence that ephedra
is dangerous.
Ephedra was recently banned as a diet product in Canada. It is banned by
the International Olympic Committee, National Football League and National
Collegiate Athletic Association.
In 2003, California's ephedra heart-safety labeling law goes into effect.
Kansas, Nebraska and New York are considering similar laws. Sales of ephedra
diet supplements are banned at all U.S. Army base stores worldwide. Attorneys
in some states are filing lawsuits against a myriad of ephedra manufacturers
contending the diet products posed health risks to their clients.

Xenadrine EFX
Cytodyne Technologies, Inc. of Manasquan, NJ is the maker of Xenadrine EFX
and the complete Xenadrine diet supplement line. Xenadrine is America's number
one selling brand of diet products, because they work. Xenadrine is available
at Wal-Mart, GNC, thousands of chain and private drug stores nationwide and at
hundreds of natural foods, nutrition and vitamin shops across North America.
Cytodyne says Xenadrine EFX is part of a new generation of thermogenic
diet agents that it is now developing in response to consumers who want to
take ephedra-free products and still lose weight fast.
Pregnant or nursing women, children, people with cardiac, thyroid and
other conditions should not take any diet product without consulting their
physicians.

Looks good, but give me ECA any day

It's crap mate, just like all of the other non-ephedra 'fat-burners'

Personally I would look at Lean System 7 (very similar to the EFX). Another alternative would be SAN Tight which is getting lots of good feedback, i'm on it myself at the moment but am as yet undecided on it's effectiveness!

can someone fill me in... what is ECA?
everyone chats about it must of had my head in the sand

Lorian

ECA = Ephedrine/Caffeine/Aspirin

The combination of these 3 together have a synergistic effect which is extremely good at fat-burning.

Off the top of my head I cant remember the exact dosage, I think its 200mg Caffeine, 20mg Ephedrine and 300mg of Aspirin. Ideally taken 30 mins before an AM workout and another serving 30 mins before lunch.

Or MaHung for the ephedra
GotaCola for caffene
White Willow Bark for the Asprin.
That is the herbal rout.

I found xenadrine efx to be really good actually. Certainly feels strong when you take it. I never got on with eca, I hated ephredine it just made me feel sick. Xenadrine efx is the best fat burner I've taken. I haven't tried ls7 or san tight yet though. From feedback I've had though, xenadrine seems to be the most popular.

Many fat burners have been weak since ephredine was banned, but xenadrine certainly isn't. I cant take them on non workout days cos if I dont work the energy off in a training session I end up buzzing away all night, unable to sleep.
