Products like hydroxycut

brucsmit Posts: 5 Joined: 2002/02/19	2002/03/20, 11:39 PM just got a question...I live in Canada and I've just learned that all ephedra containing supplements have been taken off the market. Does anyone know of any products that have the results like hydroxycut but contain no ephedra ? thanks

I'm sure you could find it too. Other products? Look at "natural" fat burners in the stores. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

I have nothing against it but, if its a life concerning thing, funny how they still keep products such as cigarettes which kill more thousands of people a year..... -------------- ======== ...frank

You don't know the best thou; flax seed oil, kawa kawa, millepertuis, soy lecithine, gingko biloba, some chromium etc are also illegal selling here..... Hmmm..... maybe I should move to the States? At least I'll be able to have my own choice of what I want to buy there. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

You also might look from EAS Phen-Free. It is supposed to be pretty good, and one of these days I might even get around to buying some! ;) -------------- "Do not try. Do. Or do not.

Not that I am too dissappointed, I really wasn't that sure about ephredrine in the first place, but I need help getting some weight off fast. Anyway the dosage is 4 pills (instead of three) and the Supplement Facts read: Chromium 300mcg Hydroxtgen 2000mg Guarana Extract 910mg (waiter, I'll have an expresso to go Thanks) Citrus Aurantium 300mg Salicin Aurantium 100mg (purple and white willow bark - Yum) L-Carnitine 100mg Anyway, I will give it go. Leslie, how does this compare to the Beverly Nutrition product. And after reading and reading previous posts, I will up my cardio work to include sessions after weight training). If this doesn't work, nothing will!!

Most now have Green Tea as their main "fat burner" though. You won't likely find the ephedra-based products at your local GNC or health food store, certainly not the drug store - but if you have a gym nearby that also sells supplements, you can usually buy "under the counter". I drive an hour to get all my supplements - protein, creatine fatburners...everything... even with the drive it's still cheaper for me.
