Cutting Gel (Read everyone)

It's a gel that you rub on a specific body part, and if you rub it on that part for a week or so you should be able to burn some fat from their. Then you change it up and put in on another body part. So who has tried it, and does it work well ? As for the others, what do you think of this product ?

There have been products like it in the past and they were bogus. I also saw on the news where some company is selling panty hose that is supposed to hlep the ladies lose fat. It has a chemical on it called theophelin, not sure about that spelling,but I do know it is used to treat asthma. As for fat burning I'm pretty sure thats a load of crap. You have to be careful because the supplement industry can say about anything they please without much to back it up. I think I'd keep my cash in my pocket on that one for a while.

skeld2001 Posts: 271 Joined: 2001/02/10	2001/03/11, 10:48 AM I'm looking at the ad for the stuff right now in M&F. OOUUCCHH!!!$89.00 bucks for a 30 day supply! Yeah billk it claims to be a transdermal gel. Active ingredient is called epidril.Says it helps mobilize surface fat on contact. Seems to claim visable results in 10 days. I'm gonna do a little search on this and see if I can pin down some facts. If it sounds to good to be true....hmmmm

The ads say it melts the fat and sends it into the blood stream. Even if thats true, would that be a good thing? It's gotta land somewhere don't it? I mean I'm no prodigy or anything but one thing that makes fat bellies hazardous to your health is the fact that the fat has easy access to your blood stream via the intestine. Just a thought..??

If this stuff really works, without side effects, that would be a very cool product. A lot of people have those sticky spots that seem to resist the efforts they make to rid themselves of fat.
sfolk Posts: 15 Joined: 2001/02/16	2001/03/15, 11:10 AM This stuff won't work. The active ingredient in it is aminophylline which is used as an asthma medication. Aminophylline works by blocking an enzyme called phosphodiesterase. This causes an increase in tissue concentrations of cAMP which in turn promotes catacholamine stimulation of lipolysis among other things. This is the basis for the product's claims. These aminophylline creams and gels were popular a couple of years ago when they were marketed as a cellutie remover. There was some slight smoothing of the cellulite but they really did not work all that well.In my opinion they are not worth the cost.

As an obituary for Mr. Cutting Gel I'd just like to ad a few words to help those who are expeiencing a time of grief over the untimely passing of our latest sports supplement hype. To everyone unexprienced with the industry. They will tell you any thing to sell their product! Your mother told you that "if it sounds to good to be true it most likely is" Consumer Affairs told you buyer beware! And we all told you to keep your money in your pocket and don't but it! R.I.P.
