Pyrulean (Pyruvate and other stuff) I have not personally read any scientific studies on fat burners but EAS has one and they claim after studies that they work...time will tell. I believe there are two many variables in our lifestyles to isolate if they work or don't.

The truth has been said many times before. "If you take to much of a good thing it will hurt you." So don't abuse your supps. ~billk~

These stimulants may actually decrease your appetite, and may increase your calorie burn over a short period; but they also just mask fatigue and do nothing to increase your basal metabolic rate. In fact, repeated use of stimulants can actually cause your metabolic rate to decrease because they have a diuretic effect on your body..thus increasing your chances of dehydration. Stimulants can also increase production of stress hormones that will convert muscle tissue into glucose in order to raise sugar levels.
