Weight loss supplements for men should target their specific physiological makeup by triggering increased production of fat burning hormones such as HGH, epinephrine and noriepinephrine. Fat burner products combine ingredients that may speed metabolism, boost the thyroid gland, suppress appetite and free fatty acids for use as fuel for your body. Many of these products contain high amounts of caffeine and other stimulants and therefore should not be taken by those at risk for heart disease. Fat burners may allow you to lose weight faster than with diet and exercise alone.
Animal Cuts
Universal's Animal Cuts is for weight loss through fat burning, metabolic accelerators, thyroid boosters, hunger suppressants, cortisol-inhibitors and even diuretics. The potent combination of green tea and caffeine increases your metabolic rate even at rest, according to "Homemade Supplement Secrets."
Oxy Elite Pro
USP Labs' Oxy Elite Pro fat burner contains novel fat burning compounds and only 100 mg of caffeine per capsule, much lower than other products. According to "The Cortisol Connection," too much caffeine can increase production of the hormone cortisol, which inhibits fat burning and promotes fat storage. OxyElite was formulated by a pharmacist for extreme weight loss results.
DREN
MHP's DREN product is a simple formula, combining caffeine, 5-HTP, beta methoxyphenylethylamine and yohimbine. According to "Supplements 101," 5-HTP can help to suppress appetite due to its conversion to serotonin in the body.
Lipo 6
Nutrex's original fat burning product won the BodyBuilding.com Fat Loss Product of the Year Award 2005 through 2008. The potent formula combines synephrine, guggelsterones, yohimbine and caffeine, which are effective fat loss ingredients, according to "Muscle & Fitness: The Ultimate Supplement Handbook."
Lipo 6 Black
Lipo 6 Black is the newest Nutrex fat burner and the strongest one to date. It contains thyroid hormone precursors, three forms of yohimbine and phenylethylamine and two forms of synephrine and caffeine. These potent stimulants increase levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine to burn more fat, according to "Supplements 101."
Mitotropin
Gaspari Nutrition's companion product to Cytolean V2, Mitotropin is the stronger of the two and comes with a 30-day kit, complete with diet and training suggestions to help you reach your goals faster. This product contains the caffeine and green tea, recommended by "Homemade Supplement Secrets" for fat burning.
Cytolean V2
This rebooted Cytolean product from Gaspari Nutrition contains green tea, phenylethylamine and a form of 7-keto, which may enhance thyroid output to burn more fat, according to "Supplements 101." Cytolean is meant to be stacked with Mitotropin to give your adrenal glands a break from the higher stimulant product, which can increase cortisol production, limiting fat loss, according to Talbott's book "The Cortisol Connection."
