While there are a lot of energy products on the market to help you keep up with the fast pace of life, most of them don't do much for you in terms of weight loss. Energy drinks such as Red Bull have more than 150 calories per can, with nearly 40 grams of sugar. That may encourage weight gain instead of weight loss. However, there are many low-calorie or calorie-free products that help you gain energy and burn fat. Be sure to consult with a doctor to find the one that will be most effective for you.
SlimQuick Energy
SlimQuick produces a number of diet products specially formulated for women's weight loss. This product comes in 2 oz. bottles and is designed to enhance energy and increase metabolism to spur fat burn. There are several ingredients that provide energy in SlimQuick Energy, such as vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12. In addition, SlimQuick Energy contains familiar stimulants such as caffeine and ginseng. SlimQuick Energy also includes L-tyrosine, an amino acid. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, L-tyrosine may help improve your exercise performance and encourage alertness.
Gaspari Nutrition Mitotropin
Mitotropin is an energy and fat loss product by Gaspari Nutrition, which manufactures a variety of supplements for bodybuilders and strength athletes. Like SlimQuick Energy, Mitotropin contains caffeine and L-tyrosine for energy and focus, but the formula includes many other ingredients as well. Among them are ginko biloba, huperzine, green tea extract and capsicum, also known as cayenne. Another key ingredient in Mitotropin is hordenine, which the fitness site Muscle & Strength claims can release stored fat for use as energy.
USP Labs Jacked
USP Labs Jacked is an energy powder that mixes with water so you can drink it slowly and, unlike with pills, you can control the release of energy. Compared to Mitotropin and SlimQuick Energy, Jacked has relatively few ingredients, including caffeine, creatine, beta-alanine, and geranium stem, also known as methylhexamine. Research indicates that in addition to improving energy, beta-alanine may help improve body composition. A February 2009 study from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found beta-alanine supplementation in conjunction with exercise increased lean mass more than exercise alone.
VPX Liquid Clenbutrx Hardcore
As the name indicates, this product is intended to deliver a surge of energy and accelerate fat loss as quickly as possible. For this reason, you may want to stay away from it if you are sensitive to stimulants. Liquid Clenbutrx Hardcore contains a number of strong stimulants, including caffeine, yohimbine and geranium oil. One key ingredient in this product is evodiamine, which may help reduce body fat. A study from the January 2008 issue of the journal Endocrinology found that evodiamine supplementation prevented weight gain in rats fed a high-fat diet. However, human research is limited, so this ingredient may not be effective for you.
