If you have a slow metabolism, have hit a plateau in your weight loss, or just struggle to shed pounds, you may find a fat burning supplement to be beneficial for you. These pills contain ingredients intended to increase your metabolism, block the formation of fat, enhance fat burning and help you lose weight. However, the ingredients in fat-burning pills vary widely, so not all of them will have identical effects. To find the right fat burner pill for you, be sure to research the ingredients of each product and consult a medical professional regarding safety and effectiveness.

TapouT Sports Nutrition Take Down Fat Burner

TapouT Sports Nutrition's Take Down Fat Burner contains a variety of ingredients purported to enhance fat burning and weight loss. The product contains three different ingredient blend: one targeted at increasing your metabolism to stimulate calorie burning and two for improving your energy levels and focus, which may help you work out longer and burn more calories. Among the ingredients in Take Down Fat Burner are the amino acid taurine, green tea extract and caffeine. According to MayoClinic.com, caffeine may have a number of weight loss benefits, including acting as an appetite suppressant and a diuretic, meaning it flushes water out of your body, reducing your weight.

Fahrenheit Nutrition Lean EFX

Like Take Down, Fahrenheit Nutrition's Lean EFX does not contain just one compound, but a number of distinct ingredients, each purported to promote fat burning in one way or another. Be careful--this supplement lists caffeine as 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, so you might not notice it and assume this is stimulant-free, but it isn't. Other ingredients in Lean EFX include N-acetyl tyrosine, bitter orange and ginseng. According to the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, ginseng may address a variety of health issues, including high blood sugar and some heart conditions. In addition, the organizations note that ginseng is often used to promote stamina, but research results are mixed on this topic.

Palo Alto Labs Leviathan Reloaded

Palo Alto Labs' Leviathan Reloaded is a product that claims to promote increases in muscle mass in addition to reductions in body fat. Like many other fat burners, Leviathan Reloaded contains caffeine and yohimbine, but there are also less common ingredients in this formula. The use of tyramine, hordenine, coleus forskohlii and tribulus terrestris make Leviathan Reloaded unusual. The coleus forskohlii produces effects similar to ephedrine, according to Real Solutions magazine. This ingredient may help you lose fat because it stimulates your hormones to burn fat and also stimulates thyroid function, which may increase your body's metabolism and burn calories.
