Stacker 3 diet pills, made by NVE Pharmaceuticals, are designed to block fat absorption and increase the body's ability to burn fat according to Diets In Review.com. Diets In Review.com says that Stacker 3 contains other ingredients that claim to improve mental alertness and to increase energy and stamina.
History
Stacker 3 is the latest form of Stacker diet pills, and Stacker 3 replaces Stacker 2 which contained the now FDA-banned substance of ephedra. According to bodybuildingforyou.com, the main difference between Stacker 2 and 3 is the addition of chitosan into the ingredients for Stacker 3. The pills are designed to block fat and increase the body's ability to burn fat.
Benefits
The main benefit to using Stacker 3 is the product's ability to inhibit the body from storing fat, according to Diets In Review.com. In addition, the product is free of ephedra, which has been banned from use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Stacker 3 claims to use all natural ingredients including green tea, caffeine and grapefruit extract that are supposed to increase energy and stamina according to Diets In Review.com.
Risks/Side Effects
According to Bodybuildingforyou.com, Stacker 3 has risks and side effects that are similar to other fat burning pills. These include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, trouble sleeping and excitability, according to bodybuildingforyou.com. Other issues reported with Stacker 3 include headaches, light-headedness, dizziness, and nausea. It is important to remember that the claims and ingredients have not been evaluated by the FDA, so you should stop using the product if you have any of these symptoms.
Chitosan
Chitosan is the main ingredient in Stacker 3 and it is advertised as a fat blocker and burner. According to bodybuildingforyou.com, chitosan is a fiber derived from shellfish that is supposed to dissolve fats and cholesterols. However, there have been no human studies to test the effectiveness of chitosan in humans, but bodybuildingforyou.com notes that the fiber did show effective fat absorbing abilities in animals. There have been no long term tests on potential side effects of chitosan, but studies have shown the product to have cholesterol lowering properties according to bodybuildingforyou.com.
Future
The diet pill market is ever evolving and products change often because many of the ingredients are untested and unregulated. For instance, until the FDA banned ephedra in 2004, it was the main ingredient in fat burning diet pills. Companies quickly find new ingredients such as chitosan and start selling new pills, even though proper scientific research has not been conducted on the content. Bodybuildingforyou.com says that manufacturers see dollar signs and are too eager to bring untested products to the market.
