Stacker 3 is a type of fat burner pill, which is the follow-up to Stacker 2. Both were created by NVE Pharmaceuticals. Stacker 3 is intended to help you lose weight by burning fat and boosting your energy levels, but not all of these claims have proven to be accurate. Negative side effects are associated with taking Stacker 3 as a dietary supplement, and you should talk over these risks with your doctor prior to supplementing your diet.

Ingredients

Stacker 3 Fat Burner contains a combination of artificial and all-natural ingredients. According to DietsinReview.com, Stacker 3 contains kola nut, cactus extract, white willow bark, grapefruit extract, chitosan, caffeine, green tea, guarana and garcinia as its main ingredients. This third version of Stacker promotes the addition of chitosan, which is the primary difference between Stacker 2 and Stacker 3. Those with allergies to any of these ingredients should avoid taking this product.

Chitosan

Chitosan is a fiber taken from shellfish. Its supposed purpose as a dietary supplement and active ingredient in Stacker 3 is to grab hold of fat in your body and remove it from your system. According to Bodybuildingforyou.com, this claim isn't true. As of 2010, no studies have tested the effects of chitosan on humans; it's only been done on animals. Because chitosan is derived from shellfish, those allergic to any type of seafood should avoid taking Stacker 3.

Side Effects

Stacker 3 capsules contain energy boosting properties, such as caffeine and other all-natural ingredients, which may cause some people to become jittery, weak, nauseous or nervous. Taken around bedtime, Stacker 3 may hinder your ability to fall asleep. The manufacturer does not recommend people under 18 or women who may be pregnant take Stacker 3 due to the supplement's possible side effects.

Product Information

One negative aspect of Stacker 3 is the fact that the full product ingredient list is not available at the official website, according to DietSpotlight.com. Furthermore, the official website does not offer customer testimonials, scientific evidence of its effectiveness and doesn't offer a 100-percent money-back guarantee. There's also no free trials offered by the manufacturer, so you cannot try it before you buy it.

Price

The cost of Stacker 3 may outweigh the benefits claimed by the manufacturer. As of 2010, prices at online retailers for a 100-count bottle of Stacker 3 capsules were as high as $29.99. When taking the suggested recommended dosage of one capsule after each meal --- a maximum of three capsules daily --- that's only about a one month supply. Over the course of a year, that equates to over $300 for a product that is not scientifically proven to work as advertised.
