Stimulant Free Fat Burners Buying Guide

Stimulant free fat burners are often considered the safer, less effective alternative to their ephedrine -based fat burner brethren.  Because stimulants--popular for speedy weight loss  and appetite suppression --often cause side effects like increased heart rate and the jitters, their use has been popularly discouraged (and even banned) by the medical community.   These drugs even have been pegged as a gateway to anorexia if abused, and consequently, stimulant free alternatives have gained momentum in the dieting world.

Common Ingredients

If you look at the labels of some of the top stimulant free fat burners, most of them contain many of the same ingredients.  Where you'll see the biggest divergence is between all natural  products and mainstream fat burners.

  • Potassium, chromium, calcium, and green tea extract are used both separately and in combination with one another to decrease levels of blood sugar and reduce the amount of fat stored in the cells of the body.
  • Choline, inositol, and methionin help the liver properly metabolize fat.
  • Synephrine is derived from the rind of the Seville orange to increase metabolic rate and encourage fat breakdown.
  • Guggulsterones help regulate the thyroid gland.
  • Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a non-essential fatty acid that encourages fat breakdown.
  • Fiber aids in blood sugar regulation.
  • 7-OH (7-alpha-hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone) helps keep muscle gained during training and keeps fat off.
  • Cayenne and ginger enhance digestion and moderate the burning of fat and glycogen. 
  • Hoodia Extract is a root extract that helps to suppress the appetite.
