Rx6: Does It Live Up To The Hype?

Okay – what is the hype on Rx6?  Does it sound too good to be true?  Taken from the official website:  ” Rx6 is a Adipose Tissue Metabolic Regulator and is a new, significantly stronger, version of the weight loss formula that helped put us on the map. It is designed to help you lose weight with an over-the-top ultra concentrated built in energy mechanism.  Rx6  contains an entirely new ingredient that based on scientific research has been shown to significantly reduce adipose, control food intake and effectively control weight evolution.  Every one capsule dose provides 725mgs of ripped, defined, thermogenic activity.”

How Does Rx6 Work?

The makers of Rx6 claim that you will have an increase in energy which in turn will help you want to exercise more, eat less, rev-up your metabolism thus helping you burn fat or excess adipose tissue (a fancy phrase for fat – any fat in your body). The company claims that Rx6 will zero in on your problem area of fat, but it is not explained how or why that will happen.  Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients to see if you can discover our own answers.

Rx6 Ingredient Highlights

• Thiamine Sulfide – - A lack of thiamine can be caused by foods that are high in anti-thiamine factors like coffee, tea or heavy caffeine consumption.  It appears that Rx6 may contain Thiamine to combat Thiamine deficiency due to the high caffeine content of the product.

• Caffeine – may reduce your desire to eat for a brief time, but there’s not enough evidence to show that long-term consumption aids weight loss. Caffeine may stimulate thermogenesis — one way your body generates heat and energy from digesting food.  But this probably isn’t enough to produce significant weight loss.

• Ilex Guayusa Leaf – in addition to caffeine, guayusa also contains theobromine, a stimulant commonly found in chocolate, and L-theanine, a glutamic acid analog found in guayusa that has been shown to reduce physical and mental stress.

• Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf – contains the glycoside arbutin, which has antimicrobial properties and acts as a mild diuretic. It has been used for urinary tract complaints.

• 6-Gingerol – may reduce nausea caused by motion sickness or pregnancy and may also relieve migraine headache.

• Pausinystalia Yohimbe Bark – According to one study, oral yohimbine supplementation may actuate significant fat loss in athletes. Numerous bodybuilding supplement companies sell formulations of yohimbine for transdermal delivery to effect a local reduction of adipose tissue, although the experimental evidence for its efficiency is limited.

Rx6 Side Effects

One capsule (1 dose) of Rx6 contains as much caffeine as three to four cups of coffee!  The official website says that one should not take more than 3 capsules per day.  I should say so….  three capsules would be a total of 1320 mg of caffeine.  Mild caffeine consumption causes short term side-effects such as:  headache, nausea, and anxiety. Research has shown links between heavy caffeine consumption and osteoporosis, high blood pressure, heart disease, heart burn, ulcers, severe insomnia and infertility.

Should You Try Rx6?

No, we would not recommend it.  First, it is expensive – the ingredients are mostly caffeine related.  You can buy straight caffeine pills for much less than $48.99 a bottle.  Second, caffeine alone is just not going to help you lose weight and keep it off.  You will have energy, but what happens when the half-life of the caffeine dose is burned out?  You will be too.  And usually when we feel burned out and tired, we eat.  Look for a diet supplement that will support your weight loss efforts.  Find a hardcore fat burner with less side effects that you can live that will help you reach your weight loss goals; all while you take time to wake up, and smell the coffee.
