Editors' Top Pick of 2012
Do we ever rate a diet pill positively? Yes. Although it's rare, there are a few diet pills that meet our strict recommendation requirements. Why don't we recommend Synedrex? We're looking for clinically proven ingredients, money back guarantees and low prices. Apidexin is our favorite. You can read our review or go to the official site.
Synedrex
Pharmaceutical Lypolytic Complex
Synedrex, a professional-sounding diet pill from Metabolic Nutrition, touts itself as “pharmaceutical”. Apparently they don’t know what that means as it definitely can’t be found in a pharmacy. In any case, it claims to be the world’s first 4-step metabolic accelerator in that it:
1. Increases caloric burn
2. Stimulates energy levels
3. Controls carbohydrates
4. Controls hunger
As sexy as “world’s first” sounds, the first two mean essentially the same thing and none of the 4 points are unique to this pill. What does this product really have to offer for $52?
Synedrex Formula
- Vitamin B6 – 7 mg
- Vitamin B12 – 200 mcg
- Chromium – 350 mcg
- Caffeine – 350 mg
- Carcinia Cambogia – 230 mg
- Meridextrine – 200 mg
- L-Tyrosine – 160 mg
- L-Carnitine Tartrate – 120 mg
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose – 100 mg
- Cocoa – 40 mg
- 5-HTP – 2 mg
- Simmondsin – 2 mg
The truth is that this product has a TON of caffeine. 350 mg of caffeine combined with other ingredients here could prove extremely agitating to even the most caffeine tolerant person. It will boost your metabolism and increase energy temporarily, but doesn’t set this product apart. The inclusion of some vitamins, carnitine, tyrosine, and cocaa are not bad additions, but unlikely to add a lot more to the effect of the caffeine here. It’s basically like an energy drink in pill form. The 100 mg of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose you should know is just filler and bonding material that does nothing for you health wise.
Synedrex Conclusion
Generally this is a very average product with an above-average amount of caffeine. You are very likely to see side effects such as jitteriness and/or insomnia from taking this. It may give you energy for some workouts but there are cheaper ways to get caffeine. I do not recommend Synedrex.
