Ephedra is a stimulant which has been proven to increase metabolism, thus leading to weight loss. However, due to the serious side effects of ephedra, it has been banned by the FDA. However, it is still available on the internet. Side effects from ephedra include irritability, dizziness, headache, insomnia, perspiration, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, stroke, or death. This Stimerex-ES review finds you should educate yourself on the effects of ephedra if you are considering taking it.

Citrus Aurantium contains synephrine. One study performed in December of 2007 looked at the lipolysis (fat loss) effects of Satsuma mandarin orange (Citrus unshu Mark) peel on the fat cells of rats (I know, it’s always rats). A high concentration of Synephrine was present in the peel and lipoloysis effects were present.

The overall conclusion

These results suggest that the segment wall, an edible fraction, from Satsuma mandarin orange might be useful as a functional food, especially as a fat-reducing material ((J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo). 2008 Dec;53(6):547-51.))

Acacia Rigidula is included in many diet pills. However, there is no scientific evidence showing it contributes to weight loss.

Phenethylamine is an alkaloid that functions as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Some people call Phenetyhlamine “The Love Drug” because it is included in chocolate but the question arises as to the validity of that claim because Pheneythlamine is metabolized so quickly, it’s doubtful that any significant amount would reach the brain quickly enough to cause an effect. More human research is needed on phenethylamine.

Green tea is an ingredient which has been proven to contribute to weight loss.

Yohimbine comes from the bark of an African evergreen tree. It has been shown to increase fatty acid mobilization. It is also used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Caffeine has been shown to contribute to increased metabolic function and we readily support it as long as you pay attention to your own body’s reaction to it. There are a minority of people that react too much toward caffeine and are asking for sleepless nights if they ingest too much of it. Note: Don’t be impressed; Caffeine anhydrous is simply dehydrated caffeine.

How much does Stimerex-ES cost?

If you purchase Stimerex-ES diet pills on the manufacturer’s website (Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals) you will pay $69.95 for 90 capsules. You can find it online for $39.95. If you take the recommended dosage of three capsules per day, one bottle will last one month. At $1.33 per day, Stimerex-ES isn’t especially expensive, but because of the “Proprietary Blend”, there is no way to know if this product really is effective.

Is there a guarantee with Stimerex Thermo Rx?

The Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals website (Stimerex Thermo Rx manufacturer) explains that they give refunds only if the product is unopened and is returned within 30 days. Shipping fees are not refunded. In other words, if you buy one bottle, try it, and it makes you sick or something, you don’t get a refund. The only way you could get a refund is if you bought multiple bottles, opened one, but sent the other back. This is the classic no-guarantee guarantee.

Stimerex-ES Conclusion

This Stimerex-ES review finds we cannot recommend this product for the following reasons: 1) Stimerex-ES diet pills contain ephedra, which has been banned by the FDA. It has been classified as a dangerous ingredient. 2) Stimerex-ES does contain some proven ingredients, but they fail to tell how much of each ingredient is included. We recommend looking for a diet pill which contains safe, proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.
