Hot Rox - Biotest Hot Rox Review

Biotest Hot Rox claims to be:

• the newest and most unique fat loss phenomenon
• more effective at burning off body fat than anything that's ever been on the market
• unlike ephedra-based formulas, it doesn't down-regulate beta-receptor sites and become ineffective over time (Hot Rox made ephedra obsolete)
• Hot Rox also increases protein synthesis and the natural production of anabolic substrates (may actually help to preserve or even build muscle mass)
• metabolic benefits are sustained, around the clock, week after week, as long as you continue to take the formula

Holy sh*t, Batman! That's alot of claims Hot Rox is making. Could Hot Rox possibly be the "best" fat loss supplement on the market right now? Let's find out.

First of, Hot Rox does NOT contain ephedra, which is a plus; however, lets see what ingredients they use. Below are the ingredients in Hot Rox:

*Hot Rox (mg) 950

Ingredient Details:
*Hot Rox Thermogenic Blend: n-acetyl-l-tyrosine, mdx complex (3,17 dihydroxy-delta-5-etiocholane-7-one diethylcarbonate, sclaremax, guggulsterone z, guggulsterone e), caffeine, 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan

Hot Rox Ingredient Details

Couldn't figure out what half the stuff are in Hot Rox? No problem. Let find out.

MDX complex - Biotest introduces 2 new compounds that are the driving force behind Hot Rox: 1) A7-E and 2) sclaremax, and add in guggulsterone, you get what Biotest calls their MDX complex in hot rox. So, what the heck are A7-E, sclaremax and Guggulsterone?

Guggulsterone is nothing new, but the A7-E is a completely new fat loss compound developed by Biotest with a patent being filed, and sclaremax is found in a plant called Salvia Sclarea. sclaremax acts as a potent adenylate cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) from ATP (cAMP serves as an important metabolic regulator). Confused enough yet? No worries, we'll get to all this in due time... Keep reading.

A7-E: A7-E in Hot Rox was developed by Bill Roberts for the main purpose of boosting T3 levels without suppressing the Thyroid Stimulation Hormone (TSH). So why increase T3 levels? When T3 levels are low, lipase activity is hindered - meaning that the activity of enzymes which breaks down of fats into glycerol and fatty acid is reduced.

It's a well documented fact that when 7 Keto DHEA is combined with guggulsterones, helps greatly to boost T3 levels. 7 Keto DHEA has been shown to increase T3 by up to 30% without suppressing TSH. 7 Keto DHEA is a key ingredient in another fat burner called Lean System 7 - you can read about 7 Keto DHEA in some detail in this article with some studies of 7 Keto DHEA.

Guggulsterones helps with conversion of T4 in T3 - so you can see how combining 7 Keto DHEA and Guggulsterone can help to boost T3 levels greatly.

However, the problem Biotest realized is that 7 Keto DHEA has a short active life, and its bioavailability isn't high enough - which led to the development of what they call A7-E. In short, A7-E has much longer active life, and greater bioavailability than 7 Keto DHEA, making it the ideal compound to go with Guggulsterones.

If you're confused... In a nut shell, what all this means is that with the use of A7-E and guggulsterones >> T3 levels get a major boost >> leading to greater lipase activity >> leading to increased break down of fats!

Biotest Hot Rox - A7-E

So, it sounds pretty darn good on paper about the combination of A7-E and guggulsterones doesn't it? The only problem I see with this is that A7-E still lacks studies documenting its effectiveness, and I've been unable to find any studies done on A7-E. One thing for sure though, is that 7 Keto DHEA is well studied and documented in its effectiveness in increasing T3 and helping with weight loss - so if A7-E lives up to what it claims to be compared to 7 Keto DHEA, it could turn out to be the next big thing in the weight loss industry - as Biotest claims "We've made ephedra obsolete!" ;-)
