Xenadrine
NRG 8 Hour Review
Cytodyne Xenadrine NRG 8 Hour
Long after the discontinuation of the original flagship
product Xenadrine RFA-1, Cytodyne Technologies finally
came out with a new energy boosting and fat burning
product called Xenadrine NRG 8 Hour Power. With the
FDA ban of ephedra and all ephedrine based fat burners,
some of the most effective diet pills has been pulled
off the market. With the weight loss industry being
a multi-billion dollar industry, you can imagine the
loss in sales for manufacturers. It would be my guess
that Xenadrine NRG 8 Hour was formulated to make up
for some of that lost sales. ;-)
Cytodyne calls Xenadrine
NRG as the "next generation in energy and
weight loss products", and "new 8-hour Power
Xenadrine-NRG is a revolutionary new extended-release
energy supplement... and then keep on working to maintain
those levels for up to 8 full hours." It claims
to take effect within just 30minutes, and will last
for up to 8 hours - hence the name "Xenadrine
NRG 8 Hour Power".
So does Xenadrine NRG really work and what does actual
users say about it? Let's find out. First, we take
a look at the ingredients.
Xenadrine NRG 8 Hour Ingredients
At first glance, Xenadrine NRG 8 Hour Power looks
like a pretty standard lineup of ingredients - you
got your caffeine, green tea, tyrosine, etc...
What cytodyne dubs as a "perfect ratio of herbs,
amino acids, and vitamins." At a closer look,
I see an unfamiliar ingredient called Norambrolide.
Curious what it is and what it does, I did some digging.
Norambrolide - this is also called
"fermented Salvia sclarea leaf extract".
Ahh... now it doesn't look so unfamiliar after all!
Salvia sclarea is a key ingredient used in another
very popular fat burner Biotest
Hot Rox (click to read its review).
Salvia Sclarea, is a potent adenylate cyclase activator
- meaning that it increases the enzyme action of forming
cylic AMP (cAMP - cyclic adenosine monophosphate)
from ATP. What's the deal with cAMP? Increased cAMP
increases lipolysis - or the breakdown of fat.
How does this new ingredient Norambrolide compared
with ephedra? First, they have completely different
mechanism of action, and second, I tend to think it'll
be a pretty big miracle if the weight loss industry
can really come up with something new & legal,
that's as effective as ephedra. Honestly, I couldn't
find any research done on this ingredient called Norambrolide
and its effectiveness on weight loss... Regardless,
Salvia Sclarea shows some promise, but we'll have
to take a wait and see attitude. ;-)
