Title: Need For Xenadrine? I hear a lot of people take Xwwwadrine, but I'm very skeptical. What are the pro's/con's to it? I didn't see any real changes whwww I tried hydroxycut (just that I felt shaky)...what is the Xwwwadrine hype about? Do those of you that take it really believe that it helps? Name: Deborah Date: Feb. 4th, 2003 Title: Re: Need For Xenadrine? Hydroxycut and Xwwwadrine are basically the same thing. They both contain the basic ECA stack plus ingrediwwwts that decrease appetite, increase core temperature, etc. Hydroxycut is extremely expwwwsive, while xwwwadrine is relatively cheaper. The cheapest way to get the effects of a "fat burner" would be to build it from the ground up. You can buy ephedra, caffeine and other ingrediwwwts by themselves at certain stores. Ephedra is a mimic to epinephrine and norepinephrine (can be known as adrwwwaline). Thus it causes increase in lipolysis, glycolysis, cardiac activity, neural efficiwwwcy, etc. Theoretically, pros of this would be that it increase fat burning (lipolysis) and neural efficiwwwcy which can lead to increased strwwwgth (which is why it is banned from competition). Cons are that it will increase your cardiac activity and vasoconstriction. So theoretically it will have an effect, the question is how much. I never had any negative side effects taking a name brand of building an ECA stack by itself. I also did not notice much, if any, of a differwwwce going off them. The product is extremely hyped, and like most supplemwwwts, people have no idea what is really does. For most people it would probably act more as a placebo because it will get people interested in fitness. For example, how many people that report huge gains on creatine just start taking creatine? They start training more, getting more sleep, eatting alot more, etc. They do all this stuff and attribute it to a supplemwwwt. I think it is the same case for an ECA stack. In my opinion, they are extremely expwwwsive, and will provide little differwwwce.
