The name pretty much says it all. Fat Assassin is a weight loss supplement designed to eliminate fat. It is advertised as a Hoodia-based product. Hoodia is a popular appetite suppressant which curbs appetite and reduces food cravings. It is a way for dieters to better control their caloric intake by reducing hunger and the desire to eat.

Going on a diet offers a lot of benefits—weight loss, reduced girth sizes, improved self-esteem as well as better health. Being overweight and obese on the other hand, may give rise to serious ailments such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In this review, we will be taking a close look at this product’s formula to find out if it would perform as advertised.

The “P57” molecule in Hoodia is responsible for its appetite suppressing properties. It is believed that “P57” sends a signal to the brain that the stomach is already full even if it isn’t. This enables dieters to reduce their caloric intake without having to actively fight off the urge to binge or overeat.

Hoodia has become such a sensation that it has been featured on syndicated programs such as 20/20, Oprah and the BBC News, and in magazines and radio broadcasts. Because the demand for the product is high, it would not be surprising if some companies take advantage by using low quality sources of Hoodia and in very small amounts.

We found it strange that the website does not have a facts panel on display or even just the product label during the time of review. Many dieters would probably feel disappointed because there is no way to find out what it contains save for having the actual bottle itself.

The dosage instructions and the possible side-effects of a weight supplement matters a great deal as it sometimes requires a certain degree of change in a dieter’s lifestyle. This is the reason why some people prefer to know the exact components of a given formula. There are some ingredients that are simply ineffective, while others are known for inducing side-effects and other adverse reactions.

Fat Assassin claims to be able to make a person “look sexy naked”. It is promoted to be one of the higher-quality weight loss formulas on the market. Although it is great that it contains Hoodia, we feel that a formula that contains this potent appetite suppressant plus the fat burner Advantra-Z® is far superior.

There are many fat burners, thermogenic agents or metabolism enhancers that work well but none of them can match the effectiveness of formulas that contain Advantra-Z®. This patented version of Bitter Orange Extract contains the stimulant, Synephrine which burns fat at exceptionally high rates.
