Review Summary
|
|
Fat Ignite is a weight loss supplement that works on stored fat. It is said to boost energy levels without the help of harmful stimulants like Ephedra.
This product is advertised as a “weight loss supplement, an effective appetite suppressant, herbal fat burner and energy booster”. Fat Ignite contains the thermogenic agent Bitter Orange which, as the website says, provides noticeable energy changes. At the same time, the site warns that the product is contraindicated for people with high blood pressure and heart or thyroid conditions, by pregnant or lactating women, and diabetics.
In this review, we will take a closer look at the Fat Ignite formula to find out whether its ingredients can really suppress appetite, increase weight loss and burn fat. |

Ingredients at a Glance
|
|
Citrus Aurantium which is commonly known as Bitter Orange, aids in curbing the appetite. It is a derivative of Ma Huang; Gurana has the same effects as caffeine and contains stimulant-like elements; Acetyl L-Carnitine converts food into energy and may help in the fat burning process; Chromium (Aspartate) is a nutrient used to eliminate sugars and fat throughout the digestive process.

Ingredients in Focus
|
|
Bitter Orange is a known appetite suppressant that may cause the blood pressure to increase or give rise to heart irregularities. When Ephedrine was banned in 2002, supplement manufacturers turned to Citrus Aurantium as an alternative. Guarana which comes from South America, is used as a caffeine substance and is added to soft drinks as a caffeine source. Guarana may also provide a boost in energy.
L-Carnitine naturally occurs in the body and is believed to function in breaking down fats and sugars from foods. It plays an important role in the release of energy from fat and is also used in a variety of healing treatments.
The ingredients included in the Fat Ignite formula are said to be safe with no component posing any health risk to product users. Several ingredients are derived from foods and when ingested as part of the diet, may provide the same results.

Website
|
|
Fat Ignite is said to take effect within half an hour after ingesting. The website repeatedly states that Fat Ignite is a powerful supplement that does not include stimulants.
As mentioned above, the ingredient Citrus Aurantium is a derivative of the Chinese herb Ma Huang. What is disturbing is that Ma Huang is the source of Ephedrine and Ephedra, with are known to cause dangerous side-effects. The manufacturers warn people with certain health risks against using their product. This caveat suggests that Fat Ignite might have stimulant-like effects on users.

Final Thoughts
|
|
Fat Ignite includes ingredients which may aid in weight loss. The product is being advertised as not containing any stimulant however, one of its ingredients is a Ma Huang derivative. This herb is also the source of the Ephedrine but with the ban on the latter, Bitter Orange became the widely used replacement.
Fat Ignite may promote weight loss as an appetite suppressant and energy booster for people who do not belong to the health risk group identified on the product website. There are now many similar products that create weight loss in the same manner and for a much lesser price, especially since Ephedrine was banned from the market.
