One cause of excess weight is the inability of the body to convert carbohydrates and fats into energy and it most likely be stored or accumulated as unsightly fatty layers. We can blame it on the sedentary lifestyle one may lead, the unhealthy food choices and some are merely unlucky to have it in their genes.

In this light, dieters and weight watchers who are tied up on a busy working schedule would rather prefer to have a weight loss product or supplement that would address their weight-related problem. In this review, we will take a closer look on a weight loss supplement that claims to have a fat-killing effect.

The weight loss supplement Zyatrim does not limit its effect to just shrinking the fat cells but completely killing them. It is said to have three major benefits:

• First, it enhances the metabolic rate which meant burning fats stored in the body;
• Second, it creates a “dramatic weight loss” which actually means an enhanced release of norepinephrine and dopamine; and
• Lastly, it provides “extreme energy” without the jittery effects.

The manufacturer for Zyatrim claims that this weight loss supplement is composed of only natural ingredients but this does not necessarily mean that it’s safe. It can be remembered that an herb known as Ephedra has great fat burning effects but later on found out to induce some adverse effects such as headaches, vomiting, heart-related illnesses and for severe cases even death.

There are five compounds that constitute the proprietary blend for Zyatrim which is known as Apopadex. The major ingredient is said to be the Acacia Rigidula which we have found out to refer to a large tree. It is said to produce alkaloids of norephinephrine sources that has some effects for one’s mood and appetite.

Other ingredients include Methylsynephrine, Phenylethylamine HCL, Cassis Nomame Extract, Theobromine, Yohimbe and ECGC. The latter ingredient is an extract from green tea which is known to contain caffeine.

Based from the website it has provided thorough information on how Zyatrim would work in terms of weight loss and an FAQ for the formulation it has used. It also offers a 60-day money back guarantee if consumers would find the product ineffective. Even though it has caffeine content, the manufacturer claims that there are no side effects such as jitteriness with this weight loss product.

It also offers a free trial package, but it was not clarified as to what are the terms and conditions involved in it. Furthermore, Zyatrim has not yet obtained an FDA approval.

The manufacturers for Zyatrim claim that this weight loss supplement is made of all-natural ingredients but as mentioned earlier not all that are labeled as natural are safe. It would be wise to choose a weight loss supplement that has been approved by the FDA to ensure that they have passed clinical trials and had researches to back up their claims of efficacy.



In this light, we found a fat burning ingredient in the form of the patented bitter orange extract, Advantra-Z. It has been proven through clinical testing that it is indeed efficient in terms of inducing a thermogenic effect for the body. This means enhancing body heat that would result in higher metabolic rates.

This would also work well with the potent appetite suppressant Hoodia Gordonii, an herb which has been long utilized by South African tribesmen. Whenever they would set off on long journeys and hunting they would bring a hefty amount of this herb and it was enough to sustain their hunger pangs.
