Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 18, 2012 Has anyone heard about the supplement. I picked some up from GNC yesterday, but am hesitating to even open the package after reading reviews on Amazon and GNC site. Is it dangerous for sleevers specifically? The reason I got it was two fold: looking for something to boost metabolism and GNC sort of pushed it on me describing it as being good for boosting metabolism. It is a stimulant and there are multiple warnings on it concerning not to go over a certain daily amount and to find your tolerance before increasing.

Lissa 2,631 Posted September 18, 2012 I'm personally opposed to stimulants in general, but I don't know anything about the one you're describing. What is the active ingredient? Caffeine? If so, I'd skip it, but only because I battled a serious caffeine/diet coke addiction pre-op. At any rate, you may want to run this product by your nut and surgeon to see what their opinion may be. How far post-op are you? Your metabolism is boosted just from the low amount of food you can eat post-op, so you may not need a booster anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks for the response. I am 2.5 months post-op and have done fairly well with loss so far ( 90 lb). I wanted to find something to help out more as i also am not looking to exercise as much as some have reported. Max I want to do is 1 hour a day and I plan on alternating between cardio and weight training in a week for up to 6 days a week. I have not started this plan yet. Today I generally walk daily for an hour briskly and there is some hill climbing. As for ingredients, Super HD has something called "Super HD nootropic and CNS Support blend." The number one ingredient is Caffeine Anhydrous at 160 mg. Second ingredient is N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine at 150 mg. No idea what this is. Third ingredient is Toothed Clubmoss at 2.5 mg. I thought that ingredient sounded interesting. Again, no idea what this is. There is also something called Thermo sculpting blend at 253 mg. The iFAS50 has a mixture of various leaf extracts, Tuber fleece flower, dandelion, red pepper fruit, etc, etc. There is also a B blend in it. I already take B12 and B50 supplements and Multivitamin has B Vitamins in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted September 18, 2012 I personally will not take any of those products. I have thought about it and decided to trust my sleeve. I have my trusty sleeve and it will help me not over eat. I choose to exercise now by walking and I have so much energy. I am actually beginning to love it. I've tried those things in the past and it never really helped at all. I work on eating healthy, organic when possible, and Protein first always. you are only 2.5 months out and if I got this correct, you are a guy and will lose your weight a lot faster than a lady. You got the advantage on this. Just be careful the substance isn't dangerous to you. I would hate to see you get sick by this stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 18, 2012 Should I return it unopened to GNC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
