Working with only 1000mg is the issue for Elm and Rye fat burners, and unfortunately it may well be the case that they're better dosed for 2 capsules a day, but we can't recommend that due to no knowing the exact ingredients breakdown. That and the fat is that would make elm and rye supplements quite expensive as then we're hitting $140/month and compared to the likes of
Instant Knockout
which costs less than half, contains the correct dosages, but swaps Ashwagandha and Coleus for Glucomannan (which swells 50X larger in the stomach, to about the size of a bagel, supressing hunger), we couldn't recommend Elm and rye fat burner at that price point anyway.
B3, B6, B12 - B vitamins are quite a common inclusion in weight loss supplements, whilst they're not overly effective at "burning fat" with the exception of a couple of specific conditions. However, they are important for maintaining high energy levels when you're restricting calories. When we diet we subconsciously move less, lowering our natural calorie burn. B vitamins giving you an energy boost can help mitigate this rather than doing anything to "boost metabolism" as is often marketed. Still a good inclusion and requires very low amounts of space in the pill. Good ingredient.
Caffeine - Caffeine is another classic, and in a similar vein to the b vitamins above it helps keep energy levels high. Caffeine has a lot of other benefits when it comes to losing weight. It functions as an appetite suppressant for several hours after taking it, and lastly it does actually boost metabolism, although the latter fact is the least important when compared to the other impacts it has in elm & rye's fat burning pill. It's likely to be in a high enough dose, we'd expect more than 100mg based on the placement in the ingredients list, and the fact that a few of the negative elm and rye fat burner reviews list side effects we'd expect from a dosage that high. Most people this should be fine, and it's particularly good for a mens fat burner, could be a slightly too high dosage for women. That said, it's a good inclusion.
L Theanine - Another OK inclusion here, quite likely within it's recommended dose of 200mg although it's safe up to 900mg. In theory it can reduce appetite, although it's more effective in a liquid form as it has an umami flavour which has been shown to reduce appetite more effectively than as a capsule.
Green Coffee Extract - Green Coffee Extract does seem to work as a weight loss supplement based on the excising studies, although the effect isn't huge we are talking a couple of percentage points. There's nothing wrong with it's inclusion aside from the fact that it's a b tier ingredient and elm & rye fat burner only has 1000mg to work with, in multipill supplements it's fine. However, here it's OK.
Green Tea Extract - Green Tea Extract is very similar to green coffee extract and as a result we'd have liked to have seen something else in elm & rye fat burner, perhaps capsaicin would've been a better inclusion due to the minimal capsule space. It should still help you lose weight.
Ashwagandha - Ashwagandha is part of what makes elm & rye fat burner unique. It makes it into a lot of stress supplements and even mens muscle building supplements as it does have an impact on muscle mass, improves sleep and reduces cortisol. However, we do expect that the dosage is perhaps a little low for this effect based on it's placement, ideally we'd like to see it over 300mg, although it could still be around 200mg which could still have an impact, particularly for older men dealing with recent weight gain as t levels drop with age due to it helping improve sex hormone production.
Rhodolia - This is another odd one for the elm & rye fat burner, it's great for aiding sleep and reducing stress, but it's not really an ingredient aimed for weight loss. It does also have some use as a brain health supplement, but that's not really what we're after in a fat burner.
Coleus Forkosli - Unfortunately coleus forkosli is an ingredient that would only really have a positive effect for men, it's not really good for much aside from raising testosterone levels, which does help shift excess body fat, but the evidence for that is a little weak.
