Aside from the obvious issue about it being unsafe, and damaging to your liver that is. Which is enough reason to AVOID this product.
Fat-burning supplement research has been going on for many
decades, so we have come to realise what works and what doesn't in an effective
fat-burning product.
For a product that claims to give you more energy, boost
your metabolic rate, curb food cravings, and make fat loss a more
straightforward process, F-Brn Komplex makes many bold claims but fails to live
up to any of them.
What is evident from looking at the ingredient list for
F-Brn Komplex is that it is missing the most effective, well-researched and
proven ingredients that go into the better fat-burning brands on the market.
For example, it doesn't include the standard capsimax base,
glucomannan, chromium, cayenne pepper, or 5htp, which are all popular
ingredients in effective fat-burning supplements because they have been proven
to work.
Instead, F-Brn Komplex seems to share only one ingredient
that acts in a supporting or complementary role to more powerful fat-burning
ingredients in better formulations, this being Green tea extract. Green tea
extract contains catechins that will help your metabolism, but it doesn't
stimulate fat-burning on its own.
It is also much cheaper than the leading brands of
fat-burner on the market, which is probably what encouraged so many people to
try it. However, it is often the case that you get what you pay for, so buying
a cheap fat-burner can be a false economy as you will end up spending money on
an ineffective product that doesn't deliver on its promises.
You may have read to this point and wonder if it is worth
reading on to find out what exactly F-Brn Komplex contains and if it has any
redeeming qualities.
We have to say that as a fat-burning supplement, it scores
zero for containing any actual scientifically proven ingredients. Still, it is
interesting to know what it contains and why the ingredients were chosen for
the formulation. So here goes:
Green
Tea Extract 300mg: One of the most redeeming ingredients is green tea
extract. The extract is known for helping to boost the production of
noradrenaline, which helps your body to burn more calories. But the dose
is low, and the formula lacks the other thermogenic ingredients found in
better formulations that would boost its effectiveness.
Garcinia
Cambogia 50mg: This is a controversial ingredient, as already mentioned
above. It was heavily used in older fat-burning formulations from decades
ago, but its safety has been brought under question for a good reason,
with a strong link to it causing liver damage. (We should mention that there have been no mentions of FBRN as one of the implicated supplements in these). The active ingredient HCA
acts to block enzymes that encourage fat storage. But it is less effective
than 5htp at reducing food cravings and far less effective as an appetite
suppressant than glucomannan.
Green
Coffee Bean Extract 200mg: This isn't such a bad ingredient to include in
a fat-burner, but it is only just OK and nothing special. It is sometimes
included in better formulations for its ability to bind to carbs and
reduce blood sugar spikes. Still, it is far more effective when taken with
other ingredients that work synergistically with the extract, which F-Brn
Komplex lacks.
L-Carnitine
Tartrate 200mg: A quality ingredient, yes, but it is being used for the
wrong reason. While this is a beneficial nootropic, it has zero effect on
fat loss and, as such, has no place in this formulation. L-Carnitine is
only of use for people with a deficiency, but almost nobody is deficient
in it.
Caffeine and thermogenesis
It is interesting to note that F-Brn Komplex doesn't contain
caffeine, which is commonly added to most fat-burning food supplements for its
thermogenic effect.
You may notice that the formulation contains green coffee
extract, but green coffee beans are not roasted, and the extract is taken from
the raw coffee bean, which means there is little to no caffeine in the extract.
The lack of thermogenic ingredients in the F-Brn Komplex
formulation is one of our most significant concerns about the product's
effectiveness.
Thermogenesis is a fancy word for the production of heat in
your body caused by a rise in body temperature, which in the absence of food is
fueled by drawing on your stored body fat reserves.
Caffeine boosts the thermogenesis in your body surprisingly
well. It is backed up by plenty of scientific research, so finding that F-Brn
Komplex is being marketed as a fat-burner but contains no thermogenic
ingredients such as caffeine was quite eye-opening.
