Got My Xyience XFB
Posted in General Talk | Plan Updates

xyience xfb Lets see… about 1 week ago i bought a bottle of Xyience Xtreme Fat Burner. I got a great deal on it actually as i bought it off eBay for like $18 bucks. The bottle was all sealed up and unopened in the original box so i am confident that its ok.

FYI, this Xyience purchase parallel’s the third item in my weight loss plan and i am planning on starting to take it regularly once i begin working out.

Per the instructions on the bottle it basically says you take 2 of the pills in the morning before breakfast and another one before lunch. So with that in mind, lets check out what this stuff actually has in it:

Serving Size: 2 Capsules

  • Hoodia Cactus leaves 150mg
  • Sclareolude (Fermented Salvia sclarea leaf extract) 125mg
  • Proprietary XFM AM Blend 720mg
    • Green Tea Extract (standardized for epigallocatechin gallate, caffeine, and polyphenols)
    • Yerba Mate ((standardized for caffeine and methylxanthines), infused with natural caffeine for a total of 300mg caffeine
  • Acetyl-L-Carnitine 30mg
  • Ginger Root Extract (zingiber officinale) Standardized to contain 5% Gingerols 45mg
  • Cayenne 100,000 STU/gram 45mg

Wow thats a lot! Of stuff, but a couple stand out to me more than the others. Hoodia, Yerba Mate and Cayenne.

Hoodia is all over the place these days. It is a cactus from south africa that has been known to help local people with indigestion and appetite suppression when traveling across desert. Recently it has been marketed in the form of a diet pill.

Yerba Mate i know from experience is a good stimulant. While in argentina not too long ago my friend suggested we drink it. I CLEARLY remember being extremely tired and after drinking that stuff it was like a spell of light energy. Nothing crazy, just pep and i think this would be nice in a diet pill as the feeling of caffeine from yerba mate (in my experience) is not a CRaCKeD OuT feeling. :)

Finally, when i saw cayenne i thought wow that’s a unique ingredient. But hot/spicy stuff has been known to boost the metabolism and actually i just recently learned that it is an anti-inflammatory. Example of this would be after you have surgery or something there are specific foods such as hot/spicy foods and even avocados that can help reduce swelling.
