Zantrex Black

Here's some background on me: I'm 22, I'm 5'4. I had my baby 19 months ago, and went from 160 lbs to 200 lbs between getting pregnant and a month ago. I don't eat the greatest, I didn't exercise much before taking these, and I constantly drink coffee (through the day). I do not drink soda and I drink my coffee black. I work full time and go to community college full time.

My fiancé randomly picked these up from CVS for me to try. I never asked because I don't believe in diet pills. I've never seen good results.

I will say this: you will suffer the consequences if you take even one of these without eating. I learned that the hard way when I decided to take one at home and drive 30 minutes to breakfast. Had to turn the car around and go to the restroom. Further details would be gross, just take my word. It wasn't pretty.

Anyway, I take them in the morning RIGHT before eating. I would even recommend eating with five minutes if possible as they act quickly. I take two, and it gives me energy for at least 6 hours. I feel motivated, ready to take on the day within 30 minutes of taking the pill. If I start to see myself getting tired, I take one more right before I eat or while I'm eating and it keeps my perked up until bed time. I don't get to work out until my son has gone to bed (around 7 pm) and have noticed that since taking these, I feel up to doing my workout routine. I haven't missed a day since starting these a month ago. I have lost 6 pounds with these pills, moderate exercise 5 times a week, and decent eating. I still eat fast food probably once a week, and frozen meals a couple times a week for lack of time. 6 pounds in a month, I've learned, isn't bad. It isn't a miracle pill, which doesn't exist. I praise it mainly for it's ability to keep me energized, which helps me get myself to work out. I wake up at 6 am, same time as my son, and if I'm not working or in class, I'm with him, and he's crazy. So by 7 pm (his bed time) I'm normally exhausted. With these pills, I feel fine (it is currently 8 pm and I just did my work out).

Like I said, the only negative side effects I experienced were when I took them without eating. I am also used to consuming a lot of caffeine in a day, so I suppose if you're not, these might give you the jitters. I would recommend them to anyone that doesn't get jittery after 2 cups of coffee.

My bottom line is that there's no miracle pill that will shed weight with no exercise or healthy eating! I'm sure if I stuck to a weight-loss diet and exercised harder, (I do a basic routine) I would be losing more. For now, I am happy with 6 lbs a month. It's more than I lost before the pills. Honestly, I was gaining a bit of weight month to month before them.

Give it a try, I would say. Even one a day could help.

I drank it this morning since I had a lot of errands to do with my husband. First stop was a clinic, thank God for that. On my way there I felt hot and cold, then I had to pee and vomit. Got to the clinic and vomited, saw the nurse and I began to feel chest pains, and became confused, wanting to vomit my stomach out. I urinated and did number 2.

I began having chest pains, I was about to pass out, felt like having a heat attack, blood pressure was sky high, was losing consciousness, forgot to speak. The worst weight loss pill ever. PA had to call an ambulance, ended up in the ER, with all sorts of meds and IV. I did not do any of my errands.

I have used this product on and off for a few years. Personally, I wish that I would have just stayed with the Zantrex Black all along. It did make me flush at first, but I space it out, and use common sense as to how my body may react to it, and it works accordingly, and the issue was resolved. I also have to be mindful because of the medications that I am on, but it does work for me. As with any diet pill, or pill, people have to do the research for themselves to be on the safe side from other complications that may surface. A diet pill is not, and never will be a magical weight loss alternative to a diet, or choosing a healthy lifestyle.

I began taking Zantrex Black 6 days ago. I started taking one in the morning as soon as I begin to eat my cereal. I know the directions say to take it 15 minutes before eating, but I never take any kind of pills on an empty stomach. I did not experience any side effects thus far. I just started a second pill today right as I started eating my lunch. I did not experience any side effects yet. I intend on doing the one pill in the morning and one at lunch until my body gets used to the ingredients in this pill. On day 8, I plan on taking two in the morning with my cereal and one at lunch. Beginning with week 3, I will take two in the morning and two at lunch. Yes, I know this is not per the instructions. But, I'd rather do it the way I am doing it by slowly introducing it to my body and then once my body is used to the ingredients, I will be able to take the full dosage recommended. It may take me longer to get the achieved results, yet I have had no negative side effects thus far. I do have more energy and feel an all over better feeling so far.

I have noticed a decrease in appetite. However, I have noticed an increase in my water intake, which is true benefit of taking this thus. Too soon for me to tell where this pill will take me. But, I believe my slow and steady approach has eliminated any side effects that others have mentioned in the reviews. So far, I'm happy with what I'm experiencing and have no complaints yet. Time will tell as I increase my dosage at my own pace. I would recommend it. However, you know your own body and how you respond to energy pills, weight loss supplements, etc. Have some common sense when deciding to swallow these pills. That's what I've been doing and will continue to do!

I purchased the Zantex Black about seven days ago. I immediately started at 2 pills before each meal. I definitely see that it helps a lot with suppressing my appetite and energy is so so. In seven days I have lost three pounds, but that is with a 1500 calorie a day diet plan. I would definitely recommend this product as of now.

I have type 2 diabetes and I have not been able to lose weight. I tried this, taking two pills, but it was too strong for me. I now take one pill in the morning and one in the evening.

I tried other products and they did nothing, but this really works. I have lost 22 pounds in two months. The main thing to note as that it really cuts down on my hunger and how much I eat. I don't notice any boost in energy, but I bought this to lose weight and it's 10000% great.

I can't thank this company enough for having such a great product out there; it saved my life.

I always seem to have 10 pounds to lose. I have taken almost everything on the market - no wonder weight loss remedies is a multi-billion dollar industry. I find that my appetite is curbed, I do indeed have more energy AND as an added, but as an unintended benefit, it has helped me cut down on my smoking. I used to smoke 4-5 cigarettes a day. Now, I barely smoke 2, and while I am smoking, they no longer are satisfying. I have ordered 2 more bottles. Within the next month, not only will I have lost my 10 pounds, I've lost 3 after the first week, but I will probably not be smoking anymore. Thanks so much, Zantrex Black!

First off, if you're sensitive to caffeine (as most of the people giving negative reviews obviously are) then you may want to go easy at first. The first time I took this supplement, I took the recommended dose of 2 capsules, after which I was shaky and felt very strange for about an hour or so.

The second time I took it I lowered the dose to one capsule and I could feel the rush of energy without the shakiness. After about a week or so, once I felt that my body was getting used to it, I increased the dose back to two capsules. I haven't had any issues since.

You pretty much have to eat with this - otherwise you'll feel very jittery and possibly have a bad experience, but if taken correctly I believe that this product will work wonders. However without proper diet and exercise you're probably not going to see the results you want just from taking this product alone. It's not a miracle pill, nor does it claim to be, but the burst of energy you get with it is awesome and can really give you a boost before a good workout.

I purchased a bottle this morning. I took the recommended dosage of two capsules and within 15 minutes I got a tingling feeling. I didn't think anything of it. I ate my lunch but within five minutes my stomach started hurting. My face felt flush. I felt like my insides were on fire. The abdominal pain was too much to handle. I took a cool shower to try and relieve the hotness on my skin. After a few hours, all symptoms subsided. I ate dinner six hours later and began to feel flushed all over again. I took Zantrex-3 a few months ago but achieved no results so I thought I would try something a little stronger but this is too much. I will be returning this first thing in the morning for a refund.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Ok, I took one dose before lunch. Two pills as directed. Ate lunch. Two hours later, my stomach cramped up something awful. I've been in the bathroom ever since. It definitely helped me lose weight as it emptied my entire bowels. Small and large intestines! I go to the bathroom great. Several times a day. Perfect consistency. Not today. Goo came out of my gut that obviously had not been processed yet. So for that, I have to give the product a low mark. Anything that does THIS to your body is not good for you.

I'm sure it doesn't happen to everyone, but what if I were stuck in traffic or on the metro train? There would have been MAJOR problems. I'm actually afraid to go out, and it has been about four hours since I took the two pills. I want to stay close to a restroom. I've done colon cleanses that weren't THIS effective, this quickly!

So beware. It may sound appealing, but I actually worry about what it may have done to my body to cause such a reaction. I not only wouldn't recommend this to a friend, I wouldn't recommend it to an enemy!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I took this product twice and it looked like I had the hives and my skin got all bumpy, red, and itched terrible. I also felt very flushed and hot. I think maybe it's the niacin in it. These products don't effect everyone the same but there is no way I'd take them again. I'm hoping I can get a refund or store credit for them.
