Zantrex Black

I started taking Zantrex Black at the beginning of January. My weight loss goal is 40-45 pounds. I did a lot of research on diet and weight loss pills. I think it’s all a scam, to be honest.

Anyway, I took two capsules before lunch on a Wednesday, and it did give me a boost of energy and curved my appetite. I don’t believe you need diet pills or supplements to lose weight. I believe that if you stop eating fast food and junk food like sweets, candy, fried foods, and “crap food” as my husband calls it, and add an exercise program, you will lose the weight.

I didn’t have any negative results other than just one. The capsules gave me so much energy that I couldn’t sleep. I’ve been awake for over 24 hours, and I’m still not tired. This is nuts. I’ve read reviews where people have had hot flashes, rapid heart racing, even where in some instances they had to be rushed to the hospital. Take it at your own risk!

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

I had a horrible allergic reaction three times, and the last two were really bad. I finally narrowed it down to it being caused by the Zantrex Black. Heart palpitations, extreme nervousness, turned beat red with a rash. My head felt like it was on fire. Thank goodness I had Benadryl on hand for two bad episodes; I thought I was going to die. I won't be ever taking this product again.

I had to rate, so I gave it one star only because that was the lowest I could rate it at.

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

I would not recommend this to anybody. The headache is not worth it, OMG, I just took some Tylenol and it eased away within 20 minutes. Don't take this unless you want a BAD headache. I felt shaky, it didn't give me any energy, it decreased my hunger, but heck, that probably gave me a bad headache too. I don't think anything on the market is safe. The hospital said that weight loss pills don't work, they just give you bad side effects, and to me, if you gotta deal with crap like that, it ain't worth it.

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

Though this product kept me wakeful, it also turned me into an insomniac. Though it curbed my appetite perfectly, I lost only ONE pound in one month, AND I was not eating any unhealthy foods NOR WAS I in excess of 2000 calories a day.

This product made me itch all over my body within 20 minutes before I ate. Try something else. This company is only trying a different scheme to make money off of the hopeful.

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

I have taken this pill in the past with no problems. Today within 10 minutes I had broken out in hives, face, arms, and hands. So bad that I went to convenient care and my blood pressure was extremely high. Loaded me up with Benadryl and still 7 hours later, my arms are still red, raised, and itchy. Face and neck are better but still itchy. Start on steroids tomorrow.

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

I just bought these today and I took two this evening before dinner...within 10 minutes of taking them I felt like I was on fire! My face was blood red, my arms and my chest were broke out in hives, my blood felt like it was pounding through my body and I was on fire. It has been about an hour and a half and it is eased up some now. I still feel like my heart is racing but the redness has gone away, however, I will definitely not be finishing the rest of my bottle and I would not recommend this to anyone else, as typically I have no allergies to anything and this is the first time I’ve ever had a reaction like this to any pills.

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

I have tried just about every diet/energy pill out there and have NEVER been so afraid for my life. There is niacin in this so I expected the red/tingling skin, but 30 minutes after I told 2 capsules I was driving and had to pull over. My vision started fading and I fainted to the asphalt. My husband caught me and kept me focused not on the thought of death. My vision went black and I could only hear my husband's voice. I was sure I was going to die. I couldn't breathe and my heart was racing. After about 15 minutes and a Gatorade, coconut water, and a bottle of water I finally could see and breathe again. After about 45 minutes I was so tired and had the worst headache. This experience has changed my life; I will not be consuming any sort of workout supplements ever again.

I took a recommended amount, 2 pills 15–20 minutes before I ate. Within 10 minutes my face felt flush, then my stomach started hurting, and then my skin turned a blotchy red and I felt like I was on fire! It scared me, had to take a Benadryl.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

I took this product and my face skin burned extremely bad. I thought I was just overheated and it had nothing to do with the product, but the next time I took it, it happened again. I’m definitely not taking it anymore because of red face, burning sensation, and hives.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

I took 1 Zantrex Black softgel dietary supplement the first day, no problem, then ate breakfast. Then I took 1 more at 6 pm, then ate dinner, then I started to itch badly in my feet and hands, etc. It lasted for 20 minutes. Then the second day, I took 1, then ate breakfast, and started itching again, the same as the first day. So since it makes me itch, I decided to take it back to the store where I got it, that’s what it says on the box.

Why do they keep selling this product if it makes people itch? They should ban this product or take the ingredient out that causes itching (Xanthine and Niacin).
