Overview
Fat burners are a commonplace on the diet market. They typically promise increased energy and thermogenic weight loss.
Redline®, by VPX, is no different. This liquid supplement is said to increase the body’s ability to burn fat by causing the body to shiver, thus increasing calorie-burning. But at the same time, the body will begin to sweat in a “thermogenic storm.” Between all the shivering and sweating, Redline® is supposed to offer unparalleled fat loss.
If this sounds a bit extreme, that’s because Redline® is marketed to bodybuilders, primarily. And the assumption is that bodybuilders don’t mind stimulants coursing through their veins, nor much of anything else if it will help them get “ripped.”
Ingredients at a Glance
Though there are several Redline® spin-offs on the VPX site, we will focus on the original formula. Redline® contains Caffeine Anhydrous, Evoburn™, N-acetyl-L-Tyrosine, Guggulsterone E&Z, Yerba Mate, Green Tea, 5 HTP, Vinpocetine, and Yohimbine HCL.
Ingredients in Focus
As this short list makes clear, Redline® relies on a number of stimulants.
Of course, we are all familiar with Caffeine, and ‘anhydrous’ simply refers to its dehydrated form. Additional Caffeine/stimulant sources are Yerba Mate, Green Tea, and Yohimbine HCL. The following ingredients are also of note:
Evoburn™ is a patented form of Evodiamine. This ingredient is thought to influence metabolism through thermogenesis as well as the secretion of catecholamines from the adrenal glands. It may also stimulate vanilloids and thus reduce fat uptake while increasing the rate of fat burning.
L-Tyrosine is one of the amino acids used by cells to synthesize proteins. It is found in large amounts in casein, which is the protein found in cheese. In the brain, it has been said that Tyrosine may be linked to dopamine as well as norepinephrine. In addition, it may also regulate thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal gland functions, which could have effects on appetite. Tyrosine has been used to treat narcolepsy, fatigue, anxiety, depression, allergies, and headaches.
Pregnant or nursing women should not take this supplement. Those taking medication already should consult a physician.
Positives
• None.
Negatives
• Contains a lot of stimulating ingredients.
• Odd and extreme weight loss method.
Final Thoughts
Redline is obviously not for the faint of heart. If you’re looking to cut fat fast, please think twice about supplementing with a product that promises to make you shiver and sweat until you’ve lost all the fat you want. Such a weight loss method hardly seems the healthiest. There are weight loss supplements that work without all the shivering and what not. Look for one without caffeine, which does include ingredients to burn fat and help control appetite. This, combined with a healthy diet and plenty of exercise will give you the results you are looking for.
