- Satisfactory 4/26/2007 I started taking Zantrex-3 four days ago. I haven't noticed any side effects. I take 2 in the morning and 2 at lunch time and drink plenty of water with them. I hope I lose weight. I am going to try to take 2 extra at dinner time and see what happens. Tracy Gibraltar |

- Satisfactory 4/25/2007 Today was my first day on Zantrex-3. I started with only one pill for the day (lunch). I also drank a lot of water with the pill and throughout the day. I did notice, however, the jitters that people wrote about (only for 10 minutes max, but then again, I'm not much of a coffee or soda drinker). I plan to take two pills total tomorrow (1 lunch, 1 dinner). I'm looking forward to my future results. I recommend like the others to start off with a low dosage. Anonymous Long Beach, CA USA |

- Very Good4/6/2007 I am 44 years old, 6'3" and started out at 227 lbs. Today I am 207. I've been taking Zantrex-3 for three weeks now. I don't take the recommended dosage though. I start work at 6:00 AM, take two capsules and drink two big glasses of water. Then at around 6:30 I drink a SlimFast shake. The energy is awesome! I used to be tired in the morning, but now I have lots of energy. Around noon I eat an energy bar, that's it. I do a lot of walking on my job, so that gives me exercise. I drink lots of water too. Then, at around 5:30pm, I take two more pills (total of 4 per day), that gets me ready for dinner. My appetite (which used to be HUGE) has dwindled to that of my 14 year old daughter! It is really amazing. I've lost 20 lbs! I do feel a bit anxious sometimes. I think my temper is shorter. I also got a staph infection on a skin fold of my thumb nail. The doctor said my imune system may be weakened. Anonymous Coconut Creek, FL USA |

- Fair3/30/2007 Zantrex-3 was my first diet pill ever, and I hated it. I tried it for a week, but stopped. Because it made me feel like I had overdose on caffeine - allowing me to become jittery and shaky all the time. Plus I could not sleep late at night. Though, I have lost around 2 pounds over the past month, I doubt that it is from this product. Jat San Jose, CA USA |

- Very Good 3/29/2007 A few weeks back, I took 2 Zantrex-3 pills prior to a meal (because that is the recommended dosage) and my skin started burning from the Niacin... this lasted about 10 minutes and then it was over. I now take one pill twice daily... sometimes before meals and sometimes after a meal. It seems to have the same effect on me as Ephedra based diet pills. Melanie Madison, WI USA |

- Not My Favorite 3/28/2007 Zantrex-3 was one of the worst diet pills I have ever tried. I heard great things about it, so I decided to give it a go. The side effects were horrible. I was always shaking and my heart beat was extremely fast. I felt nauseous about 30 minutes after I took each pill, and got sick every time I ate. I started off with just taking one pill instead of the recommended 2 pills so my body could adjust. It did not help at all. I could only handle trying it for 2 weeks and decided it was not worth putting my body through that. Anonymous Medford, OR USA |

- Very Good 3/15/2007 I had started to use Zantrez back in February. I had to stop because I got scared on the 2nd day I used it. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I was very dissapointed because I have never really had any reactions when taking any type of supplement. I started again this past Monday, only this time I started taking one pill only 15 minutes before lunch. I've been feeling great! Today, i thought " Why not take it in the AM and see what happens?" I guess I didnt have much of a good breakfast meal, because I started to feel real sick around lunch time. I experienced flu like symptoms and diarrhea. I had to leave work and come home to sleep. I plan to keep on one pill a day like I started on monday. I havent seen any change yet in scale but I feel lighter and I'm not hungry at all. I do crave some foods, but its not like I'll eat it if I had it infront of me. It's a real weird feeling. I plan to finish this bottle and see how it goes. Once the bottle is done, I might go into something else... depending on the outcome! A.G Miami, FL USA |

- Satisfactory 3/14/2007 It's my third day with Zantrex-3 and the first 2 days I took 2 pills before every meal and I must say that I thought I was gonna die. I got very dizzy and my heart rate went up and I almost couldn't stand on my feet. Today I started with one pill and I feel a lot better. So I recommend that you should start with one pill and see how your body reacts to Zantrex. Anonymous Sweden |

- I Love It3/11/2007 I have taken Zantrex-3 for almost a year now, and lost over 70 lbs in the first six months. I was 242 when I started taking them and was not into exercising, so I started to walk for a mile or two for the first two weeks and each day weighed myself and I couldn't believe how quickly the weight was coming off. The feelings you get from taking it the first time seem overwhelming, as with any pills, but subside, and subside even quicker if performing some kind of exercise. Anyway, I am now at 163 lbs, am still exercising, full of energy, and still taking Zantrex, although more for the energy, because I actually have definition and tone to my body (something, I never had, nor ever believed I could have). No six pack, but since all I do is jog, I was told it would be almost impossible to get one (I cannot stand to do push ups or sit ups). By the way, I am 35 years old, in case any middle aged men think that it is too late to try to lose weight. Jay Columbus, OH USA |

- Satisfactory 3/10/2007 I've been using Zantrex 3 for about a week, taking 1 pill before breakfast & lunch. The energy boost that it gives me is amazing and I haven't experienced any side effects. However, even though I don't really feel hungry, I don't feel full either & I still have cravings for certain foods. I have worked out everyday this week & I have lost 2 lbs. I plan to up the dosage to 1 1/2 next week & see if the effects are enhanced. Nicole South Carolina United States |

- I Love It 3/8/2007 I lost 50 pounds using Zantrex-3. I admit the first time I took it, I was buzzing around like crazy. It actually made me sick to sit still - I had to keep moving. Therefore, I learned not to follow the directions on the bottle. I took one pill in the morning, that was it. After a while, I started taking two in the morning. You should always start with the bare minimum when taking any diet pill, just to see what effect it has on you. I do not drink caffeine (nothing but water) so I took that into consideration when I started taking this and took a lower dosage than the bottle recommended. As for over the counter diet supplements, Zantrex-3 is the best out there! Trish Ohio United States |

- Not My Favorite 3/5/2007 I took Zantrex-3 for 2 days. By midnight the 2nd day my heart was beating uncontrollably, I was shaking so much I couldn't hold anything, my head was swimming and spinning out of control and I became very sick. The pills do curb your appetite and make you very thirsty, however, the other side effects that almost took my life made me discontinue us of the pills. I strongly advise anyone thinking of using these pills for any reason, to consider other options. Julie Parrish Rock Hill, SC USA |

- Very Good 3/2/2007 I started taking Zantrex 3 about 2 days ago. Of course, I did my research before even cracking the bottle. I noticed that a lot of people had very negative side effects from this product, so I was cautious. I decided to take 1 pill with twice the amount of water it suggested. I did feel slightly nervous, but it gave me a great jumpstart to my day (5:30 AM start that morning). My job entails walking around all day, so I definitely used the extra energy. Other than that I had no headaches, no nausea, no cramping. If you do want to try this, I really suggest making sure you're not allergic to anything in this product beforehand. Also, drink a ton of water. Try to have some way to burn the energy off. Don't take this product if you have a desk job. You'll feel like a cat in a cage. Meg British Columbia Canada |

- Not My Favorite 2/27/2007 I would not advise anyone to take this. I had the worst experience ever with Zantrex. I took one a day for 2 days, and had nausea, and heart palpitations. Then I took 2 a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. It hit me in the middle of the night, I thought I was having a heart attack. I couldn't breathe, had chills, my heart was beating so hard and fast, it was up in my throat area. I had to call 911, and they rushed me to the ER. They had to give me an IV to slow down my heart. By the way, I was only about 20 lbs overweight, with no heart problems, or health problems, until I used Zantrex. Even the hospital advised me not to use diet aids like these. Anonymous Texas USA |

I took it around 12:30. Around 5:30 I started to have nausea and a bit later I felt my heart pounding really fast. I felt a tingling and burning sensation in my left arm, which went away an hour later. I slept great! Today I took only 1 pill 15 minutes before lunch, and the only thing I have experienced is a little bit of cramping on my chest. A.G. Miami, FL USA |

- Not My Favorite 2/21/2007 I took Zantrex and probably had the worst side effects possible. First of all I went exactly by the directions. I took two for a "boost of energy" and about 45 minutes later I began to feel extremely hot and nervous and was unable to calm myself down. I fainted. For several hours straight I felt like I was on some kind of illegal drug. I felt like I had to control my own breathing. It was hard to concentrate. My heart rate felt extremely high. I felt itchy and like I wanted to go to sleep, but felt like my eyes would never shut. Everyone seems to have different side effects but I would not suggest Zantrex-3 unless you are very overweight with no heart problems (so that your body fat will absorb every bit of the pill) or if you would not mind these side effects.

- Satisfactory 2/19/2007 I just started taking Zantrex-3 two days ago. The first day, I started off taking 1/2 dose before lunch and dinner with no caffeine-induced side effects. Yesterday, I took the full dose before lunch and dinner and was up all night! I looked up the caffeine dosage. Found that one dose (2 pills) is equal to 6 cokes. So, I basically had 12 cokes in a 6 hour period. I highly recommend taking only 1/2 the dose and drinking lots of water! Brooke Houston, TX United States |

- Not My Favorite 2/2/2007 I have been taking Zantrex 3 for two days. The first day I took it, it was great because I had the best energy - I thought that I was on cloud 9. The side effects were bad, but I didn't want to quit taking it because I thought that they would go away. So I took them again the next day and I still had side effects, but even worse - headaches, bodyaches, chills all over, and dizzyness. I recommend that you don't take Zantrex-3, but if you still want to take them, check with your doctor first. Angela Kent, OH USA |

- Very Good 1/29/2007 I have been taking Zantrex-3 for a little over two weeks. I had jitters the first day, but I haven't since. I take 6 a day, and drink eight 16 oz. bottles of water a day. I have noticed a significant difference. Pants that didn't fit before now slip on easily. I have also lost 12 lbs, and my friends have noticed! I don't think it's for everyone, but it's definately for me. I got it at Wal-Mart for twenty bucks, so it's been very good for the price! Overall: A great diet helper for some, not for others. May experience mild jitters at first. Inexpensive, and works well. Rolland Kirby Sumner, GA USA |

I was shaky, sweaty, nervous, my heart was racing and beating hard, and I had many panic attacks. I didn’t sleep for 24 hours. I was hospitalized and put on medication to get my heart back into rhythm. And I only took it for one day. Morgan Ohio United States |

- Satisfactory 1/9/2007 I started taking Zantrex a week and a half ago. I notice a huge difference in my clothes - they feel loose. There's not much of a change on the scale as yet, but that will come. I can only take 1 serving early in the morning, as I started out taking the full serving, and needed to stop for a few days. I do experience feeling jittery, but I have also lost weight / inches. I was also eating meal replacement shakes with it as well, and I'm hardly hungry. I can barely tolerate the side effects that come with it, though, so when I am done with this bottle, I won't buy it again, but I will finish the bottle I have now as people close to me are just starting to mention a noticeable weight loss w/me. I've done very little exercise. Tonya Ontario Canada |

- Satisfactory 1/7/2007 I have been using Zantrex-3 off and on for about 3 months. While it doesn't seem to suppress my appetite, it does give tons of energy, which helps out with my workout routine (1 hr, every other day). The side effects are pretty bad to start out with (flushed face, jitters, and loss of sleep), but what do you expect? It's mostly caffeine and Ginseng with niacin. One pill prior to each meal works great for me. Anonymous North Carolina United States |

- Satisfactory 12/28/2006 When I first did my research on Zantrex-3, I was worried about it from all the bad feedback it was getting. Having never done this before, and to have all my family relations (some of which were doctors) advise against it, I was really worried about the side effects... regardless I went ahead with it anyway. So far I've gone through half a bottle following the recommended dosage and I must admit I do have increased energy. I've lost 4 kg so far, but being halfway through the bottle I did expect greater results. I am happy to say, however, that I haven't experienced any of the side effects mentioned by other users of Zantrex-3. Only once when I didn't take it with food did I get a feeling of nausea, which is common with any strong medication. Overall, an "ok" rating. I probably won't take anymore after this bottle however.

- Satisfactory 11/13/2006 I have been using Zantrex-3 for a while now, and while I have experienced some of the side effects, this pill has worked for me. I have experienced the jitters, nausea, redness/hotness/swelling of the skin in my face/elbows/arms, but have also lost weight. If you haven't taken this before, start out slowly instead of rushing into the full dose to see how your body reacts and in order to avoid severe side effects & panic if you do have a negative reaction. Eating healthy & exercise only increases the weight loss - but whatever you do make sure to drink plenty of water when taking this pill! Anonymous Virginia USA |

- Very Good 10/31/2006 I started straight away taking two zantrex-3 twice a day (4 a day total). I noticed great boost in energy and a decrease in my appetite. I did have trouble breathing (shortness of breath) once or twice when I first started taking it, but I don't experience that anymore. I experienced headaches and nauseau sometimes, but I didn't attribute this to Zantrex-3, although it's highly likely that that was the cause. If I drink a lot of water that doesn't seem to be a problem, though. I'm prone to anxiety attacks anyway, and I did become emotional at times - sometimes nervous and occasionally feelings of euphoria. These symptoms were all very minimal though and did not cause any change in my day to day life. The only side effect that became a problem was insomnia, but really all these side effects are a small thing when compared to reaching my goal. Weight-wise, I noticed a difference nearly immediately! I actually love Zantrex-3 and plan to continue taking it and I would definetely purchase it again. It's the most effective diet pill that I've ever taken. Melpo North Carolina USA |

- Very Good 10/2/2006 I have been taking Zantrex 3 for about three weeks, and I have lost 9 pounds. I experienced slight redness, but after the first week it went away. The key to this product is exercise, it will not work without it. I see people taking this product and getting discouraged - maybe it does not work for everyone, but I do feel the additional energy, and I also feel the lack of energy when I come down from this. I love to take two tablets before a meal, then eat, and after about an hour head for the gym. The point is it is an addition to working out, and not a substitute for working out. Use it to your advantage, but also mention it to your doctor. William Washington, DC USA |

- Not My Favorite 9/28/2006 In my opinion Zantrex 3 is a waste. I only had 15 pounds I wanted to lose and needed an extra boost. The third day brought on serious side effects. It started with redness, swelling, and a burning/tingling sensation in my hands and an increased heartrate. I didn't make the connection to the pill at first. After the next dose when the reaction spread all the way up my arms and I felt like I was on fire, I went to the hospital and spent the next 2 days on heart monitors and medications. My blood pressure went up to 210/140 and I've never had any problems before. My heart rate was well over 200 bpm and I had trouble breathing. It's a miracle I didn't have a massive heart attack. I'd used other diet pills before and never had any trouble. I tossed this stuff in the trash! Anonymous Ohio USA |

- Satisfactory 9/26/2006 I don't need Zantrex-3 to lose weight; I work in a restaurant and wanted it for an energy boost. I bought it because I've heard of it before, which I equated with good results. I took two with the cup of coffee I was already drinking and I think it did give me the energy I needed to work. It also supressed my appetite (which I didn't want). For an occasional short-term pick me up, it wouldnt be so bad. I am confident that it should be alright as an energy booster when I really need it, if im super tired and need to go to work and be full of energy. Cynde Canada |

- Satisfactory 9/19/2006 I've been taking Zantrex-3 for 3 days. Reading all the reviews, I was very hesitant to start off taking 2 pills, so I started off with taking 1 pill in the morning, right before my breakfast, along with a very large glass of water. I continue to drink water throughout my day as well. I haven't experienced one single bad reaction. No jitters, no heart rate increase, no additional urination, no extra energy, nothing! I've always eaten regular meals, and although I've noticed I'm not as hungry anymore, it doesn't mean that I'm supposed to skip meals. Today I decided to go ahead and take a 2nd pill in the early afternoon. It initially gave me a very slight headache, but again, no additional side effects. I do feel a bit more alert, but wonder if that is simply because I think this pill is doing something! I will continue to take Zantrex-3 as directed (2 pills) starting tomorrow and then report back!

- I Love It 9/14/2006 Zantrex 3 has worked great for me with no negative side effects. The jitters that other people are experiencing may be an exagerated version of the energy boosts that Zantrex 3 gives me. My heart does beat a little faster and I may be more prone to slight anxiety, but all of these symptoms lead to a more active me. Not only does it make me feel energized and supress my appetite, but it also enhances my mood. That may be a natural affect of the happiness I get from the weight loss.

- Very Good 8/11/2006 I started taking Zantrex-3 yesterday. I took one pill in the morning before breakfast and then one fifteen minutes before dinner. I didn't feel sick at all but was a bit anxious. Let me tell you that I was energized until 2 am and I woke up at 5:30 ready for anything. I am not feeling as hungry as usual either, which is great. I am a coffee drinker and for this reason I thought two pills a day was not going to work, but I was wrong. I am glad I started slowly. Maybe they work for me because I have never taken any kind of diet pills. I suggest you start with one until you see how your body reacts to it. Dawn Pennsylvania USA |

- Very Good 8/2/2006 Just wanted to explain... those of you who experience rash/flush and itching, that is a niacin flush. You can take Zantrex with a glass of milk to prevent the reaction and or take a seperate calcium supplement at the same time as the Zantrex. The calcium has a chemical componant to it that helps keep the niacin from reacting like that, if it really bothers you. It isn't anything bad, though. Ann USA |

- Very Good 7/27/2006 I don't know what's physically wrong with the folks who have reported severe and strange symptoms because I haven't experienced any. I do not own scales, so I am just relying on my reflection in the mirror, as well as how my clothes are fitting me. So far, my appetite at meals has been decreased, which can only lead to desired weight loss. I don't plan on being on this stuff "forever" due to such high levels of stimulants. I suffer from IBS and this has not been affected negatively at all. In fact, I am more "regular" and haven't had any urgency problems (I was concerned the caffeine would stimulate the need for the restroom). I have experienced a diuretic effect, but that could be due to all of the water I am not accustomed to consuming throughout the day. Anonymous Newark, OH USA |

- Very Good 7/20/2006 I've been taking Zantrex for about a week now. I am definitely a coffee person, so I didn't expect to feel very jittery or anxious. I had decided the first day to take 2 pills without food since I just needed the energy boost. That was my big mistake. My body felt like it was shaking on the inside. I also had cold sweats and felt anxious. I took 2 more that night before dinner and didn't have any of the jitters that I had that morning. It took me a couple days but I finally figured out the dosing that I needed to feel good. I take 2 before meals, and only 1 when I'm not going to be eating and that seems to help with the jitters and cold sweat. Kristen Bloomington, IL USA |

I took 2 pills this afternoon and felt fine. Later I felt wired, but good. My respiratory rate increased and my heart was beating irregularly, but still I felt okay. I haven't had any nausea. The main thing I have noticed is that I am urinating a lot and that is making me feel less bloated. I will try one pill tomorrow and see how I feel. I am a registered nurse, so I know what to be cautious of with this product. So far I think I spent my money wisely. Armida Hollingsworth Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 7/10/2006 I started taking Zantrex 3 on June 30th it is now July 10th and I have lost about 5 lbs. I felt fine the first 3 days of taking it - just a little jittery and anxious, but I had quite the scare about a week ago. I suddenly became very hot, my arms, face, elbows, knees, backs of my legs and up my neck all turned bright red and I was starting to get hives. I took 2 benadryl quickly and in 2 mins it was gone. One thing I have observes is that this happens only if I take this pill in the morning. Later in the afternoon I don't get these nasty side affects, still jittery and anxious, though. I'm going to try to finish the bottle, I'm getting married next Saturday and want to look the best I can in the dress but I will stop them afterwards, as it isn't worth the pain of losing a few pounds.

- I Love It 6/7/2006 I've used Zantrex-3 for about three months now. I'm not a coffee person so I just take 1 pill a day - usually in the morning. I start feeling energetic 30 minutes after taking it. The only other pill that I've tried before is Hydroxycut. I like Zantrex better because it really gives me the energy that I need to survive a 9 hour work shift. And even after that, I still have a lot of energy left to work out. I try to work out at least three times a week and since I've started using the product, I've noticed that I have more drive and energy to work out. I try not to take more than one pill everyday because it gives me too much energy and it makes me feel more nervous than usual... I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes taking one pill each day isn't enough anymore... maybe my body is getting used to it. Anonymous Berrien Springs, MI USA |

- Not My Favorite 5/30/2006 I really wanted to review Zantrex because it has made me feel terrible and I wanted to warn people who are thinking about getting it. I started working out and dieting for 2 weeks after stopping antidepressants which made me gain a lot of weight. I wasn't having any results, so I decided on Zantrex for help. This is only the second day I have taken it. I haven't experienced any of the nausea, but I have been itchy all over. The first day I took it I went to work out about 2 or so hours after taking one pill. I was so short of breath I had to take 4 rests during an hour workout on an elliptical trainer. Usually I can go all the way through the workout with no rests or 1 just to get some water. The whole rest of the day I couldn't breathe properly. The next day (today) I took 1 pill and felt the same shortness of breath. I decided to do tae bo, and it was close to impossible to keep going. I was having a lot of problems breathing, and started to panic. I had to calm myself down and tell myself to just breathe. The whole rest of today I have been breathing abnormally as well. Its hard to get a breath. Both days I also totally crashed about 6 or 7 hours after taking a pill. It felt like someone gave me a sleeping pill. I am not sensitive to stimulants - I drink tons of pop and coffee on a regular basis (I didn't while taking the pills, though). I also had trouble falling asleep. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Very Good 5/27/2006 Hey, I've been taking Zantrex for about a week and I've had really good results. What I will tell people is that if you take the full dose you'll be up ALL NIGHT. I take one pill before each meal and it's worked super for me. Make sure you drink lots of water all day and improve your overall lifestyle and it'll be exactly what it's meant to be. A "supplement". This isn't a miracle pill, but it will kick start your health overhaul and keep you focused on your long term goals. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 5/25/2006 I wouldn't recommend Zantrex-3 to anyone! The first day I took only two in the morning, and I felt fine all day, just a little jittery. The next day I took 4 (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon) and I spent the rest of the day in a cold sweat, jittery, having panic attacks and throwing up until the early morning. Everything I tried to eat or drink to try and flush it out of my system, wouldn't stay down. I didn't take it for a couple days and was constantly tired and grumpy. I started taking it again today and only took 2 to see if it was just the dosage, and I feel sick again. I'm weak, jittery, have a rapid heart beat, cold sweat and feel like im going to throw up but I can't. I took it over 12 hours ago and I am still feeling sick. I also haven't lost any weight, I've actually gained 2 pounds. I am strongly against this product! Anonymous Location Withheld |

- I Love It 5/16/2006 I love Zantrex 3! I used it along with exercise two years ago and lost 16 lbs. I gained all 16 lbs back, but started working out again at the beginning of this year and was not losing any weight... After pondering what I did different 2 years ago, I remembered that I had used Zantrex 3 and decided to try it again. I have been back on Zantrex 3 for about 3 1/2 weeks now, and have lost 7 lbs... without working out. Here I was thinking that it was the working out that caused me to lose so much weight so quickly when it was the Zantrex 3 the whole time. It will probably be a necessity for the rest of my life, with a couple of months break every now and then. Tina Hershner Location Withheld |

I now run every morning and bike every evening about 3 miles - and dont feel worn out or tired when I'm done. I haven't had any side effects at all, but I'm used to caffeine and did drink coffee many times throughout the day. I love it. Yhis is the only diet pill I have tried that actually works for me.

I really like how this pill makes me feel now after adjusting the dose and making sure that I eat along with taking it.

At first I was real anxious and nervous, and was real snippy towards people. I didn't notice much the first 2 weeks, but by the third week the weight just literally fell off.

- Not My Favorite 4/9/2006 No amount of weight loss is worth what I have gone through today. I took 2 Zantrex 3 pills, as the directions indicated. Within 10 minutes, my body became hot, and I felt faint. As each minute went by, my body developed hives all over. My face was bright red. My blood pressure and heart beat went up considerably and I thought I might die. I felt like I might have a stroke or heart attack. My husband drove me to urgent care. I had to be treated with Xanax, Benedryl and and an IV anti-inflammatory. I was crying and shaking. I had to have cold towels and ice packs to lessen the burning over my head, face and neck. After the reversal medications began working, I then got the chills and had to be changed out of my wet clothes and covered with blankets. Thankfully, the medications worked within an hour and I was allowed to go home. I have felt jittery, with rapid heartbeat and otherwise uncomfortable the remainder of the day.

- Not My Favorite 2/28/2006 I had used Zantrex-3 for 2 months going through 2 bottles with pretty good results (I was also dieting and exercising). I had run out and went about 2 weeks without taking it, then bought 2 more bottles. I took 2 with lunch with no problem (and when I had taken it before, I had no ill effects). I later took 2 pills and packed the kids up to go to dinner. We got to the restaurant and after three bites of my dinner I started to feel really naseaus, and like my skin was on fire. I looked down, and my whole body was bright red, and I was getting the shakes and feeling like I was going to pass out. I immediately went home and called my sister to come over. By the time she arrived, my throat was swelling up and I had to call 911. They had to give me a shot of epinepherine because I went into anaphylactic shock (a severe allergic reaction). My heart raced in the range of 110-220 beats per minute for 3 days, and I was hospitalized for 2 days. I have had a constant headache for the almost 2 months since then, and now get migraine attacks.

- Satisfactory 1/17/2006 I've been taking Zantrex 3 for 17 days (since the new year) and I've already lost around 14 pounds. Now, when I try something I go all the way and I tried Zantrex before reading any reviews. First I cut out all unhealthy foods and ate very little then I took two pills with meals and 1-2 more between meals, because the bottle said that you can take it just for energy... big mistake! I have lost a lot of weight but with a lot of suffering. If you take more than one with a meal or one or more without a meal you are doomed to feel horrible. So I cut it down to one pill, twice a day, with meals and I stopped losing weight. I started out at 215 and now I'm 201 lbs. I skipped yesturday and crashed today. Big headache and very sluggish. So be careful - this stuff is strong. My suggestion is to mix it up and don't shock your body. Play around with the dosage to see how you feel. But remember, if you take on an empty stomach you will lose weight but you will feel horrible. Good luck and be careful! Melanie Sorrell Location Withheld |

Here's my experience with Zantrex- it worked very well for about 3 months then I started to get super tired, my heart raced in the middle of the night for no apparent reason, and because I was completley exhausted when not taking it I ate more than I normally would. I used to take two before workouts every day and over a year gained 10 pounds. This stuff does not work! As soon as I stopped taking it I dropped the 10 pounds plus 5 additional pounds in three months, working out and eating right the natural way! That's what I recommend. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- I Love It 12/1/2005 Zantrex-3 is, by far, my favorite diet pill. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months on it (165 to 145 on a 5'4" small frame) about a year ago along with eating very sensibly and walking for half an hour every other day. And now I'm back on it to lose 20 more! Word of warning - from experience - though the caffeine can do a lot for you (increase energy, sex drive, and digestive flow, it can really mess with your heart! I started getting very excitable after a few months of being on this (and taking up to 6 pills a day). My heart would start palpitating when I would get nervous, or scared. It says on the bottle, "For temporary use only", which means don't stay on it ALL the time! Make sure you go off of this for a month or so after being on it for three months or more. It will help increase your weight loss because your body won't become so used to all the caffeine! Anonymous Location Withheld |

- I Love It 11/5/2005 I, too, was sceptical to try Zantrex-3, but I was glad I did. I have been taking it for 4 days now and have already lost 4 lbs. After reading the reviews, many have complained about the "flushing" and nausea feeling. The flushing is from taking Niacin which is in this product. Niacin is a vitamin and helps with lowering cholesterol. If you experience the flushing, take an aspirin 30 minutes before taking Zantrex 3. This will stop the flushing and even help with the headaches. I started slow by taking only one tablet a day. I am now only taking 3 tablets a day, one before each meal, and it works great. I no longer experience the flush or light-headedness as I did the first day. I feel great and can't wait to reach my goal in weight loss. Remember, use your head. If treat your symptoms and your body will get used to it and rid itself from the side effects. Carol Victor Location Withheld |

- Not My Favorite 9/12/2005 I have taken this product off and on for about 2 months now. I am unable to finish the bottle because I don’t like the way it makes me feel. I took it again this morning, hoping for a better experience, with no such luck. Although I took one pill over 4 hours ago, I am still feeling strong negative side effects. I had to cut my 45 minute cardio workout to just 20 minutes because I felt very nauseous and still feel like throwing up, but cant. My heart is pumping fast and I feel very jittery and anxious. It does suppress your appetite because your body is going through such a negative reaction that there is no way you want to put anything inside it. I am even having a hard time drinking water trying to flush my system from it. By the way, I have tried several similar products and this one has the worst side effects. If you are looking for a product that enhances your healthy lifestyle, this is definitely not it. I do not feel healthy at all right now. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Mimi T.

- Satisfactory 6/22/2005 Update from Renee, May 26, 2005: I have lost 9 more pounds, so a total of 14 since May. At first all the symptoms still occured even when I was taking 1 pill a day, in the morning. I continued taking it anyway and they started going away. Once my body got used to the Zantrex, I had no more side effects. I am moving up to 1 capsule in the morning and one at night. I think if it's a gradual thing it will be ok. I had stopped going to the gym altogether after the recent loss of my car and I found I lost more with Zantrex without exercising, because I was putting on too much muscle.

- Fair 6/22/2005 I decided to take Zantrex-3 in order to lose a few extra pounds. To begin, I took 2 capsules and then ate a small yogurt, which proved to be a bad idea. I felt extremely sick afterwards and had terrible acid reflux. The only way I got to sleep that night was with excessive alcohol. Keep in mind I am not caffeine sensitive. I also broke out into a skin rash and was incredibly itchy all over. I was taking 4 a day for 3 days and then realized that I had to cut it out completely. It was making me depressed and emotional and I constantly wanted to throw up. The only thing it did was make me feel guilty about eating. I did shed 3 pounds in a day, but I think its because I was so sick I didn't eat. Anonymous Location Withheld |

- Satisfactory 6/11/2005 I started by taking 2 Zantrex 3 pills, 2 times a day. I was nauseated and certainly didn't feel like eating anything at all. Day 2 I decided not to take any. On the third day I took 1 tablet before breakfast and that's how it has stayed. With that dose, I have no side effects at all. I'm certainly not dieting, just eating as normal and I haven't started exercising yet, but i plan to... smile. After 2 weeks of 1 tablet before breakfast, no diet and no exercise, I have lost a total of 3.8 kg (8 pounds). In 2 weeks! I think thats pretty good... smile. I would recommend Zantrex-3 to my friends, but just 1 pill per day. Anonymous Australia |

All day I feel like I can't breathe and I have to think about how to breathe right again, because my chest hurts. I have to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes and I am starving all the time, but yet when I eat I get full really fast. Along with the horrible headaches and heartburn, my stomach hurts.

- Not My Favorite 3/29/2005 I wanted to lose about 20 pounds, and was hoping that taking Zantrex-3, along with diet and exercise, would help take the weight off faster. After I took the first dose at breakfast, I felt a little light-headed and unfocused, but I told myself I'd feel better once my body got used to it. After the second dose at lunch, I felt a little queasy but still convinced myself to push through it and give my body time to adjust. After the third dose at dinner, I felt so bad I had to go lie down and focus very hard on not vomiting. Nevertheless, I continued taking the Zantrex doses faithfully for two more days, even though I felt continually worse, convinced that once my system adjusted I would feel better. But after dinner on day three, I spent two hours in the bathroom, alternately vomiting up all my food and lying in a fetal position on the floor. As soon as I could stand up, I threw the Zantrex in the garbage. Anonymous Watertown, NY USA |

The first 3 days I took 1 pill twice a day with a big glass of water and ate 20 minutes later, as recommended. I did not rush into it after reading the reviews. It did reduce my appetite but also made me feel nauseous. I lost 2-3 pounds but felt extremely hungry at the end of the 3rd day. So the 4th day I took 2 pills. I had an extremely bad reaction. After about 10 minutes my skin swelled up and turned very red. I felt a huge surge of sweat come out of me. My throat closed up. I felt as though I wanted to vomit but could not. I had very bad diarrhea. I had to lie on the floor for 1/2 hour. I felt ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE for the next 2 hours. It was very frightening. My legs were shaking and my teeth chattering. I had read the reviews and started slow and didn't fear a reaction after taking it for 3 days already but it did happen. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

- Very Good 2/6/2005 I'm 24, and had gain a some weight after getting an office job. I did not believe in taking diet pills. I thought by just eating healthy, and working out you could lose weight. I had been working out for 4 months, 4 times a week with no significant weight loss. I felt my body had reached a plateau. I got a little desperate and decided to take Zantrex-3. I've been taking it for a week and a half... and I have to say it really works! I've lost 4 lbs and don't have the sugar cravings I had before. However, you have to be careful with it. Take moderate doses, and take it before you work out, like I do. It gives me the extra boost to really get an effective work out. The only bad side effect thus far, is that I am super anxious sometimes... almost like I'm on the verge of a panic attack. But that was when I was taking 2 pills. I've decreased it to 1, and so far, I'm fine. This product isn't for everyone. Anonymous Location Withheld |

Almost right after I ate, I got an enormous energy boost, but on the way to work, I could barely focus on my driving, was having difficulty breathing, and started getting cold sweats. It's been about 3 hours since I have taken it, and I am still feeling the same way. It's hard to concentrate on work- my palms and feet are very sweaty, I cannot stop shaking my legs, and I'm still feeling a little nauseous. On the upside, I usually smoke about 2 cigarettes on the way to work, but this morning did not feel the urge at all and didn't even smoke 1. I will probably only take 1 pill next time to see if that helps the un-easy feeling at all. Kristina Thompson Location Withheld |

I took 2mg of klonopin and laid in a dark room with the fan on. I was 2 hours late for work. None of this occured when I was taking just 1 pill. So that is what I will be doing from now on - just 1. The good news about Zantrex 3 is that it won't make you have heart palpitations like ephedra did (I used to take 5 ripped fuels per day), but it will give you the kick in the butt needed to force yourself to have a stellar workout.

- Not My Favorite 1/7/2005 First of all, I have to give credit where it's due - Zantrex 3 works. It basically makes you stop thinking about food so much in those first few days of a diet. I went on a diet to lose roughly 15 lbs and supplemented Zantrex-3 with diet and exercise. However, I had an awful reaction. I read "you may experience a burning or tingling sensation", but that was a severe understatement. Within 15 minutes, I felt like I was going to die. My throat closed up, my skin was on fire, my eyes were beet red, my face swelled, and I laid on the bathroom floor because it was the coolest place in the house. I felt sick (like I had the flu) for six hours afterward. I thought it was the caffeine, so I called a doctor and a friend who is a trainer since he had experience with the product. I found out it was the niacin in the product, and even after 15 mg of it (one pill) it could cause that reaction. I took it again with food and it lessened the next day. I got the reaction only once again. I would not go so far as to call this product "dangerous", however you've got to make sure you take this product for the first couple of times exactly according to the directions, one pill at first, and around someone so that if you have a severe reaction they can help you. My friend is severely allergic to peanuts and said that the reaction I had (she was around when I took it) was identical to what she goes through if she accidentally eats peanuts. Just because this product is sold over the counter does not necessarily make it completely safe for everyone! Molly Harrington Allston, MA USA |

I am hoping that in fact this works, because I want to lose weight fast and I have already used other products and they did not work. I will continue letting you know if this is a good product.

- I Love It 11/12/2004 I have only been taking Zantrex 3 for 3 days now, but already I am very pleased with it. I have certainly had a lot more energy, am feeling a little jittery, but other than that I have already lost 2kgs! My hunger is definitely decreased and the only side effect I have noticed is that about an hour after taking the pills I get the shakes, but at least that lets me know that they are working well at getting my metabolism going!

- Satisfactory 11/10/2004 I have been taking Zantrex for two weeks now and I have noticed weight loss but most of all energy. At first taking the pills made me feel a little irritable and nervous but I got over those feelings after a few days (2-3 days). I really think this pill is awsome. My advice is to give it time as you might feel weird at first, but give it a few days, Zantrex really works. Jamie Vanmeter Cross Junction , VA USA |

- Very Good 10/25/2004 Just started taking zantrex 3. I do not take it at night as I have done just now, hence I am still up writing this review! Zantrex takes the edge off hunger, gives you loads of energy, made me all happy and giggly! I only took one pill in morning which I feel, for me, was enough and I did not need this second pill. My mood was elevated all day, and I was more productive than I have been for a while. I even went to the gym this afternoon which is indeed a rare occurence. Start slowly and gauge your own reaction. So far, I am happy! Feel slimmer even although i'm not...yet! Sarah J. Aberdeen, Scotland United Kingdom |

- I Love It 10/24/2004 First things first, you have to research what you take before you take it. ONE - The Research done on Zantrex 3 on people who have taken it (without exercise) for 6 WEEKS lost 11.6 pounds on average! Take 11.6 and divide that by 6 and you get 1.9. So if you lost 1.9 pounds on your first week, your not doing too bad. TWO - READ THE INGEDENTS on the back of the bottle. If you are allergic to anything back there, DON'T take Zantrex 3. THREE - If you have High blood pressure, are Diabetic, or have a health problem, or are on any type of Medication, you better see your doctor before taking Zantrex 3. FOUR - If you think your going to take Zantrex 3 and not adjust your diet or exercise, you might as well not buy it. Zantrex 3 is not the hands of God! But it can sure can help you if you work with it! I have been taking it for 1 month now and have went from 211 to 187 pounds. I ate healthy with it and did at least 1 hour of non stop cardiovasular exercise a day. I recommend you read up on the product first and research if it will affect you in anyway. Then I recommend for the best results to only start off taking 1 pill in the morning and 1 at night. While taking these pills don't eat alot of Sugar, Coffee, or smoke. You should be taking Zantrex 3 to help with food cravings and some extra energy! NOT to give you lipsuction! I recommend Zantrex 3 to responsible, smart people only. Brandon Miller Hayward , CA USA |

- I Love It 10/19/2004 I started taking Zantrex-3 after one of my friends told me that he went from 140 lbs to 105 over one summer break. He never exercizes, but I think he cut back on eating a bit. I've been taking it for about a week now. The first day that I took the pills I had a bunch of energy. I'm pretty used to caffeine so it doesn't make me hyper, but it does help me feel awake all day and doesn't interrupt my sleeping. I don't have a scale, but I tried on some pants this morning that used to fit tightly, and now they fit just fine. It does give you energy to burn, I recommend trying it. Anonymous Bothell, WA USA |

- Very Good 10/18/2004 I was on Adderall for ADD and had to stop because of complications- I was looking for some alternative that would give me the focus/energy/appetite control I had with that. After some fiddling with the time/food equation, I have found that what works best for me is to take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and eat 30-45 minutes later. If I adhere to this schedule, it works great- the appetite suppressant / energy benefits came first, and 2 weeks later I'm starting to see my focus improve. I have about 3/4 of the bottle left- my clothes are a little looser, and the other benefits are starting to show, so I am going to continue with this and see where it leads...

- I Love It 10/4/2004 I started with 2 pills before each meal and that made me psycho and sick and I even threw up. Then I started to take only one, two or three times a day and it's working beautifully. So I advise for people to take it slow and steady as it really does work with your body's chemistry so you have to listen to your body. Just because you take two caps, three times a day doesn't mean you'll lose more weight, unless your body can handle it. Anyway, with this pill it seems that its a matter of dosage and individual bodies. Listen to your body people! Seriously. Take it easy. Anonymous Moteley, MS USA |

I was so thankful when my doc gave me the ok to get back to taking Zantrex. This is the best product by far and I have taken them all, RX and non-RX. I am on only day 3 of starting over and have had so much energy, ZERO side effects, and my shorts are falling off, have lost a total of 6 lbs, and feel so revived, in a rejuvinating sense, I LOVE IT! I hope to never have to stop till I am where I want to be.

- Satisfactory 9/2/2004 I have been using the product for 2 weeks, I have yet to become nauseated or light-headed, and have had very few cases of "jitters" that only lasted 10-12 minutes. However, I do not feel that this product actually makes a difference. Pounds mean nothing to me, only inches. 2 weeks before starting to take Zantrex-3 I slowly started to work myself back into daily exercise and also began controlling what I eat, when I eat it, and how much I consume. The first day I started taking Zantrex-3 I did notice that I had wanted to eat "less", I began eating until I was content not full (I am/was not obese, only clinically overweight [18% bodyfat] and am trying to drop 3% body fat and 2 inches from my waist) but I did try to eat something every 2 hours inbetween the 3 main meals to keep my metabolism going. Also on the first day I began walking for 50 minutes, running for 25 minutes, was doing 5 sets of 20 push-ups, 5 sets of 20 sit-ups (actual sit-ups in an incline, not just crunches), and 4 sets of 4 pull-ups. I also made sure to consume atleast 100g of protien and drinking creatine mixes as well. So far the results are only satisfactory.

I followed the directions exactly, I took the 2 pills with a full glass of water 20 min. before eating. Within minutes I felt like my entire upper body was on fire. I was red all over and my head felt tingly, so I decided to get in the shower to see if it would help. Next thing I know, my hands and knees have blue and purple blotches all over them. I felt like I was going to die. I yelled for my husband to check it out and he immediatly rushed me to the emergency room. But by the time the doctor came in and checked it out, it had gone away. I would never recommend this product to anyone. It is definately not a good feeling at all. Anonymous East Stroudsburg, PA USA |

- Very Good 8/17/2004 After reading all these other reviews, I realize that Zantrex-3 isn't for everyone, but I don't think it's all that bad if you take it the right way. I have been using it for about four days now and have had no bad side effects, other than having to use the bathroom a little more frequently. Then again, the main ingredient in the capsule is caffeine, so it really shouldn't be used by people not used to caffeine. Before starting with Zantrex-3, I had been drinking 3-4 Red Bull drinks per day (I'm a waitress and I need the energy), so my body is used to the high doses of caffeine. I had previously tried other diet pills, such as Xenadrine with ephedra (left a bad taste in my throat and was extremely unhealthy), Stacker-2 (made me so jittery I thought I would pass out), and green tea pills (not potent enough to work), and so far, Zantrex-3 has been the best. I have lost about 4 pounds so far, but everyone's weight naturally fluctuates day by day, so I'm waiting for a full week to go by to see if I've actually lost anything yet. The main thing to remember is that Zantrex affects everyone differently. A co-worker of mine (who recommended this to me) said that Zantrex-3 has diminished her appetite so much that she can't finish a full meal. As for me, my appetite is still there, but I am better able to resist snacking throughout the day, and the energy boost gets me up and moving, which are healthy ways to lose weight, unlike diet pills that make you want to skip meals altogether. With this pill, you WILL get sick if you don't take it with food, and you WILL feel jittery if you don't get up and move around. Eat healthy and exercise and you'll lose weight, but Zantrex 3 will give you a leg up on the process! Kelly Shields Chelsea, AL USA |

- Very Good 8/14/2004 I've only been taking Zantrex 3 for about a week, and thus far it is not that bad. I have taken other weight loss pills in the past however now since the ephedrine is out of them, they don’t seem to work as well. I was a little nauseous the first couple of days and I was only taking 2 pills a day, however I feels those of you who have experienced extreme nausea and/or worse conditions have exceeded your body’s intake limit. Many products list to start slow and I feel that if people follow the basic rule to do so, they will experience better results and fewer side effects. I like the product thus far, however only time will tell if it will work for me. I have not lost any weight yet, but I will recommend Zantrex to my friends if it works in the next couple of months.

- Not My Favorite 8/13/2004 I have been using Zantrex-3 for about two months. I am an avid runner that logs 30-40 miles per week. I was using the product because I wanted to drop 10-15 pounds for an event. The first 6 weeks was fine, then one morning it hit me while I was finishing my run. I felt like I was going to pass out, to the point I had to stop running immediately. Then I felt as if I had to go to the bathroom, followed by disorientation, anxiety and a shortness of breath. It lasted for about an hour which told me that it was the Zantrex. Maybe just a little bit too much caffeine. Just be careful when taking the product. Anonymous Jacksonville, NC USA |

- I Love It 8/12/2004 I really like Zantrex, and I have been on everything from herbalife (expensive) to straight caffine which makes you feel high. Yes, I did get one bad reaction, the rash but took some benadryl and it hasn't happened again and i'm not going to give up on it that easily. I am used to the caffine so it didnt make me jumpy. My husband loves me on it, as I am in a way better mood all day and if I may be so blunt, it makes my very horny everyday thats a great plus even without the weight loss. I have lost about 7lbs in 2 weeks and I take 2 pills, twice a day at 9am and 4pm. I can still sleep at nite. One thing I have found out, cut back on the high caffine and sugar pops, you don't need them anymore with Zantrex! Anonymous Arco, MN USA |

I took 2 pills, ate dinner, and then took a 1/2 mile run followed by a mile walk. Three hours after I took the pills, I was really sick to my stomach and dizzy. It felt like I was really drunk. I spent about an hour with my head on the toilet but I never threw up. I couldn't sleep so I was trying to read a People magazine when all of a sudden I couldn't read the words anymore. I could see the letters but it was like I lost the ability to read. I put the magazine down and just sat on the couch for a minute and then I started having trouble breathing. I felt like I was dying, I was so sick and dizzy and then I couldn't get enough air. I told my husband that I couldn't breathe and I started freaking out and said I needed to go to the hospital, it seemed like I couldn't get any air at all and the air I was getting seemed really hot, like breathing in air our of a baloon or something. My hubbie is a professional athlete and said that I just needed to calm down and breathe, which worked after about 10 minutes.

I have slowly started to change my diet, watching the carbs and calories, and have noticed most of the weight loss since then. Before I started taking Zantrex, I would come home after work and just want to eat and sleep! I had no energy at all! Now, I have tons of energy and motivation to get things done after work!

- Fair 6/2/2004 I have been taking Zantrex 3 roughly 2 weeks. I am not sure if I would recommend. For 2 days I took it according to the directions on the bottle and felt pretty normal, not any racing heartbeat, nor gitters. I guess you could say, I did find myself having a little more energy than normal. However, the third day I took it prior to breakfast, I had that rash that some others have talked about come out and right before the "allergic reaction" I felt a little burning in my stomach, not quite sure if I had to throw up or not. Then I felt hot and very flushed for about an hour or less, I wasnt sure if it was actually a bad thing because I had waited longer than 30 minutes to eat, so I went ahead and attempted taking them again, with the same results for two - three days fine, nothing then again this morning that same hot flushed feeling and "rash" looking thing on my face and upper body and thighs. So I dont know why only two days of all the 2 weeks this would happen but I personally am not going to continue with this product just for safety reasons, however it seemed to have given me some energy. Good Luck and just as some others have posted, dont rely on this product alone, I follow a nutrition plan, (not a diet) and exercise 5-6 days a week one to two times a day and have the same results. I was just going to give my body a harder jump on shedding body fat. So again Good Luck! Anonymous Mesilla Park, NM USA |

- I Love It 4/6/2004 The best way to start taking Zantrex is to open the capsule and half the contents. As taking one whole capsule to start is too much and can cause nervousness etc. As your body gets use to this amount slowly increase the dosage until you are on 1 whole capsule. A way to take the lose powder from the capsule is to wrap it in half a sheet of thin rizla paper, and swallow with a full glass of water. I am truly amazed but this product really works. JUST REMEMBER, to avoid unwanted side effects increase your intake of Zantrex very slowly. It is actually very powerful. Rose Edwards London, Shepherds Bush United Kingdom |

I felt very sick for 3 hours. I was also tired the rest of the day. I advise anyone against taking Zantrex. Gina G. Boston, MA USA |

- Not My Favorite 3/17/2004 I was looking to lose my final 10 lbs so I decided to use Zantrex, big mistake! I used Zantrex for about 2 weeks and I had serious side effects. I became so nervous or anxious that I could not sit still nor concentrate on important work and easily found myself distracted. After experiencing this, I cut my dosage, which did not help much. I started to feel sick to my stomach and felt very light headed which was accompanied by small headaches. This product made me feel incredibly uneasy. My face and hands would tingle for hours. I have a great exercise routine and a fairly decent diet and the only results from this product were negative ones. I did not lose weight and instead of giving me energy, the "caffeine" dosages made me sick. I would not recommend this product to anyone seeking to lose weight. Morgan Chasteen Williamston, SC USA |

- I Love It 3/17/2004 I have been taking this product for about a week and a half, and have already lost about 5 pounds. I've tried taking several other brands of diet pills, but none have worked. Zantrex is the only product that has done the trick! I have not had any negative symptoms from Zantrex. I do recommend that if you take this product, drink LOTS of water.

- Not My Favorite 3/16/2004 I tried Zantrex, at first it was the best thing since sliced bread. The weight came off with no exercising effort on my part and my energy level was wonderful. Another plus was no jitters or feeling of being high. I had no negative side effects at all. All of this was true and perfectly wonderful, until I took the last two pills of my first bottle. I was driving in to work when suddenly my hands, both palms, began to itch. They itched on and off for the next couple of days. My feet started to itch sporatically as well. Not putting two and two together I went to a local nutrition store and bought more Zantrex. Took it and the itching subsided, then came back fiercer than ever. Both hands and feet with a shoulder thrown in for good measure. I was about to go to the emergency room when it occurred to me that I was having an allergic reaction. I took some antihistamine medication which I happened to have and got some relief. I woke up the next day with the same symptioms and to get any relief at all, I had to take both the Zantrex and the antihistamine. I went to my doctor's office as soon as it opened that morning. She stated that I was having an allergic reaction and that it was a wonder I had not gone into anaphylactic(sic?)shock. My hands had swollen a little during this ordeal as well as my lower lip. I am now on stronger antihistamines until this stuff gets out of my system. My advice to anyone is to not use this product. R Shaw Memphis, TN USA |

- Very Good 3/7/2004 I have been taking this product for 3 days and have already lost a few lbs. I strongly recommend taking no more than 2 pills a day though. I had a panic attack when I took 4 pills. It definitely suppresses your appetite and gives you mental and physical energy. You do have to eat a decent meal after you take it or you will feel nauseous. Anonymous Ann Arbor, MI USA |

- Not My Favorite 3/1/2004 I found that I had a very severe reaction to this product. I had read the posible side effects. However, I didn't expect such a reaction. I took 2 pills. After 20 minutes I was BRIGHT red. I was burning. I felt sick. ( although I didn't vomit ) This reaction to the pills lasted for over 3 hours. I felt sick the rest of the day. I had a metalic taste in my mouth. I also felt shakey. Now I drink caffine based drinks & products but do not react to caffine in such a fashion. I did persevere with this product the next day. I reduced the dosage to 1 pill. I still had a reaction but not as severe. Linda Cox Deal, Kent United Kingdom |

- Not My Favorite 2/4/2004 Zantrex is not like Ephedra based products. I got a bottle due to the recent ban on Ephedra. This product is all hype and very expensive per serving. I could not sleep well during the first week on this product. After finishing one bottle, I did not gain any additional positive results (unlike products with Ephedra). Zantrex 3 is just full of caffeine! Save your money and just drink about 12 cups of coffee. Without Ephedra, these "new" products are worthless. Charles Wright Jr. Newark, CA USA |

- I Love It 1/19/2004 Before commenting, I just want to say that after reading all the reviews for this product, it is painfully obvious that this is a highly potent supplement and is not meant to work with everyone. Of course, following the instructions on eating is important to avoid the nausea but also, seeking proper guidance in regards to diet and exercise while taking any and all supplements should be obtained prior to ingesting this product. That being said, I found Zantrex to be highly effective. During the first three months I went from 19% body fat at 131lbs. to 11% at 124lbs. I am a personal trainerand full time student and stand only at 5ft 6in but this product helped me to gain energy and strength without getting bulky and it scored me a modeling contract with a fitness magazine. Diet and exercise alone will do the job but Zantrex just helped the process along its way. But it's not for everyone. I was jittery the first two weeks of taking this product but once my body adapted to it (since I had been taking the original Hydroxycut w/ Epehedrine for one year) the results came faster than I could track them. After six weeks, I only needed two pills a day (breakfast and lunch) to maintain my results. Good luck to everyone and remember to always consult a professional (not your friend, not your mother, not your co-worker) before beginning ANY diet and/or exercise program. Good luck everyone.

- I Love It 1/6/2004 I do love this product. It took a while to get used to Zantrex. I would not take take the recommended dosage. I think it is too much. I started with 1 a day, and then I worked my way up to three. You must eat within 30 minutes or you will feel nauseated. It is activated by food so you have to eat to lose weight. I found that I still ate the same things but I felt like eating less. I went from a size 10/12 to a 5/6. I also exercise, but I was having trouble staying motivated and not seeing results. I am on my third bottle and I am finally starting to really see the fat on my arms, hips and butt is dissappearing. In the middle of the second bottle, people who see me every day were suddenly saying that they noticed my weight loss. Like any product, you cannot expect it to be the answer to all of your weight management problems. You still have to exercise and eat right but Zantrex will definently give you the energy to exercise and burn more fat and then the exercising will start to give you more natural energy, then you get into a positive cycle!

I worked for a vitamin supplier for a short period and I had a chance to try everything. I previously took Ripped Fuel (makes you angry), Hydroxycut (not bad), Xenadrine(ok), Dymetadrine(pretty good), and Stacker(pretty good). I was impressed with Zantrex after only taking it for a week now. It definitly gives you energy and I seem to be getting pretty shreaded and that's without dieting religiously. I definitly would recommend this to anyone. They will definitly have my business in the future! Brian USA |

- Very Good 11/14/2003 After having my 3 children, I have gained alot of weight. I'm 31 years old and weigh in at 278 lbs. I started taking Zantrex 3 about 3 weeks ago and I'm now 265. I did take 2 pills in the morning and also in the afternoon, but that was to much for me. I did get the jitters so I'm now taking one pill and feel great. I have more energy and more motivation to get out their and walk. I have tried Weight Watchers, Metobolite, Trim Spa and also Meridia and I didn't seem to loose the weight like I am with Zantrex 3. I have a wedding to attend in June 2004 and of course I'm in it and I have to wear a dress with spaghetti straps so I have to get this weight off. I also have 3 chidren that I want to start enjoying my life with them and do the things a normal mom would do. Amber USA |

- Not My Favorite 9/10/2003 I was an avid fan of Xenadrine RFA and lost a little over 15 lbs in a month. I live in Illinois, where ephedra has been banned, so when I read about Zantrex 3, I was excited about trying something new and "better." However, what I got in the end was disappointment. Over the period of a month, I did not lose any weight while taking Zantrex. I did not have more energy, nor did it suppress my appetite. I was left only with a dull ache in the back of my head. I will not be purchasing Zantrex 3 again. Amanda Springfield, IL USA |
