Hi I'm looking for anyone that's ever tried either of these two (hydroxycut and xenadrine)and could give me any feedback on them. They are both ephedrine/caffeine/asprin stacks. I'm just wondering how well they worked, any side effects, and how long you were on it for. Thanks. IP: Logged |

I've been on Xenedrine, personally I don't really like it. All it really does it make you shakey. I makes you kinda pumped to work out, I guess b/c of the stack. I think this drug's more of a mind over matter type thing. But that's just my opinion. I even upped the dosage to try and boost it. I think you take 2 pills 3x a day, I took 3-4 3 times a day. If you go to GNC that's all they recommend for you. I've never tried Hydroxycuts, but I've heard a lot of good stuff about it. How much weight are you looking to lose? Do you do cardio & lift?

I do cardio 4 times/week and I lift 4-5 times a week but I still have a good 10-15lbs. I'd like to get rid of IP: Logged |

Wife does the Hydroxy stuff and seems to like it. I think the best plan would be to cycle the C/E/A stack and Clen every two weeks to keep your body from getting used to the effects. LAte Lobo IP: Logged |

Currently using Xenadrine, but have been using ephedrine for the last year or so. I found myself to be very volatile for the first couple of days, but that is tapering. In the first week, I have lost ~2.5 lbs of the 8 I needed to lose. Since your body does acclimate to ephedrine, it is best to do 2 weeks on and 2 off. IP: Logged |

Hi LadyJaye! Gosh, I agree w/ Danni 100%. I've not tried the Hydroxycut either. I have used the Xenadrine and took about 4 pills the first day. I couldn't sleep that night! I was watching TV, doing laundry, reading magazines, and just wanting to clean house at 3 in the morning!!! I cut way-back that next day. I only took 2/day for a few days. Now, I'm taking it 2-3 times/day w/ 2 pills ea. time. I've not been on it for a full week, yet. I do plan to cut it after two weeks because I don't want my body to get used to it! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Thanx everyone - I've been getting really good information and I appreciate it. I'm also looking into ripped fuel too. I may post a question on that also. I'm still not sure what I'm going to try yet because some other people I've been talking to said that while on xenadrine they really didn't want to eat at all so when they went to the gym they felt weak, I don't want that to happen because while I want to lose weight I still want to build muscle. Thanx again for the info! IP: Logged |

Hydroxycut is the #1 fat burner right now. I work at Gnc and we carry every variation of it and hydroxcut works the best out of all of them. There is a new brand out coming soon, though i cant remember the name, it is better than hydroxycut and xenadrine. Its add is in the new musclemag. It comes in a black bottle check it out. If u wanna go with a more potent drug like substance, go with--clenbuterol. If u are willing. ---Peace, sweetness IP: Logged |

I've tried both..hydroxycut and Xenadrine both work equally well. I just buy whatever is cheaper. My girlfriend seems to favor Xenadrine it does seem to work better for her.. IP: Logged |

lady-j, i have tried most of those thermo's,stackers,ripped fuel xenadrine,and as i was skeptical to try hydroxycuts,(mainly because musclemag-int.hypes it so much)i have found that nothing has worked better or quicker than hydroxy-cuts..go for it, i think you will love the results.you may have to take more than your used to taking at 1 time, but the results will be worth it.oh, and by the way..ido think ripped fuel is just as over-rated as xenadrine....good-luck IP: Logged |

You need to add some Citramax to the x stack to get better results. I think the hydroxy works better for me. I'm currently using them both. I've never found clen to be very effective on me. The most important thing to remeber with either is to take the product prior to your meals. BPP IP: Logged |

Hello, I have been using Hydroxycut for some time now on and off. For you women, try using hydroxycut (remember to build up to recommended dosage on back of bottle), and go to your local Wal-Mart or K-mart and by some distilled water and drink all day. Tastes like shit, but after a week of combined cardio, distilled water, and hydroxycut, I promise you'll have the cuts and look you want. I see results in three days that way. I usually use about 6 lbs right off the bat within three days after coming off of a bulking cycle. I have yet to try clen. Thinking about it. but happy with Hydrox IP: Logged |

Hydroxycut contains ephedra alkaloids while Xenedrine contains pure ephedrine. Pure ephedrine works better to burn fat, so I would go with products that contain pure ephedrine. IP: Logged |

Hydroxycut is o.k. at helping to burn fat but I think the ECA stack is better. The difference is that they use ephedra alkaloids in hydroxycut and ephedrine in the ECA stack. Just my opinion. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Y2Kylee (edited March 19, 2000).] IP: Logged |

LADYJADE GO WITH THE E/C/A/ STACK BUT TRY TACKING IT WITH A GLASS OF GRAPEFRUIT JUICE. IT WILL SUPERCHARGE THE ABSORPTION RATE OF THESE DRUGS! IP: Logged |

Hydroxycut is OK but ripped fuel is cheaper and gives a better Kick. Their basically the same formulas. IP: Logged |

I've been on Xenedrine for a week and I love it so far. lost 4 lbs already. I Always have energy and helps with my appetite. In some of the other boards alot of peple are talking about MD6, you might want to look into that. And whatever you do, DO NOT but supplements from GNC, they are way overpriced. There are plenty of websites that have the same stuff for alot cheaper, Try discountnutrition.com. IP: Logged |
