Maximuscle states their Thermobol tablets are just the thing for people who are striving to reach their “lean definition goals”, but although they may offer weight loss benefits it is important to remember the tablets are really designed for people who are involved in sporting or muscle building pursuits.
Three tablets provide 444mg of caffeine and nearly a gram of bitter orange peel powder.
Both ingredients can provide powerful stimulation, which may prove useful in a gym environment, but is unlikely to be necessary for people who are only wishing to shed a few pounds.
Advertised benefits are:
- Supports energy metabolism and focus
- High in B Vitamins
- Contains chromium to help maintain blood glucose levels
Key Ingredients & Blend Potential
Each (1 tablet) dose provides:
- Bitter Orange Peel (325mg): Synephrine, the active ingredient in Bitter Orange is a powerful stimulant that can increase the metabolic rate and trigger the fat burning process.
- L-Tyrosine (300mg): An amino acid that improves thyroxin synthesis by stimulating the thyroid gland. The thyroid governs energy usage within the body; so L-Tyrosine is often used to provide a boost to the metabolism.
- L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (300mg): An amino acid that is often used to boost energy levels and has also shown some promise as a fat burner.
- Caffeine (148mg): A stimulant that can boost concentration, provide extra energy, speed the metabolism, and encourage fat burning. The amount provided here is similar to that obtained from 1 ½ standard-size cups of instant coffee.
- Green Tea Extract (100mg): Green tea is one of the most respected fat burners in the world. A study [http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/70/6/1040.full] conducted at the turn of the century reveals green tea’s abilities can be increased when it is incorporated into formulations that also contain caffeine, as is the case here.
- Guarana Seed Power (12mg): An extra dose of caffeine, courtesy of an Amazonian shrub. Guarana releases its caffeine content slowly, thereby providing longer lasting benefits.
- Black Pepper Extract (5mg): The active ingredient in black pepper extract is an alkaloid called piperine. It can boost the metabolism and aid fat burning, but is more commonly praised for its ability to ensure the smooth absorption of other ingredients.
- Chromium (67µg): An ingredient that can be good for helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Chromium also has a longstanding reputation as a fat burner.
- Cayenne Extract (0.1mg): A powerful thermogen that can boost the metabolism and cause calories to be burned 12 times faster than usual. It’s a good inclusion, but the pitifully low inclusion rate here makes its addition nothing more than a token gesture.
- Vitamin B5 (6mg), Vitamin B1 (1.1mg), Vitamin B12 (2.5µg), Vitamin B7 (50µg): B Vitamins are required for an efficient metabolism, so the addition of so many of them in a blend such as this is neither uncommon nor a surprise.
Thermobol Customer Feedback
Customer feedback suggests the tablets may work for some people, but not for others.
A few sample customer testimonials read:
Thermobol is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. People who have existing health problems should always seek medical advice before using any brand of dietary supplement or commencing any new training activity or weight management program. The same advice is offered to people who are taking medication(s) or have any worries or concerns about their health or the suitability of the product. A 40 day money back guarantee is offered, but getting a refund will require jumping through some hoops. Customers need to have used the product for 30 days, in the recommended manner, while maintaining a healthy diet and following a sensible training regimen. They will also need to return any unsued product (including the original packaging) along with their training records and meal plans. Once all the aforementioned has been received, Maximuscle says they will review the information to see if customers “qualify” for a refund. Maximuscle also states the refund amount will be calculated on a “proportionate basis to reflect how much of the product has been used”. These rules apply to sales made via the Maximuscle website. Independent retailers are apparently “not obliged to offer the same level of service”. Thermobol is sold in quantities of 30 or 90 tablets. A bottle of 90 tablets costs £29.99 from the Maximuscle online store. Postage and packaging is extra, but charges are waived on all order of £30 or more placed by customers who reside in the UK. Many online retailers also stock the tablets and prices tend to range from £20 to £38 per (90 tablet) bottle. Side Effects & Health Issues
