Micronamin M2

Micronamin M2 Review

Micronamin M2 is a thermogenic weight loss supplement that is also designed to be taken as a pre-workout. The formula works by giving customers a source of “extended release” energy that can help to boost the metabolism and fuel muscle-building workouts. The capsules provided in each pack of M2 are designed to be taken directly before workouts or meals, and due to their high caffeine content, they must not be taken anytime in the late afternoon or evening.

This fat burner is manufactured by Micronamin, a US-based company that was founded in 2015 by two disabled veterans. Micronamin claims to be a company that was “built by veterans to serve veterans”. The group not only promises to develop supplements that are designed in consultation with US army veterans, but also aims to donate 10% of its profits to charities that support military veterans.

Micronamin’s listed email address is [email protected] However, as of 2018 Micronamin’s website address and Amazon sales pages appear to be controlled by another supplement manufacturer (Robin Hood Supplements), and Micronamin’s social media pages appear to have been inactive for much of the year. Although we cannot be 100% sure, it appears that Micronamin has been taken over by Robin Hood Supplements, and so customers looking to contact the company may have to go through them ([email protected]).

What Does Micronamin M2 Claim To Do?

Micronamin M2 is advertised as a thermogenic weight loss supplement, which works by artificially raising the body’s temperature and metabolism in order to burn fat and calories. It also gives customers a significant burst of energy that supposedly lasts throughout the day, making it appropriate to take in the morning or directly before an intense workout.

In addition to the above benefits, Micronamin claim that their product can act as an appetite suppressant, helping dieters to avoid “unnecessary calories” throughout the day.

Does Micronamin M2 Work?

M2 uses a heady mixture of caffeine, green tea, synephrine, and Yohimbe, a group of ingredients which tend to work well together to create a thermogenic, fat-burning effect (at the expense of a host of unpleasant side effects). The strong stimulant effect we associate with caffeine and synephrine mixes should also provide a significant burst of energy, and the manufacturers balancing of quick-release and slow-release energy sources should help this effect to remain strong and long-lasting.

The other ingredients found in this product are either mood-boosting nootropic ingredients, or diuretic ingredients that make you urinate more often. There is nothing in this product that should act as an appetite suppressant, although some customers find that the side effects associated with caffeine/synephrine make them feel too sickly to want to eat much.

Overall, this product should work well as a thermogenic fat burner and pre-workout, with customer reviews generally finding it to be effective.

What Are The Ingredients of Micronamin M2?

The ingredients used in Micronamin M2 are listed below. The ingredient quantities listed are correct for 1 capsule.

• Microencapsulated Caffeine (Extended Release Caffeine) 200mg
• Caffeine from Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Leaf Extract (Immediate Release Caffeine) 50mg: Numerous studies have shown that caffeine boosts energy levels and alertness, as well as mildly boosting the metabolism. The effects shown in studies are small, and some studies are inconclusive. This product provides caffeine doses in a variety of forms, so as to ensure that customers receive a sharp initial energy boost that can be maintained for longer. Source
• Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Leaf Extract 200mg: Green tea is high in a group of antioxidants called catechins. Studies have suggested that catechins increase thermogenesis in the body, whilst caffeine increases energy expenditure by boosting the metabolism slightly for few hours. Source
• Glucuronolactone 150mg: This ingredient is commonly found in energy drinks, but virtually no scientific research has been conducted on it. One trial conducted on rats found that glucuronolactone failed to affect exercise performance or energy/exhaustion levels. Source
• Microencapsulated Phenethylamine HCL 100mg: More commonly known as PEA, this ingredient is derived from the amino acid phenylalanine. It is thought to increase alertness, aid in concentration and focus, and may also enhance mood, which are all arguably traits that dieters need help with in succeeding with their weight loss attempts. However, its safety has been questioned, especially as it bears similarities to amphetamines. Source
• Synephrine Caprylate 25mg: A review of numerous studies concluded that use of synephrine resulted in an increase to the participants resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure, and moderate weight loss was seen in studies lasting over 6 weeks. However, there are some concerns about its safety being under-researched and the numerous side effects that have been associated with it. Source
• Nettle Leaf Extract 25mg: A diuretic, nettle is used for treating urination problems and bloating from water retention. Source
• Niacin (as Inositol Niacinate) 20mg (100% DV): One form of niacin (a vitamin), Inositol Niacinate has been found in studies to increase blood flow by widening blood vessels. It is also used for lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Inositol is also used to treat anxiety, but this requires high doses. Source
• Vinpocetine 5mg: Because it is an entirely synthetic chemical, that requires significant lab-work to produce, there is some debate as to whether this ingredient actually qualifies as a supplement under US and FDA guidelines. Vinpocetine may increase blood flow to the brain, and so may help to treat fatigue and improve memory; despite claims about research being extensive, most research is outdated and uses biased research methods. Source
• Pausinystalia Yohimbe bark extract (Yohimbine) 3mg: Some studies have noticed increased blood concentrations of free fatty acids in participants who use yohimbe extract, suggesting increased rates of lipolysis. However, the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database has stated that there is insufficient evidence to claim it aids in weight loss. Source

Does Micronamin M2 Have Any Side Effects?

Like many other weight loss products that rely on a strong stimulant effect, M2 could cause a number of serious side effects, including heart palpitations and headaches.

The main driving source of side effects is the high caffeine content, which can cause problems like headaches, an increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, increased urination, dehydration, jitteriness, dizziness, and insomnia. The green tea from which much of the caffeine is sourced can also cause constipation.

Other stimulants used in this product can also causer issues, especially when combined with caffeine. Phenethylamine works in a similar way to the drug amphetamine, and may cause similar side effects (including a rapid heart rate, anxiety, or agitation). Side effects associated with Synephrine include an increased heart rate and increased blood pressure, heart palpitations, fainting, and even heart attacks and strokes in healthy patients. The effects of synephrine are enhanced when combined with caffeine, the main ingredient in M2.

Yohimbe can cause a wide range of side effects, including stomach upset, excitation, tremor, sleep problems, anxiety or agitation, high blood pressure, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, stomach problems, drooling, sinus pain, irritability, headache, frequent urination, bloating, rash, nausea, and vomiting. High doses can cause more severe effects. Finally, nettle leaves act as a diuretic and so increased urination is an expected side effect.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Micronamin M2?

Micronamin M2 has highly positive reviews on Amazon, but this may be more due to fakery than real customer support. We checked the 23 reviews placed on M2’s Amazon product page on the review-checking website FakeSpot, and found that many appear to have been faked by the manufacturers. This of course only refers to the reviews that are still on the page – we’ve also seen evidence that at least 8 have been removed by Amazon over the last year due to fakery! We don’t really trust this positive reaction for these reasons, and we’ve taken care to pick out the more trustworthy reviews for your perusal below.

When I do take this supplement, I notice a clear difference. I have more clarity of thought, and I have more “sustained” energy with some bursts. For example: previous to taking M2, I would struggle to make 20-30 minutes of weights with 15-20 minutes of a steady 8 minute per mile run on the treadmill; and now, I can blow through 30+ minutes of weights and 30+ minutes of the treadmill with no problem. When I get up earlier than usual for work, I take one M2 pill and I feel a definite enhancement. I notice the effects approximately 15 minutes after taking one pill and it lasts approximately 6-8 hours. However, due to my body and mind working harder, it is noticeably drained once the effects of the pill wear off. I only take the pill before a workout (4 times a week) and when I need to get up earlier for work (2 times a month), so I don’t take it daily. I will provide more feedback regularly.

it was good . I would recommend this product for use and not jittery at all..

love it. Works great. Feel slim already only in 3 days.

Great product and I love that supports our military veterans.

I’ve had better, I’ve had worse!

In any case, neither manufacturer appears to have any kind of returns policy or money-back guarantee scheme.
