T5 Thermobolic

T5 Thermobolic Review

We see a lot of diet pills on the market that come under the loose description of fat burners and this is a popular way to lose weight. It is not without risks. Some fat burners contain dangerous stimulants that can have unforeseen side effects and not everyone enjoys the jittery buzz that these tablets can cause.

T5 looks like one of the better pills on the market. The product website provides a clear ingredients list, which includes quantities so you will be able to gauge the effects before you buy.

T5 includes high levels of caffeine combined with capsicum extract and green tea among its eight ingredients and a point in its favour is that nothing looks dangerous. T5 does not contain synephrine or bitter orange extract and although the caffeine will not suit everyone, at least you have some idea of what to expect in advance.

The T5 Thermobolic product website is crisp and easy to navigate and conveys a high quality image. There is plenty of information and special offers available on buying T5 in larger packages.

Recently T5 Thermobolic teamed up with three djs from radio station Radio Wave 36.5 FM. They took a T5 challenge over 12 weeks to see how much weight they could lose.

Each week there was a live weigh in on air to tell customers how they felt and ultimately how much weight they lost. All three DJS kept to a sensible diet and engaged in light workouts three times a week.

Results were impressive. DJ Rob Lynch reported weight loss of 7lbs and felt that T5 stopped him snacking. Ged Mills lost 16lbs in 8 weeks, going from 15st 6 to 14st 4lbs and Hayley Key lost 15lbs in total over the 12 weeks.

We like this level of weight loss. The NHS advises that you should aim to lose 2lbs a week so this is within safe guidelines. The three DJS made dietary and lifestyle changes as well as taking T5 and it seems extremely likely if you do the same, you will lose comparable amounts of weight too. Many people like the support of a diet pill and this one did seem to help the weight loss regime.

Pro Muscle Products sell a range of supplements that address health and weight issues but the focus is on bodybuilding and weight training more than the casual dieter.

As well as T5 Thermobolic, you can find hormone stack products such as Prohormones Full Combo Stack – Epi, Trenavol, Megavol & PCT , Whey shakes such as Pro Muscle Whey Pack , and Pro Muscle Pre Workout Ignite – a package of powder and capsules designed to help you maximise your workout.

Here at the Watchdog we do not really delve into the world of bodybuilding. However many similar supplement companies provide capsules and diet pills that have a wider appeal than their usual client base of gym nuts.

One worrying feature of T5 Thermobolic is that this supplement has attracted very little attention from the public. There is a lack of customer feedback about this diet pill and a possible reason could be because T5 Thermobolic has the image and design style of a powerful bodybuilding supplement but actually looks pretty safe.

What Does T5 Thermobolic Claim To Do?

According to the advertising;

T5 can help you burn off up to 10lbs in 8 days

We are sceptical about this statement. It exceeds the safe limits of weight loss and the much publicised weight loss trial did not work as fast as this.

The website states;

T5 Thermobolic Evolution promotes safe and healthy weight loss by increasing metabolism and regulating energy levels throughout the day. The increase in metabolic rate burns fat throughout the day more effectively than short bursts of intense exercise

This seems a little questionable too. We cannot see how this capsule will regulate energy levels throughout the day. The principle ingredient is caffeine and although this can help increase the metabolism, effects are usually within half an hour of taking. In addition, once the body becomes accustomed to caffeine the metabolism boosting effect often slows down as does weight loss.

According to the advertising;

T5 is just a fancy name for the phrase ‘Thermogenic Metabolism Booster’ – in layman’s terms, T5 burns calories.

In addition the advertising states that T5 “stimulates your metabolism for the entire day.” Again, we cannot see how taking the equivalent of 2 or 3 cups of coffee in the morning will have a long lasting effect all day.

Does T5 Thermobolic Work?

We think it probably does work a bit, although not as drastically as some of the claims such as 15 lbs in two weeks. As with the Djs, T5 Thermobolic may help you lose weight when combined with a new diet and health regime. Of course make these changes without taking a diet pill and you will probably lose weight anyway but T5 Thermobolic may help keep you focused.

Caffeine can promote short-lived weight loss and some clinical evidence suggests that when combined with green tea it may help burn fat. However this metabolism boosting effect will probably not last for long because once your body becomes accustomed to extra caffeine the effects can be lost.

What Are The Ingredients of T5 Thermobolic?

T5 Thermobolic is a fat burner diet pill that may help increase the speed of the metabolism and help you burn fat. Quantities here in serving size of two capsules.

• Acetyl L Carnitine (20mg): Amino acid that helps the body convert fat into energy. Your body makes this substance in the kidneys and liver and stores it in the muscles, heart and brain.
  Taking L Carnitine supplements can be effective for some medical conditions including depression and elderly memory loss but there is no evidence that it improves weight loss or exercise performance.

• Green Tea 80% Extract (40mg): Green Tea is a source of antioxidants including ECGC a potent polyphenol and has numerous medical benefits. Reports have shown that green tea extract intake is associated with increased weight loss due to stimulating thermogenesis. However, at 40mg, this is likely to be insufficient to have much of an effect.

• Brazilian Cocoa Extract (150mg): Cocoa and chocolate is the usual way of taking cocoa extract but there are health benefits too. Cocoa is rich in theobromine, which is well known as a blood vessel widener, and rich in Epicathicin an antioxidant that may help promote the metabolism boosting effect. The Brazilian Cocoa Extract contained in T5 may be in a branded supplement sold by another Lancashire based company Blackburn Distributions who specialise in sports supplement ingredients.
• Capsicum Extract (120mg): When taken in sufficient quantities, some research has indicated that high levels of capsaicoinds increases the metabolism and promote fat burning. One clinical test carried out in Thailand found that after eating 5g of chilli peppers the metabolism was increased for 30 minutes after ingestion.

• Caffeine (200mg): A medium sized cup of filter coffee contains around 100mg of caffeine so this is the equivalent of two cups. Clinical evidence suggests that when taken in combination with green tea, as here, caffeine is effective for promoting a metabolism boosting effect.
• Guarana (25mg): Natural South American berry, which contains twice the amount of caffeine than coffee. When combined with green tea there is some evidence it can help promote weight loss
• Niacin (Vitamin B3) (35mg): When taken at high levels vitamin B3 can lower cholesterol levels and promote heart health. However if you know you have high cholesterol it is important to see your doctor and not self medicate. High doses of vitamin B3 can cause liver problems and ulcers so can be potentially dangerous.
  The RDA for vitamin B3 is only 35mg for all adults and is present in many foods including green veg and eggs. Common side effects include stomach upsets, flushing and facial redness if you have too much of it.

• Bioperine (Black Pepper Extract) (9mg): Clinical tests reveal that Bioperine may increase the absorption of other ingredients, which will make them more effective.

Does T5 Thermobolic Have Any Side Effects?

There may be side effects, mainly around the high level of caffeine contained in this supplement. You may noticed itching or skin redness if your diet already includes plenty of B3.

We have been unable to find any independent customer feedback but according to the three DJS, there were no particular health issues around this supplement.

Potential side effects may include;

• Headaches
• Jitteriness
• Increased heart rate
• Elevated blood pressure

• Insomnia (if you take too close to bed time)

According to the product information;

Do not use this product if you are taking any prescription medication, have high or low blood pressure, pregnant, diabetic or susceptible to a stroke or if you have heart, liver, kidney or thyroid disease.
