You'll no doubt get sucked in by the next "thermogenic" pill that comes down the pike.

Tried Xenadrine? There's another phony compound that has "studies" behind it.

How about Creatine? Another highly-touted, extremely expensive waste of money.

I've read about all of them, as I lift weights, seriously.

None of 'em work, except anabolic steroids, and I'm not going anywhere near those.

Me neither. Nor will I get "sucked in" by the next "thermongenic pill." No need for it. I would have serious doubts about the next one to come along and I don't fall for fake studies. I'm too intelligent for that.

You however have obviously not learned how to discern real science form marketing hype studies. To state that "ephedrine doesn't work" is sheer ignorance.

Oh yeah, I had to laugh at your post for another reason. Other than ephedrine, I would say Creatine is just about the only other "sports supplement" that actually does anything. Don't take that myself either, but if someone were to ask what works and what doesn't, I'd put my money on Creatine and Ephedrine. The first is harmless, the second can be dangerous in exceptionally rare circumstances. For me, the first is out b/c I don't feel I need it. The second just makes me uncomfortable (have used it in the past) and I don't personally like it. Nevertheless, both work (the few that do) and I really don't care for the government making decisions my decisions for me - whether it is the right decision or not.

For people with the right body chemistry, creatine works. Never taken it myself, but I've seen the results firsthand and there's no denying it.
