Burn 60 Review

What You Should Know

GNC’s Burn 60 is marketed as a thermogenic formula that helps to raise metabolism, burn calories and boost energy levels. For best results, Burn 60 should be used with the healthy diet and exercise program included a part of the product package. Burn 60’s ingredients increase post-workout calorie burning by up to 60 percent, making your exercise more efficient, according to the manufacturer.

Ingredients

Guarana Seed Extract, Black Tea Leaves Extract, Grape Skin and Seed Extract, Ginger Root Extract, Dill Weed Extract, Cellulose, Natural Vanilla Flavor, Cinnamon bark extract, FD&C Yellow 6 Lake, Dextrose, Titanium Dioxide and FD&C Red #40 Lake.

Product Features

Burn 60 is one of the weight loss products sold by GNC, a nationwide retail vitamin and supplement chain.  The marketing materials for Burn 60 always refer to the product leading to “additional calorie burning” during and after workouts, so it is safe to assume that it has little effect as a weight loss product without the inclusion of some type of exercise. Burn 60 is in the Thermogenic category on the GNC website, which means that it is supposed to work by increasing metabolism and causing the body to burn fat. Thermogenic products have been shown to be effective in weight loss. However, with the exception of mega doses of the  ingredient guarana seed extract, combined with the caffeine in black tea, there don’t seem to be any ingredients which would boost the metabolism, and it is questionable as to how safe using such a large dose of stimulants might be. In online reviews some users reported sweating more during and after exercise, so any weight loss achieved could be due to water weight lost from so much perspiration. Besides these stimulants, Burn 60 also contains several products thought to have an effect in calming the stomach and warding off headaches-two conditions that can occur with the ingestion of too much caffeine. Burn 60 is available on the GNC website for $29.99 (60 tablets) plus shipping and handling.

Advantages

• Burn 60 is made by a well known supplement manufacturer and distributor.
• Burn 60 comes with a healthy diet guide and exercise program.

Disadvantages

• The main ingredient in Burn 60 is a strong stimulant.
• There are very mixed customer reviews for Burn 60 on the Internet.
• Burn 60 does not offer sample trials, and no money back guarantee is in evidence on the official website.

Conclusion

Burn 60 is one of many products that claim to increase calorie burning potential.  The ingredient that promotes this is a powerful stimulant.  While this approach could in fact work, it is probably not the safest way to go about losing weight. Many people experience headaches, nausea and tremors from ingesting too much caffeine, and in some case it can cause serious reactions.  Many online reviewers confirmed that they experienced some of these serious symptoms.  There are thermogenic products on the market, without the large doses of caffeine, which have research to back up their safety and effectiveness. Dieters should seek out weight loss supplements with safer ingredients and clinical research to support their manufacturers’ claims.
