All DietsWhat You Should Know
VPX Meltdown is a “kitchen sink” type of weight loss aid, meaning that it does not focus on one theory of weight loss but mixes several ingredients with different effects. VPX Meltdown is marketed to men but would work equally as well on women.
According to VPX Meltdown’s marketing, it will increase mental clarity, and burn fat at an unprecedented rate. VPX uses ingredients meant to increase metabolism, burn fat, and suppress cravings all in the same product. We’ll have a closer look at the ingredients in VPX Meltdown below to see if it is likely to be able to deliver on those promises.
We were unable to locate an official website for VPX Meltdown which concerns us. The highest-rated weight loss aids produce dedicated websites that thoroughly explain the product. We will be relying on descriptions drafted by third party online retailers. We did not find any indication of a manufacturer’s money-back guarantee or product samples available before purchase. VPX Meltdown retails for around $37 for 40 pills. At the suggestion ingestion rate of 1-2 pills 2-3 times per day, a bottle would last 6-20 days which makes the monthly cost quite expensive compared with competitive products.
Ingredients
According to several third part retailers, the ingredients in VPX Meltdown are Caffeine Anhydrous, M-TTA (Methyl Tetradecythioaetic Acid), Yerba Mate Extract, 3′-5′-cAMP (3′-5′-Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate), Methyl-Synephrine HCI, R-beta-Methylphenylethylamine, N-Methyl-beta-Phenylethylamine, 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine, Yohimbine HCI, alpha-Yohimbine, and Methyl-Hordenine HCI.
Product Features
VPX Meltdown claims that it has developed some of the ingredients in its own laboratories and that this is why the product is so effective. However, without clinical testing being written up in a respected and peer-reviewed journal, there is no way to confirm those claims. We do like to see that thermogenesis is one of the weight loss methods targeted by VPX Meltdown. Thermogenesis is a process in the body that generates heat, increases metabolism, and breaks down adipose (fat) tissue. Caffeine is a common thermogenic ingredient in weight loss products and it is in VPX Meltdown along with Yerba Mate, a rainforest plant that contains a gentler form of caffeine.
VPX Meltdown also contains methyl-synephrine, a chemical cousin to the now-banned ingredient, ephedra, a powerful appetite suppressant. None of the other ingredients in VPX Meltdown peak our interest as many are common weight loss aid ingredients.
Advantages
- Contains proven thermogenic ingredients.
- Widely available from online retailers.
Disadvantages
- No official web presence.
- No money-back guarantee.
- No links to clinical trials supporting the effectiveness of the product or its ingredients.
- May cause nausea. (See reader comments.)
Conclusion
We find VPX Meltdown to be a middle-of-the-pack weight loss aid. We would have been more impressed if it had contained green tea extract along with the caffeine as both work together synergistically. Keep in mind that if you do choose to try this product, you may not be able to get your money back if it doesn’t meet your expectations.
Actually, there are links to studies that support this product. I’m not sure about the official online product page, but Bodybuilding.com has a very long and detailed description of the product.
Re: Green tea – sort of a ‘meh’ ingredient as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve just started Meltdown and am using it because it creates a less fragile energy with zero jitters – even though it has caffeine, methyl-synephrine, and yohimbe.

Very stable energy. Careful when doing extensive cardio tho, as on some stomaches the three types of Yohimbine can cause problems with nausia.

Thanks for the heads up!

The bottle sold for the price listed at the top has 120 pills, 40 servings. Not 40 pills. Also, the bottle reads (as i’m looking at it right now): “Never exceed 3 total capsules daily or in a single dose.” Making it over a month’s supply. The monthly price is quite average compared to other fat burners.

I just finished my first bottle of meltdown and I lost 9lbs but along with diet and some exercise. I recommend to just start with one and see how it agrees with your stomach. It made me feel nausious when I took it but went away within ten to tweenty minutes.

I am looking for a fat burner and was impressed by the write-up about Meltdown. I want to make sure before buying it that it is safe and would love to hear more feedback/comments.
[Reply]
This fat burner is great. I’ve been using it a week now. I started with one capsule the first week and up my dosage to two capsule the sencond week. I saw a difference in my mid area after one week of usage. But thats with going to the gym three times a week and eating healthy.

If you visit VPX.com it has FAQ’s and other info on this product…It is the official online product page for this product and you can also see transformation photos and testimonies… I just purchased my first bottle and will see how this product work for myself..I have tried many other products over the years since the ban of ephedra and we will see if this product lives up to its claim. Just remember that there is a role that we must play in this and it is called exercise and diet….the pill will not do much on it’s own, although I have read some reviews that make that claim, but everyone is different…..Good Luck

Has anyone used the Coutour Belt? Does it work?
[Reply]
The contour belt DOES work your abs. HOWEVER, you have to want to sit with it on your stomach from 45-60 minutes a day. ALSO, this only helps firm your muscles, and diet is really the only way to get rid of the flab, so unless you incorperate a healthy diet regimen, you will have firm ab muscles under the flab instead of untoned muscles under flab.
Plus, to really get decent results, you need to turn the intensity up pretty high, and it IS jarring, even when you think you are use to it. One last thing, the pads need to be replaced after about 30-40 uses.
