What You Should Know
Stacker 2 Yellow Hornet is an ephedra-free version of an energy supplement that was once very popular. The original formula for Yellow Hornet contained ephedra, but when ephedra was banned Stacker, along with most other companies, reformulated supplements to remove the ephedra. The reformulation meant adding other stimulants to the mix to try and mimic the ephedra effect. In most cases, synephrine was used for this purpose, but Stacker 2 chose to combine yohimbine, yerba mate, guarana, kola nut and quite a large amount of caffeine. This supplement is not safe for the average dieter as it will cause nausea, jitters, shakes, racing heart rate and possibly increased blood pressure. If you are currently taking any prescription medications it is best to skip this supplement all together.
List of Ingredients
Ingredients:
- Yohimbine Alkaloids
- Yerba Mate
- Guarana
- Kola Nut
- Capsaicin
- Caffeine Anhydrous – 300mg
Product Features
Yohimbine, yerba mate, guarana, kola nut and caffeine are all stimulants. There is a whopping 300 mg of caffeine per dose of Stacker 2 Yellow Hornet. Over the counter anti-sleep medications tend to have about 200 mg per dose and those are known to cause negative side effects and, by definition, prevent sleep. Stacker 2 Yellow Hornet packs an additional 100 mg of caffeine and four other stimulants into the mix. The end result is longer lasting caffeine high that may leave the dieter feeling more sick than energetic.
Caffeine is proven to boost metabolism, but taking more caffeine does not increase this effect. Ideally, the dieter can consume as little as 75 mg of caffeine and metabolism will increase. Many dieters consume more than that in the first cup of coffee each morning. Caffeine has a lifespan of 12 hours, so taking this much caffeine means after 6 hours there will still be 150 mg of caffeine left in the body. Even if the dieter takes the supplement early in the day, they could still have trouble sleeping at night.

Conclusion
Stacker 2 Yellow Hornet may no longer contain ephedra, but the company sure packed in the caffeine and stimulants. This is not a safe alternative to proven fat burners and we found no free trials available so a dieter could take a dose to judge how the body reacts.

Just took these after a sap of energy over the weekend. The instructions purely state to take one after eating, and to absolutely positively no matter what take all 4 within a one day period much less all 4 in one time. This product is dangerous to those who do not pay attention to warning labels or those without common sense. The key for this is to take it with food… not by itself. It worked for me and helped my performance at work after expending myself on a 40 mile bike ride the previous weekend. If you have any conditions or diseases of any kind, ask your physician for something to help you with energy loss. This is a energy supplement for those who dont have it because of rigorous training, excercise, or work. This product is very helpful depending on your situation. Please take care and read everything you can on the package. If you have any doubt then dont take it!

I would not recommend this product to anyone. I actually used Stackers 2: Yellow Hornet for the first time 4 hours ago and I almost went to the emergency room. Side Effects: Dangerously high heart rate, trouble breathing, extreme shakes, cold sweats and vomiting. This product is dangerous!
