Do Fat Burning Supplements Work?

By koufie June 12th, 2010

According to a study that was published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, the answer may be yes.

Oklahoma University researchers gave some of the 28, healthy, but sedimentary, participants a fat burning supplement containing, black pepper, niacin and capsaicin. The other participants, (they didn’t specify how many), were given a placebo after 30 minutes of rest.

After resting for an additional 50 minutes, they walked on the treadmill for an hour with an additional 50 minute rest period.

What did they find? The participants that took the thermogenic supplements burned more calories and experienced a large increase in their aerobic capacity.

Although this is not a long time study, these fat burning supplements are an indicative aid in your weight loss efforts.
