Thank you Ulter. Yes, I have seen research on teh first two and the last ingredient listed (I didn't know what was in this mix since I rarely bother with suppliments any more), and all have show some benefit in either speeding up the relase of fatty acids from adipose tissue, or an increase in fat metabolism. The otehr 3 are questionable and have had alot of mixed results depending on the study done. Always bere in mind that studies done on non-training individuals are not always signifigant to those of us who train hard, since some things, such as steroids actually only yield the best results in an intense training environment. None-the-less 3 of your igredients have a reasonable amount of research to back them, and do not appear, at this time, to inhibit the effects of the other two, since they work through different pathways. Its probably a good product.
