| Size 0 contains Caffeine , a central nervous system stimulant often used as an aid to stay awake, for mental alertness due to fatigue or, in combination with other ingredients for pain relief, and as a power and energy accelerate.
Caffeine is available alone as a non-prescription drug over the counter medication, in combination with other non-prescription drugs, and in prescription drug combinations for relief of pain and headache.
Like Ephedra, caffeine acts to increase mental alertness while providing additional energy for weight loss and exercise training. Caffeine is more than a stimulant as it goes deep into muscles to provide long lasting power while delaying the onset of muscle fatigue. Also great before working out, caffeine fights fatigue and helps you get ready for your workout.
For dieters feeling sluggish that need just a little something extra to get them through the day, caffeine is the obvious no-calorie stimulant solution.
Many products containing caffeine anhydrous contain as much caffeine as one or two cups of coffee. It is recommended to limit the use of caffeine containing medications, foods, or beverages while taking caffeine supplements as excess caffeine intake may cause nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness and occasional rapid heart beat. |

| Size 0 also contains Green Tea Extract , a bioflavonoid rich, potent extract used primarily for fighting free radicals. It contains a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green tea extract contains a potent antioxidant, EGCG, which is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain. Green tea extract helps with thermogenesis and aids in the metabolism of fat. Green Tea has been used for years as a powerful antioxidant, it may also be helpful in shedding fat.
The most obvious benefit to dieters is that it works without increasing the heart rate most often found in diet aids. The increased heart rate leaves dieters jittery and eventually, most dieters stop using the supplement and gain weight back. Now through using green tea extract, dieters get the weight loss benefits without any of the jittery effects, especially in obese individuals with hypertension and other cardiovascular complications.

| Size 0 has Hoodia Gordonii , which although popular, has no published randomized controlled trials in humans to show hoodia is safe or effective in pill form.
One study published in the September 2004 issue of Brain Research found that injections of p57 (The Active ingredient in Raw, Fresh Cut Hoodia, not dried) into the appetite center of rat brains resulted in altered levels of ATP, an energy molecule that may affect hunger. The animals receiving the P57 injections also ate less than rats that received placebo injections.
However, this was an animal study and INJECTIONS IN THE BRAIN are very different from oral consumption, so it cannot be used to show that oral hoodia can suppress appetite in humans.
Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent (a cactus of the aloe family) found in the Kalahari desert of South Africa.
Most Hoodia Gordonii products contain very little, if any of the active ingredient needed to suppress hunger. Real Hoodia is very rare and is even an endangered plant.
Most importantly, Hoodia has only demonstrated any effect in fresh, raw pieces of the plant. The effectiveness of powdered Hoodia has yet to be shown and may actually increase hunger.
It's main use is as a cheap alternative to the more expensive weight loss herbs, which are the only alternative left after the banning of ephedra. Most supplement manufacturers can not use the more expensive weight loss herbs because it will result in a product that would be too expensive to compete with other more popular inexpensive diet supplements. |

| Size 0 includes Some Unknown Ingredients , which is a common practice for many supplement manufacturers. They use ineffective common ingredients and trademark their name for them to disguse the actual low quality ingredient contained. |
