Burn TS Fitkit and Controversial Meratrim® Connection

Burn TS fat burner is weight loss supplement which works by increasing internal body temperature. Primary ingredient is proprietary blend Meratrim®. It has mild thermogenic ingredients like caffeine in it. Still, in theory, should not cause serious discomfort or side effects to female dieters.

Why I’m highlighting female dieters specifically?

That’s because men can tolerate caffeine or any other thermogenic boosters in larger dose. Men booze more than women, right?

Top 10 Fat Burner?

The official website makes bold claim that Burn-TS is the top 10 fat burner sold on Amazon market place. Based on my research it no longer appears to be true. While writing this review article it has been ranked at #36 position on Amazon.

Nevertheless, it is one of the serious contenders in the flooded ‘fat burners’ market.

Suspicious 5-star ratings

79% users on Amazon have left 5-star rating to this product. Precisely, it is the ‘verified customers’ who trigger alarm bell. Some websites and independent bloggers allege that these 5-star ‘verified customers’ feedbacks are ‘manufactured’ by the promoter. Although I could not make such conclusion, it still looks very suspicious.

Burn TS review analysis from FakeSpot

Kindly note this fact before judging a product from Amazon market place. Not all happy customers leave positive reviews or testimonials. It’s the unhappy & disappointed customers who bash the product & post low ratings.

Many people  don’t research thoroughly whether the supplement is suitable for their body & health condition or not. That’s the primary reason for ‘it didn’t work for me’ type of complaints.

Burn TS Review

Meratrim® is the primary ingredient used is Burn-TS. It is a proprietary blend made from Sphaeranthus indicus (a flower) and Garcinia mangostana (a fruit). The exact ratio is 3:1

There was a 12 weeks, double blind placebo clinical study sponsored by the Meratrim’s manufacturer. And the resulting report highlighted good weight loss result.

During the study period participants were put on 2000 calories diet and advised to go for 30-minutes’ walk. At the end of study, the Meratrim group has lost an average 11 pounds (5.2 kg). The other group (placebo) only lost about 3 pounds (1.4 kg)

That’s pretty good result if you consider 2000 calories per day and only 30 minute of simple exercise (walking)

Meratrim Gets Dr Oz’z Approval

On 2^nd February 2014, Dr Oz gives Meratim much needed market stimulation. In his popular health-entertainment episode, Dr Oz’s show, he declares Meratrim as ‘triple your fat loss’. That was enough for it to become miracle fat burner.

Is Meratrim greatest fat burner?

My doubt was cleared by Amazon once again. There is an 800mg MeraTrim supplement for about 30 bucks. Around 50% customers said it works and remaining said it doesn’t.

The second ingredient is ChromeMate®

ChromeMate® uniquely combines the benefits of chromium and niacin into a single mineral complex. ChromeMate® has been clinically studied, and may be used to help maintain healthy blood sugar, cholesterol levels and body weight. Preclinical research suggests that ChromeMate® increases absorption compared to other forms of chromium tested.

The other 2 ingredients include Green tea extract & 75mg of caffeine.

Caffeine is the most widely used stimulant in the world. You’d be hard pressed to find an effective weight loss supplement that did not contain this ingredient because it is effective in boosting metabolism. You traditionally consume caffeine in drinks and foods. The most common drinks that contain caffeine are coffee, soft drinks and energy drinks.

Green tea extract is the star of Indian and Chinese medicine. With centuries of use under its belt and hundreds of clinical studies, green tea extract is one of the few weight loss ingredients with strong clinical backing. You can find green tea extract in thousands of weight loss products, but it is most effective when used with other ingredients backed by scientific research.

Burn-TS Free Trial Scam Warning

Dietspolight offers Burn-TS through deceptive free trial offer. You’ll be asked to a small fee $3.95 for 15 day trial. If you do not cancel within 14 days, you’ll be enrolled into monthly auto-shipment program

Cancelling order shouldn’t be big deal, right?

That’s the point. They make it almost impossible to cancel your subscription until they have ripped few $100’s from your credit card! If at all you want to try it, then buy it directly from Amazon

Conclusion:

Burn- TS although contains some good weight loss components, it is backed by dubious clinical trial. Moreover, it is almost a replica of Avesil and Leptigen which made 1000’s customers angry. Please read Leptigen Review for more information
