The Xenadrine line has many versions of weight loss pills, as well as drink mixes.  This specific drink mix, Xenadrine Ultra has the same ingredient as the Xenadrine Ultra Pills.  The Ultra line is a little different, in that it includes a proprietary blend of Yerba Mate, Guarana, caffeiene anhydrous, and Damien Leaf.   These three ingredients were shown in one of their studies to help people lose 11.22 lbs in 45 days, as compared to 0.66 lbs in the placebo group.  These ingredients may be beneficial to helping people lose weight.  Let’s break them down.

Ingredients in Xenadrine Ultra Drink Mix

• Yerba Mate: You might say this is an all inclusive ingredient.  It’s a stimulant, appetite suppressant, metabolism booster, diuretic, and by itself has been shown to reduce body fat.  There is a 1-2% caffeine compound in this ingredient, which would explain its ability to be a stimulant by itself.  This plant is also completely safe and natural, which is a bonus for people wanting to lose weight safely.
• Guarana: Another ingredient that contains caffeine, (4-8%) Guarana is a stimulant as well.   For a little perspective, coffee beans contain 1-2% caffeine.  This stimulant helps increase mental alertness, increase metabolism, and increase calorie burn.  At three times the amount of caffeine as coffee, it is a more potent stimulant than most of what people are drinking.  Like caffeine, it is also showing to help metabolize stored fat to be used for energy.
• Caffeine Anhydrous: Pretty much a repeat of what was said about the previous two stimulants; caffeine anhydrous works as a metabolism booster, fat mobilizer, metal alertness ingredient.  Anhydrous simply means, contains no water.  So caffeine anhydrous is dehydrated caffeine.   This makes it more convenient to put in a drink mix.

Pro’s

• Great source of energy.  Their top three ingredients are all stimulants.  Stimulants do have a positive impact on weight loss.
• It’s sugar free, perfect for individuals trying to lower their sugar intake.
• It’s convenient, you can take it anywhere and get the same benefits as you would with their diet pills.

Con’s

• It’s almost $1.00 per packet, and they want you to drink 3 per day.  The pills end up being about 0.36 per pill, at 6 per day, you are spending 2.22 for the pills per day. With  3.00 per day for the drinks, the weight loss pills would be cheaper.
• This product would not be safe for women pregnant or nursing.  Also not safe for children.

Conclusion

If you like Xenadrine ultra for weight loss, and are tight on money, you may want to stick with the weight loss pills.  However, if you enjoy sipping your stimulants, like at the gym, this may be the product for you.  With their three stimulant inducing ingredients, this drink would get your through a tough workout, and increase your calorie burn the rest of the day.  Stimulants are an effective way to boost metabolism, reduce appetite, and help eliminate stored fat.  The three stimulants Xenadrine Ultra chose to use for their product are all safe and proven to be effective.
