How to Use Thermogenics

Thermogenics are a range of dietary supplements that have been touted for their fat-burning properties. The theory behind thermogenic supplements is that the ingredients will increase your body temperature in order to give you more energy and burn fat cells quickly. If you want to use thermogenics as a way to lose weight, you should first consult with your doctor.

  Take half the suggested dose for the first week of use. In order to test for sensitivity to the ingredients in the supplement, use a half a dose for the initial week. If you have no side effects, such as dizziness, irritability, palpitations and headaches, you can increase your usage to the normal amount suggested on the manufacturer's label.
