What Are the Ingredients in Quick Trim Extreme Burn?

QuickTrim Extreme Burn is a dietary supplement aimed at maximizing your weight loss through promises of craving control, metabolism enhancement and digestive cleansing. Though the ingredients aren't fully published on QuickTrim International's website and its statements haven't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the company maintains, most recently through its spokeswoman Kim Kardashian, that this proprietary blend gives a boost to a regular exercise and dieting routine.

  1. Super Fruits

    • The main ingredients in QuickTrim's Extreme Burn supplements are extracts of various fruits reputed to contain health and weight-loss benefits, from acai and pomegranates to blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. These so-called "super fruits" add vital nutrients to a weight-loss regimen, while also allegedly curbing cravings and increasing metabolism. Because of these fruits and other additives, QuickTrim states that a regular daily dose of two Extreme Burn supplements contains 200 percent of your daily intake of vitamin C (120mg), 100 percent of daily niacin (20mg) and 167 percent of daily chromium (200mcg).

    Capsicum

    • QuickTrim International credits another key ingredient of Extreme Burn as capsicum, a hot pepper extract made by the company Capsimax. This ingredient, also not evaluated by the FDA, is thought to accelerate metabolism in the body by increasing heat or energy production in the digestive tract, a process known as thermogenesis. According to studies by a Canadian and Japanese university, cited on Capsimax's website, capsicum caused more energy to be expended in test subjects.

    Green Tea

    • Green tea extracts also are used by QuickTrim to maximize Extreme Burn's allegedly energy-giving benefits, potentially alleviating the strain of overexertion and decreased caloric intake. WebMD states that green tea has positive antioxidant effects that also fight major illnesses like cancer and heart disease, while potentially helping the body burn fat, prevent dementia and lower cholesterol levels. It also contains caffeine, which helps to boost sagging energy levels.

    Other Ingredients

    • Extreme Burn has numerous other ingredients, delivered by taking one pill with each of the two largest meals of your day. Several are inactive and used for coloring or supplement composition; others are meant to bolster the pill's weight loss aim. According to DietSpotlight.com, Extreme Burn also contains: white willow bark; sciariolide; extract of sylvestre leaf and banana leaf; trans-resveratrol; a "super C3G" lipolytic complex; bioperine; and caffeine anhydrous.
