Twinlab Ripped Fuel Side Effects

Twinlab Ripped Fuel is a weight-loss supplement designed to help consumers lose weight, boost metabolism and suppress appetite. The original formulations of Ripped Fuel contained the now banned ingredient ephedra. Ephedra was banned in 2004 by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration (FDA) after it was found to greatly increase the chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Ripped Fuel is comprised of a blend of herbs and vitamins. Before using any weight-loss supplement, consult your doctor to make sure the product is safe for you to use and does not conflict with any over-the-counter or prescription medications you are taking.

Dehydration

• Dehydration can occur from the use of Twinlab Ripped Fuel. This is because it contains ingredients which are known to boost the metabolic rate. Boosting the metabolic rate often causes increased fluid loss through perspiration and urine excretion. To avoid dehydration while taking Twinlab Ripped Fuel, increase fluid intake. Dehydration can lead to other problems, such as fatigue and muscle cramping.

Constipation

• Constipation can occur from the use of Twinlab Ripped Fuel. Constipation is a result of dehydration caused by not taking in enough fluids to counteract the fluid loss caused by an increased metabolic rate. Lessen the chance that you will experience constipation while taking Twinlab Ripped Fuel by increasing fluid intake and following a diet rich in fiber-based foods. For constipation which continues despite a fluid intake and diet change, consider using an over-the-counter remedy, such as a laxative or stool softener.

Nausea

• Nausea may occur because the body is adjusting (gaining a tolerance) to the presence of the ingredients found in Twinlab Ripped Fuel. This adjustment period generally lasts three to four days. After the initial three- to four-day adjustment period, feelings of nausea should be minimal to non-existent. If nausea continues to be an issue after this period, consider investigating alternate weight-loss supplement options.

Stimulants

• The main stimulant found in Twinlab Ripped Fuel is guarana seed extract, which contains caffeine. Synephrine, although not a stimulant, is known to have stimulant-like effects. Twinlab Ripped Fuel increases the metabolism; along with an increase in metabolism, increased heart rate and blood pressure levels are likely. Avoid taking a higher dose of Twinlab Ripped Fuel than that which is listed on the packaging. Visual signs of taking in too high of a dose of stimulants include jitters, profuse sweating and muscle twitching.

Sleep Complications

• Sleep complications can occur, due to the presence of stimulants in the formula. Avoid taking Twinlab Ripped Fuel late in your day before attempting to sleep. Failure to do so increases the chances that you will experience sleep complications, such as insomnia from use. Limit intake of other products containing stimulants, such as coffee, while using Twinlab Ripped Fuel, as they will increase the chance that you experience sleep complications.
