Is Zantrex 3 the Answer? Nope

Posted on January 21, 2010

Well, looks like we found the answer to our health problems.  Wow, Zantrex-3 promises rapid weight loss, incredible energy, and everything a person could ever want, right?  Nope.

I saw this ad on TV and grabbed a pic.  Sigh.  Yet another ad for another product that claims to quick-fix all of our health problems without “diet or exercise!” 

On the product’s webiste they have “proof” that it works by documenting a “clinical study.”  Here’s what the “clinical study” found:

“Subjects using the proven active formula in Zantrex-3, for a little over 6 weeks, experienced an average weight-loss of a whopping 11.2 pounds – 1,696% more weight loss than the placebo group…and that’s without having to follow any prescribed diet plan or supervised exercise program!”

Great.  Sign me up.  Sadly, I know people will buy this product. They will fail miserably, become more discouraged about their health, and start all over again with a new product.  Sad world. 

Oh, and as for that “It’s great to be thin” line on the ad: Remember, thin/skinny does not always = healthy.

    In my opinion it’s much better to just stick to a healthy diet and exercise rather than ingest some kind of chemical wonder drug…

    @Julie – Absolutely. These products, no matter how much they promise, will not deliver. We have to stick to a healthy lifestyle if we want to see lasting change.
