HOW TO TAKE IT: Package instructions advise taking 2 to 6 capsules per day along with a low-calorie diet and exercise.

WHAT IS IT SUPPOSED TO DO: The manufacturer claims that the pyruvate in Fat Burner increases cellular respiration (the use of energy) and the amount of rat used as energy. It can slightly increase the rate of metabolism, which in turn enhances the burning of fat. The addition of. calcium and potassium helps the pyruvate digest properly in the intestines. Chromium helps control blood-sugar levels and is involved in the metabolism of rat, protein, and carbohydrates.

COMMENTS: No research is offered to back up the claims made by the manufacturer. If you have diabetes and are taking insulin or any antidiabetic medications, consult your physician , before taking this or any product that contains chromium. Chromium has the ability to lower insulin resistance, alter the type or amount of medication needed to control diabetes, and change the frequency with which blood-sugar monitoring should be done.
