Its potent thermogenic mixture has been shown successful in quite a few scientific studies. Cytodyne Technologies remarks that Xenadrine’s formula continues to be clinically proven and tested effective in many scientific studies and that the reports are already released in the International Journal of Obesity which reveal that Xenadrine’s combination raises the rate of fat loss by up to 300 percent and that it is better than most prescription weight-loss formulas by up to 29 percent.
