MeltRx 24 Ultra is a fat burning pill. There are ingredients, such as green tea extract and cinnamon extract, in MeltRx 24 Ultra that can cause side effects if taken in high concentrations.  In terms of weight loss, there are some beneficial ingredients in Melt 24 RX Ultra. It also contains ingredients useful for mental focus and mood – for example, Ginko, velvet bean extract, 5-HTP and Rhodiola rosea root. However, because most of the ingredients are contained in proprietary blends it is impossible to determine whether there is enough of any one ingredient to elicit significant weight loss. Moreover, no clinical study has been conducted specifically on MeltRx 24 Ultra’s effectiveness as a fat burner.

Melt RX Ultra Side Effects

From the available marketing information, MeltRx 24 Ultra promises to subdue appetite and promote weight loss, without the potentially dangerous side effects associated with some other weight loss supplements that contain strong stimulants. Due to non-disclosure of the strength of the key ingredient in MeltRx 24 Ultra, predicting potential side effects is difficult. However, there are ingredients such as green tea extract and cinnamon extract in MeltRx 24 Ultra that can cause adverse reactions (see below). User feedback online (positive or negative) on MeltRx 24 Ultra is very sparse, except for customer testimonials detailed on the Weightlossguide.com website.

MeltRX 24 Ultra pills have not been approved by the FDA, although the manufacturer states that the pills have been ‘made according to strict FDA guidelines.’

MeltRx 24 Ultra ingredients in detail

Green tea leaf extract: The extract is relatively high in caffeine and has been shown to facilitate weight loss. If sensitive to caffeine, possible side effects could include: restlessness, irritability, sleeping problems, tremor, heart palpitations, upset stomach, nausea, frequent urination and skin rash.

Coleus forskohlii: This herb is common to many fat burners. While the positive effects of Coleus forskohlii on weight loss have been established in one study (Journal of Obesity Research 2005 – Body composition and hormonal adaptations associated with Forskolin consumption in overweight and obese men), the results were not particularly strong. It has been demonstrated to enhance lipolysis and may also inhibit fat storage. A clinical study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2005: 2(2): 54-62) indicated that there were no significant side effects – despite previous research indicating that Coleaus forskohlii may cause an increase in heart rate and decrease in blood pressure.

Galangal rhizome (Chinese ginger): There is evidence to indicate that galangal rhizome may inhibit fatty-acid synthase, but at present there is no strong evidence to confirm that it promotes weight loss. No side effects have been reported.

Gymnema silvestre leaf extract: Gymnema silvestre has been used in Ayurveda since the 6th century B. C. It has been shown to have a regenerative effect on pancreatic beta cells while curbing craving for sweet foods. No side effects have been reported, but researchers have not established whether this herb is absolutely safe for pregnant women or during lactation.

Banaba leaf extract: Banaba (Lagerstroemia Speciosa) is a botanical extract of the leaves of the banaba tree. In Southeast Asia and the Philippines, the leaves are traditionally used as an herbal medicine to treat diabetes and hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar). Banaba has also been traditionally used to aid in cleansing the liver in the Philippines. To date no major adverse effects have been reported in medical journals.

Cinnamon twig extract: Cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum verum, C. zeylanicum, C. cassica) is harvested from a variety of evergreen tree that is native to Sri Lanka and India. The use of cinnamon dates back thousands of years to at least 2700 B.C. Chinese herbals from that time mentioned it as a treatment for fever, diarrhea, and menstrual problems. Indian Ayurvedic healers used it in a similar manner. Modern herbalists prescribe cinnamon bark as a remedy for nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion. Chinese herbalists recommend it for asthma brought on by cold, some digestive problems, backache, and menstrual problems. Cinnamon bark is also known to control blood sugar levels in diabetics. Cinnamon bark may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. It is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women. Mild side effects include stomach upset, sweating, and diarrhea. Large doses can cause changes in breathing, dilation of blood vessels, sleepiness, depression, or convulsions. Excessive use of cinnamon bark may cause red, tender gums; mouth ulcers; inflamed taste buds; and a severe burning sensation in the mouth.
