Protein World Fat Metaboliser

Protein World Fat Metaboliser Review

Protein World Fat Metaboliser is a thermogenic fat burner, produced for customers in the UK. The product contains a notably high dose of caffeine, which has supposedly been included in the formula in order to boost the metabolism.

Fat Metaboliser is manufactured by Protein World, a UK-based supplement and diet shake company. Despite a strong media presence and celebrity backing, Protein World has come under significant criticism for its extremely poor advertising and quality control standards.

In May 2016, a British newspaper, the Sun, decided to have Protein World’s flagship product, Slender Blend, tested for quality. Shockingly, it was found that the powders contained a significantly higher amount of carbohydrates than the product’s label stated. The tests found that the chocolate flavour version contained 41 grams of carbohydrates per 100g (the product’s label stated that it contains only 21 grams of carbs per 100 grams). Since the allegations, the company has been investigated by the Surrey Trading Standards agency and the UK’s Advertising Standards Agency, which seems to have generated enough pressure to force Protein World to somewhat amend their practices. The company can be contacted via the details supplied on their official website.

What Does Protein World Fat Metaboliser Claim To Do?

Perhaps due to their history of trouble with regulatory bodies, Protein World take care to make very few direct claims about their product. On the official website, Protein World don’t even claim that the product can help you lose weight, instead simply mentioning that it contains a high dose of caffeine.

On the Amazon product page, Fat Metaboliser is said to increase the rate at which fat is burned for energy. The caffeine is also said to give a boost of energy, as well as raise the body’s temperature and metabolism for further fat burning. Customers are also told to expect a helpful serving of antioxidants, courtesy of the green tea.

Does Protein World Fat Metaboliser Work?

For the most part, Fat Metaboliser works almost entirely through the use of caffeine and energy-boosting B vitamins. Although stimulant ingredients are known to slightly boost the metabolism, these effects are slight and come at the cost of jitters and other unpleasant side effects. The product also uses useful ingredients like green tea or cayenne pepper, which should work with the caffeine to boost metabolism.

Although this product should work in theory, customer reviews unfortunately paint a very different picture. Most reviews are generally negative, with many suggesting that the product is highly ineffective although still likely to cause negative side effects. Given the manufacturer’s poor reputation for quality control, it’s fair to assume that Fat Metaboliser doesn’t work all too well.

What Are The Ingredients of Protein World Fat Metaboliser?

The ingredients included in Protein World Fat Metaboliser are listed below. Readers should note that the ingredient quantities listed below are correct for 2 capsules of Fat Metaboliser.

• Vitamin B6 5.6mg: Vitamin B6 has several important functions in the body, including ‘allowing the body to use and store energy from protein and carbohydrates in food’. Whilst taking excess amounts of vitamin B6 will not infinitely improve this ability, a deficiency could make it more difficult to lose weight. Vitamin B6 is naturally present in a wide variety of foods, including meat, cereals, bread, and vegetables. The quantity of Vitamin B6 included in this mix is notably high. Source
• Vitamin B12 25µg: Vitamin B12 is naturally present in many foods, primarily meat, fish, and dairy products. It has several roles, including aiding in releasing energy from consumed food, and keeping the nervous system healthy. It may be that a deficiency hinders weight loss, but taking excessive amounts could be harmful (as in this product, which contains 500% of your RDA per pack). Source
• Caffeine Anhydrous 200mg: Numerous studies have shown that caffeine boosts energy levels and alertness, as well as mildly boosting the metabolism, causing a small increase in the number of calories used by the body. The effects shown in studies are small, and some studies are inconclusive. Source
• Green Tea Extract (40% Polyphenols) 200mg: Green tea is high in a group of antioxidants called catechins. Studies have suggested that catechins and caffeine both increase energy expenditure, by boosting the metabolism temporarily. However, the metabolic increase caused by green tea is limited. One study found that the use of green tea was not enough to counteract weight gain following a high calorie diet. Source
• L Tyrosine 200mg: An amino acid that is a building block of protein, this ingredient is found naturally in many foods including meat and dairy products. Some people use it as an appetite suppressant, but there is little evidence that it is effective for this use. Large doses of tyrosine may be useful for increasing alertness, especially in people who are sleep deprived. Source
• Guarana Extract (22% Caffeine) 150mg: A berry that is naturally high in caffeine, Guarana is often an ingredient in energy drinks and diet pills. Studies are mixed as to whether it improves mental performance. Source
• Yerba Mate Powder 100mg: A plant that is typically brewed as a tea, yerba mate is a natural source of caffeine, and has been the subject of several studies on weight loss. Its high caffeine content could mean that it helps boost mental performance. Source
• Choline 100mg: Athletes sometimes supplement Choline to delay fatigue and improve endurance. It is also said to improve mental focus. However, the available clinical evidence suggests that Choline does not cause either effect to take place. Source
• Alpha Lipoic Acid 100mg: Appears to suppress the appetite by inhibiting AMPK in the hypothalamus, although little research has been conducted in humans at this point. This fatty acid also appears to boost fat burning slightly, although the effects are not as large as the noted suppression of appetite. Source
• Cayenne Powder 50mg: Capsaicin, which is found in Cayenne pepper, is thought by some to play a role in weight loss. Some studies suggest it could suppress the appetite mildly, whilst others suggest that the heat causes a thermogenic reaction in the body, burning more calories for a period of time. However, there are also studies that show cayenne has little or no effect upon weight loss attempts. Source

Does Protein World Fat Metaboliser Have Any Side Effects?

Fat Metaboliser uses a notably high dose of caffeine, which could cause a range of side effects.

High doses of caffeine can cause headaches, jitteriness, insomnia, an increased heart rate, heart palpitations, increased urination, dehydration, and increased blood pressure. Customers that are extra sensitive to caffeine should consider avoiding it altogether, or at least avoid other sources of caffeine whilst using it. The worst effects can be avoided by keeping yourself hydrated, and avoid taking the capsules in the evening.

Medical advice typically recommends avoiding taking more than 500mg of caffeine per days. Two capsules of Caffeine Power contain 200mg of caffeine, as well as other ingredients that are known to be rich in caffeine themselves (including yerba mate, green tea, and guarana).

The energy boosting mix also contains very high levels of Vitamin B6 and B12, which can cause vomiting, stomach upset, loss of appetite, headaches, drowsiness, and a tingling feeling. Long-term high doses of Vitamin B6 can also cause nerve and brain problems; customers should be aware of this, as Fat Metaboliser contains 400% of the RDA for Vitamin B6 per serving!

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Protein World Fat Metaboliser?

The available customer review we found for Protein World Fat Metaboliser have been generally negative, with most customers reporting that the product did little or caused side effects. Even positive reviews tend to highlight their own positive behaviours and lifestyles, which leaves us with the impression that the product does very little at all.

I have been using these for 2 weeks & in that time I have noticed & suppressed appetite, a more focussed mood & an increased level of energy which is a great advantage when working out 4 times a week & having an active job role! I would say that you need to work out the right balance of lifestyle & a ‘healthy’ diet specific to you as these are a great booster but don’t rely on supplements if you don’t understand how to maintain your weight goals, eating well & a balanced lifestyle!

Hard to tell with these things how long before you see effects. Will be getting another packet to give it a good month trial

Didn’t see any change, won’t buy again.

First week only taking one in the morning and one in the afternoon was ok and seemed to be doing the trick however it tells you to up the does the second week to 2 in the morning 2 in the afternoon. This did not work for me, made me really light headed and bloated. I had to stop taking them

Does Protein World Fat Metaboliser Offer a Money-Back Guarantee?

In any case, customers are unable to claim a refund if the package is opened.
