Hypothesis
Does the thermogenic supplement Meltdown affect energy expenditure and fat oxidation in young, healthy males?
Conclusion
Meltdown significantly increases resting energy expenditure and fat oxidation without adverse effects on heart rate and blood pressure.
Supporting Evidence
- Meltdown increased resting energy expenditure significantly more than placebo at multiple time points.
- Meltdown decreased respiratory exchange ratio, indicating greater fat oxidation.
- No significant differences in heart rate and blood pressure were observed between Meltdown and placebo.
Takeaway
Meltdown helps burn more energy and fat for a while after you take it, and it doesn't make your heart race or raise your blood pressure.
Methodology
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over design was used with 12 male participants who consumed either Meltdown or placebo before exercise.
Limitations
Results may not apply to obese or morbid populations as the study was conducted on healthy young men.
Participant Demographics
Twelve healthy, recreationally active males, average age 23.67 years.
