ANSI Pharma Series BetaLean-SCA Fat Burner Review First Look

Is this fat burner from ANSI safe to use?

With summer here, and today being the summer solstice we are more inclined to wear less clothes to get the benefit from vitamin D.

However, it also reminds us that our body is under the spot light

And, like wearing nice clothes, you ant your body to look its best.

This is where a fat burner can come in. It can help lose a few extra pounds.

This fat burner from ANSI look the business.

It’s black, red and white bottle looks serious. The content looks effective.

Is it though?

What can a fat burner really do?

You may well be surprised actually.

The idea that an effective fat burner just magically makes your waist smaller is far from the truth.

However, only the effective fat burners contain a number of ingredients in correct doses that work harmoniously and through a number of outcomes help you lose fat mass, not muscle.

Their benefits include, but are not limited to:

Increase energy – This will help you be more active and stimulate you for effective workouts
Thermogenic – These ingredients will increase the temperature of your core which increases calorie expenditure
Appetite control – The ability to feel fuller and not to fall for sweet, calorie laden treats

As a result I tend to supplement my exercise regime with a fat burner supplement.

I have found Instant Knockout to offer the best results and as a result I try to use that daily.

Potentially unsafe

Who are ANSI?

ANSI claim to offer the most value and effective products in their categories.

Based in Florida they have been innovators and says that they sparked the trend for high protein and low carbohydrate protein bar supplements.

ANSI also released the first beta-alanine RTD drink in America.

We have high hopes for BetaLean.

What are the claims for BetaLean?

ANSI say this supplement will help with the following:

Burn fat
Thermogenesis
Increase energy

BetaLean Ingredients: The Science

– Bitter Orange (Citrus Aurantium)

At present, Citrus aurantium may be the best thermogenic substitute for ephedra. However, more studies are needed to establish this definitively.

Bitter orange is possibly unsafe when taken as a supplement for a medical purpose such as weight loss.

Bitter orange, particularly when taken with stimulants such as caffeine or caffeine-containing herbs, increases the risk for high blood pressure, fainting, heart attack, stroke, and other severe side effects.

There are reports that bitter orange can trigger headaches, including migraine and cluster headaches, in some people.

Bitter orange can cause sensitivity to the sun. Wear sunblock outside, especially if you are light-skinned. [1] [2]

– Caffeine

This can assist with endurance, tested athletes saw an edge from caffeine in scientific studies.

In some trials, the stimulant boosted athletes’ speed.

In others, it helped them last longer before they spent all their energy.

Caffeine also raises the metabolism which means you burn more calories.

Some studies show that it can curb soreness after exercise, too.

This means you could get back to your training sooner and training means more calories burnt. [3]

Caffeine is present in all 3 of our Top Fat Burners.

– White Willow (Salix Alba)

Early research suggests that taking willow bark in combination with ephedra and cola nut might cause slight weight loss in overweight and obese people.

However, it is not wise to use this combination because of safety concerns about ephedra. Ephedra has been banned in the United States due to severe harmful side effects. [4]

BetaLean Directions

Take two pills daily.

It is better to spread the pills out over the course of the day rather than take them in one sitting.

That way you maintain a high level of the thermogenic ingredients working to increase your metabolism.

If you get too much of certain ingredients, that what the body doesn’t need at the time will be wasted and you will not feel the benefit.

Therefore, if you have a massive dose of Zinc yet your body is still processing and utilizing Zinc from a meal you’ve recently had or a drink it will not process any extra that is not required.

What the body doesn’t require at the time will let it pass.

Thus, a higher chance of waste and less benefits.

BetaLean Serving

Three tablets per day amount to just over a total of 1100mg.

This is less than what you would find in the best fat burner supplements.

BetaLean Price

$39.98 – A lot for just three ingredients.

Pros

There’s one safe fat burning ingredient…

Only Caffeine offers safe and reliable effects to help burn extra calories.

This is really quite disappointing.

Cons

The side effects offer uncertainty.

if you have just had a child and are looking to lose some post birth fat, please do not use this.

Willow bark can have a negative effect on breast milk which could harm an infant.

It may also cause kidney problems, so if you suffer from kidney disease stay away from any supplement that contains White Willow Bark.

Citrus Aurantium can cause a number of potential negative side effects,

It is best if you do not take any supplements that contain Citrus Aurantium.

You may be lucky and not experience any side effects, however, it could be a lot worse.

Citrus Aurantium can cause anything from headaches, to high blood pressure, a stroke and even death.

Overall, there’s a low dose while missing other, proven and safe ingredients.

What Improvements Could Be Made?

Doses need to be increased.

And there needs to be additional ingredients included to maximise the effects.

This fat burner would be complimented by including the following:

Glucomannan
D3
B6
Zinc
Cayenne
Green Coffee
Vit. C
Fenugreek
Green Tea

Without any of these, this will not have an optimal effect on fat loss.

Any unwanted BetaLean side effects?

Do not take any risks with this.

White Willow Bark can harm nursing infants, so do not use this to lose post pregnancy fat.

Citrus Aurantium can cause a number of issues such as high blood pressure, strokes or even death.

ANSI Pharma Series BetaLean-SCA Fat Burner Review Conclusion

The ingredients need to be reevaluated.

There’s only three ingredients in this fat burner supplement.

Only one is really regarded as safe and effective to burn fat.

The other two ingredients bring mixed results but a lot of unnecessary health risks.

It would not be the best idea to buy this to reduce fat mass when there are alternative products on the market which offer safe and effective ways to increase calorie expenditure.

Final Thoughts?

It is not quite as optimal as some other fat burners on the market.

FAQ

I have seen Performance BetaLean on eBay cheaper, is it legit?

Always buy direct to be sure.

Is it safe to buy from Amazon?

Again, I would only buy direct to ensure quality and that its genuine.

What if I do not like it?

There’s a 21 day returns policy.

Is BetaLean fat burner like Ephedrine?

Yes, it is unsafe too.

Is BetaLean fat burner safe and legal?

It is legal but can be unsafe, especially if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Can both males and females benefit from BetaLean Fat Burner?

There’s little to benefit from, but take caution if you are a female.

BetaLean Rivals

Let’s see what other best rated natural fat burner supplements are pitched against BetaLean.

Hourglass

Hourglass may scream ‘female fat burner’ to you, and you would be right.

This is directed and marketed at women.

There is nothing wrong with that. I am more concerned with the ingredients, doses and overall effectiveness than a name or branding scheme.

Hourglass is new to the shelves and is making noises for all of the right reasons.

It is darn effective at helping you lose unwanted fat mass.

Check out the new girl on the block and feel the benefits.

PROS

Contains nine clinically proven ingredients to help stimulate fat loss
Contains anti-inflammatory ingredients to help prevent chronic disease
Green tea can help treat cellulite

CONS

Three ingredients of a total of twelve are not proven to cut fat
Lacking Caffeine

Lean Bean

Okay, Lean Bean may look extremely effeminate, and you would be correct. Its color scheme is all directed at women, that said, I love a pink dress shirt.

However, if you look past the pink and the heart logo you will find an effective fat burner that is suitable for both men and women.

This offers some stiff competition that look to take Hourglasses pole position.
