I have used this product a few times in the past, and I did notice a HUGE difference with my weight loss results. As a thermogenic, it raises your heart rate so you burn more calories/fat during your workout.

HOWEVER, this past weekend I received an email from Amazon (which is where I ordered my Oxy Elite Pro from) stating this:

"We have recently learned that Health Canada Consumer Product Safety (CPSR), has issued a warning against OxyELITE Pro capsules. The product safety warning involves the OxyELITE Pro capsules. OxyELITE Pro capsules are promoted as having “super thermogenic” (weight loss) properties. OxyELITE Pro capsules were found to contain undeclared yohimbine. Yohimbine is a prescription drug used to treat abnormal blood pressure. Customers who have purchased this product are advised not to use the product, and should consult with a health care professional if they have concerns about their health related to the use of these products."

Needless to say, that was enough to make me throw away the bottle...anything that messes with my blood pressure isn't worth the risk!

If you're honestly interested in a weight loss supplement, the safest way to do it is through an approved medical provider who can offer you the healthiest weight loss products/treatment plans possible!!

Very good point! But, there are a lot of drugs and supplements out there that have ingredients in them that are also used as a blood pressure medicine. My son (an infant) has a hemangioma and one of their treatments for these is a blood pressure med (which under supervision and in the doses they give them is completely safe). Viagra was originally a blood pressure med. There are several, the point is that it contains yohimbine, which means they have to legally warn you, but that doesn't mean that it contains enough of it to actually affect your blood pressure. Further, do you drink coffee? That affects blood pressure. Many many things affect blood pressure but usually you have to consume it in huge amounts for it to become dangerous. I'm not saying it is safe to take this supplement by any means, I am just saying that it isn't necessarily the devil either just because it contains a certain ingredient.
If you are worried about it and want to continue using OxyElite, try monitoring your blood pressure while you're taking it. It's simple and it can ease your mind or alert you to a possible problem!

Maybe I'm a rare case because I'm actually on a medicine that lowers blood pressure (even though I'm not on it because I have high blood pressure, it's a long story!). Honestly, I had no inhibitions about taking this pill before, but when I received the warning, it made me rethink its longterm safety. Any medicine can theoretically be safe when taken under medical supervision, but in this case, I'm not sure if I would risk it!

Yeah, can't say I blame you! In your situation I'd feel the same way for sure!

Very effective product, but only if your diet is good. I've always noticed a big boost in energy which has equated to more pounds lost when I'm dieting, so it's a winner in my book! If you aren't used to stimulants/caffeine and you try this product, start with the minimal dose, it's pretty strong

Excellent product with a solid ingredient profile. USP labs has continually pumped out good products into market that's been flooded with over-caffeinated trash. I have cycled it before and would use it again. As always, supplements are only as effective as the diet they are conjoined with.

I just started this a week ago and have yet to see what I've lost pounds wise since starting it but it's definetely helped curb my appetite and given me more energy. I don't do well with pills and I usually get super sick with any kind of pills (even ibuprofen) and these haven't given me any side effects I only take one pill a day before breakfast and I don't do the recommended 2nd pill 6 hours later but I still feel great. Just be sure to eat 15-30mins after you take it. I am also eating healthy and trying to excercise regularly so this isn't a quick fix for me either. I highly recommend it if you want something to just give you an energy boost and help with your appetite.

Its currently linked to several heart attacks of health active young guys with no previous history.
It has also recently been linked to dozens of acute liver failure in health young adults with no previous health concerns, several cases required transplants and dealths were reported.

Check the news feeds this morning.... linked to hepatitis (at least one dead/several ill) also linked to liver damage... hardly worth the risk if you ask me... also heard GNC is pulling it.
