Does QuickFire Really Work?

QuickFire is a diet pill that promises to “increase energy and boost metabolism while delivering key nutrients to support your weight loss efforts and fuel your training regimen” (website). These are not egregious claims in the weight loss supplement world but, still, we have heard them before from other companies that could not deliver. We are always pessimistically hopeful when researching a product that we haven’t encountered before. QuickFire was created by the company known as ProLab, also responsible for various other popular products across the board. Other purported benefits of this supplement are listed as support for weight loss, balance of serotonin levels for a better mood, and support for your carbohydrate metabolism in general. But what are the ingredients?

Ingredients Used

Biotin-good for the hair, skin, and nails, this vitamin does not pertain to weight loss.

Chromium-meant to control and regulate blood sugar levels to keep them from randomly spiking and then falling, chromium has been used successfully in combination with certain other ingredients to promote weight loss. However, on its own the effect is minor at best. It generally requires about 200mcg.

Green tea extract-a thermogenic form of caffeine, it is also rich in antioxidants like EGCG. However, one should keep in mind that it requires at least 400mg of 50% caffeine considering the fact that caffeine is the actual fat burning component

Rhodiola rosea extract-a natural energy supplement that will not help you to lose weight or burn fat, it is somewhat similar to guarana. But it does not promote any weight loss, even in any known combinations

Caffeine-It has been shown to produce a powerful thermogenic effect in the body if used in the right amounts. However, it also comes with the classic side effects of caffeine.

Banaba-banaba leaf extract has been shown to regulate blood sugar and blood glucose levels, helping you to reduce cravings and avoid crashes. But it does not necessarily promote weight loss

L-tyrosine-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss

5-HTP-a natural mood lifter, this is better known as 5-HTP. However, it has no relation to weight loss.

Conclusion

Consumers of QuickFire, in general, did not experience satisfactory results and we can’t say that we are surprised. This company has either not done thorough research on their ingredients or they have decided to skimp on mg in order to cut production costs. This shows a lack of responsibility toward potential consumers and, as such, we would not recommend using this product.
