Default Interesting Fat Burning Stack

Saw this on t-nation...anybody have any input on this stack and if he means taking them all together or at seperate times?

All at a local health/natural food store.

BTW, I feel that the strongest natural fat burning stack one can achieve is as follow:

- HOT ROX (the new rxtreme version is your best option, but for this stack the maximum strength HOT ROX will do) 3 caps twice a day

- Kelp 1500mg twice a day

- Selenium 200mcg twice a day

- L-Tyrosine 1600mg twice a day

Kelp is a premium source of natual iodine (and several minerals). Iodine and L-Tyrosine are precursor, or building material, for thyroid hormones. In fact, kelp is so powerful that some studies have even shown that it can cause hyperthyroidism!

Selenium and the guggulsterone included in HOT ROX increase the conversion of the relatively inactive T4 into the more active T3

HOT ROX also increases fat loss via other mechanisms.

Basically this stack is SUPER POTENT for boosting your natural thyroid hormone level. The results are comparable to low doses of cytomel/synthetic T3 (NO this is not one of those "feels like deca" statement). Not mega doses mind you, but in the realm of a 25-32.5mcg daily dose. I'd say that the natural stack could increase metabolic rate by around 10%.

im not sure, but i imagine that something exotic like this might help someone get from 8% to 4% pre contest, but is almost certainly more than anyone here would need...i like his articles/threads a lot, much different than most t-nation authors...

"The kelp, selenium and tyrosine are taken prior to every meal. " i think its 3 servings of 500mg...the hrx is before workout...

I would think it would be tougher getting from 8% to 4% than for someone going from 20% to say 15%....

I was only seeing what people said b/c they seem like pretty cheap things to buy. (other than the hrx)

Yeah the guy who quoted it misquoted it but you are right. It appears for a quality bottle of each is about 5 bucks each...I may give them all a try along with the hrx and do a trip report on it.

CT does some great stuff....

But does anyone else wonder why he was so excited that Kelp can cause hyperthyroidism (which can be serious and can be a bad thing)?.... I just think he could have phrased that better/mentioned safety in dosage etc.
