Wiki on thermogenics

Thermogenics are compounds that raise your heart rate and help you burn fat. The most popular one is caffeine. Thermogenics typically make you feel more alert, possibly jittery, and often can curb your appetite.

Are thermogenics safe?

It depends. Most of them are safe if used correctly and in the proper dosages, but abuse and ignorance of their effects can lead to severe problems and even death (Ephedra was banned because an idiotic minor league pitcher drank no water and pitched in the extreme heat while taking ephedra).

Are thermogenics effective?

Yes, very much actually. By taking a thermogenic and getting a good cardio workout 3-5 days a week for 20 minutes each session, you will start to see fat loss as long as your diet is moderately in check.

Do you have any recommendations?

The ECA Stack (Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin) is pretty good, but Ephedrine is no longer legal to buy without a prescription. Ephedra-free products like Biotest's Hot-Rox Extreme get good reviews, but I have no experience with them. My recommendation would be to go with a Biotest product, however, as their quality control standards are very high and their prices are very reasonable.
