I bought Z3 Monday and it is now Wednesday. I Took just ONE pill monday right before I ate lunch and felt fine other than a headache that lasted the rest of the day!

Then on Tuesday I was working and took one with breakfast and one with lunch and drank plenty of water. I only drink water and I’m not sensitive to caffeine – I’m just trying to loose weight and don’t bother with coffee or sodas. I felt fine until after my second pill at lunch. I felt like I was going to pass out! And I almost did! I had to rush to the bathroom and throw up even!

I thought after I threw up..”Well at least its out of my system now!”. No. I couldn’t stop sweating and was so dizzy my manager was freaking out! I felt silly to admit I was taking a diet pill so I acted like I didn’t know what was wrong, unless it got more serious at least! I got home and drank more and more water, I probably drank over a gallon of water and afterwards STARTED to feel a little better. It was crazy! I weighed myself and I did loose a pound. Which could be from the pill, or from puking from the pill.

DONT TAKE Zantrex 3! It’s a waste of money! If you MUST try it, go to GNC so you can get your money back after you take the first one!!

I have tried Zantrex 3 for two weeks now, so far I have lost 5 pounds. At first I experienced palpitations, jitteryness, was really irritable, but VERY RAPID weight loss, then after one and a half weeks all these side effects subsided and now I am not losing weight at all only gaining it little by little even when I am eating less than I used to, IT IS SOOOOO SCARY!

I am also getting sick to my stomach now and light headed, and no energy at all even with a full dose. Also every time I eat my stomach feels like it stopped digesting and all the food just lies there undigested day after day, I feel like I need to vomit every time I eat something. Think twice before taking it…even though at first I was in heaven eating normally and losing a ton of weight fast!!!

I bought this product a week ago – it only has 30 pills. To be honest I’ve lost almost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I do 30 minutes on the treadmill every day with 5 bottles of water during the day. I am really satisfied with my results.

People say that they get side effects but I didn’t get any at all and I really didn’t get much energy – I felt kind of drowsy but they do work.

I was dealing with weight issues for a while so I decided to try Zantrex 3 since I had seen it on t.v. The first day I bought it I was very energized and remembered that I had to take my dose – after a while I started to feel dizzy and wanted to fall down so I laid on my sofa for hours feeling the most worst feeling of my life. I didn’t get up untill it wore off then it started to affect my head and my memory. Everything was cloudy and now, 4 months later, I’m dealing with depression and anxiety and I’m taking Xanex every day now all thanks to Zanterx 3.

I do not recommend this product to anyone.

Seriously, this pill has done nothing for me. I feel a slight energy burst but nothing like what everyone else is talking about. I guess I’m just immune to caffeine. I do drink a lot of pop and coffee. No effects from the niacin either though. I hope they help with the weight loss at least!

I don’t understand what all you people are talking about.. You all scared me when I was reading this so I only took one to begin with a full glass of water and ate 20 mins later. This was an hour ago and I’m not feeling ANYTHING. No energy burst, no jitters, nothing. So I just took my second one and I’m waiting to feel this energy burst. I hope I didn’t waste my money on these! I got them for the energy AND the weight loss, mainly the weight loss but the energy is an added bonus since I have two small children and a house to keep up.

Editor’s comments: Ashley, just because your reaction to this product doesn’t mirror some of those reported on this web site doesn’t mean these aren’t valid comments. This product contains a ton of caffeine, to which some people are very sensitive. Obviously, you are someone who is not.

For those of you who experienced redness and itching while taking Zantrex, this is more than likely what is known as a Niacin flush. It is not harmful. Niacin dialates the capillaries allowing more blood cells to flow through. (Normally, the cells can only flow in ’single file’ but now 3 to 4 cells can flow through at a time.) When this action takes place, the blood cells are also getting rid of waste, thus creating histamine. This is a detoxification process.
I too experienced it…although very uncomfortable, it is not harmful. Zantrex contains 150% of the RDA of niacin. This can also cause nausea if you are getting too much. I would try just taking one capsule at a time to avoid nause and the discomfort of the flush. The flush is temporary and is a detox process.
I hope this helps….

I used to take this stuff relatively regularly, mostly before work. The energy rush was great and I got a lot done really fast, at first. I would feel motivated, confident, and really sharp mentally.

The big side effect i encountered on Zantrex-3 was unlike any other persons I’ve read (and I’ve read about 2/3 of this huge page), which actually surprises me a little.

I experienced a very serious increase in aggression. I would get so angry at the tiniest little inconvenience, I even attacked my friends a couple times. It was like what you hear about ‘roid rage. I was acting psychotic! Ended up stopping use after i noticed what was happening, and I may have taken it once since all this.

Wouldn’t recommend this too anyone, let alone family and friends.

Editor’s comments: Products that contain a ton of stimulants boost the central nervous system and can trigger a “fight or flight” response. Sounds like this is what happened to you!

When I was married to my ex wife (used to be anorexic before we married) she mentioned that this was the only pill she had found to reduce appetite. I tried it and it does a pretty good job at that. I would take one pill with a high protein small breakfast and then wait about 2 hours for the breakfast to settle before I would go work out.

I’m the type that can have an appetite even though I feel full, but using Zantrex helped me to control my appetite and stick to a lower calorie diet. I can’t say much about the fat burning effects cause I only ever took one pill a day, exercised and ate healthy too.

The one pill did cause some anxiety and jitters, which is why I took it with breakfast and worked out as soon as I could after, which curbed the side effects. (I’m also a big guy, 6′4″ 280 lbs 21% body fat, so one pill for me wasn’t a lot compared to someone who weighs like 160).
