I have begun using VPX meltdown, not noticing much of anything. What would your opinion be on combining ephedra with it? Anyone who uses the internet can figure out how to make their own ECA stack, but, with all these fake products claiming to contain E in their “awesome” product, why not add it to a decent product? Just wanting a professional opinion…

Editor’s comments: If you’re going to take the ECA stack, why bother with Meltdown at all? All it’s going to do is provide you with an outrageous amount of stimulants. One word about ephedra/ephedrine. It IS illegal in the US so companies including ephedra in their product’s formulas are not standardizing them for ephedra alkaloids, which essentially means you’re not getting any of the stuff you’re looking for. This product, Ma Huang RP, is a good example of this.

I started to take Meltdown last night. I’m a 40-year-old female, and I have always been somewhat active. Within the last two years I have worked out pretty consistently and saw a shift in my body structure due to weight training & cardio combined. Obviously I cannot speak on the product yet. I’m hoping to achieve a better tone to my body and of course lower my body fat in the process. I will report back in 4 weeks and will give my honest opinion about Meltdown and what it did/didn’t do for me.

I have been taking VPX Meltdown for about 4 days and it gives me so much energy I start to shake
and get really shaky and uneasy. Is that normal?

I really want to still take this but I keep feeling like my heart rate is elevated and I get a little tummy pains. I’m really not sure if this is normal. I’ve read amazing reviews on it and need some help please get back to me soon

Editor’s comments: Lauren, everyone responds differently to stimulants – we all have different tolerances. VPX products tend to be pretty heavy on stimulants, so we’re not surprised to hear your heart rate is up. That can be normal for stimulant based products. However, if you have heart palpitations or don’t feel comfortable on it, it would be a good idea to stop taking the product immediately.

I just bought this product an I really hope it works. I have tried so many in the past that was a waste of money. I need something that will suppress my appetite and increase energy. I have two kids and work 40 hours a week but my hours at work vary day by day its usually 11-8 which makes it hard to do anything. Any suggestions on what to eat while on the go?

Editor’s comments: Avoid simple carbs; high fiber fruits and vegetables plus lean protein are the best choices.

I am a 40 year old female, walk/jog 3-4 miles 4 days a week. I used to be a PHEN/Phen person and was able to maintain my weight loss for 10 years, however in the past 3-4 years I have really struggled with my weight. I am considering Meltdown, but also looking at Curvelle. Could they be taken together????

Editor`s comments: Not something we`d recommend Mary; way too many stimulants. Really, you should choose one product or the other.

I’m doing the p90x workouts and I’m on week 4. I’m 15 and a male, is it ok to take the meltdown fat burner pills, I’m 165 lbs and and strong. I also climb a lot.

Editor’s comments: This product is not recommended for individuals under the age of 18, so no, it’s not recommended.

Just found this product today I have seen alot of good reviews on it. The only thing that makes me leary about it is the comment about it being so much stronger than ephedrine. Thats kind of scary to me! I am gonna give it a shot though only taking one pill. Are there any supplements that you CANT take with it? My boyfriend wants to take as well…He is trying to build muscle mass and I am just trying to drop some pounds?

I’ve used meltdown off and on for the last year and at first it worked WONDERS. (i know you’re not supposed to use it for more than 8 weeks) Lately I’ve had to increase from 1 pill a day to 4 and i’m not getting the same results. Does it lose it’s effectiveness?? Has this happened to anyone else??

I started Meltdown 6 days ago. I am Keto, (low carb) and I ate a pizza and Rigatoni with Italian bread, and still in Ketosis, according to keto sticks. Is that because of the carb blocking ability Meltdown has? From my research, the carbs don`t get broken down into glucose, but are emitted from the body. I love the product, and I am only taking 2 a day.

Editor comments: Meltdown has no carbohydrate blocking ability (see our Meltdown review for more). If you are in ketosis, you will not immediately go out of it by eating a couple of carbohydrate rich meals. It can take a few days of carbohydrate consumption before you do. That`s why some low carb body building diets include carb loading days – to spike insulin and take advantage the anabolic advantages it offers – without going out of ketosis.
