Soo I've been trying to loose weight for awhile. Started taking multi vitamens and it helped then my weight would bounce around. Started cracking down on food, servings, etc. still bounced around. I work 10 hour shifts and in high heat so I sweat a lot and have to keep hydrated and I'll sometimes get good sized castings I have to lift. When I went to get more vietamens I asked if they had anything that would help burn fat....I got turned to C4 preworkout. Have only had one shot of it so far but any one with more experience have any issues with stuff like this? I take zoloft.

RG,

I think that these performance/workout enhancers are pretty much hype...and not necessary for the average person's routine. Better to stick to a healthy diet, multi vitamin and your regular workouts...(assuming you are doing 3 or more times a week combo of cardio weights/strengthening exercises and stretching.)

Even Gatorade, so favored by weekend warriors is a waste of money, when water will suffice for anyone doing a moderate to even high workouts. Really only elite athletes need these extra electrolytes and suppliments.

I also did read that there may be an interaction with the C4 and SSRI's...so you will need to check with your doctor about its safety for you.

Sorry to be a 'Debbie Downer'...just want you to be safe...and save your $$!

S.C.

Hi RG

I agree with SC you are better sticking to a healthy diet , multi vitamins and regular exercise.

It's also worth checking out of your multi vitamin interacts with your AD I recently found out that the iron in my multivitamin could react with the AD I take so I checked this with my doctor and she said it should be fine but I was best to not continually take a multi vitamin and leave a couple of months between courses.
