Calorie-Burn Energy Fusion Diet is a weight loss supplement that is made by Applied Nutrition. The manufacturer claims that this product can help individuals lose weight by boosting the metabolism (leading to increased calorie burning) and that it also provides additional energy.http://www.appliednutrition.com/products/diet/calorie-burn-energy-fusion-diet/
The active ingredients in Calorie-Burn Energy Fusion Diet are B vitamins, green tea, white tea and oolong tea. There are 360 milligrams of the tea blend per serving. 100 percent of the recommended daily allowances for thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 are also provided. These make up all 8 of the nutrients that are classified as B vitamins.http://www.appliednutrition.com/products/diet/calorie-burn-energy-fusion-diet/http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/bvitamins.html
The product comes in the form of liquid soft-gels, and the recommended dosage is 2 pills. Users are instructed to take this product in the morning along with a glass of water.http://www.appliednutrition.com/products/diet/calorie-burn-energy-fusion-diet/
Effectiveness
Research shows that B vitamins do play a role in metabolism speed, and have influence over the body's conversion of food into energy. However, experts believe that people who already eat a balanced, healthy diet that contains sufficient amounts of these nutrients will likely not benefit by taking supplements.http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-lifestyle-guide/energy-boosters-can-supplements-and-vitamins-help?page=3
Green, oolong and black teas have actually been shown to affect the metabolism, and also contain high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, which may fight a number of illnesses.http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/antioxidants-in-green-and-black-tea
Still, over the counter diet pills such as these do not have to be proven to work before they are made available for consumers, and most of the time there is no solid research to confirm their effectiveness.http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/weight-loss/HQ01160
