I began taking Zantrex Black 6 days ago. I started taking one in the morning as soon as I begin to eat my cereal. I know the directions say to take it 15 minutes before eating, but I never take any kind of pills on an empty stomach. I did not experience any side effects thus far. I just started a second pill today right as I started eating my lunch. I did not experience any side effects yet. I intend on doing the one pill in the morning and one at lunch until my body gets used to the ingredients in this pill. On day 8, I plan on taking two in the morning with my cereal and one at lunch. Beginning with week 3, I will take two in the morning and two at lunch. Yes, I know this is not per the instructions. But, I'd rather do it the way I am doing it by slowly introducing it to my body and then once my body is used to the ingredients, I will be able to take the full dosage recommended. It may take me longer to get the achieved results, yet I have had no negative side effects thus far. I do have more energy and feel an all over better feeling so far.
I have noticed a decrease in appetite. However, I have noticed an increase in my water intake, which is true benefit of taking this thus. Too soon for me to tell where this pill will take me. But, I believe my slow and steady approach has eliminated any side effects that others have mentioned in the reviews. So far, I'm happy with what I'm experiencing and have no complaints yet. Time will tell as I increase my dosage at my own pace. I would recommend it. However, you know your own body and how you respond to energy pills, weight loss supplements, etc. Have some common sense when deciding to swallow these pills. That's what I've been doing and will continue to do!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
