Doctor Reviews: Atrafen Elite

Atrafen Elite is a caffeine supplement that contains poorly studied compounds that are neither effective nor safe for weight or fat loss.

Cayenne does not burn fat in humans. In reality, Fire Bullets doesn’t seem to offer much more benefit than a standard caffeine supplement.

Hyleys Slim Tea is a basic combination of green and senna tea. A regular organic green tea would likely be better for slimming.

Activating TRPV1 receptors or taking capsaicin/cayenne extracts does not burn fat in humans, despite the weak evidence in mice and cells.
