Created by a Danish company, Chili Burn limits sales largely to Canada, in part because some of the advertising is a little bit sketchy. Chili Burn is one of a few products brazen enough to suggest that you can lose weight without diet and exercise. Of course, as you may know, the United States FTC has had a field day with that one when other companies try. Why? Because there is no way to lose weight without diet and exercise if you’re healthy that is.

How Does Chili Burn Justify This Claim?

Chili Burn relies mostly on one ingredient: chili powder, claiming that this one ingredient can significantly increase fat burning. Moreover, Chili Burn describes this formula as being completely stimulant and ideally stimulant-free.

Both of these statements are technically true. Technically, chili powder does create a stimulant-free thermogenic fat burning effect. However, there are certain ways in which these statements are not true. For starters, chili is not side effect free. Because of the spicy taste, this ingredient can cause indigestion and heartburn for starters. However, the biggest indiscrepancy is with the weight loss.

Unfortunately, clinical studies have only ever shown that chili powder can promote mild thermogenic fat burning effects. These calorie burning benefits hardly make up for the lack of a healthy diet and exercise program. In fact, even those who are on a healthy diet and exercise plan may not notice a significant difference. If this were the only ingredient, this would be a serious problem, but there are other ingredients to consider.

The Other Ingredients

While most of the ingredients in Chili Burn have nothing to do with weight loss, we find it ironic that the one other weight loss ingredient in Chili Burn is more powerful than chili (the key ingredient). Green tea has literally been through hundreds of clinical studies showing that this ingredient can increase metabolism, burn fat, and even improve heart health with natural antioxidants.

However, there is one little problem that makes a huge difference. Chili Burn does not have the clinically proven amounts of green tea. Chili pepper’s effects are virtually unnoticeable if you don’t know what you’re looking for. However, if Chili Burn had 400mg of green tea, most subjects would definitely see measurable differences in their weight loss.

Is Chili Burn a Safe & Potentially Effective Fat Burner?

We will give Chili Burn enough credit to say that this product might have the clinically proven amounts of chili powder. However, the fat burning effects are nominal at best. This blend definitely does not have the clinically proven 400mg of green tea, and of course because of the caffeine and the chili pepper, there are potential side effects. Chili Burn does not meet any popularly held expectations.

You can use Chili Burn if you would like, and you may notice certain health benefits. This blend has plenty of vitamins and antioxidants among other healthy nutrients, but we wouldn’t define Chili Burn as a fat burner.
