Are there diet pills that we do like? Yes - quite a few actually.

Will GNC X12 Really Burn Fat?
GNC X12™ is the latest fat burner from the supplement powerhouse GNC. Everyone loves to over-hype their fat burners and GNC is no different. Here is what GNC says about X12:
"12 times more calorie burning after your workout"
"Burn 278 more calories with X12 and exercise"
"Clinically Researched"
The calorie burning properties of X12 is nothing to get excited about since a majority of fat burners boast the same results or better.
When a company throws in the term 'clincially proven' it is a huge marketing tactic. X12 is not clinically proven, no research was done on X12, but research was done on a few of the ingredients. And as the case in most of these clinical studies, the amount used in the study is way more than is included in a serving of X12.
GNC X12's Ingredients:
- Supplement Facts
- Serving Size: 1 Capsule
- Servings Per Container: 45>
- Amount Per Serving: % Daily Value
- Nicacin (B3)> 20mg
- Proprietary Thermogenic Blend 238.34 mg
- Caffeine Anhydrous
- Capsimax
- Capsicum Fruit Extract
- Bioperine Black Pepper Extract
GNC X12 Conclusion:
A little black pepper, some red pepper and caffeine. Pretty spicy right? Overall, GNC's X12 is a pretty generic fat burner which sells at a premium price. If you are looking for a serious fat burner, take look at some of our other reviews.

I do drink water between sets & the pain, really not that bad guys, immediatly goes away.
I have done nothing different aside from take the pill as described & I have lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks, not bad.
i sweat more but,,, sometimes my stomuach burnt togather,,T..T it was really painful, so should eat something to relife the pain...
but i bought 2 bottles ,.. stupid choice~!!!!
After about 15 minutes, I was feeling good enough to wash up and step outside. I grabbed a bottle of water and now am much better.
Needless to say, I'm returning the bottle ASAP!! I'm SO mad!!
Also, I recently had blood work done and my doctor said my B12 was waaay too high which is attributed to the niacin levels in X12. She told me not to take X12 anymore because elevated B12 levels even for a few weeks can cause liver damage. Needless to say my X12 bottle is going back to GNC!! Please don't take this pill...it's not worth the potential damage you could cause to your body!
My advice to everyone is to keep a copy of this and any other page for their records just encase we see long term effects.
It causes incredible abdominal pain that starts about 20-45mins after taking it. I have a pretty high pain threshold and am not new to stimulant based weight loss pills (took Stacker 2 back in the ephedra days and loved it). The first 2 days I took it, I noticed some odd, discomfort in my stomach, but tried to dismiss it. The 3nd day the pain was so intense it made me sick.
Ever the optimist (and because I wanted to make sure it was because of the x12) I continued to take it for 1 more day, but I was miserable and in pain, so gave it up.
You can't really exercise to loose weight (or do anything else) when you can barely move except to hang your head over to vomit and then curl back up into a fetal position
NO BAD EXPERIENCES WITH X12. I HAVE LOST 6LBS IN ONE WEEK WITH EXERCISING AND CHANGING MY EATING HABITS. I THINK WITH THE X12 PILLS, YOU NEED TO AVOID EXTRA CAFFEINE, FRIED FOODS, AND ETC.. AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER.
I don't have stomach pain or cramp but damn, my face flared up burning like a fire. My ears turned red and burning as well. My face turned red and the line around my neck was red. My daughter freaked out looking @ me like I'm a "beet." My body shook up like nervous and I rushed outside after short difficult breathing and walked around the blocks a few times until cooling down and able to breathe normally after I washed my face with cool water. My Neighbors gave me funny look. rme..thanks a lot to the stupid X-12 products, I only paid for a trial. X-12 should be banned and labeled as dangerous risk. I'm healthy but that product made me look like I'm a risk patient. ugh!!! No more of that product. Thanks God for the trial instead the purchase full bottle so I can test it out first. *smh*>-(
By far, this is likely the worst side effect that I've had using a thermogenic. I'm not sure whether this product was made for humans.
I have been experiencing the worst ever stomach cramps. Last about a half hour. Burning, sharp pains, body temp rises, panting because of the stomach pains. I have to stay in the fetal position till it goes away. Back pains... I don't want to stop taking it because I lost weight in a sort amount of time. I have the pain associated with this... UGH!!!! >-(
does anyone has end it up in the hospital because of this pills?
and i really love this product i have so much energy on it and i dont feel sick im getting my housework done my work work and i dont feel overwhelmed..im in a better mood more social then usual because im not tired or worn out..i made it tio the gym all week and didnt feel tird during classes i am able to work out to my fullest i feel ...i feel great before and after workouts...i even noticed i was less hungry i mean im eating and get hungry but once i start eating im fuller easier...like my stomache says im full stop eating i know its not a appetite suppresent but it sure works like one for me...i think because i have so much energy to do task im not sitting around eationg!
i noticed some described burning and itching and pains in stomache i use to experiance that with hydroxycut along with the hives i think its an allergy and u should discontinue the use of any product that does that to yu...as for me this is the first product i have found safe and have had no side effects i absolutley love it...i use to work for gnc and the products in this bottle are safe and effective
i heard alot of people saying well it doesnt have aciberry or blah blah all the other hyped products on the market..well it doesnt need any hyped up products that have severe side effects to work plus alot of products over use ingrediants and are 100% bad for ur body u may lose some weight but double in the long run..with this pill u are sure to lose weight and keep it off cause you are burning the calories and there is nothing blocking fat etc witch is dangerous! i know a product with aci berry its suppose to internal cleanse you and make uy lose weight well lets just say know someone who took it for a wek or 2 lost nothing and all of a sudden got terrible stomache pains she began to go #2 dirreah more then a typical like extreme it was bloody and lime green and black and she ended up crawling to phone calling er ...she was bleeding internally! so if u want to ise some crazy diet pill with false promise that can kill you then go ahead ill stick with something safe i dont care if u say its only equivelent to 2 cups of coffee there are other products that will ensure weight loss...i rather beable to eat on a product then be starving myself anorexic under nurished and unhealthy alot of products today are so bad for you so be carefull...this product has helped me lose 7 pds in 1 week!!!!!!! thats awsome it may not work for everyone but it works for some i back this product to the fullest!
I am a regular coffee drinker, and I'm absolutely certain that it's NOT the caffeine causing this pain. I have NEVER felt pain this intense, and I suppose certain people react to this product differently. I took some pepto bismol last time I was suffering, and it MAY have worked, or it may have just been the passing of time. It took me approximately an hour for the pain to go away, and I had drunk a liter of Dasani water and ate a bowl of whole grain cereal with some strawberries and grapes for breakfast.
SERIOUSLY, don't buy this product! I took the Burn 60 pill in the past from GNC, and I didn't get these pains! I should have bought it again, but the saleslady said this one was the "top of the line". Burn 60 helped me lose almost 20 pounds in less than three months with steady exercise (walking 10-15 miles/week and yoga) and healthy eating.
I have had a strong stomach pain also..
GNC should chance this product soon...cause it's giving a lot of problems and many returning...
I have a Bachelors degree in Nutrition so it's helpful to see what these "Propietary Thermogenic Blend" really are and it looks pretty legit. Also, GNC basically took the marketing information from the product and just cut and paste it on the box. Pretty funny actually. I like the Bioperine too. It helps the bioavailability of the Capsimax and if you take it with certain supplements too, it can help your body absorb those better too.:-D
I got it on sale for $15 dollars at GNC, regularly $50 dollars, so I decided to give it a try!!
I haven't had any stomach pains like a lot of people have, its because of the pepper in it that causes the reaction to some people!!
but if you want LOTS AND LOTS of energy, take 1 of these!! I am bouncing off the walls!!!!! Feel like a kid again with all this energy!!
A couple of things:
- Do not take on an empty stomach. This is probably where people are experiencing the stomach pain and nausea. Even on non-exercise days, where they say to take it before breakfast...eat breakfast right after so that when the pill breaks down you have food in there.
Otherwise, reviewers say negatively that it's a mild pill. This is a positive for me, because no I can't handle a whole pile of caffeine.
Also, you can look up each of the ingredients prior to taking it, so you will know if you are more sensitive or even allergic to any of the ingredients. If so, do not take it.
I like this product though....two thumbs up!! So happy that I bought it and am totally going to buy a second bottle!
Also awesome - you only have to take 1 pill a day!! Most other fat burners require you to take like 6 pills!
