I got a free sample of these gimmicky "fat burners" with my latest protein order. I know they're not magical pills to make you lose weight, but I'm just wondering what the ingredients even do and if the serving dosages are effective or not, I assume most pre-stacked supps are under-dosed and filled with useless bullshit. I usually take regular 200mg caffeine pills and from what I can tell these are just caffeine supps with various other supps ingredients.
>Caffeine 175mg
>Green tea extract 375mg
>L Tyrosine 200mg
>L Theanine 125mg
>Vitamin B6 5mg
>Vitamin B12 20ug
>Chromium 120ug
>Cayenne powder 50mg
>Black pepper extract 5mg
So is there any point to use these instead of regular 200mg caffeine tabs? Are any of these other ingredients useful if properly dosed?

They'll give you some energy. Nothing in there according to your list is considered harmful. But if you want proper doses of aminos/vitamins you'd be better off actually taking amino acids and a multi vitamin. Use them since they're free but I wouldn't spend extra bucks on that.
L-theanine in combination with caffeine improves focus more than either alone. That's been supported in a few studies.
B vitamins for energy is sort of supported, the green tea extract has some positive evidence but also evidence it might not work and could cause liver damage in predisposed people.
Pepper extract binds to enzymes used to metabolize xanathines so in theory it should increase the effectiveness of caffeine, although IDK why you would do that instead of just dosing more.
Are there any affordable supplements from sites like myprotein.com that slightly raise HGH or testosterone?
I already use creatine, caffeine and Korean ginseng.

Not to any level that useful or worth the money
