Created by Hi Tech Pharmaceuticals, Fastin claims that you can lose more weight by actively suppressing appetite. It actually imitates the prescription known as Fastin, and apparently, with Hi Tech Fastin, you get all natural and more effective results than ever before. They claim that Hi Tech Fastin has all of the right ingredients, all of the right amounts, and everything else. But the question is, does this supposedly “pharmaceutical grade” formula actually work?

Hi Tech Fastin has some basic ingredients. It can actually be broken down quite simply. They have quite a few chemical sounding names. But they seem to repeat the same 5 ingredients a few times over to try to make it look more technical and complicated. This is a relatively common move among many different types of products. But the main question still remains, what are those ingredients, and how do they work?

Hi Tech Fastin has an ingredient first of all known as phenylethylamine. Phenylethylamine has actually been pushed as the natural alternative and replacement to prescription Phentermine, which is actually more popular and effective than prescription Fastin, even though they both technically work with the same basic mechanisms of action. With this being said, it can be a powerful appetite suppressant. However, unfortunately, they only use small amounts that do not give you any results.

From there, they use an ingredient called synephrine, which is the chemical cousin to ephedrine. It has been used to replace ma huang in a number of different products, and they are finding that synephrine has potential. However, while it may produce results and without the nasty side effects of epehdra, again you run into the problem of the fact that Hi Tech Fastin does not actually use the right amounts.

Their third ingredient, known as theobromine, has been known to burn more fat and in some ways show you certain benefits as a whole. With theobromine, you actually get the fat burning power of caffeine. But you also get all of the antioxidant benefits of chocolate. So it is an optimal combination. However, again without using the right amounts, it is completely inconsequential.

From there, their final big ingredient is known as yohimbine. Yohimbine is a natural aphrodisiac in men, and it’s always important to pay attention to this particular ingredient. It only requires about 10mg to be used as a treatment for male dysfunction. However, it has never been successfully used in the promotion of weight loss or other results. This being said, yohimbine has been associated with various side effects like heart attack, stroke, and renal failure, but not really benefits.

We would not recommend using Hi Tech Fastin. It is an underpowered imitation that does not have the right stuff. It has some good ingredients, but only in extremely small amounts. And ultimately speaking, Hi Tech Fastin is more likely to cause potentially serious side effects than anything else. So we would definitely suggest other options.
