You CAN skip days, but for the best fat burning effect, I would take it daily. Dosing will be very individual, with some needing only 1 capsule twice per day, and others needing 2-3 twice per day. Best to start low and work your way up.

Wow, that is rare! Most people complain that it OVERstimulates them!

I just completed my 6th and final week on Meltdown, and now I will take a break and see how my body reacts.

My opinion of the product stands...it is fantastic!

My bodyfat dropped from 8.3% to 6.2% over the 6 weeks with no change in diet/training/cardio. I cannot wait to see what it does along with a "cutting" diet.

I was most impressed with the mood enhancing effects though. Those little caps just made me feel happy and productive all day long. Today is my first day off of them, and while I feel fine, I do miss the extra focus and clarity that Meltdown induces.

I believe that the fat burning effects will be even more dramatic for those with higher starting bodyfat %'s and also when a low carb, sub-maintenance diet is utilized (as carbs tend to blunt the effects of the compounds in Meltdown).

I will continue to post more feedback and results as I get them, as now I have a couple more clients starting on the product.

what method are you testing your bf% that you could narrow it down as accurately as .1%?

I just received the following feedback on Meltdown. It is quite interesting, and moves off into other areas aside from what we have been discussing...

"I took Meltdown before a meeting and for 2.5 hours the entire back of my shirt was wet with sweat in a 72 degree, adequately air conditioned conference room! Meltdown is more thermogenic than any other "product" I've ever taken. It gives me a killer, crystal clear, anxiety-free buzz with superb mental clarity. Lights were brighter and I was on top of my game as far as running mental circles around my business colleagues. Meltdown is for real and anybody who is in touch with, and attuned to their body will instantly know that Meltdown is a home run.

Not to get too personal (sorry, got to post this here, LOL) but I took Meltdown before sex and had the most powerful orgasm ever. I'm not going to lie; even if it didn't burn fat, I would still take Meltdown to enhance sex, mood and mental focus. Intense focus in the gym after working all day is another major plus!"

Gotta admit, I was quite taken back by the sex part of the feedback, but now I have to see for myself, LOL!

A Convenient mart down the road sells VPX Red Line in liquid form. I indulged a couple of times to see how good it was and I was very disappointed. I chugged the whole bottle which VPX says is the equivalent of 2 servings, and I didn't feel a damn thing.

I might even prefer Red Bull to it.

The original liquid clenbutrx? Hard to say as far as fat burning goes, as Meltdown is still too new. For me they seem to work about equally, but I still think that E/C/Y is still the best fat burning stack to date for most.

As far as crazy energy goes, most will "feel" Clenbutrx more, but the type of energy I get from MD is far more productive in my opinion. It is not a nervous energy, but more like pure focus and concentration for the task at hand.

Also, ephedra tends to make me irritable, while MD puts me in good spirits.

You are a rare case then. Most people find that an entire Redline makes them too stimulated...sometimes to the point of feeling sick. I cannot handle Redline, but have no problem drinking Red Bull at all.

I am not really sure what you are looking for. All of the ads for Meltdown are basically like articles with info on every ingredient. If you want info beyond what is being presented by VPX you will have to do your own research.

The ads (articles) that are appearing are basically pared down from hundreds of pages of journal research.

The research is there if you want to take the time to look things up. VPX's ads are already 4 pages long, so they get in as much as they can in that space...science plus hype (just like any other company in this industry).

However, I respect your desire to read and learn more about each ingredient. I had the opportunity to read much of this material before getting involved with the Meltdown launch, and I was quite impressed...but not as impressed as when I used the stuff. Like I always say, research is wonderful, but until something proves it itself in the real world then words are rather useless.

i have yet to see the ads, but i dont pick up magazines, so i will look for them. i will also look for research on the ingredients, but so far i found nothing, it seems there is a lot of "in house" research.

There was plenty of in house and scientific research. Now the field research is going on and it is proving itself to users. This is what is MOST important.

eh, i prefer studies, i have seen many products get great results that ended up being nothing more than placebo. ill continue looking, and ill try and get a magazine with the ad in it. like i said, a product with this many "catchy" products in it, raised my eyebrows, and i want to learn more about it.

That is the best thing you can do. Try it for yourself and see what it can do.
