I have an associate at work that was taking Hydroxycut Hardcore and hit a plateau and couldn't lose weight anymore. She then switched to Venom Hyperdrive 3.0 and started losing weight like crazy. Has anyone ever heard of this or better yet, have they tried it? If anyone knows anything about it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Well if you want to pump your body full of stimulants, then this will do the trick Otherwise, there's nothing in this product that will increase weight loss more than a normal healthy diet and exercise program.

I'd heard of Venom and it's a caffeine based stimulate. The manufacturers label it with all different kinds of ways to say caffeine (i.e., Yohambine, etc.), but it's still just good old fashioned "caffeine". It works pretty much by increasing metabolism by raising your heart rate (such as a few carefully timed cups of coffee). Some people report that the increased heart rate obtained by taking such stimulants is helpful during morning cardio while others purport that it gives them heart palpulations. Whether or not it is for you...depends upon your needs or reasons for using it. IMO, Caffeine is not a bad thing...and medical studies show that in the correct doses can actually be beneficial to health. Misuse of a product, tends to "demonize" the product thereby giving it a bad name. Personally, I say save your money...if you want a caffeine jolt in the mornings...walmart carries straight "caffeine" pills which do the same trick for much less money!

I take this when I'm having a "bad" day (you know, when everything sounds good except a salad!) and it really helps suppress my appetite. I don't believe there is any one pill that is good for weight loss, so much as energy supplements or hunger control. This is the only supplement I've tried that gives me sustained energy without making me feel jittery or hyper, including coffee.

Hyperdrive made by ALR is not a caffeine based stimulant. The stimulant in Hyperdrive is Methyl Synephrine. Methyl Synephrine is also known as Oxilofrine and is a banned substance in professional sports. If you need proof of this, google "Nathan Wallace Hyperdrive."

The previous version of Hyperdrive 3.0 was called Venom Hyperdrive 3.0 and was removed from stores by the FDA. The FDA removed the product because it contained staggeringly high levels of sibutramine, which is a powerful appetite suppressant only available through prescription.

ALR products have been misleadingly labeled and deceptively marketed. If you value your health, please avoid these products.
