It makes sense that MuscleTech would feature Hydroxycut SX-7 Non-Stimulant as part of its SX-7 line. This accommodates consumers who prefer not to go down some roads with their supplements, especially when those roads have caffeine.

Can You Burn Fat Without Caffeine?

While Hydroxycut SX-7 Non Stimulant won’t give you the burst of energy you’re looking for, it does have a few natural ingredients that will help elevate mood, reduce body fat, and improve your overall health.

One of the first ingredients you’ll find in here is ashwagandha, a compound known as an adaptogen. A literature review of ashwagandha revealed it effectively reduces stress, acts as a neuroprotective, and has anti-inflammatory and several other health-promoting benefits.[1]

As far as fat burning ingredients go, one of the most effective in here is going to be the green coffee bean extract. Several studies have proven it reduces body fat and helps promote healthy weight maintenance.[2]

Green coffee bean’s benefits are attributed to a compound it contains called chlorogenic acid, which researchers suggest is the reason green coffee bean also helps reduce glycemic disorders such as diabetes.

Roots, Branches, and Leaves Oh My

What’s more, you’re going to find a number of natural herbs in here such as oregano leaf, yacon root, and rhodiola rosea to further alleviate stress and reduce cortisol levels. This is the stress hormone which can inhibit fat burning if elevated too high.

Additionally, oregano leaf creates a euphoric sensation and helps boost mood.

Price and Availability

Right now Hydroxycut SX-7 Non-Stimulant is retailing for about $59.99. It seems that all of the SX-7 series supplements are being sold exclusively at GNC, so stay tuned to see if they end up being offered at any other online retailers.

Non Caffeinated, No Problem

Hydroxycut SX-7 Non Stimulant is actually a pretty versatile suppplemenet. It can be taken if you’re looking to drop body fat without getting the jittery effects of caffeine. It can also be taken with a pre-workout if you want to boost the amount of calories you burn during your workout.
