市面上有很多号称可以帮助减肥人群提升代谢，加速脂肪燃烧的补剂。今天我们就来聊一下这种补剂到底靠不靠谱。
最受欢迎的增热剂主要有咖啡因、辣椒素，绿茶，藤黄果，育亨宾提取物还有苦橙提取物也就是辛弗林。【1】-【5】它们有的单独卖，有的混合在一起来卖。这些成分对新陈代谢仅仅有一些微小的的影响，提升代谢也就是几十大卡，跟你嚼一会口香糖消耗的热量差不多【17】。这种影响不足以帮助人们在减肥减脂上取得什么效果。
而且这种补剂并不是像厂商宣传的一点副作用都没有。已知的反应有恶心、便秘、腹痛和头痛，血压升高。【6】-【10】而且还有可能造成潜在的严重并发症，有些研究已经报道了这些类型的补充剂和严重的肠道炎症之间的联系。另一些研究则报告了这种类型的补剂与肝炎、肝损伤甚至肝衰竭有关【11】-【16】。
所以建议大家在购买使用这种补剂之前谨慎的想清楚，为了几十大卡的消耗，花钱去承担这些风险值不值得。
