Unique components
Each of the elements of black spider widow deserves special attention. The main one is ephedra extract. Its source is a well-known plant that was previously used to treat poor circulation, cough, fever, fatigue and so on. After some time, the plant gained popularity in two more countries - Spain and India.
An interesting fact is that the name “ephedra” was attached to all plants that contained this extract. If we talk about the “primary source”, then ephedra is a small plant that is no more than 50 centimeters in height and is very similar in appearance to horsetail.
Ephedra extract has long been used to treat urticaria, bronchial diseases and many other ailments. The peculiarity of the action of the “juice” of the plant is that it increases blood pressure due to vasoconstriction.
Another component of black spider widow is aspirin. Its predecessor was an extract from weeping willow (white willow), the miraculous properties of which were used by healers from China thousands of years ago. The main microelement contained in the plant is the glycoside salicin. Once ingested, it begins to act similarly to regular aspirin. That is why extracts from the bark of this tree are comparable in effectiveness to the most common aspirin. But the natural element also has an advantage - oak bark has many fewer side effects. In particular, the same aspirin is considered extremely unsafe for the digestive system.
The beneficial properties of aspirin include antipyretic properties, relieving headaches, fighting colds, alleviating bleeding of internal organs, and reducing pain in the joints. In addition, white willow decoction (aspirin) is recommended for people over fifty as an effective means for preventing heart attacks.

What do the studies say?
The unique fat burner and its components have undergone many different studies. In particular, American scientists were able to prove the unique properties of ephedra extract and its powerful effect on the body. It is a powerful stimulant of the central nervous system, accelerates metabolic processes, and helps to “melt” excess fat deposits (by increasing internal temperature). As a result, the fat burner gives a greater effect. This fact has been scientifically proven, and research results can be found in many scientific journals.

Adding caffeine to the composition made the fat burner several times more powerful. In addition, taking the supplement removed any desire to smoke and “fill” your body with nicotine.

Black widow fat burner composition. Composition of the fat burner “Black Widow”
The effect of the product is manifested due to the combination of its constituent components, similar to other types of sports nutrition. Each of the elements (ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin) does not have a sufficient effect; the result is achieved only by combining them. However, in this combination a certain proportion is maintained, and the ingredients directly interact with each other, enhancing heat exchange and metabolic reactions in the body.
Important! In their natural form, these components are not included in the composition of the drug, so as not to cause harm to the body.
Instead of pure ephedrine, the supplement contains an extract of ephedra horsetail - a safe natural herbal product that has been used in folk medicine for a long time, and today is widely used in pharmacology. A distinctive property of the substance is its ability to reduce appetite and cause nervous excitement. In addition, this ingredient:
- increases energy costs;
- depresses sleep;
- increases heart rate;
- helps remove excess fluid;
- increases anaerobic (oxygen-free) endurance of the body.
The plant component caffeine, found in coffee beans, green tea and enhanced with guarana, is capable of:
- serve as a tonic;
- eliminate lethargy and drowsiness;
- relieve feelings of fatigue;
- increase endurance and tirelessness;
- improve the functioning of the circulatory system.
According to researchers, drinking caffeine helps you lose 5 kg of fatty tissue each month by burning it.
Aspirin, which can be harmful to health, is also included in the Black Widow dietary supplement, not in the form of a medicine. It is replaced by white willow bark extract, which contains an abundance of salicin glycoside (a plant substitute for aspirin). The plant contains many valuable nutrients and vitamins. By enhancing the effect of ephedrine and having an analgesic effect, the natural substance acts much more mildly than the medicine.
