Shedding Unwanted Pounds with San TIGHT!


By Elizabeth Myers, RD

San TIGHT! is an ephedra-free weight-loss supplement that was designed to shed stubborn fat without distressing your central nervous system. It sells for approximately $50 for 60 capsules, with the recommended dosage being one capsule per day.

Product Claims

  • “Compounds that help you lose weight within the shortest period of time.”
  • “Increased feeling of overall well being that will simply amaze you every step of the way-- especially if you are low-carb dieting.”
  • “A diet formula designed to burn fat while following a sensible diet.”
  • “Elite pharmaceutically designed rapid release capsule for quick & noticeable effects.”
  • “A scientifically sound formula so powerful you see & feel its effects with just one capsule a day.”

Active Ingredients and How it Works

San TIGHT! contains a “thermogenic proprietary blend” of the following eight ingredients:

  • Vinpocetine: improves muscle performance
  • Sclareolide: increases energy and metabolism
  • Caffeine: a diuretic that boosts metabolism
  • Bioperine: aids in the absorption of nutrients
  • Yohimbe: increases metabolism, stimulates fat loss, and assists in muscle growth
  • Guggulsterones E&Z: stabilizes blood sugar and stimulates fat burning
  • Green tea extract: an antioxidant, diuretic, and increases metabolism
  • Synephrine: similar to ephedrine, increases metabolism, has fat-burning and appetite-suppressing properties

Scientific Evidence

San Tight! claims that its ingredients have been “scientifically proven,” but most of the ingredients have no credible human scientific evidence, with the exception of maybe caffeine and green tea extract. In addition, we do not know how much of each of these ingredients is in the TIGHT! formula because it is protected by a “proprietary” formula that prevents the actual amount of each ingredient to be known.

Consumer Feedback

“I tried San tight. I hated it. I used one pill per day for two weeks, and I felt like I used nothing at all. I had no extra energy for cardio after the first two or three days. I tried upping it to two pills and all I got was anxiety, nausea, and an occasional headache.”

--Arthur from New Orleans

“I've been overweight for some time. Tried many diets, only one worked but I always needed that extra "push." I loved the hydroxycut, before it was banned. But after reading about this pill in my shape mag, I tried it. I couldn’t believe how it helped my eating. I don’t feel as hungry and I have more energy. So far, a week on this and already lost 5lbs.”
