About Us

Since 1999, UltimateFatBurner.com has been one of the few sites on the Net dedicated to bringing you unbiased and science-based reviews of all your favorite (and not so favorite) diet, weight loss and sport supplements. Unbiased, of course, means we’re not owned by a supplement company or affiliated with anyone in particular.

We do our own thing, because it’s the right thing to do.

Unlike our competitors, our mandate is not the sale of supplements (although we are fans of many of the better products, and of supplementation in the correct circumstances) but the education of our visitor… you! In other words…

We’re here to level the playing field… to give you a fighting chance! With UltimatefatBurner.com bookmarked, there’s no need to worry that you will fall victim to the outrageous and unsubstantiated claims made by many supplement retailers and manufacturers.

While you’re thinking about it, we urge you to bookmark us (just hit “Ctrl-D”), subscribe to our newsletter, tell your friends about us… and then sit back and enjoy the ride while we save you money!

Who we are…
