Has anyone measured their body temperature before and after takeing a thermogenic supplement?
Has it gone up and by how much?

Good question.
Most effective thermogenics do raise body temp.
"thermogenic"
<physiology> Relating to heat, or to the production of heat; producing heat; thermogenous; as, the thermogenic tissues.

Interesting question. I suppose you can just take your temperature before and after taking a thermogenic. I haven't done that but I do notice that I sweat and feel warmer when on a thermogenic especially during a workout.

I suggest an experiment for anyone on thermogenics.
1. Drop them for a few days and don't change any of your regular supplementation.
2. Pick a non-training day where you might be fairly inactive.
3. Take your body temperature.
4. Take your thermogenic.
5. Measure your body temperature every 1/2 hour for 4-6 hours.
6. Report your results here.

Yes, they do raise your body temperature and a consequence of this is sweating more.

The only one I've used that actually made me sweat was VPX Redline.

Yes they do, the point of taking a thermogenic is to make your body use more calories for body heat, there is really no question whether it works or not, it does.
