Nutrisport Cut & Burn is designed to improve fat loss and give you energy for your workout. It contains the stimulants guarana and caffeine, and since the guarana is high in caffeine it has the same stimulatory effect. Caffeine is an effective and safe stimulant, which stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which can improve performance in exercise lasting over 30 mins. However, the body does build a resistance to the stimulatory effects of caffeine, therefore if you want to maintain the benefits caffeine you should avoid consuming it too much outside of your training.

Cut & Burn provides L-carnitine, which is a protein involved in the metabolism of fat for energy by the muscles, but unfortunately there is no evidence that supplementation of L-carnitine can increase muscle carnitine content or improves fat loss.

Chromium picolinate is contained in this supplement to provide extra chromium for the body, which is used by the body to help the metabolism of carbohydrate and fats. Despite numerous studies of its effects on weight loss, none have provided evidence that it aids with fat loss. This is probably because the body only needs tiny trace amounts of chromium in order to function, therefore supplementation is never going to be necessary. Since the only effective substance in this product is caffeine, you could easily just buy caffeine tablets for much cheaper.

Grenade Thermo Detonator (TD) is designed to energize you for your workouts and help aid the loss of body fat when combined with exercise. TD contains various substances that aim to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system (also known as the “fight or flight” response) to increase energy levels and burn fat. It contains two well researched, effective and safe stimulants, caffeine and cayenne, which both stimulate the sympathetic nervous system which can improve performance.

There is some evidence in humans that cayenne may also help promote fat loss in over weight and obese humans. However, the body does build a resistance to the stimulatory effects of these substances therefore if you want to maintain the benefits caffeine you should avoid consuming it too much outside of your training.

Grenade Thermo Detonator contains Phenylalanine, which is an amino acid and precursor of some stimulatory hormones, but supplementation of it does not provide any effect on energy levels or fat loss. Furthermore, there is more Phenylalanine in a small glass of milk than the 25mg supplied by this supplement so it is unclear why Phenylalanine is in this supplement.

A large dose of green tea is also present in TD, a supplement which is very well researched, and like many “weight loss” herbal supplements, has had contrasting results in the research, but may help promote modest losses in body fat. However, green tea is known to have a significant antioxidant effect that may improve recovery from training and also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The inclusion of Bitter Orange Peel in this supplement may have some beneficiary effect on weight loss because it causes the blood vessels to constrict and therefore increase blood pressure and heart rate, increasing metabolism, but there is not any actual evidence that it aids fat loss. Obviously taking a substance which actively increases blood pressure is extremely dangerous and will definitely reduce exercise performance. Due to the known dangers, bitter orange has not been properly tested on humans but anecdotally it is believed to have similar side effects as ephedra, a substance made illegal because of the side effects such as hypertension, insomnia, heart attack and stroke.

Dymatize Dyma Burn Xtreme with Ephidrina (TM) is designed to improve fat loss and give you energy for your workout. It contains two well researched, effective and safe stimulants, caffeine and cayenne, which both stimulate the sympathetic nervous system which can improve performance. There is some evidence in humans that cayenne may also help promote fat loss in over weight and obese humans.However, the body does build a resistance to the stimulatory effects of caffeine, therefore if you want to maintain the benefits caffeine you should avoid consuming it too much outside of your training.

DymaBurn provides L-carnitine, which is a protein involved in the metabolism of fat in the body, but there is no evidence that supplementation of L-carnitine improves fat loss. Similarly, L-tyrosine is a precursor of the stimulatory hormones noradrenaline and adrenaline, but since it is a non-essential amino acid (i.e. it can be produced in the body) there is no evidence that supplementation of it can improve performance. Dyma Burn also contains various other herbal supplements such as Ginseng, Willow bark, Yohimbe (a supplement predominantly used by those with erectile dysfunction), Garcinia extract and Bladderwrack, none of which are well supported by any research as a weight loss tool but in some cases may help to promote modest losses in fat.

Dyma Burn also contains its own substance known as Ephidrina, which contains Catechins (found in green tea), Salvia Sclarea Extract and Epigallocatechin Gallates (found in green tea). There is absoluetely no evidence that Salvia Sclarea influences weight loss and the other two substance found in Ephidrina are found in green tea, a supplement which is very well researched, and like most of the weight loss herbal supplement sin this product, has had contrasting results in the research, but may help promote modest losses in body fat.

Reflex Sida Cordifolia Complex combines a synergistic mix of Sida Cordifolia, Guarana and white willow bark. As a fat loss aid, Sida Cordifolia Complex slightly increases the body’s metabolic rate causing more calories to be burned throughout the day. A raised metabolism provides more energy and focus during workouts and exercise. Additionally, Sida Cordifolia has the ability to curb cravings and appetite. As part of a reduced calorie diet along with exercise, Sida Cordifolia can be a useful addition to the war on fat.

Many Sida Cordifolia supplements are just that – Sida Cordifolia – but this herb may work best alongside two other key ingredients, these being Guarana, a potent natural form of caffeine, and white willow bark which contains salicin (very similar to aspirin). These synergistic ingredients are thought to increase the effectiveness of Sida Cordifolia’s fat burning properties. Including these ingredients as well as Sida Cordifolia not only makes this a more effective fat loss aid but alleviates the need to purchase these supplements separately, saving money and effort.

The search for a fat loss formula that works can feel like an endless one. Whilst some are looking for the perfect supplement that will take all the hard work of diet and exercise out of the equation (no such thing exists), it’s perfectly reasonable to expect a decent fat loss that makes the process that bit easier. Lean Degree from PhD Nutrition fills this role perfectly, making your dieting and exercise efforts noticeably more effective.

Lean Degree features an advanced Thermo-System that combines several potent, effective ingredients that deliver a powerful yet safe (IOC tested) fat loss aid that can be used alongside a well executed exercise program and diet. Lean Degree supports fat loss efforts by slightly raising the body’s resting metabolic rate (RMR) by including ingredients with thermogenic properties such as caffeine and green tea. Loss of muscle can be a problem on calorie restricted diets and so PhD have included Phosphatidylserine which has been shown to reduce diet-induced stress – a direct factor in muscle loss.

All this adds up to an effective fat loss support that will make diets that much more effective and tolerable.

The potential benefits effects of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) on human health has been widely investigated and proven effective in weight management. Studies have shown that CLA can promote body re-composition, helping to increase lean muscle mass and reduce fat. PhD CLA contains high concentrations of the two active CLA isomers, c9 t11 and t10 c12, that have been identified as promoting fat loss.

In the overweight but non-obese, CLA has been found to reduce body fat mass and total body weight. CLA works by preventing fat deposits from being stored the fat cells. CLA appears to reduce the activity of  the lipoprotein, lipase, an enzyme that is necessary for fat cells to store fats in the bloodstream. The reduces the amount of fat stored which can lead to noticeable reductions in fat mass, and in conjunction with a muscle building workout routine, an increase in lean muscle mass.

CLA works particularly well in those trying to either lose weight without losing muscle, or trying to gain lean muscle mass while trying to minimise fat gain, in other words CLA is most useful in changing body mass composition.

As an added bonus, It’s been shown that long-term supplementation with CLA can increase lean body mass and improve weight loss in overweight people without any particular diet or exercise intervention. Few supplements can claim to positive long term effects such as these.

Sida Cordifolia is a naturally occurring herb that acts as a stimulant, providing more energy to the body increasing alertness, focus and stamina.
