Description
SHRED4 is formulated with 13 premium ingredients to deliver a Gold Standard timed-release thermogenic that delivers energy, mental focus and enhanced fat metabolism.
Caffeine Anhydrous
Caffeine supplementation increases the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain responsible for feelings of alertness and pleasure. Caffeine also boosts epinephrine, dopamine and serotonin, which increase fat loss and enhance power output. Many controlled studies in humans show that coffee improves various aspects of brain function including memory, mood, reaction times and general mental function.
Infinergy®
Infinergy is a precise combination of caffeine and malic acid fused together by an ionic bond. The malic acid in Infinergy works to buffer the salts in caffeine, allowing for easier digestion whilst also replenishing the energy produced by caffeine, which helps to prevent the dreaded post-caffeine energy ‘crash’.
Methylliberine
Methylliberine is a pure alkaloid that’s prevalent in things like coffee beans, tea leaves, and other naturally occurring substances many humans consume for energy. Methylliberine is known for increasing energy, which is why it’s a popular ingredient in a lot of pre-workout supplements. It also has significant metabolism- and cognitive-boosting benefits. It can help you to burn more calories and lean out faster while also improving your attention during your toughest training sessions. Thanks to the fact that it blocks adenosine from binding to its receptors, Methylliberine does a great job of combatting fatigue and helping you feel energized before and during your training sessions. Methylliberine won’t just increase your energy levels. It will provide a nootropic effect that boosts your cognition and helps you to get (and stay) in the zone at the same time. Don’t forget that Methylliberine also inhibits dopamine reuptake. This, in turn, can help to elevate your mood. In addition to helping you push yourself farther so you can burn more calories, Methylliberine has other metabolism-boosting benefits. Methylliberine can increase your oxygen uptake during and after your workout. This, in turn, can lead to an increase in calorie and fat-burning throughout the day, which can help you see results from your workouts and dieting efforts sooner.
Theacrine
Theacrine is a small alkaloid molecule with a structurally modified version of caffeine. The mechanisms of Theacrine parallel that of caffeine for the most part, however the key difference that sets it apart is that Theacrine doesn’t cause the body to build a tolerance to its effects. Meaning, it will feel like the first time taking Theacrine, every time. The key benefits of Theacrine include enhanced, jitter-free and sustained energy, positive mood elevation and mental clarity.
Halostachine
Halostachine is related to ephedrine, synephrine and phenylethanolamine (PEA) and behaves as a beta adrenergic agonist, making it effective for those looking to burn more fat and lose weight. Furthermore, since halostachine is a metabolite of PEA, it provides similar fast-acting energy and “feel-good” effects as its better-known relative. As a beta receptor agonist, halostachine can stimulate the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, which helps to increase alertness, focus, and energy as well as induce lipolysis -- the breakdown and release of fatty acids.
L-Theanine
L-Theanine supplementation causes the release of the brain neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA boosts mood and mental focus. L-theanine is associated with improvements in mood and cognition, and a reduction of stress and anxiety-like symptoms.
Paradoxine®
Daily ingestion of grains of paradise extract is clinically proven to increase whole-body energy expenditure and decreases visceral fat in humans.
Zinjaburn® Dehydrozingerone
ZinjaBurn is a patented form of dehydrozingerone (DHZ). A close analogue of curcumin, DHZ is the most powerful bioactive constituent of turmeric. ZinjaBurn has several health promoting properties ability to boost your metabolism, regulate blood glucose levels and assist in weight management.
Bitter Orange Extract
Synephrine is a naturally occurring alkaloid found in the Bitter Orange plant. Synephrine’s molecular structure is very similar to ephedrine. Synephrine functions as an alpha-androgenic antagonist just like ephedrine does, but it is much milder on the central nervous system and does not cause the same negative side effects that ephedrine supplementation can cause. Synephrine binds to receptors in fat tissue and increases lipolysis and thermogenesis. Clinical studies have backed up synephrine’s positive impact on fat burning and weight loss. Synephrine also stimulates glucose uptake by skeletal muscle. This improves fat burning by removing excess glucose from the bloodstream and provides muscles with more glucose that can be used for energy. More intramuscular glucose also leads to greater muscle strength and endurance.
Evodiamine
Evodiamine is a naturally occurring bioactive alkaloid that increases body temperature and helps your body burn more calories and ultimately lose weight. Evodiamine not only helps your body burn more calories, it also may prevent your body from creating new fat cells. Research has shown that evodiamine decreases preadipocyte differentiation. One of the most interesting things about evodiamine is that it can affect how your body metabolizes certain compounds, such as caffeine. More specifically, evodiamine reduces the exposure of caffeine to the body which means it suppresses circulating levels of the stimulant and helps smooth out the stimulant effects of caffeine. Essentially, you get the energy and focus of caffeine, without the jitters or overstimulated feeling.
Bioperine
Bioperine is a patented black pepper extract that contains the active compound piperine. BioPerine is used to enhance absorption rates of ingredients.
Huperzine A
Huperzine A is extracted from the Chinese club moss plant (Huperzia serrata) and is used to sharpen memory and improve concentration. Huperzine A functions as a cholinesterase inhibitor. It prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine, a chemical essential to learning and memory. Huperzine A provides a natural boost in energy alert fullness, without the use of stimulants.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin plays a major role in a number of the body’s essential functions, including DNA synthesis and the formation of red blood cells. It also helps the body convert fats and proteins into energy and aids in the breakdown of carbohydrates. Methylcobalamin is often associated with weight loss because of its ability to boost metabolism and provide energy.
