Fat Burners

Before we dive into the science behind the ingredients used in fat burners, it’s important to understand that whilst some fat burners do work, this is only in conjunction with a calorie reduced diet and regular exercise.

Fat burners can certainly accelerate the results and make fat loss easier, the results will only follow if you put in the work. Often people look for a fat burner when they are wanting to lose fat around certain parts of their body, such as the stubborn belly fat and may start to wonder what the best fat burner for belly fat is.

The truth is, you cannot spot reduce fat from specific parts of your body. However, eating less calories than what you are burning and incorporating a range of cardio and resistance training into your routine will help you lose body fat, eventually even in those hard to lose areas.

This is also when a supplement such as OxyShred can also be of great benefit. It has been formulated using scientifically researched ingredients to promote fat burning, even in the most stubborn and hard to lose areas. So, if you’ve ever asked yourself “do fat burners actually work?” the answer is yes, but only if you do too!

Fat burners contain specific ingredients such as caffeine, green coffee bean extract or garcinia cambogia which may increase the metabolism and promote fat burning. Oxyshred is a scientifically researched shredding formula containing proven ingredients that work synergistically to help promote fat loss.

Green Coffee bean extract has been heavily researched and scientifically validated to reduce body weight and BMI.

Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) have shown to reduce fat inhibition and reduce fat tissues.

Garcinia Cambogia may have potential benefits in reducing abdominal fat and preventing the accumulation of visceral fat.

Additional ingredients have also been added into Oxyshred for benefits beyond fat burning!

Full spectrum of B-vitamins promote and support energy levels, help the body use macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat and protein) for fuel and also play an important role in brain function and DNA production.

Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions. Supplementation has shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of systemic infections.

L-Glutamine is an amino acid which has potential benefits of strengthening the immune system by inhibiting inflammatory responses. Findings suggest that L-glutamine supplementation may shorten the severity and length of flu-like infection. Additionally, it may work to promote the release of natural human growth hormone and assist with lean muscle growth.

Huperzine A is found to significantly improve muscle contractions induced by nerve stimulation, leading to increased strength and performance. 

It’s not recommended to stack a pre-workout such as PRIDE with OxyShred or Hardcore due to the caffeine content. However, if you are still wanting extra shredding potential while still using PRIDE as your pre-workout you could stack OxyShred Non-Stim with a pre-workout.

No. In fact, the opposite can be said as some fat burners can suppress your appetite and reduce feelings of hunger, making it much easier to stick to your diet and achieve the most optimal fat loss results. This can work in a number of ways.

OxyShred for instance, contains chromium picolinate which has been added for its potential benefits in balancing blood sugar levels and reducing insulin resistance. Blood sugar levels impact energy, concentration, ability to lose weight, performance, and an imbalance can lead to rapid mood swings and increased cravings. Chromium is lacking in most people’s diets and chromium levels decrease with age.

Therefore, supplementation can be of great benefit.

A fat burner is still effective and recommended to take daily as it will still have the same fat burning effects which it would on days when you do work out.

Overall, consistency in nutrition, training and supplementation is what will help you achieve the most optimal fat loss results. The combination of L-Tyrosine, Taurine have been shown to provide a mood enhancing effect due to their role with dopamine and antagonist effects on serotonin.

By also including Caffeine and L-Theanine, this helps to provide optimal central nervous system and adrenal gland stimulation to trigger a positive homeostatic energy release, which can also help improve cognitive ability. Outside the gym environment, taking a fat burner such as OxyShred may help improve focus and performance in the workplace, particularly to combat the afternoon slump.

This unique combination of stimulants and nootropics will also ensure there is no post-peak crash or loss of focus.

There is no specific fat burner that will target belly fat as you cannot naturally “spot reduce” certain parts of your body. Keeping consistent with training, maintaining a well balanced calorie reduced diet as well as including a safe and effective supplement into your regular routine will help you reduce belly fat over time. 

Women experience stronger cravings than men, with recent studies showing that women reported 15.6% more food cravings episodes than men. This means that reducing cravings is an important central function of a fat burner for women. Women also have different caffeine tolerances to men and their bodies can respond differently to the effects of stimulants.

For this reason, OxyShred Non-Stim has been formulated specifically for those with a stimulant or caffeine sensitivity, unlike the majority of fat burners on the market. Making it a great safe and effective fat burner for all!

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a fatty acid found in meat and dairy that is believed to have various health benefits.

Some studies indicate that CLA can cause significant fat loss and may improve body composition by reducing fat inhibition and increasing metabolic rate. OxyShred is one of the advanced fat burners on the market, containing Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).

OxyShred works synergistically with Acetyl L-Carnitine to ensure your fat receptor cells are triggered to enhance the fat breakdown process through transportation of mobilised fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cell to be burnt off as energy. 

Any supplement taken in excess of its recommended intake can be bad for you, the same goes for fat burners. OxyShred is one of natural fat burners, which has been developed and tested for safe use without any adverse health outcomes when taken within its recommended guidelines. 

Depending on the ingredients used in a fat burner, some may interfere with thyroid functions, particularly for those who take medications for their thyroid. However, none of the ingredients in OxyShred have shown to cause thyroid problems. As always, it is recommended that you seek advice from your health professional if you are on any regular medications and have concerns about which supplements are safe for you to use. 

The instructions should always be listed on the back of the product. OxyShred for instance, is best consumed first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Specific ingredients used may help to slow down calorie absorption, lower insulin levels and kick start your metabolism for the day. Decreasing insulin levels allows the body to reduce fat storage and calorie absorption while curbing any sugar cravings.

The ingredients that play leading roles in reducing calorie absorption are: Green coffee bean extract and grapefruit seed extract. In addition, Acetyl L-Carnitine works with your mitochondria (core of muscle fibre cells) to help metabolise fat in your body. In other words, it helps to convert fat cells into energy.

Some fat burners aren't regulated and contain questionable ingredients. For this reason, it’s important to do your research, read reviews and buy a fat burner from a trusted supplement store, such as EHPlabs. All EHPlabs products are researched, formulated and carefully manufactured to ensure that they deliver results and are safe to use.  

Although there is no rule about when you should start and stop taking fat burners, you need to listen to your body. If you feel like you need to take a break or aren’t feeling the same energy boosting benefits from long term use, then you should take a rest. With OxyShred, we recommend taking a break each time you finish a tub.

Most fat burners, including OxyShred, contain caffeine. For products containing caffeine you should take a 1 week break after consuming the product for a consecutive 4 week period. With OxyShred, we recommend taking a 1 week break each time you finish a tub. During this week off, you can always use a non-stim fat burner such as Oxyshred Non-Stim or OxySleep. 

The speed at which you see results will be highly dependent on your diet and exercise routine. If you’re making positive changes to your lifestyle, fat burning supplements can provide you with extra help, but you will still need to put in the hard work. Most people can expect to see results within a month when supplementing with a fat burner such as OxyShred.
