Burn is loaded with ingredients touted to enhance thermogenesis, which serves as a highly valuable tool for weight loss.

Notable changes to Burn's formula include: 

1. 10 additional servings
2. 1,000mg L-Tyrosine (up from 500mg in previous Burn Formula)
3. 500mg MitoBurn (new ingredient)

Let's take a deeper look into the brand new GHOST Burn formula, shall we?

GHOST Burn V3 Supplement Facts

Disclaimer: This is based upon the 30 serving, 10g scoop size

GHOST Carnitine 3,000mg

GHOST Carnitine is comprised of equal parts Acetyl-L-Carnitine and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate. L-Carnitine is an amino acid produced in the body which poses a variety of health benefits, but has found itself commonly included in fat burners as it plays an essential role in energy production. Carnitine acts as a cofactor to help transport fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells where they are oxidized to produce ATP; our cellular form of energy. This increase in lipid oxidation supports increases in lean muscle mass and healthy weight levels. It also promotes cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological health by the following:

1. reduces blood pressure
2. reduces triglycerides
3. reduces LDL (bad cholesterol)
4. increases HDL (good cholesterol)
5. reduces markers for oxidative stress

The addition of an acetyl group makes Acetyl-L-Carnitine much more bioavailable; meaning it can more readily cross the blood-brain barrier and is effective at smaller doses when compared to other forms of carnitine. It's often used for prevention of many neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. It also plays a role in cardiovascular health and has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce triglycerides, and reduce inflammation. 

Choline Bitartrate 1,000mg

GHOST Burn manages to pack 1.000mg Choline Bitartrate. Choline plays a role in the metabolism of fat, as it breaks down fat to be utilized as energy. Choline Bitartrate is effective for increasing systemic choline levels throughout the body. Since choline acts as a methyl donor, this tremendously benefits the liver, where choline pathways are most active. Choline is essential for maintaining proper liver function; when deprived of methyl donors, the liver becomes inefficient and fatty. Choline prevents conditions such as fatty liver or excess fat within the bloodstream. In addition, choline also is linked to greater levels of satiety, or the feeling of fullness. This mechanism can aid in weight loss through decreased consumption of calories.

L-Tyrosine 1,000mg

GHOST Burn also features a clinical dose of L-Tyrosine at 1,000mg; this is double the amount from the previous Burn formula, which featured 500mg. L-Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline. Dopamine plays a significant role in mood and motivation. While research correlating L-Tyrosine to weight loss is limited, it is theorized that through its dopamine-enhancing activity, L-Tyrosine supplementation may make easier to stick to a healthy diet regimen. Additionally, L-Tyrosine has a slight stimulatory effect, which may suppress appetite. There is limited research suggesting that when paired with caffeine, L-Tyrosine helps improve body composition in overweight subjects to a minimal extent.

Ashawaganda KSM-66 600mg

Ashawaganda is an adaptogenic herb known as Indian Ginseng that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to reduce stress and anxiety. Ashawaganda is rich in many bioactive compounds. Its benefits are often attributed to its withanolide content; compounds that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and display hormone regulating properties. KSM-66 is the most researched strain of Ashawaganda, and studies suggest it reduces levels of our stress hormone, cortisol. As chronic stress has been associated with weight gain, reducing cortisol levels proves to be a beneficial mechanism for weight management.

MitoBurn 500mg

The new GHOST formula features a clinical dose of MitoBurn at 500mg. MitoBurn, or L-BAIBA, is both an amino acid and metabolite of L-Valine that's produced from muscles during intense bouts of exercise. Because of this, it is coined as an "exercising factor." It has a unique mechanism of action, as it aids in the "browning" of white adipose tissue- or unwanted fat. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is highly thermogenic and increases:

1. metabolic rate 
2. fat oxidation

This increase in thermogenesis helps to create a calorie deficit, which is the key component driving weight loss. MitoBurn also plays a role in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, which are both factors in weight management as well.

Natural Caffeine 300mg

Caffeine is one of the most most popular supplements on the planet. This central nervous stimulant is well known throughout the industry and poses a plethora of benefits:

• enhances energy
• increases focus
• promotes thermogenesis

The benefits of caffeine are backed my many studies, and for good reason. In GHOST's revamped Burn formula, they made the switch from caffeine anhydrous to natural caffeine. Natural caffeine has a slower release and gentler onset when compared to caffeine anhydrous. Natural caffeine is also richer in antioxidants and polyphenols, which pose several overall health benefits.

CapsiAtra 130mg

The newbie to the block, CapsiAtra, has landed itself a spot in Burn's revamped thermogenic formula. CapsiAtra is a patented ingredient developed by Glanbia Nutritionals and comprised of synthetic dihydrocapsiate, which is similar to capsaicin. The benefits of CapsiAtra are attributed to its rich capsaicinoid content; capsaicinoids are responsible for the feeling of heat experienced when you eat spicy food.

CapsiAtra is touted to:

• enhance fat oxidation
• reduce abdominal fat
• increase energy expenditure
• reduce age related decrease in energy expenditure

In a meta-analysis composed of nine clinical studies, capsaicin supplementation was found to increase total daily energy expenditure by around 70kcal per day in men with a BMI greater than 25 kg/m², but not in those whose BMI was less than 25 kg/m². Furthermore, another meta-analysis conducted between 1990 and 2019 concluded that capsaicin supplementation may mildly increase resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure due to a rise in fat oxidation. 

It is well known that capsaicinoids are quite spicy in nature; CapsiAtra provides the benefits attributed to capsaicinoids, yet with significantly less burning sensation when compared to similar ingredients on the market.

Cocoa Bean Extract 100mg

GHOST Burn opted to include Cocoa Bean Extract Dosed at 100mg. One study concluded that the consumption of 80mg cocoa bean extract over a course of 4 weeks in obese subjects with metabolic syndrome showed a reduction in body weight, waist circumference, sugar levels, and triglycerides.

NeuroFactor 100mg

GHOST Burn also features a clinical dose of NeuroFactor, which has been shown to increase BDNF levels. BDNF serves as a neuromodulator that plays a role in neuronal plasticity, which is essential for both memory and learning. Studies conclude that BDNF enhances neuronal growth and also modulates dendritic growth. To stack on to that, BDNF also plays a role in overall health by protecting the heart and vasculature from disease processes along with aiding in prevention of neurological diseases. 

Bitter Orange 60mg

To round out GHOST Burn's thermogenic complex, this formula features Bitter Orange Extract dosed at 60mg. Bitter orange, or synephrine, is a thermogenic ingredient that is typically used in fat burning products to enhance the oxidation of fat. However, evidence is a bit mixed when it comes to Bitter Orange and fat loss. A meta-analyses comprised of entirely placebo-controlled, human clinical trials reported that synephrine supplementation had no significant fat loss-weight loss properties and did not improve body composition. Overall, synephrine for weight management would benefit from further studies.
