Cellucor Super Shred: A Strong Fat Burner For Results

Innovation is a word that is tossed around a lot in the sports nutrition space. There are big companies who venture away from it, while some of the upstart companies are looking to shift the landscape by focusing all their efforts on it. Cellucor has done a great job of balancing the two, and more recently went back to innovation as a center focal point of the brand.

The new product portfolio from Cellucor includes Super Shred, a stimulant based fat burner using new ingredients to the brand, and plenty of newer ingredients not seen much in the category.

Cellucor Super Shred Supplement Facts Panel

Fat burners come in many different formulas. Some utilize stimulants. Some don’t. Cellucor has offerings for both, with their Super Shred being the stimulant based fat burner capsule formulated for aggressive fat loss. Featuring unique ingredients at optimal dosages, Super Shred from Cellucor offers a lot of promise.

Chromax – 200mcg

Chromax, not listed in the actives, is Chromium from Nutrition 21. This is a very good ingredient that should be added to any fat burning product. Chromax is the most clinically tested form of Chromium Picolinate with the best bioavailability compared to generic forms.

Chromax aids in insulin function. By aiding insulin activity in the body it can help lead to healthier blood sugar levels, better carbohydrate utilization and reduced caloric intake.

Cardiose (Hesperidin) – 500mg

Cardiose is from HealthTech BioActives and is an ingredient we have not seen a lot of (yet) but the giant in Cellucor is putting it in here at 500mg. Cardiose comes from the orange fruit and it is standardized to Hesperidin. Studies of users at 500mg of Cardiose showed a major improvement in athletic performance. This study also showed an increase in VO2 Max and peak power. The thought is increased performance leads to more fat loss. The 500mg dosage was the clinically studied dosage.

Advantra Z Bitter Orange – 250mg

Advantra Z Bitter Orange is from Innphos. It is a form of Synepherine. This yields 10% Synepherine. Synephrine is a beta-adrenergic agonist that increases metabolic rate and promotes lipolysis (the breakdown of fats). Synephrine can enhance fat burning, increase energy expenditure, and potentially suppress appetite.

This is going to yield 25mg Synepherine which is sufficient for thermogenic effects.

Caffeine Anhydrous – 200mg

The 200mg dosage of caffeine anhydrous is a great dosage in a capsule based fat burner. With the other actives in this product we can consider this a higher stimulant fat burner even at 200mg. Caffeine anhydrous is the fast acting caffeine that takes effect within 15 minutes. This will stimulate your CNS (central nervous system) and aid in metabolism and energy expenditure.

Coleus Forskohlii – 100mg

Coleus Forskohlii is standardized to 19% Forskolin. Forskolin has been shown to increase cAMP levels. Elevated cAMP levels can stimulate lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) and increase the production of hormones that help regulate metabolism. Forskolin enhances fat burning by promoting the breakdown of stored fats and supporting the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue.

The 19mg active dosage is fine.

Guarana Seed Extract – 100mg

Guarana Seed Extract contains caffeine. In this case it contains 22mg. Some studies suggest that Guarana Seed Extract is 4-6x the amount of caffeine as coffee beans. It may help with weight loss by boosting metabolism and promoting fat burning.

Guarana Seed Extract also contains theobromine which can help with thermogenesis.

Overall this ingredient can boost alertness and energy.

Oligonol Lychee Fruit and Green Tea Extract – 50mg

Oligonol is a proprietary blend of lychee fruit and green tea extracts, known for its low molecular weight, which enhances its absorption and efficacy in the body. It contains a type of polyphenol found in green tea, known for its antioxidant properties and benefits in weight management and cardiovascular health.

Oligonol may boost fat oxidation and metabolism. It can also enhance endurance and reduce fatigue by improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles.

A common dosage is 50-100mg a day.

Yohimbine Bark Extract – 30mg

The Yohimbine Bark Extract used here is standardized to 10% Yohimbine. This means this yields 3mg of Yohimbine, our preferred amount. Yohimbine is a stronger stimulant that can boost fat oxidation and metabolism but also increase thermogenesis. This is a common ingredient used in stim-based fat burners due to its impressive impact on potential fat loss and energy boosting effects.

The yield of 3mg is sufficient.

Cayenne Fruit Extract – 20mg

Cayenne Fruit Extract has several fat loss benefits. The first is that it improves thermogenesis. This means that using Cayenne Fruit Extract you will notice an increase in body temperature (thermogenesis) and can actually feel it in your gut. This can aid in weight loss by burning more calories.

Cayenne Fruit Extract can aid in fat oxidization. This may make it easier to lose body fat.

Cayenne Fruit Extract may help improve digestion and digestive health. Cayenne stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, aiding in better digestion and nutrient absorption.

This new stimulant based fat burner in Super Shred from Cellucor can be considered higher stim due to the use of Caffeine, Yohimbine and Guarana. Using this for fasted cardio would most likely aid in energy expenditure and calories burned above the baseline. Even when not fasted this formula is designed to help the body improve alertness, energy and metabolism.
