Let’s face it, we all have a later of unwanted body fat we desperately want to get rid of, right? The Genius Brand, one of the most reputable brands on the planet, knows this too, and they want to help you rid that body fat by leverage all-natural ingredients and science. This is what The Genius Brand does. They find a need, and they create an all-natural solution using high quality ingredients.
The issue with most over-the-counter fat burners are that they use subpar ingredients or underdose the product so badly that you will never be able to achieve the results you are look for. On the flip side of that, there are over-the-counter fat burners that are borderline pharmaceutical drugs with their high stims and grey area ingredients. You won’t have to worry about any grey area ingredients being used in any of The Genius Brand supplement, and not in Genius Burn.
It is important, now more than ever, that you put your trust, and your dollars into a company that is going to do things the right way. The Genius Brand has shown since their first days in business to put the consumer first. Genius Burn is just another example of a product where they really do put the consumer first.
The Genius Brand Genius Burn should accomplish four things for you:
- Increased fat burner
- Reduction of mental fatigue
- Thyroid support
- Blood sugar control
How it does those three things is a combination of carefully selected ingredients at solid dosage. Let’s dive into it.
KSM-66 Ashwaganda – 300mg
KSM-66 is a branded form of Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha has become an increasingly popular ingredient in fat burners for several reasons. The first reason is Ashwagandha can increase ATP therefore increasing your body’s energy. This in turn will help speed up metabolism.
The second reason, and probably more popular, is Ashwagandha’s ability to raise natural testosterone levels. When you are on a “cutting” plan, your body can get below an ideal body fat percentage, which can impact testosterone levels. Studies have shown that Ashwagandha can help increase natural test levels. While using Ashwagandha in a fat burner, you are aiding the consumer into maintaining natural and healthy testosterone levels.
The third reason, and the most important reason for using Ashwagandha in a fat burner is its ability to reduce stress and anxiety which directly impacts your cortisol levels in a positive way. Studies indicate that you can get elevated cortisol levels from high amounts of stress and anxiety. High cortisol levels can lead to slower metabolism and more fat storage. Supplementing with Ashwagandha has been proven to reduce cortisol levels. Reduction of cortisol levels also leads to elevated mood and better sleep. Good sleep can also aid in fat loss.
The study that showed Ashwagandha successfully reduced stress and anxiety supplemented with 300mg per day. We like to see 300mg-600mg per day and we get that with Genius Burn.
Cognizin – 200mg
Cognizin is a branded version of Citicoline. Citicoline is traditionally used for its cognitive boosting abilities. Studies have shown that supplementing with Citicoline can lead to improved attention and can improve memory in aging humans. It makes sense to see Cognizin in Burn since it is both a “fat burner” and a cognitive enhancing supplement.
Another feature of Cognizin not talked about much is the ability of Cognizin to suppress appetite. In one study, Cognizin was given over the course of six weeks and researchers measured appetite, weight and cortico-limbic responses to images of high-calorie foods using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The results showed that supplementing with Cognizin did not lead to weight loss, but it lead to declines in appetite ratings.
The studies ranged from 250mg to 2,000mg. We are dosed at 200mg and can say that it will aid in cognitive enhancement.
TeaCrine – 100mg
Instead of caffeine, The Genius Brand elected to use TeaCrine, a patent version of Theacrine from Compound Solutions. Studies have shown that supplementing with Theacrine (or TeaCrine) can lead to elevated mood, energy and focus. An elevation in mood is a reduction in stress, which, like Ashwagandha, can directly impact cortisol levels. The increase in energy aids the body in speeding up metabolism to burn more calories as fuel. The more calories you can burn, the more weight you can lose.
Keep in mind that Genius Burn is also a cognitive enhancing product, not just a fat burner. Supplementing with TeaCrine does improve your cognitive abilities along with speeding up your metabolism.
TeaCrine does take longer than Caffeine to kick in, but the energy is long lasting and smooth without the jitters. This is a benefit of TeaCrine over various other stimulants brands use in a fat burning supplement.
We typically see TeaCrine dosed up to 100mg, so we are properly dosed on TeaCrine.
Paradoxine – 50mg
Paradoxine aka Grains of Paradise is used in many fat burners. Research suggests that Grains of Paradise can aid in fat loss by increasing whole-body expenditure. This study was conducted on actual humans and not rodents.
Grains of Paradise contains several compounds in them, two of them being 6-paradol and 6-gingerol. They have been shown to activate Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) along with having other benefits. Paradoxine has been found to help convert White Adipose Tissue (WAT) which is responsible for storing the excess energy consumed through our diet, into BAT, the tissue used for cold and diet-induced thermogenesis which plays a role in the body’s energy expenditure as well as body fat content. By converting WAT to BAT, your body will burn this off by increasing your body temperature.
It is recommended that you start out at 30mg per day. Once you access your tolerance, you can increase the dosage to 80mg.
Capsimax – 25mg
Capsimax is essentially cayenne pepper. It is responsible for raising body temperature and literally “melting’ fat. Studies have shown with humans, when supplementing with Capsimax, participants showed significant increases in free fatty acids and glycerol in their blood post-ingestion and after exercise—an indicator of fat breakdown.
In another study, humans supplemented with Capsimax, raspberry ketone, caffeine, garlic, ginger and citrus aurantium or a placebo. After 8-weeks, the Capsimax group had lost more weight, more body fat and more waist and hip girth than the placebo group. The group also had gained lean body mass.
In a third, unpublished studies, humans were asked to exercise on treadmills on two separate occasions. On one occasion, the subjects took Capsimax Plus before exercise, and on the second occasion, they took a placebo. When supplementing with Capsimax, the participants burned more calories before, during and after exercise.
Studies have indicated dosage amounts of 100mg for effectiveness.
GS4 Plus Gymnema Sylvestre – 100mg
GS4 is an interesting ingredient that is used in many of the Glucose Disposal Agents on the market today. We are starting to see more and more of it in the fat burner as well. GS4 is the branded version of Gymnema Sylvestre. Gymnema Sylvestre has been shown to aid in metabolizing and regulating your blood glucose levels. Being able to reduce blood sugar levels, or control them, will lead to your body using glucose as fuel from the glycogen stores. When your glycogen stores are full, and there is excess glucose in the blood, it can be stored as fat. Regulation of blood sugar will reduce the risk of glucose being stored as fat. GS4 has also been shown to help Metabolic Syndrome (MS). A study was conducted where a group consumed a High Fructose Diet. Supplementation with gymnemic acid improved parameters of glucose-insulin.
In another study with rats, Gymnema Sylvestre was shown to have an anti-obesity effect.
Studies have had this dosed as low as 400mg to be effective.
L-Theanine – 100mg
L-Theanine is used to help alleviate stress and anxiety as well as elevate mood. Studies have shown at just 50mg, L-Theanine can significantly increase activity in the alpha frequency band which indicates that it relaxes the mind without inducing drowsiness. This can all relate back to cortisol levels. The more relaxed the human mind, the less stress and anxiety it experiences thus reducing cortisol levels.
This same study indicates that Theanine does increase mental sharpness. The study indicated, “these data indicate that L-Theanine, at realistic dietary levels, has a significant effect on the general state of mental alertness or arousal.” As we talk about Genius Burn being a cognitive enhancing supplement as well as a fat burner, it is important to keep this in mind.
The typical dosage of L-Theanine is 100mg.
AstraGin – 25mg
AstraGin is used for absorption purposes. By using AstraGin in the Genius Burn, it ensures that the most important ingredients are absorbed into the body to be used as intended and not secreted through the urinary tract.
In multiple pre-clinical and in-vivo studies, AstraGin has demonstrated it may help support the absorption of many amino acids and peptides, fatty acids, vitamin and phyto nutrients, gut lining health (epithelial cell) and under layer (lamina propria) damaged by inflammation.
We typically see this dosed at 25-50mg.
Huperzine A – 50mcg
Huperzine A is an ingredient known for its cognitive boosting abilities. Huperzine A may inhibit an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. More acetylcholine in the brain may increase focus and improve memory.
The most promising studies for Huperzine A have come from Alzheimer’s patients, and although more studies need to be done, it has certainly proven itself to be a potential force on that front for improved memory and brain function.
Another study has shown that Huperzine A may be beneficial for memory retention. While the study was done on adolescents, at 100mcg it proved to be effective. While not on athletes, it at least shows that the benefits of Huperzine A are not simply limited to people suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The typical dosage of Huperzine A is 50mcg-200mcg.
Final Takeaway
Genius Burn is not just a fat burner, although the name may suggest otherwise. Ingredients are used to increase body temperature (thermogenesis), improved weight loss and enhanced cognitive function. Not only will Genius Burn aid in getting rid of that unwanted body fat, it will also help elevate your mood, relax you and improve your focus.
The Genius Brand Genius Burn uses proven ingredients that are backed by multiple human, not rodent, studies. This is promising in this space where most of the research is not done on humans. Overall, the dosages are consistent where they need to be. Genius Burn uses eight branded ingredients backed by science, and these ingredients are not cheap.
