Olympus Lifestyle (formally known as Olympus Labs) is back to doing what they do best: innovating. After months of silence and questions, the brand relaunched with a new name, a new look and new formulas. The one thing that did not change was their focus on innovation. In a past life, Olympus Lyfestyle formulated a product known as Bloodsh3d Black Magic Edition, which was our #1 rated fat burner thermogenic on the market. Due to the FDA’s view on DMHA, the brand did the right thing and discontinued the product. No questions asked.
This time around, Olympus Lyfestyle is staying clear of any ingredients that may end up on the FDA’s list. The brand is formulating products using 100% compliant ingredients at efficacious doses. That includes their new thermogenic powder Jump. Jump will feature some of the great ingredients used in the predecessor Bloodshr3d, but as we previously mentioned, it will be 100% compliant.
Jump from Olympus Lyfestyle is a powdered fat burner product that can be used as a fat burning pre-workout. In fact, that’s how we would recommend using it. On paper, Olympus Lyfestyle Jump is sure to creep up the review sites ranking list for a top rated fat burning powder.
When To Take Olympus Lyfestyle Jump?
Olympus Lyfestyle Jump is a powdered fat burner that can be used prior to exercise, intense activities or as a coffee or energy drink replacement. It is best used in a fasted state.
When using as a pre-workout, Jump should be taken approximately 30 minutes before exercise. You may take one or two scoops, but start with one to assess your tolerance.
Breaking Jump up into two servings per day would be a good replacement for coffee or energy drink users. You would get betting 150mg Caffeine per serving. Your traditional cup of coffee is 90mg while an energy drink may range from 150-300mg Caffeine.
If you’re going to use Jump prior to intense activities, we would recommend one serving 15-30 minutes prior to that activity.
Why Take Olympus Lyfestyle Jump?
Stubborn fat always seems to be the hardest to get rid of. If your diet and workout schedule is on-point, a powdered fat burner thermogenic may aid in helping you rid yourself of that extra stubborn fat. The way a thermogenic product works is by raising your body temperature to where your body is essentially burning fat for fuel. Others tend to like to use a powdered fat burner to help with appetite suppression. If you are someone who struggles with food consumption, Jump from Olympus Lyfestyle may aid in stabilizing your appetite.
Olympus Lyfestyle Jump will be sure to raise your body temperature to make you sweat more. Many users prefer to use a powdered thermogenic like Jump prior to cardio sessions as they are not extremely stimulant heavy allowing blood to flow while getting an increase in body temperature to cause perspiration.
If you are looking to increase body temperature, burn stubborn fat, suppress appetite or just need a mid-day pick-me-up, Olympus Lyfestyle Jump would be a product for you.
Olympus Lyfestyle Jump Label Breakdown
Olympus Lyfestyle Jump features an impressive label. The label is a 50/25 serving label. For the purposes of this section, we are going to focus on the 25-serving dosages. Many of the ingredients used in Jump were used in the #1 rated Bloodshr3d fat burner from Olympus (known as Olympus Labs at that time).
BCAAs – 2.5g
Olympus Lyfestyle Jump features Vegan Instaminos at a dosage of 2.5g. Jump uses the proven 2:1:1 BCAA ratio which is 1,250mg Leucine, 625mg Isoleucine and 625mg Valine. Having the 2:1:1 BCAA ratio in a fat burner aids in preserving muscle mass. When the majority of people go on a fat loss journey, they tend to also lose muscle mass with it due to changes in diet, exercise and even hormone levels. The addition of BCAAs helps the user maintain muscle mass through increased muscle protein synthesis and mTOR activation.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) – 1,000mg
Acetyl-L-Carnitine, also known as ALCAR, is the most effective form of Carnitine. Research shows that ALCAR aids in potential fat loss by transporting fatty acids to be burned off as fuel by the body. This increases your energy levels as well.
ALCAR can cross the blood-brain barrier, which makes ALCAR good for nootropic purposes. Not only are you going to experience an increase in energy, but improved focus may occur as well.
The accepted dosage of ALCAR is 630-2,500mg per day.
Taurine – 1g
Taurine is added at 1g. Taurine is typically found in pre-workouts as a strength enhancement ingredient and muscle recovery aid. Why do we find it here? First, this can double as your pre-workout with the caffeine and the stims, which we will talk about here shorty. Second, it aids in preserving muscle mass during the fat loss process. At 1g, this is a good dosage of Taurine.
Sophora Japonica – 400mg
Sophora Japonica, found in the Olympus Lyfestyle Labs version of Bloodshr3d is dosed at 400mg. Sophora Japonica contains Rutin. Rutin has been shown to increase AMPK activation, which helps glucose uptake and fat oxidation. There isn’t enough clinical evidence to suggest 400mg is the correct dosage, but there is also nothing that says it is not. Rutin may lead to a reduction in body weight and adipose tissue mass.
TeaCrine – 310mg (yielding 124mg)
TeaCrine is used at 310mg which yields 124mg of TeaCrine. TeaCrine is similar to Caffeine but it hits much later. Caffeine Anhydrous will be the first stimulant to hit, and approximately 30 minutes later TeaCrine will hit prolonging your energy and reducing the chance of crash. TeaCrine delivers energy, mental clarity, and improved motivation and mood. It does not increase heart rate or blood pressure and is not a stimulant.
Per Compound Solutions, the minimum dosage of TeaCrine should be 50mg with 100mg Caffeine Anhydrous.
KSM-66 Ashwagandha – 300mg
KSM-66 is the branded version of Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is an exceptional ingredient that may do several beneficial things for those who use it. First, Ashwagandha may alleviate stress levels. A reduction in stress levels will aid in cortisol regulation. Those who experience many stressors in life tend to store body fat more than those who don’t due to elevated cortisol levels. The second benefit of KSM-66 Ashwagandha is that it may increase natural testosterone levels. During the “cutting” phase of a plan, your body fat may drop to low levels thus causing an impact on your testosterone levels. Ashwagandha may aid in keeping your testosterone levels within in the normal, healthy rang. This may aid in helping preserve muscle mass.
KSM-66 should be dosed between 300-600mg per day for optimal results.
Caffeine Anhydrous – 300mg
Caffeine Anhydrous is the pure version of caffeine that will start to work within 15-30 minutes of ingestion. Caffeine Anhydrous stimulates your central nervous system to help provide an increase in energy levels and an increased sense of focus.
There is not an “accepted” dosage of Caffeine Anhydrous. This is a stimulant. However, too much of any one, or several stimulants, can be counter productive to your fitness goals as they start to constrict blood flow. The 300mg dosage of Caffeine Anhydrous in Levels is an adequate amount designed to give you that increase in energy and focus without compromising your pump
Raspberry Powder Extract – 250mg
Raspberry Powder Extract is used at 250mg. These are not Raspberry Keytones, but actual powder that are higher in antioxidants and may help control blood glucose levels. It may also aid in improving blood circulation.
Green Coffee Bean Extract – 250mg
Green Coffee Extract is used at 250mg. This contains 50% Chlorgenic Acid. Chlorgenic Acid has been shown to exert pivotal roles on glucose and lipid metabolism regulation, keys in weight loss and weight management. It has been shown that 120-300mg of Chlorgenic Acid per day may have benefits. We get 125mg in Olympus Lyfestyle Jump.
Dynamine – 260mg (yielding 104mg)
Dynamine is a natural energy supplement from Compound Solutions that may amplify feelings of energy, mood and focus by activating dopamine receptors and other key neurotransmitters, without raising heart rate or blood pressure. Dynamine is very similar to theacrine (aka TeaCrine) in how it works. The difference between Dynamine and TeaCrine is the effects of Dynamine spike approximately 30-minutes after ingestion. This is how it differs from Caffeine Anhydrous as well. Caffeine Anhydrous will hit first, followed by Dynamine.
Dynamine is not another form of DMAA or DMHA. If your expectation of Dynamine is to be similar to these two stimulants, you will be let down. Dynamine works well, but it is not as hard-hitting as DMAA or DHMA.
Studies indicate that 100mg of Dynamine with at least 100mg Caffeine works the best. We get 104mg of Dynamine in Levels.
Vanillin – 100mg
Vanillin is dosed 100mg and may primarily be in here due to its flavoring agent. There are some who suggest it may increase body temperature too. Vanillin may increase energy metabolism and induce lipolysis.
Olympus Lyfestyle Jump Final Takeaway
We like the fact that many of the same great ingredients used in our previously rated #1 fat burner Bloodshr3d are used here, but with a compliant formula. The use of Caffeine, Dynamine and TeaCrine should provide longstanding energy without a major crash. The addition of ALCAR is great for focus purposes but could aid in fat loss as well. The combination of the ingredients should help raise body temperate, make you sweat and suppress appetite. If this is anything like the thermogenics of the past from Olympus Lyfestyle, we are all in for a treat.
