NutraBio ThermoFuel V9 For Men Fat Burner First Look:

I have recently reviewed the female version of this fat burner and it scored quite well. There were some good solid ingredients available but a couple that may not react well when combned with each other and thus the score was lowered.

It is important to note that there were also some other well regarded ingredients missing that we would normally expect from an effective fat burner.

Let’s see what makes this different because from where I am standing there’s nothing between them.

Ingredients:

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) – Epidemiological studies have indicated that pronounced cardiovascular and metabolic health benefits can be obtained by regular consumption of 5-6 or more cups of green tea per day. Furthermore, intervention studies using similar amounts of green tea, containing 200-300 mg of EGCG, have demonstrated its usefulness for maintaining cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Caffeine – Caffeine intake is associated with weight loss through thermogenesis and fat oxidation.

Green Tea – well known to have many powerful health benefits. Clinical studies suggest that green tea extract may boost metabolism and help burn fat. One study found that the combination of green tea and caffeine improved weight loss and maintenance in people who were overweight and moderately obese. Some researchers think that substances in green tea known as catechins are responsible for the herb’s fat-burning effect.

L-carnitine – Acetyl-L-carnitine helps the body produce energy. It is important for heart and brain function, muscle movement, and many other body processes. It is a very popular supplement and widely proven to be active drugs for the therapy of symptoms associated with male aging. Any fat loss tends to be associated with the extra energy provided by this compound which in turn increases exercise. However, any other real fat reduction seems to be limited to elderly people. Although L-carnitine has been marketed as a weight loss supplement, scientific evidence is lacking.

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine – Tyrosine is taken for depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the inability to stay awake (narcolepsy), and improving alertness following sleep deprivation. It is also used for stress, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS).

Capsicum – Capsaicin is known to boost metabolism, causing the body to produce extra heat and burn more calories for fuel. This is found in our favorite fat burner Instant Knockout.

Bitter Orange (Citrus Aurantium) – At present, Citrus aurantium may be the best thermogenic substitute for ephedra. However, more studies are needed to establish this definitively.

Bitter orange is possibly unsafe when taken as a supplement for a medical purpose such as weight loss. Bitter orange, particularly when taken with stimulants such as caffeine or caffeine-containing herbs, increases the risk for high blood pressure, fainting, heart attack, stroke, and other severe side effects.
There are reports that bitter orange can trigger headaches, including migraine and cluster headaches, in some people.

Bitter orange can cause sensitivity to the sun. Wear sunblock outside, especially if you are light-skinned.

Theobromine – Theobromine can reduce sleepiness and in large quantities produces a jittery sensation.

Banaba (Lagerstroemia) – Not a great deal of research on this, however, it does seem to inhibit absorption of carbohydrates.

Dose:

There’s a 3 pill twice a day dose as per the instructions with this fat burner from NutraBio. We are served a very well respected 4540mg of ingredients per day.

A dose of pills spread out evenly throughout the day is recommended to ensure a steady trickle of nutrients for your body to work with and is found with the best fat burners on the market.

Effects:

As with the fat burner focused on the female market this offers 4 and possibly 5 effective ingredients available.

It is good to see cayenne peppers and caffeine as found with the best fat burner on the market today is replicated here as well.

There is also an appropriate amount of EGCG to be effective, on too many occasions vital ingredients are incorrectly dosed and just present as a tick box exercise.

Almost all of the other ingredients have also been increased in dose meaning this will be more effective and offer more benefits than its sister product.

With this larger daily dose which is especially ‘formulated’ for men this supplement will be effective to a degree and help with weight loss goals. It will also work just fine for women too.

Negatives:

However, it ain’t all roses and strolling off in to the sunset, no sir.

Theobromine can cause jitters which would be multiplied with the caffeine.

Caffeine can also cause problems with Citrus Aurantium as there are risks of some pretty horrendous side effects.

While there are positive signs from L-Carnitine and Banaba exhaustive scientific research is lacking somewhat.

NutraBio ThermoFuel V9 For Men Fat Burner Conclusion:

Due to the men’s formula offering larger doses this will be more effective than the product offered for women.

Like its sister product there’s a good number of proven ingredients present, a few others that while not entirely conclusive appear to be positive additions.

However, there’s also a couple of ingredients that may not react well when ingested together and this may cause unwanted side effects for some people. This too is common of its sister fat burner.

However, what differs is that the other excellent ingredients are properly dosed which brings it up to the required standard for an effective fat burner.

Strangely there’s still a nootropic element included too for no apparent reason.

But, as before there are Ingredients such as B12, B6, Zinc, Green Coffee and Glucomman to name a few should be present in any good fat burning supplement yet are omitted from this.

So, we are left with a product that has some great ingredients dosed satisfactorily, but it omits too many others to offer a full rounded product that will yield the best results.

What’s the difference between this and the female variety? Well this is properly dosed and costs about $2 extra. So this is the better option of the two regardless of gender.

Is it worth the extra $2? Not really, spend a bit more cash and get something that is actually a well rounded and effective product.

So its better, but not the best.
