Infinite Labs Elevate Series Final Cutz Fat Burner Review

First Look

This fat burner from Infinite Labs is called the Final Cutz.

So I am hoping that this can help me establish those lines carved in to my abdomen by burning calories.

After yesterdays food debacle which mainly consisted of chocolate, today I am hoping to be much more focused.

I’ve been good so far by just having eggs on toast for breakfast, countless cups of coffee (standard) and now I have just devoured tuna with rice and a bit of hot chilli sauce which I include with everything.

That said, one of my clients is leaving today to return back to Germany before heading back to the USA for further study.

Therefore there’s lots of cake floating around the office that I will just have to sample.

So, as ever, a fast ride home on my bicycle to hit the weights then head over to my girlfriends’ place for a late night TV session and (another) cup of coffee.

All the time i am striving to maintain a physique that I can be proud of whilst also being useful.

I could not bare to look muscular yet have no functional strength, so strength training is my focus with high weight and low reps.

In order to keep my fat levels in check due to my compulsive desire to eat anything that seems to fall in front of me, I also use fat burners hence why we are here looking square in the face of Infinite Labs’ Final Cutz fat burner.

Let’s see if it has the minerals to be a winner like Instant Knockout which I use regularly to keep me trim and allow my abs to be visible.

TL:DR – Video Review

About Infinite Labs

Infinite Labs have a substantial website which is filled with great recipes, nutrition advice plus the best exercise routines to help you maximise your efforts.

This seems to reflect a real honest ambition to produce the most effective supplements.

Their history spans back to 2001 and Infinite Supplements say that they only create products that include scientifically proven ingredients.

‘…create products that were backed by science, not marketing hype…’

This all sounds great and it inspires confidence in the customer that these products are designed to work.

Ingredients

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has anti-oxidant properties.

This can help preserve the testes and protect them from stress. It is also able to assist with improving blood flow. [1]

Vitamin D3

Those who are obese also suffer from a D3 deficiency.

This vitamin helps maintain a healthy body weight by encouraging fat loss.

This is particularly more so if you are supplementing calcium, too. [2] [3]

Vitamin K

Helps clot blood and stem bleeding when cut.

Vitamin K also helps strengthen bones and has anti-cancer effects.

Often found in test boosters because the science states that K reduces inflammation. Too much inflammation prevents testosterone stimulation.

However, inflammation is also the root cause of chronic diseases such as obesity. [4]

Thiamine (Vitamin B1)

Thiamine helps our body use carbohydrates for energy.

Thimaine does not improve physical performance, though. [5]

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)

B5 is part of the group of B vitamins.

These all help convert food in to energy for your body to use for exercise and to exist.

B5 is also able to help produce red blood cells. This is important because red blood cells carry oxygen to the muscles and brain. [6]

Vitamin B6

If you are deficient in B6 you are more likely to be overweight. And not in the good, muscular way.

For a start we need healthy levels of B6 to increase muscle, but we also need it for fat loss.

B6 is water soluble, this means we cannot store it in the body and we need to keep topping up out levels daily. [7]

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)

B12 is able to increase energy levels and boost your metabolism.

Vitamin B12 is also a viable treatment for cellulite. [8]

Riboflavin (B2)

B2 helps your body grow and it helps increase red blood cell production which increases oxygen and nutrients getting to the organs. [9]

Niacinamide (Vit B3)

B3 could be able to lower cholesterol and even the risk of Alzheimer’s.

However, nothing is absolutely confirmed. [10]

Folate

High levels of folate ensure that your body can absorb nutrients properly. [11]

Biotin

Biotin helps break down fats and carbs. [12]

Zinc

A study in 2013 showed that people suffering from obesity had low levels of Zinc.

Also, if you are deficient in Zinc it means you cannot absorb the nutrients from your food in the intestine.

If you are deficient in zinc you are more likely to have higher levels of inflammation which contribute to many health issues. [13]

Magnesium

Magnesium has a part to play regarding glucose metabolism.

A lack of magnesium can contribute to feeling weak, fatigue and contribute to cramped muscles. [14]

Selenium

Selenium seems to be an anti-oxidant. And it is used for lots of health concerns but there’s no conclusive proof that it works.

Plus, it can contribute to skin cancer! [15]

Potassium

Potassium helps your muscles work effectively. Potassium can help prevent muscle cramp. [16]

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Full of vitamins but not a great deal of human research to suggest that it can suppress appetite or lower blood sugar levels. [17]

Cissus Quadrangularis

Cissus is said to have anabolic effects, yet there’s no proof behind these claims.

It seems there’s more anecdote that science. [18]

Bitter Orange (Citrus Aurantium)

Bitter orange can help fat loss but it can be very dangerous.

Reports of it leading to strokes, headaches and other health concerns are common.

It can also make skin more sensitive to the sunshine.

Overall, for health sake, it is best avoided. [19] [20]

Green Tea

Green tea is 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.

Green tea extract is found in many a good fat burning supplement. [21]

Caffeine

This can assist with endurance, tested athletes saw an edge from caffeine in scientific studies.

In some trials, the stimulant boosted athletes’ speed.

In others, it helped them last longer before they spent all their energy.

Caffeine also raises the metabolism which means you burn more calories.

Some studies show that it can curb soreness after exercise, too.

This means you could get back to your training sooner and training means more calories burnt. This is present in all 3 of our Top Fat Burners.

Caffeine Anhydrous is the purest form so always look for that. [22]

Betaine (trimethylglycine)

Betaine is often seen as an ingredient to increase power and performance.

However, results from studies vary enormously, so it isn’t really reliable or conclusive. [23]

6, 7, dihydroxybergamottin (DHB, Grapefruit)

Studies show that fat mass appears to be reduced more in groups consuming grapefruit relative to placebo. [24]

Yohimbe

Yohimbe is a powerful stimulant, but unlike caffeine whereby there are many benefits, one of which being fat loss Yohimbe doesn’t offer any positive effects.

In fact, yohimbe is quite dangerous and should be avoided. [25]

BioPerine (Piper nigrum)

Bioperine doesn’t help you lose fat mass. It doesn’t make you anymore healthier or better looking.

But it does help your body absorb nutrients more effectively. [26]

Creatinol O-Phosphate (COP)

When injected this can alleviate heart complications. No evidence it can do anything when consumed orally. [27]

Omega 3

Supplementation of Omega 3 does not alter endocrine gland responsiveness (the testes are a major endocrine gland), but it does help with inflammation. [28]

Coenzyme Q10

Our body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance.

It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. [29]

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha Lipoic Acid helps fight free radicals which in turn helps the body protect itself against infection. [30]

Abieta-8 11 13-trien-18-oic acid (DEHYDROABIETIC ACID DHAA, Pine Rosin Extract)

This may act as an estrogen suppressant, but only in rainbow trout fish.

It is worth noting that Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol) at best will be anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. [31] [32]

Banaba (Lagerstroemia)

Not a great deal of research on this, however, it does seem to inhibit absorption of carbohydrates. [33]

Tienchi Ginseng

Results from tests show that this is useful for controlling hypertension. [34]

Serving

6 capsules per day.

The daily dose of 2998.342mg is a good amount of combined ingredients.

In fact, this dose is fair when you consider that the best fat burners which tend to offer in excess of 3000mg.

Pros

There are just 7 ingredient included that has concrete evidence to help with fat loss and that are safe.

That is a poor number of ingredients considering there are 31 ingredients included.

Yes, you read that correct. 31 ingredients!

It is reassuring to see Green Tea, Caffeine, Magnesium, B6, B12 and Zinc included

These ingredients are found in the best fat burner, Instant Knockout.

Yohimbe and Bitter Orange can help with fat mass but they are both potentially dangerous ingredients and should really be avoided.

Clearly, when you read through the ingredients it is obvious there are further ingredients that can offer benefits…

Be this to increase testosterone levels, antioxidants, help absorb nutrients better, produce red blood cells or even create energy.

However, this is a fat burner and marketed as such, therefore I want all of the ingredients to be powerful and effect enough to help reduce fat mass.

I want the supplement to be focused.

Cons

I think it is important to note, that while there’s a healthy weight of ingredients per serving, due to the absurd amount of ingredients we’re not exactly getting massive amounts per ingredient.

It is a little bit sparsely distributed.

So to only have 7 proven, effective and safe fat burning ingredients does seem poor when you consider the best fat burner includes 10 focused and proven fat burning ingredients.

Especially when this seven amount to less than 500mg overall.

That is very low. It seems the effectiveness of the fat burning ingredients has been sacrificed in the name of bulking this supplement with unnecessary nutrients.

Nothing else that is not required is included in Instant Knockout. Nothing that will not have an effect on increasing the metabolism is wasted on this.

Then there are 5 ingredients included that have no proof to illustrate that they have any benefit at all.
