MuscleSport International Thermal Revolution Fat Burner First Look:

Bright and bold supplements are very appealing to me. They stand out, look sporty and because they are not attempting to look pharmaceutical they are not lying or being dishonest. In fact they are brazen of their supplement nature.

They also step away from the old mentality of trying to look dark, moody and underground too. This looks fresh and modern, it also inspires confidence.

Ingredients:

Phosphatidylserine – 300mg taken daily seems to be effective as a daily preventative against cognitive decline.

Celery (Apium Graveolens) – It is often touted that eating celery helps lose weight because the digestive process uses more calories than provided by the celery.

However, it seems when mixed with chicory and barley it is beneficial to lower blood cholesterol and liver disease.

Dihydrocapsiate – A capsinoid found in chili peppers. Dihydrocapsiate is similar to capsaicin, which is known for its thermogenic properties. In tests this had small thermogenic effects.

Evodiamine – Seems to be used to treat multiple afflictions such as Nausea, Diarrhea, stomach ulcers and even obesity, it may even decrease inflammation, blood pressure and stimulate the heart but there’s actually very little evidence to prove that this is the case in humans.

Phenylethylamine (PEA) – Limited supplemental usage due to being rapidly broken down into inactive components.

1,3-Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) – 1,3-DMAA is a neural stimulant with a structure similar to Ephedrine and adrenaline that has been used as a pre-workout stimulant. Not much information is available on 1,3-DMAA supplementation, and is no longer commonly sold as a supplement. Because it is structurally similar to amphetamine it can cause false readings for doping tests and should not be used by competitive athletes.

Vitamin B6 – Using it in its most natural form, pyridoxine, B6 is an essential nutrient to raising the body’s metabolism and aiding the fat burning process.

Niacin – Higher amounts of niacin can improve cholesterol levels and lower cardiovascular risks. However, the jury is out on these real benefits.

Yohimbe – Related to Yohimbine, Yohimbe is a powerful stimulant and used to increase fat loss as well as assist with erectile dysfunction. Can cause a host of other problems though, this is in out supplements to avoid list.

Supplementation with yohimbine combined with resistance training does not significantly alter the body mass, muscle mass, or performance indicators.

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

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.

Chronium – Research suggests that chromium might improve weight loss in some people who are overweight or obese. This is found in the #1 Fat Burner.

Hordenine – Technically Hordenine can be used as a stimulant and fat burner due to its associated with tyramine and noradrenaline, but not enough evidence exists currently to support its usage as nutritional supplementation.

Dose:

There’s a 2 pill per day dose as per the instructions. We are served a disrespectful 1397.35mg of ingredients per day.

A dose of (4) pills spread out evenly across 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:

We are presented with 5 effective fat burning ingredients from a list of 13 which begs the question, what the fuck are the rest doing?

Well they not being scientifically proven that is for sure, or they are causing a host of potential unpleasant side effects.

What beneficial ingredients we do have will help towards fighting the flab but truth be told, there’s not much to work with here.

It is refreshing to see that the ingredient profile is available for all to see and not hidden within a proprietary blend.

Negatives:

Having nearly 2/3 of the product either not being safe or conclusively effective is not a good sign nor does it give me much confidence in the product.

To include an ingredient that is only effective when combined with 2 others that are omitted shows just how little thought and research has gone in to the formulation of this fat burner.

The recommendation to only take 2 pills which offers a woeful 1397mg of combined ingredients is not going to offer the best chance of effectiveness either especially with this poor profile.

MuscleSport International Thermal Revolution Fat Burner Conclusion:

The problem with this fat burner apart from the lack of overall ingredients is and the potentially harmful ingredients is that it is awash with content with no proof or scientific studies to quantify their use or benefits when ingested.

It is almost like eating soil because someone somewhere said it may cure your headache…great but why would you do that in the off chance it works when you can buy aspirin?

Would you risk sun burn and potential skin cancer because rubbing milkshake all over your body was touted as being an effective sun block when you can literally buy scientifically developed and proven sun protection already?

You wouldn’t, so why buy this if you can buy an alternative proven product?
