Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid which can reduce fatigue during exercise (1).
It also improves water and nutrient uptake into muscle cells, which can enhance pumps.
Tyrosine
Tyrosine is a compound which can reduce stress hormone levels.
It’s used to improve both mental and physical performance, in people under stress or fatigue (2).
The effective dose is between 500-2,000mg.
Caffeine
Caffeine is a stimulant which improves energy levels and metabolic rate (3).
An effective dose can range between 200-500mg.
Coleus Forskohlii
Coleus forskohlii is a herb that may improve body composition through fat loss and increase muscle gain.
This may be related to increases in testosterone levels (4).
Theanine
Theanine is a relaxation-promoting amino acid.
It increases calmness and focus, and can be used to take the “edge” off stimulants (5).
The effective dose is about 100-200mg.
Theobromine
Theobromine is a compound that occurs naturally in cocoa.
Research shows that it can improve mood, and boost mental performance (6).
Hordenine
Hordenine has effects as both a mood-booster and fat-burner.
It can enhance and extend the effects of other stimulants, such as caffeine (7).
The most common dose is 30-50mg.
Synephrine
Synephrine is a naturally-occurring compound, found in a fruit called “bitter orange”.
It’s been shown to improve fat loss by suppressing appetite and increasing metabolic rate (8).
This formula also contains a second form called methylsynephrine, which is man-made. Although a potent fat-burner, it has also shown undesirable side-effects such as increases to heart-rate and blood pressure (9).

Higenamine is another stimulant and fat-burner, which has similar effects to the banned substance ephedrine.
It is not yet well-researched in humans.
