Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
CLA
CLA is a type of fatty-acid which weakly improves fat-loss.
Studies show that it may actually be more effective for increasing lean body mass than for burning fat (1, 2).
The effective dose is 3-6g daily, with food.
Phenylalanine
Phenylalanine is an amino acid which may have positive effects on mood and energy.
Tyrosine
Tyrosine is another amino acid, which has anti-stress effects.
It reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which allows improved performance when fatigued (3).
An effective dose is 500-2,000mg.
Fructooligosaccharides
Fructooligosaccharides are naturally-occurring compounds found in plants.
They provide prebiotic effects, aid the digestive process, and may improve mineral absorption (4).
Caffeine
Although caffeine is used mostly for improving energy levels, it’s also able to improve fat-loss by increasing in metabolic rate (5).
The effective dose for fat-burning is usually around 200mg.
Purple Chrysanthemum
Purple Chrysanthemum is a flowering plant.
It’s been shown to have anti-obesity effects in overweight humans, with significant fat-loss results (6).
Dandelion
Dandelion is a plant that has potent diuretic effects.
It can cause significant decreases in water weight, but this is a temporary effect (7).
Olive Leaf
Olive leaf extract has powerful antioxidant properties.
It’s also been shown to increase insulin sensitivity (8).
Choline Bitartrate
Choline is a cognitive-enhancer.
Research shows those who consume more choline in their diets demonstrate better mental performance (9).
Citrus Aurantium
Citrus Aurantium is the scientific name for bitter orange, a fruit that contains fat-burning compounds.
Its extract suppresses appetite and increases metabolic rate, and works best over several weeks of use (10).

The main difference is that it tends to release faster than regular caffeine.
