Coleus Forskohili - this is a herb that's been used in Indian medicine for centuries.
It's mainly used to relax the airways in your lungs to help breathing.
It also elevates cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) levels,
which regulate active enzymes required for cellular energy transfer.
It also helps lower blood pressure.
Citrus aurantium - also known as bitter orange, Citrus has been used in Chinese
medicine to treat chest congestion. Citrus aurantium has a rare
combination of 5 amines: synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine,
octopamine, and tyramine, which "stimulates beta-3 cell receptors"
that could lead to increase in your metabolic rate without affecting
heart rate or blood pressure.
The added benefit of Citrus aurantium
is this ability to stimulate beta-3 cell receptors, which helps
breakdown fat, increase energy, and increase metabolic rate, hence
making thermogenesis more effective. Studies show that Citrus
aurantium may also act to suppress appetite.
I should point out that the biggest
benefit of Citrus aurantium is that several compound found in
Citrus aurantium are structurally similar to ephedrine and act
as stimulants, but these do not appear to have the same negative
side effects of ephedrine. You will notice that Ripped Fuel Extreme
contains only 20mg of Mahuang, while Ripped Fuel contains 334mg
of Mahuang.
Citrus aurantium is very much hyped,
alot of how it works are still theories and speculation, and lacks
thorough scientific research. So, as good as it sounds on paper,
keep a skeptical eye open.
Aside from these, Ripped Fuel Extreme
contains green tea extract and ginger root - the effects of which
you can read more about in our Xenadrine
EFX review.
Please note:
Both ripped fuel and ripped fuel Extreme has been
discontinued by Twinlab and reformulated. Ephedra has been banned by
the FDA, and all ephedra based fat burners are no
longer marketed.
Ripped fuel
has also discontinued their original ephedra version,
and they have an ephedra free version available:
