Extreme Shredder is a weight loss supplement that increases energy while burning fat. It does this by enhancing the process called “thermogenesis” in which the body heat increases thereby making it work more efficiently in burning fat.

Extreme Shredder uses the same formula and ingredients as many other supplements. In this review we shall examine the components in more detail to determine whether this product has the capability to perform what it claims.

Extreme Shredder includes the following ingredients: Yerba Mate, Green Tea, L-Tyrosine, Synephrine and Cocoa.

Yerba Mate and Green Tea are forms of caffeine which is a stimulant. These ingredients are meant to boost energy levels. However, caffeine is known to cause side-effects such as shakiness, nausea and insomnia. Also, those taking aspirin and blood thinning medications should wary of it as it might interfere with blood clotting.
L-Tyrosine is a protein amino acid which is said to ease fatigue and support physical and mental well-being. Although it has not been proven to be an energy booster, studies have shown that it may be an effective antidepressant.

Bitter orange extract contains Synephrine which supports weight loss by increasing energy and metabolic rate. Although this substance has become a popular ingredient in supplements because of its effectiveness, its patented version called Advantra-Z® is even more powerful. Thus products which include the latter work better than those that use the unpatented extract.

Cocoa may help increase energy and has been shown to boost levels of serotonin in the brain. When this happens, a feeling of well-being is created.

Save from the ingredients containing caffeine, the other components in Extreme Shredder are gentle in form. Although they may not cause the body to create extra body heat to boost thermogenesis, they may still support a diet and exercise program.

We noticed however, that the formula does not contain an appetite suppressant like Hoodia which has been proven effective in controlling appetite. The tendency to overeat needs to be addressed if one is to maximize a weight loss program. Nevertheless, the formula contains Cocoa and L-Tyrosine which may promote mental well-being and even happiness.

Extreme Shredder’s website contains a brief product description and a list of ingredients. It talks about a “Thermogenic Formula” however, it does not explain how the ingredients contribute to the process of thermogenesis. There is no cited research or testimonials included either.

The price of Extreme Shredder has been reduced to $11.95. Unfortunately, the product is shown to be out of stock although customers are offered the option of joining an email wait list. There is no other contact information posted.

We prefer websites that provide complete information and full service to consumers. A cited research boosts the quality and credibility of a product. Also, testimonials are powerful tools that show how a product has benefited others and what potential consumers may expect.

Positives

• Inexpensive
• Contains amino acids
• Contains Cocoa

Negatives

• Contains Caffeine
• No testimonials posted
• No cited research to explain thermogenic process
• Low function website

Overall, Extreme Shredder’s thermogenic formula does not contain enough ingredients to boost the process. The ingredients included may not have the potency to improve metabolic rate or raise energy levels. However, the product may still promote weight loss if taken in moderation and in combination with a program that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise.

People looking for a product to increase metabolism would best benefit from a formula that includes the patented version of bitter orange extract called Advantra-Z®. Extreme Shredder is being sold at the retail price of $11.95.
