Ripped Power

Review Summary

Along with bodybuilding comes a plethora of body building supplements that are often mistaken as weight loss supplements due to some crossover with formula ingredients. Ripped Power is advertised as an ephedra extract based fat burning formula that will increase the effectiveness of exercising efforts.


Overview

The Ripped Power formula is claimed to be involved with the functions of the heart and brain, as well as the bodys ability to process fats. The term, involved is a befuddling way to describe the formulas performance and the advertising does nothing to clarify the claim. The chromium picolinate used in the formula is also involved in insulin function and other body processes.


Ingredients at a Glance

Chromium Polynicotinate, Guarana seed extract, Acacia rigidula extract, Phenlethylamine, Theobromine extract, Quebracho extract, L-Carnitine, Ephedra extract


Ingredients in Focus

The advertising for Ripped Power is limited and so we rely on other sources to describe some of the ingredients to you. Chromium Picolinate is believed to support physical development and possibly weight loss. Studies are unable to come to agreement about these claims. Guarana and Theobromine are both caffeinated ingredients that may suppress the appetite, but if indeed Ripped Power does contain authentic ephedrine (it is doubtful), there may be some negative side effects to accompany the use of the supplement.


Positives

-Inexpensive

-Product guarantee


Negatives

-Contains caffeine

-May contain an ephedra, or ephedra-like extract


Final Thoughts

The vague advertising for Ripped Power does nothing to clarify the claim that the formula contains an extract of ephedra. On general principal it is a good idea to avoid any ephedra type formulas because of the way it may compromise your health. However, there are other ingredients that may mimic the benefits of ephedra without the risk. Citrus Aurantium is one ingredient that has been studied for its effects on metabolism and the appetite. Weight loss formulas that are showing the best results for weight loss often combine an appetite suppressant and Citrus Aurantium without using caffeine. Unlike the advertising approach used for Ripped Power, the more reputable weight loss supplements include guidelines on diet and exercise, the two determining factors on whether the supplement will provide positive results.
