| The
10 Best Fat Burners You've Never Heard Of
by Jayson Kroner
Even as the words of this article
echo through your dome, your non-active, physically
hibernating peers are slowly growing guts that will
plague them ten years from now. And you know what’s
funny – they have no idea that it’s happening
to them. Because the sad reality is simple. And whether
you like to admit it or not, the majority of the people
riding out this flash-in-the pan that we call life,
are living it fatter than they have at any other point
in recorded history. Sad. So very sad.
What’s even more disheartening,
is that this metabolically sickening scenario might
perfectly describe what’s been happening with
you lately. Think about it. Have you been laying low,
too busy, taking a break or just chillin’ for
a few weeks? If even one these excuses sounds familiar,
don’t spaz just yet. Because by no means are you,
my caloric-storing compadre, alone in this struggle.
After all, it’s just human nature to need some
time away from this physically-disciplining lifestyle
that so many of us have chosen to lead, right?
Wrong.
Come on, you should know by now
that your body could care less about what’s going
on in your life. And while we’re on the topic
of biological self-bias, how do you think your body
would respond to that corporate horse-feed you all call
lunch twice a week? I’m sure that if our physical
selves had the fortune of telling us what they really
thought about our diets, they would retort with some
serious Scarface-esque threats.
“Ju wanna go to war, huh!
Ju wanna go to war??? Because we take you to war!”
Sure, laugh. But as disheartening
as this is to say, that’s the script your metabolism
writes every time you blow off a workout, drink 17 beers
and dog a burrito at 3:47 am on a Friday night. And
don’t even try to justify it, wiseguy. Because
you can’t fool your internal organs. The body
knows one thing, and one thing only – how to respond
to each and every one of your dietary decisions. Its
precision is flawless. You drink, you pee. You cut yourself,
you bleed. You listen to Yanni, you yawn (or attack
your stereo with the nearest blunt object). And then,
low and behold, if you neglect you total metabolic system,
you get fat.
Here’s why. When you’re
young, your body is capable of actions that equate to
biological history as an adult, even as a young adult.
Hormones that once fueled your youthful metabolism begin
to wane in production and activity. Nutritional deficiencies
become a part of everyday life. The couch starts to
look more and more appealing with each passing day.
And then, boom! Before you know it, you have a set of
love handles that insult you every time you dig out
an old pair of jeans.
Fret not, fatty. There’s hope
for you yet. This business of science and nutrition
is a remarkable one, to say the least. So remarkable
in fact, that it’s now very possible to alter
the way that your body deals with stored fat, sluggish
metabolism and poor thyroid hormone production. And
as I’m sure you know, there’s certainly
no shortage of self-proclaimed fat burning champions
to choose from these days. But that’s where the
bad news ends, and the good news begins. After weeks
of good old fashioned trial by fire, it’s my distinct
honor to introduce you to some of the best fat burners
money can buy. Now get to work!
Thermolean Extreme®
Shocker Nutrition
www.shockernutrition.com
I’ve always enjoyed Shocker’s products,
and Thermolean Extreme was no exception this time around!
Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed about Thermolean
Extreme was the “kick” that I felt within
twenty to thirty minutes after taking it. It was strong,
but not overpowering or uncomfortable. In fact, it was
the exact opposite. After taking it prior to my morning
meal, I was highly motivated to workout, go for a run
or hit the bike. And that, my friends, is the mark of
an excellent fat burning formula.
This unmistakably unavoidable motivation
can be easy attributed to a perfectly balanced arrangement
of thermogenic and hormonal support agents. This includes
generous amounts of Citrus Aurantium (standardized to
6% synepherine), 500 mg of Green Tea extract (98% polyphenols
and 45% EGCG), 300 mg of caffeine, 200 mg of Guggle
lipid extracts (for thyroid support), 7-OXO (a natural
metabolite of DHEA), and Octopamine, an effective glucose
support agent that helps encourage lipolysis at the
cellular level.
In light of this unbelievably versatile
framework, I was equally impressed with the 4:1 ratios
inherent to the three of the supporting herbs in Thermolean
Extreme – Dandelion, Buchu and Juniper Berry.
These three natural “diuretic” extracts
aren’t traditionally seen in many of today’s
formulas, but it was refreshing to watch them unite
in this formula. Within the body, they have very strong
synergistic properties, and have helped scores of people
lose weight successfully. Shocker has always been about
the science, and that was very clear in this formula.
It’s simply outstanding.

CLA Extreme™
from NOW®
www.nowfoods.com
NOW® Foods is truly one of the industry’s
best kept secrets, but make no mistake – anyone
who knows a thing about them knows that they are completely
dedicated to backing everything they do with strong
scientific research. CLA Extreme™ is a remarkable
fat-burning formula that launches an all-out war on
stored fat and sluggish metabolisms.
This is accomplished by uniting
conjugated linoleic acid (which just happens to be one
of the most thoroughly researched fat burning catalysts
of all time) with a base of potent synergists that helps
maximize metabolic activity. They include natural vitamin
E, chromium picolinate, guarana and standardized green
tea extracts. Even more impressive, NOW is one of the
few companies out there to include a generous amount
of L-carnitine.
I can sum this one up in one word
– energy! From the first day I took it, I was
instantly convinced that there was something very special
about this formula. The softgels go to work extremely
fast, and have a long-lasting effect that keeps you
well-fueled for hours. And come workout time, CLA Extreme
really shows its true colors. I had some of the best
workouts of my life while using this powerful formula,
and have recommended it to just about everyone who’s
ever asked me for nutritional advice. My only regret
is that I don’t have one more arm. If I did, this
one would definitely get three big thumbs up. It’s
just that good.

Kranker Extreme™
IDS Sports
www.idssports.com
The people at Innovative Delivery Systems really came
though on this one. The ingredients in their Kranker
Extreme Speed Gels are super fast acting, powerfully
effective and backed by a mountain of science. What
I found most fascinating about this product was the
completeness of the nutritional profile. From energy
production and thyroid support, to appetite control
and lioptropic balance, Kranker Extreme delivers everything
a person could want in a weight management formula.
Their decision to offer this potent
collection of weight management compounds in a liquid
softgel was an equally smart decision. Not only does
it allow for rapid uptake, but it also reminds you that
your money has been well spent. The subtle rush of energy
that comes from 100 mg of caffeine is nicely complemented
by a proprietary blend of Green Tea, Citrus Aurantium,
BioPerine®, Uva Ursi, Bergamottin and Coleus Forskolin.
As an added perk, Kranker Extreme
also contains 150 mg of Hoodia, to help keep your appetite
at bay. At the end of the day, Kranker Extreme is a
fantastic product that I will be enjoying for a long
time to come!

Scorch™
MAN Products
www.manb2p.com
Scorch™ is nothing short of thermogenic excellence
in a bottle. This was my first time using MAN products,
but I can’t stress enough how glad I was that
I did. Their unique collection of fat burning and thermogenic
catalysts comes together to create one of the most effective
weight management products I’ve ever had the pleasure
of using. Within a few days of supplementing Scorch,
I could notice changes not only in my appearance, but
in my overall levels of metal alertness, skyrocketing
energy levels and feelings of complete confidence in
the gym.
And talk about versatility. Scorch
packs 10 of the best compounds into a convenient 2 capsule
serving that delivers a metabolic punch without the
jitters and shakes that can accompany some of even the
strongest formulas. It’s fueled by a unique combination
of catechins, EGCG and polyphenol-rich tea extracts,
in addition to 200 mg of USP caffeine, 99% tyramine,
coleus and several others.
All told, this is an extremely potent
formula that will find you fully energized and looking
and felling better than you have in years.

MiracleBurn™
www.miracleburn.com
Miracle Burn may be one that you’ve never heard
of, but with one of the most complete fat burning profiles
available, it’s definitely one that you need to
know about. I was instantly impressed with this one,
as well as the feedback that my peers provided. It encompasses
everything that is essential in a quality weight loss
supplement – a solid thermogenic foundation, key
thyroid supporting compounds, essential b-vitamins in
perfect balance for energy and metabolic support, and
a powerful proprietary blend that attacks stubborn fat
on the cellular level.
One of the things I liked most about
MiracleBurn was its inclusion of Senna and Cascara Sagrada.
These are two very effective herbs that help facilitate
and support natural digestion, along with Hoodia Gordonii
in the ideal 20:1 ratio. All in all, MiracleBurn is
an outstanding way to successfully manage a healthy
body weight using natural ingredients that have been
proven time and time again to do exactly what they claim
to do.

BioBurn Extreme™
For Youthful Health
www.4yh.com
BioBurn Extreme is an instant favorite in the making,
and I was completely impressed by how fast I was able
to notice it working within my system. In addition to
200 mcg of chromium, this powerhouse formula is fueled
by 500 mg of Citrus Aurantium, a potent form of AdvantraZ®
(bitter orange extract). This is a very unique pairing
that seems to work in much the same way that some ephedrine-like
products do without the jitters and excessive sweating
inherent to such.
I was equally impressed with the
choice of compounds and extracts in BioBurn’s
proprietary blend, and was especially pleased to learn
that Guggulipids were a key component. I’ve been
a big believer in the role that Guggul can play in supporting
the positive augmentation of lean muscle mass, while
expediting the process of converting stored fat into
expendable energy that the body can use metabolic energy.
It was nice to see that someone had actually taken this
into consideration, as well.
That, coupled with a potent base
of very well thought out synergists such as Garcinia
Cambogia, Metabromine-G, NAC and L-tyrosine, Caffeine
and Greet Tea make BioBurn Extreme a safe, effective
fat burning formula that I would confidently recommend
to my friends and family. In fact, I did just that!
Chromium, 200mcg (1675%)
Citrus Aurantium, 500mg
BioBurn Complex, 200mg
Garcinia Cambogia
Guggullipids
Metabromine-G
N-acetyl l-tyrosine

BioBurn Tea Blend, 200mg

AccuSLIM™
www.accuslim.com
Accuslim floored me. Now, I had heard some good things
about this advanced fat burning formula from a few of
my industry peers, but their words didn’t do this
outstanding formula a bit of justice until I finally
had the chance to try it for myself. I’m still
at a loss for words on where to start. Accuslim clearly
has one of the most potent and science-based nutritional
profiles on the market today, and as if that weren’t
enough, the potencies are optimally balanced for absolute
effectiveness within the body’s metabolic system.
The manufacturers of Accuslim did
a remarkable job formulating this legend in the making,
and have left no biological stone overturned. Blood
serum levels are perfectly supported with 300 mcg of
GTF chromium, as well as100 mcg of vanadium –
a grossly overlooked element in many of today’s
most popular formulas. Accuslim also delivers outrageous
thermogenic synergism via 600 very generous milligrams
of AdvantraZ®, and 400 mg of Tea extract per serving!
American and Oriental ginseng root extracts gave me
a nice kick that helped in sustaining high-output cardio
workouts, and an unheard of 1.5 grams (1500 mg) of Garcinia
Cambogia (HCA) has been included. This was successful
in keeping my mind off of food while burning fat in
the process.
The bottom line? This one has it
all. A strong, non-stimulant thermogenic base, essential
blood sugar support and a lineup of supporting nutrients
that make it one of my top picks.
GTF Chromium Chelavite, 300mcg
Vanadium, 100 mcg
Advantra Z® (from Citrus Aurantium), 600mg
Tea (Leaf), 400mg
Oriental Ginseng(root), 200mg

Eleuthero(root), 250mg
Rhodiola Rosea (root)(Artic Root), 300mg
Garcinia Cambogia
(standardized for 60% HCA fruit), 1,500 mg
Ventilean™ Lipothermic Solution
Pharmagenx®
www.pharmagenx.com
Ventilean™ delivers a product that truly makes
it possible to initiate the fat burning process at an
earlier stage during exercise and training. This was
evidenced the first time I tried it. Right away, I found
that my endurance and energy levels were vastly improved
than they would have been without it, and my response
to fatigue was cut down dramatically. What I enjoy most
about this unique merger of essential nutrients and
thermogenic compounds was the delivery method.
While they also offer Ventilean™
in liquid lipogel caps, I was blown away with their
ultra-fast acting liquid liposome delivery system. A
convenient, non-injection, spill free and easy cap-on
oral dosing syringe was perfect for filling and taking
to the gym and office.
On an equally impressive level,
is the collaboration of potent lioptropic and thermogenic
compounds, including 750 mg of theophyline, and 21 mg
of 95% standardized Zi-Shi equivalent to 20 mg of synephrine.
This, in unison with 150 mg of caffeine, an arsenal
of metabolic supporting B-vitamins and one of the few
proprietary blends to incorporate C-Amp (cyclic adenosine
3’, 5’monophosphate) makes Ventilean an
excellent way to jumpstart the process of burning fat
during moderate and intense exercise.

Ultra Ripped™
Ultimate Nutrition
www.ultimatenutrition.com
Ultimate Nutrition continues to impress me. By incorporating
sound science to formulate their products, they get
right to the heart of what the body needs in order to
encourage the body to burn fat at an accelerated rate.
Their ephedrine-free Ultra Ripped formula gave me a
nice kick that kept me well-fueled throughout the course
of even my heaviest workouts.
One of the nicest things about this
formula, is the value that you get in return. For openers,
Ultra Ripped is very moderately priced, making it affordable
to anyone who might not have tons of cash to devote
to supplements. But aside from that, their products
just work. Period. By incorporating well-researched
thermogenic synergists such as Chromium, green tea and
bitter orange along with a nicely balanced proprietary
blend, Ultimate continues to offer products that you
can put your faith in, every time.

RELORA®
Relora® is perfect for anyone who’s serious
about sticking to a diet, or for anyone who’s
had trouble fighting the urges to shovel down handfuls
of food while doing so. This patented proprietary complex
of extracts from Magnolia officinalis and a patent-pending
extract from Phellodendron amurense addresses an area
of weight loss that others simply do not – the
physical and mental stress that often accompanies dieting.
It was developed specifically to help encourage stress-related
appetite control, and has a proven record of both safety
and effectiveness.
One of the reasons that Relora is
so high on my list, is because of the role it plays
in preventing the release of the stress hormone cortisol
that we’ve all heard so much about. The process
is quite simple. When you train hard, you stress your
system. When you stress your system, your body responds
by releasing cortisol. An overproduction of this pesky
stress-hormone can ultimately relate in more abdominal
fat, fatigue and an increase in appetite.
Supplementing Relora® in combination
with your regular training and supplement regime is
a great way to get the most out of your diet and training!
Relora®, 300mg (A proprietary
blend of plant extracts Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron
amurense. Standardized to 1.5% Honokiol and 0.1% Berberine.)
