Burn of the Gods - Ultimate Shred Fat Burner

Burn of the Gods Ultimate Shred contains 4 different fast-and-long acting stimulants that work synergistically to provide a smooth boost of energy with no crash that lasts up to 3-5 hours.

The stimulants included are 150mg ZümXR targeted release caffeine, 50mg Green Tea Extract and 50mg Theobroma Cacao Extract.

Caffeine Anhydrous is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that blocks adenosine receptors, leading to increased feel-good hormone release (such as dopamine), reduction/blocking of fatigue signals in the brain and increased mental alertness and performance.

ZümXR is a patented caffeine delivery system that provides controlled, extended, and delayed release of caffeine. It offers sustained energy, focus, and alertness for several hours, minimising the spike and crash associated with regular caffeine. This makes it ideal for long-lasting, smooth energy without sudden drops in performance.

Theobroma Cacao extract is derived from the same plant used to make chocolate and is rich in bioactive compounds like caffeine and theobromine. While theobromine is related to caffeine, it has a milder effect on the central nervous system. In addition, theobromine acts as a natural diuretic, appetite suppressant, and thermogenic, promoting fat utilisation through enhanced beta-oxidation.

A "crash" is a common issue for many users of stimulant-based products, often resulting in fatigue, irritability, and difficulty focusing once the initial energy boost wears off. This happens when the effects peak quickly and then suddenly drop, leaving you feeling worse than before. This is typically because most pre-workouts rely on just one stimulant, like caffeine anhydrous, without any supporting nootropics or additional ingredients. To prevent this, Burn of the Gods Ultimate Shred combines three types of stimulants with nootropics,

delivering a powerful, sustained energy boost that lasts 3-5 hours—without the crash.

Burn of the Gods Ultimate Shred combines a scientifically advanced blend of nootropics and dopamine precursors to optimise both mental and physical performance. Here's how each ingredient works:

Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALCAR) crosses the blood-brain barrier, boosting acetylcholine production, which is key for learning, memory, and focus. It also enhances brain energy metabolism and offers neuroprotection by reducing oxidative stress, ensuring long-term cognitive health.

Alpha GPC increases acetylcholine levels, enhancing memory and mental clarity. Its ability to improve the mind-muscle connection leads to better coordination and more efficient

muscle contractions, boosting both cognitive and physical performance.

L-Tyrosine replenishes dopamine and other neurotransmitters that get depleted during stress and intense exercise. This helps reduce mental fatigue, improve focus, and stabilise mood, making it ideal for high-stress workouts.

Siberian Ginseng acts as an adaptogen, helping the body manage stress and maintain mental clarity. It enhances focus and reduces fatigue during prolonged physical and mental exertion.

Pterostilbene (Blueberry Extract) is a powerful antioxidant that protects brain cells from oxidative damage, supporting long-term cognitive health and preventing mental decline.

Together, these ingredients create a synergistic effect, delivering sustained mental clarity, focus, and energy without the crash with an added general wellness element, keeping you

performing at your best.

Burn of the Gods Ultimate Shred features scientifically-backed ingredients that help suppress appetite, making it easier to manage calorie intake and support your weight loss goals.

Theobroma Cacao Extract is rich in bioactive compounds like caffeine, theobromine, and polyphenols. Caffeine and theobromine suppress appetite by stimulating the central nervous system, while polyphenols help regulate hunger by reducing levels of ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and increasing GLP-1 (a hormone that promotes satiety). Beyond appetite control, these polyphenols offer powerful antioxidant benefits, along with potential anti-cancer, cardiovascular, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Paradoxine® (Grains of Paradise) contains active compounds such as 6-paradol, 6-gingerol, and 6-shogaol, which not only support fat loss but also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, further enhancing overall health and well-being.

Piperine (Black Pepper Extract) is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities. It protects the body by inhibiting free radical damage and reducing inflammation through the suppression of key inflammatory pathways.

These ingredients work together to help suppress appetite while also offering additional health benefits like reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

Burn of the Gods Ultimate Shred features key ingredients that significantly boost metabolism, increase resting metabolic rate (RMR), and promote fat oxidation, aiding in both fat loss and energy production.

L-Carnitine and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) are amino acid derivatives that play a vital role in fat metabolism. L-Carnitine acts as a transporter, binding to long-chain fatty acids and shuttling them into the mitochondria, where they are broken down to produce energy. This process, facilitated by the Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase (CPT) system, enables fatty acids to undergo beta-oxidation and convert into acetyl-CoA, which fuels the Krebs cycle to generate ATP, the body’s primary energy source.

By enhancing fat transport and oxidation, L-Carnitine and LCLT boost energy levels, increase endurance, and help reduce muscle damage. They also accelerate recovery, improve blood flow, and reduce muscle soreness, allowing for enhanced performance during workouts.

Gamma-Butyrobetaine (GBB), a pro-carnitine molecule, not only helps the body produce more L-Carnitine (increasing its levels by up to 300%) but also exerts a thermogenic effect, raising body temperature and enhancing calorie burn. This leads to increased metabolism, making GBB a powerful tool for both fat burning and energy production. The thermogenic effect helps you burn more calories even at rest, contributing to accelerated fat loss.

Together, these ingredients optimise fat metabolism, energy production, and recovery, while GBB adds a thermogenic boost, ensuring you get the most out of every workout with Burn of the Gods.

Thermogenesis is the process through which your body generates heat by burning calories, drawing from either recent food intake or stored body fat. There are three primary forms of thermogenesis:

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – the number of calories your body burns at rest.

Activity-Induced Thermogenesis (AIT) – the energy expended during physical activity or exercise.

Diet-Induced Thermogenesis (DIT) – the energy your body uses to digest, absorb, and process nutrients.

Increasing thermogenesis can raise overall calorie expenditure, promoting fat loss. Burn of the Gods contains scientifically backed ingredients that enhance thermogenesis, BMR/RMR, and DIT which are the following:

Paradoxine® (Grains of Paradise) is a potent thermogenic ingredient that activates Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT), which is essential for heat production and fat burning. Its active compound, 6-paradol, stimulates BAT to increase calorie burn and fat oxidation, boosting overall thermogenesis.

GBB + L-Carnitine work together to enhance thermogenesis by improving the transport of fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are converted into energy. The interaction between GBB and L-Carnitine is exothermic, meaning it generates heat, further elevating thermogenesis.

Caffeine increases BMR/RMR by stimulating the central nervous system (CNS) and releasing epinephrine (adrenaline). This hormone signals fat cells to release stored fatty acids, making them available for oxidation, which boosts thermogenesis and energy

expenditure.

Theobroma Cacao Extract, which contains caffeine and theobromine, enhances thermogenesis by stimulating the release of norepinephrine, promoting fat breakdown and increasing fat oxidation, further supporting calorie burning.

Green Tea Extract is another effective thermogenic agent due to its high content of catechins and caffeine. Catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), work in synergy with caffeine to elevate metabolism and fat oxidation by increasing norepinephrine levels. This stimulates thermogenesis, helping break down fat stores and increase energy expenditure.

Together, these thermogenic ingredients in Burn of the Gods Ultimate Shred work to maximise calorie burn, increase fat oxidation, and boost overall energy expenditure, supporting your weight loss and fat-burning goals.

Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) is one of two types of fat found in the body, the other being White Adipose Tissue (WAT), commonly known as stubborn fat. Unlike WAT, which stores fat, BAT is specialised for thermogenesis, or heat production, and burns fat rather than storing it. BAT is rich in mitochondria—cellular powerhouses responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and heat. The unique protein found in BAT's mitochondria, Uncoupling Protein 1 (UCP1), is key to its fat-burning ability.

Typically, when fatty acids are oxidised in the mitochondria, the energy released is used to create Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary energy source. However, UCP1 disrupts this process by allowing protons to flow back across the mitochondrial membrane without producing ATP, causing the energy to be released as heat instead. This process leads to an increase in calorie burning and fat loss.

A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition (2013) demonstrated that supplementation with Paradoxine® (Grains of Paradise) significantly increases energy expenditure and stimulates BAT activity compared to a placebo. Activating BAT not only boosts fat burning but can also trigger a process called "browning," where WAT is converted into BAT, enhancing thermogenesis and weight loss.

Grains of Paradise promotes both BAT activation and the browning process, leading to increased fat oxidation.

Fat oxidation is the metabolic process where stored fatty acids are broken down and converted into energy within the mitochondria. The process begins with lipolysis, in which stored fat is broken down into free fatty acids, regulated by hormones like epinephrine, growth hormone, and glucagon. Once released into the bloodstream, fatty acids bind to albumin carrier proteins are transported to tissues like skeletal muscle, liver, and the heart, where they are utilised for energy. In the mitochondria, these fatty acids undergo

beta-oxidation, breaking down into acetyl-CoA, which enters the Krebs Cycle to generate ATP, fueling the body's energy needs.

In summary, Grains of Paradise enhances fat burning by increasing BAT activity, promoting the conversion of WAT to BAT, and supporting the overall process of fat oxidation, leading to greater energy expenditure and weight loss.

Glucose is a vital carbohydrate that serves as the body's primary energy source. Whenblood glucose levels are stable, you’re less likely to experience hunger or cravings. Clinical studies and meta-analyses have shown that Theobroma Cacao Extract and Piperine can aid in the management of type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin sensitivity and improving glucose utilisation, making it easier for the body to regulate blood sugar levels and support metabolic health.
