How does TestoRipped work?

TestoRipped contains an extensive number of ingredients exclusively designed for men. Caffeine is included to provide energy by stimulating the central nervous system. Synepherine is incorporated as the primary fat burner and works in combination with caffeine. Guggulsterones are used to increase the levels of the thyroid hormone which boosts metabolism. Yohimbe is believed to enhance sex drive, while cinnamon increases insulin levels and reduces blood sugar. Tribulus Terrestris is present in the formulation to boost energy levels and promote the production of testosterone. Eurycoma longifolia is also used to help increase testosterone levels and regulate cortisol. Creatine is incorporated to aid performance and accelerate muscle growth, and arginine delivers elevated levels of nitric oxide which increases blood flow and muscle mass. It is stated on the official website that TestoRipped is not available to residents of New Zealand and Australia, presumably due to the presence of yohimbe. The manufacturer stresses that the active ingredients in TestoRipped are designed to help accelerate weight loss in combination with dieting and exercise. Therefore, the better the diet and the more frequent the exercise, the more impressive the results are likely to be.

TestoRipped ingredients

TestoRipped’s ingredients are:

• Arginine AKG
• Caffeine Anhydrous
• Cinnamon extract
• Creatine
• Eurycoma longifolia
• Guggulsterones
• L-Glutamine
• Synephrine
• Tribulus terrestris
• Yohimbine

Looking at the ingredients in greater detail:

Arginine AKG (100 mg): Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AKG) has been shown to increase nitric oxide (NO) levels. NO is a key molecule used by the body to transport oxygen, increase blood flow and deliver nutrients to skeletal muscle. AKG helps increase workout performance, which can result in increased muscle mass.

Caffeine (150 mg): A recognized thermogenic compound with clinically proven benefits for weight loss (e.g. Am J Clin Nutr. 1989;49(1):44-50; Am J Clin Nutr. 1980;33(5):989-97), although there are indications that it offers greater benefits to leaner individuals (Am J Physiol. 1995;269(4 Pt 1):E671-8).

Cinnamon Extract (50 mg): Cinnamon is one of the oldest remedies used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive support. Cinnamon is a plant native to Bangladesh, India and Nepal. It is the inner bark (and sometimes essential oil) that is referred to as cinnamon spice. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum and Cinnamomum cassia) may have some benefit in lowering blood-sugar levels and may help slow the body’s absorption of fat. Research studies have yielded conflicting results and it is not yet clear whether taking a cinnamon supplement reduces blood sugar levels with long term use

Creatine Ethyl Ester (100 mg): Creatine is a substance sold as an aid for athletic performance and for muscle development in bodybuilding. Creatine bloat is caused by poor absorption of creatine monohydrate. Creatine ethyl ester is a more effective form of creatine because it uses fat to more efficiently permeate the cell wall. Unfortunately, a dose of around 2000 mg of creatine is needed to be fully effective.

Eurycoma longifolia (50 mg): Standardized for 40% glyco saponins and 30% polysacharides, the Eurycoma extract in TestoRipped has been shown to help increase IGF1 levels and modulate cortisol levels. Studies on this particular extract have shown that it increased the average male serum testosterone level by 100% after 2 weeks of use.

L-Glutamine (100 mg): L-Glutamine is used by athletes and bodybuilders to help them recover faster from workouts and competition, and to keep muscles hydrated for maximum growth. However, to obtain optimal results from this compound a higher dose than 100 mg is required.

Guggulsterones 2.5% (15 mg): This ingredient is a patented extract of Commiphora mukul, a tree native to India. Another common name for this compound is Guggul. In India Guggul is used to help lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It can help maintain a healthy balance of HDL, the good cholesterol, relative to LDL, the bad cholesterol (the HDL/LDL ratio), thereby protecting against cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. A clinical study found that Guggul may boost fat burning (see J Postgrad Med. 1995; 41(1): 5-7) by stimulating the secretion of the T3 thyroid hormone.

Synephrine HCL (15 mg): Synephrine comes from the Citrus aurantium plant which is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Clinical studies have indicated that Citrus aurantium promotes a relatively modest increase in thermogenesis. Although found in many fat burners, there is no convincing evidence that Synephrine, when used alone, is effective for weight loss. There is some data showing positive weight loss effects, but only when Synephrine is used in combination with caffeine and St. John’s Wort.

Yohimbe (1.5 mg): This is a tree bark containing a variety of pharmacologically active compounds and is often consumed as an aphrodisiac. A number of studies support Yohimbe’s beneficial effects on weight loss (e.g. Isr J Med SCI 1991. 27(10):550-6). However, the effects are not dramatic. Serious side effects associated with products containing Yohimbe have been reported to the FDA, including renal failure, seizures and death. The major alkaloid in Yohimbe is Yohimbine, a chemical that induces vasodilation, thereby lowering blood pressure. Additional side effects can include anxiety attacks.

Tribulus Terrestris (80% Saponins; 200 mg): This compound is known to boost testosterone levels, thus increasing muscle mass and enhancing libido. Tribulus has long been used to treat a variety of conditions such as low energy, depression, impotence, infertility in men and women and to boost vigor and strength. Tribulus is frequently used to promote fat loss.

TestoRipped website

The official TestoRipped website is heavy on marketing and thin on detail. The FAQ section is very limited and there are no before and after photos accompanying the small number of testimonials. No details of the manufacturer are given and contact information is limited to an email address. In addition, there is no information provided as to the country of manufacture and quality control procedures involved in producing TestoRipped. No clinical evidence is presented supporting the product.

TestoRipped money back guarantee

TestoRipped is not backed by a guarantee.

TestoRipped conclusion

TestoRipped is not a regular diet pill and is not recommended for the average person looking to lose weight. Many user testimonials and consumer reviews support TestoRippeds’ claims of weight reduction, elevated stamina and energy levels, and improved muscle mass. However, there are also plenty of negative testimonials claiming no success with TestoRipped. Although TestoRipped does not contain ephedra it is a stimulant heavy diet pill. If sensitive to stimulants, this is a weight loss product that is best avoided.
