TestoRipped ingredients

TestoRipped’s ingredients are:

Arginine AKG (100 mg): Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG) has been shown to increase nitric oxide (NO) levels. NO is a molecule in the cardiovascular system that transports oxygen, increases blood flow and delivers nutrients to skeletal muscle. AKG helps increase workout performance, which can result in increased muscle mass. In a clinical trial, subjects taking four grams of AAKG three times a day reported no significant side effects, had no changes in blood pressure or heart rate, and exhibited no abnormalities on standard tests for general health (Vacanti et al. Sports Nutr Rev J. 2004;1:S10-S11). Some doctors believe that people with herpes (either cold sores or genital herpes) should not take arginine supplements, because of the possibility that it might stimulate replication of the virus. No clear interactions between AAKG and other nutrients have been established. At the time of writing, there are no obvious drug interactions with AAKG.

Caffeine (150 mg): This compound is incorporated into many weight loss supplements. Caffeine can cause anxiety, jitters, headaches, diarrhea, insomnia and increased heart rate.

Cinnamon Extract (50 mg): Cinnamon is one of the oldest remedies used in traditional Chinese medicine for digestive support. 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. Chronic extensive surface ulcerations and lip swelling induced by cinnamon have been reported (Cohen and Bhattacharyya. J Am Dent Assoc. 2000;131(7):929-934). Fourteen cases of cinnamon-induced stomatitis have also reported (Miller et al. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1992;73(6):708-716.

Creatine Ethyl Ester (100 mg): Creatine is used as an aid for athletic performance and for muscle development in bodybuilding. Cramping and bloating are the most common side effects experienced by creatine users. However, with the more easily absorbed creatine ethyl ester form, these side effects may be eliminated or reduced.

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. One of the side effects of high dose Eurycoma root is that it can cause insomnia. Additional reported side effects are increased body temperature, restless and irritability.

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. No side effects have been reported for glutamine. This is not surprising considering the abundance of glutamine in the human body.

Guggulsterones 2.5% (15 mg): This ingredient is a patented extract of Commiphora mukul. Other common names are Gugalipids and Guggul. Studies have demonstrated that Guggal is safe and effective in lowering the various lipid fractions that are known to contribute to coronary heart disease.

Synephrine HCL (15 mg): Synephrine is derived from the Citrus aurantium plant. It can help boost fat burning, reduce appetite and increase energy. However, clinical studies have indicated that Citrus aurantium promotes a relatively small increase in thermogenesis. Side effects of Synephrine include dry mouth, headache, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia, tremor, blurred vision, increased heart rate and blood pressure. Synephrine may also make urination more difficult. Individuals with a history of high blood pressure, anxiety, urinary problems or cardiac disease are advised to consult a physician before taking Synephrine. In addition, combining Synephrine with other medicines with similar side effects could lead to dangerous complications.

Yohimbe (1.5 mg): This ingredient is a tree bark containing a variety of pharmacologically active chemicals. A number of studies support Yohimbe’s positive effect on weight loss, but its 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 could include anxiety attacks. At high doses, Yohimbine acts as a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor. MAO inhibitors can cause serious adverse effects when taken in combination with tyramine-containing foods (e.g. liver, cheese and red wine) or with over-the-counter (OTC) products containing phenyl- propanolamine, such as nasal decongestants and diet products. Individuals taking Yohimbe are warned to avoid these foods and OTC products due to the increased risk of adverse effects. Yohimbe should also be avoided by individuals suffering from hypotension (low blood pressure), diabetes, and heart, liver or kidney disease. Symptoms of overdose include weakness and nervous stimulation followed by paralysis, fatigue, stomach disorders and ultimately death.

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. Little is known about the long-term use of Tribulus terrestris consumption in man. As with most herbs, it is best to take breaks from use in order to minimize potential long term tribulus side effects. Side effects reported by Tribulus terrestris users include feeling warmer, slight elevation in heart beat and restlessness. These tribulus terrestris side effects are dose dependent and are more common at doses above 500 mg.

TestoRipped conclusion

TestoRipped is not a regular diet pill and is not recommended for the average person looking to lose weight. 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. However, there are many positive testimonials from people that have lost weight and gained muscle using TestoRipped, particularly those following sensible diet and exercise routines.
