Serving Size (caps) 2 Servings Per Bottle 60 Coleus Forskohili 166mg guarana 200mg mahuang 20mg citrus aurantium 5mg Ingredients: Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Ginger Root, White Willow Bark Extract, Cayenne Fruit. Coleus Forskohili - this is a herb that's been used in Indian medicine for centuries. It's mainly used to relax the airways in your lungs to help breathing. It also elevates cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) levels, which regulate active enzymes required for cellular energy transfer. It also helps lower blood pressure. Citrus aurantium - also known as bitter orange, Citrus has been used in Chinese medicine to treat chest congestion. Citrus aurantium has a rare combination of 5 amines: synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamine, and tyramine, which "stimulates beta-3 cell receptors" that could lead to increase in your metabolic rate without affecting heart rate or blood pressure. The added benefit of Citrus aurantium is this ability to stimulate beta-3 cell receptors, which helps breakdown fat, increase energy, and increase metabolic rate, hence making thermogenesis more effective. Studies show that Citrus aurantium may also act to suppress appetite. I should point out that the biggest benefit of Citrus aurantium is that several compound found in Citrus aurantium are structurally similar to ephedrine and act as stimulants, but these do not appear to have the same negative side effects of ephedrine. You will notice that Ripped Fuel Extreme contains only 20mg of Mahuang, while Ripped Fuel contains 334mg of Mahuang. Citrus aurantium is very much hyped, alot of how it works are still theories and speculation, and lacks thorough scientific research. So, as good as it sounds on paper, keep a skeptical eye open. Aside from these, Ripped Fuel Extreme contains green tea extract and ginger root - the effects of which you can read more about in our Xenadrine EFX review. Please note: Both ripped fuel and ripped fuel Extreme has been discontinued by Twinlab. Ephedra has been banned by the FDA, and all ephedra based fat burners are no longer marketed.
