Shred Ultra is a Target Response Fat Incinerator & Adaptogenic

SHRED-ULTRA is our super strength fat burning formula that combines powerful thermogenic ingredients for maximum energy, appetite suppression, mental clarity and fat burning with high potency adaptogenic herbs for comprehensive adrenal support.  All stimulant fat burners exhaust the adrenal glands by causing a down regulation in adrenaline production through over stimulation called adrenal fatigue.  Avoiding down regulation in adrenaline production is imperative to avoid elevated cortisol levels from the negative feedback loop. The lower adrenaline levels fall the higher cortisol levels rise. SHRED-ULTRA is the only high stimulant fat burner on the market to provide ample support to the adrenals for incredible sustained energy production, mental clarity and focus and stabilized stress hormone levels.

SHRED-ULTRA combines the powerful adaptogens Ashwagandha (10:1), Siberian Eleuthero (50:1), American Ginseng (4:1), potent adaptogenic Ginsenosides (80%) from Panax Ginseng with a potent building block of adrenaline, Pantothenic Acid to provide comprehensive support to the adrenal glands for healthy energy and lower cortisol and stress levels. The adrenals are taxed heavily everyday due to the intake of stimulants and the constant burden of our stressful lives. The continuous stress on our adrenals causes them to overwork thus down regulating and becoming sluggish. This adrenal down regulation adversely affects everything from hormones and energy levels to mood, sleep and mental clarity. SHRED-ULTRA provides potent adaptogens (compounds that help the body adapt to stress) to fight adrenal fatigue and bring balance and synergy to the SHRED-ULTRA product. The Adrenaline-XS blend allows SHRED-ULTRA to stay active longer creating a sustained thermogenic effect combined with smooth all day energy without a crash.    

If you've tried other fat burners only to have their effects fade rapidly leaving you feeling tired and sluggish, then it's time to try SHRED-ULTRA!  Shred-ULTRA combines the power and energy accelerant Caffeine with PEA (phenylethylamine HCL), Theobromine, Synephrine, Coleus Forskohlii, Raspberry Ketones and Krebs Cycle Chromium to create a powerful metabolic stimulating thermogenic blend for maximum fat burning, energy, focus, appetite suppression and metabolic support.   PEA (Phenylethylamine) is a monoamine naturally derived from the cacao (cocoa) bean involved in elevating mood, focus, mental alertness, concentration, energy and an overall sense of well being. PEA enhances the transmission of dopamine and norepinephrine and acts as a stimulant to the AMPA receptor increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain. PEA has the ability to provide energy and clarity without building tolerance or making you crash.  Synephrine stimulates the beta-3 receptors with minimal impact on the other receptor sites, functioning to increase the metabolic rate like ephedrine (ephedra) without adversely affecting heart rate or blood pressure or building tolerance. Synephrine stimulates the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline only in the beta-3 receptor sites (mostly adipose tissue and the liver). Stimulation of the beta-3 receptor sites elicits the breakdown of fat. Synephrine is used to activate the adrenaline system without the stimulatory effect posed by ephedra-based products, so it is much safer on the adrenal glands than ephedrine.

Coleus Forskohlii (Standardized for Forskolin) produces its effects by modulating one of the most widely recognized intercellular messenger systems in the body, adenyl cyclase, which converts directly to cAMP (cyclic AMP). cAMP enhances the action of epinephrine on glycogen stores in the liver and muscle cells and enhances the action of the enzyme lipase which breaks down fatty acids. Additional pharmacological benefits of Coleus include bronchodilation of lung tissue and strengthening the contraction of cardiac muscle. Both of these effects lead to an increased oxygen intake and availability. Increasing the available oxygen allows the body to break down more fats and carbohydrates for energy which will lead to some wonderful benefits during any physical activity or for weight loss. Studies also show forskolin to have a positive influence on hormonal balance.

Raspberry Ketones are the aromatic compounds in red raspberries and have a powerful metabolic effect. Though they are structurally similar to synephrine and capsaicin, raspberry ketones work differently. Synephrine stimulates the beta-3 receptors (beta agonist) where raspberry ketones work by increasing norepinephrine induced lipolysis through their effect on HSL. Studies show that this is due to raspberry ketones' ability to influence the enzyme HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase) to relocate (translocate from cytosol) into the fat cell breaking lipid droplets down into fatty acids in preparation of fat metabolization.  More HSL equals more lypolysis! Studies also indicate that raspberry ketones may prevent fat synthesis as well as prevent large increases in serum triglyceride levels after a high fat meal.
Theobromine is the naturally occurring "feel good" alkaloid found most concentrated in the cocoa bean. Unlike caffeine, theobromine has three methyl groups instead of two (no it's not liver toxic), and the presence of the third methyl group slows the rate in which theobromine is metabolized and cleared from the body making theobromine is a longer acting methylxanthine compound than caffeine. Although theobromine is related to caffeine and exerts similar effects, theobromine does not stimulate the central nervous system. It instead induces muscular relaxation of the smooth muscle tissue. The addition of Theobromine brings balance, long lasting smooth energy, clarity and relaxation to Shred-ULTRA.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) also known as Indian Winter Cherry and Ayurvedic Ginseng, is renowned and prized as a potent adaptogen. In the Indian Ayurvedic it is used in promoting rejuvenation, mental and physical health, as well as providing a defense against aging and challenging environmental factors. Ashwagandha has been shown to increase energy levels in as little as a week's time.  Ashwagandha root displays powerful antioxidant properties and has been shown to protect brain cells from oxidative damage caused by exposure to stressors. In one study, Ashwagandha reduced the number of neurons damaged due to oxidative stress by 80%. In a second placebo-controlled study, men and women given an extract of Ashwagandha root showed improved mental skills by performing better in reaction times, mental arithmetic and logical deductions. Ashwagandha is also a powerful supporter of the immune system increasing phagocyte activity aiding in destroying and removing toxic pathogens from the body.

Panax Ginseng (Asian Ginseng) has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine and is one of the most coveted adaptogens used today.  Panax is prized for its Ginsenoside content which is responsible for its adaptogenic, immunological, nourishing stimulant, metabolic, aphrodisiac, stamina and anti-oxidant effects. Ginsenosides can be stimulating yet calming and are traditionally known as Yang (hot) producing. The Panax used in Shred-XS-Hardcore is standardized to a minimum of 80% ginsenosides for maximum potency and effect.

American Ginseng (Panax Quinquefolius) is a potent ginseng grown in North America and mostly shipped to Asia where it is revered as the powerful adaptogenic Yin (cold) counterpart to Panax ginseng.  In traditional Chinese Medicine balance and harmony is always sought and hot must always be balanced by cold. American ginseng displays tremendous adaptogenic capabilities and is a cooling and welcome addition to Shred-XS-Hardcore.
Siberian Eleuthero (formerly Siberian Ginseng) is cooler and less stimulating than Panax ginseng but may be more adaptogenic and immune system supporting. Many athletes world wide use Eleuthero to enhance focus and stamina as well as aid in recovery from strenuous exercise.  As with Ashwagandha and American Ginseng, Siberian Eleuthero was added for its ability to cool off and smooth out the effects of the stimulants allowing for longer lasting metabolic effects without building tolerance or accelerating adrenal fatigue.

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) has long been a favorite among athletes. Not only is it required for adrenaline production, it also plays a vital role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, helping to supply the body with energy. It is a member of the B complex vitamin family and is called the Anti stress Vitamin' because of its role in relieving stress. Pantothenic acid along with vitamin c and cholesterol are required for the normal adrenaline production and functioning of adrenal glands.  Moreover this vitamin takes part in many chemical reactions in the body through which energy is released. Pantothenic acid also removes toxins from the body. There is no storage form for this vitamin. So it has to be provided through food or supplementation.

We've also added our Biosorb-XS blend to Shred-ULTRA to further maximize the effects of the other potent ingredients. Calcium carbonate, Ginger Root and White Willow Bark help Shred-ULTRA kick hard and remain strong long after most products would have faded away.    For additional adrenal support SHRED-ULTRA may be stacked with Cordygen5 for extreme adaptogenic protection.

FAQ's

Q: What is the best way to use Shred-ULTRA for optimal fat burning?

A: Make sure you assess your tolerance one capsule at a time and aren't exercising in high heat conditions. For maximum fat burning results Shred-ULTRA should be taken with Cordygen5 for increased oxygen utilization.  The higher your oxygen utilization that more effectively your body will burn fat.  Not only will this stack help you burn more fat than with Shred-ULTRA alone the addition of Cordygen5 will make cardio feel sooooooo easy! Many athletes incorporate Carnage into this stack as well.

Q: What sets Shred-ULTRA apart from the other fat burners on the market?

A: Adrenal support!  Not only will the energy be smoother without a crash but you won't develop a tolerance to the product after two weeks like all other diet and weight loss products.  Adrenal fatigue leads to increased cortisol levels and hormone imbalances.  This is why 99% of fat burners on the market fail to deliver long term results. Shred-ULTRA is the only fat burner on the market to address the problem of adrenal fatigue making them safe and effective for long term use.

Q: Is Shred-ULTRA safe?

A: Yes, when taken correctly and not abused Shred-ULTRA is safe for men and women alike, especially when compared to the vast majority of high stimulant fat burners that are used daily without adrenal protection. With that being said, Shred-ULTRA should NOT be used with other stimulants including caffeine and you should read all of the warnings and suggested use on the label before use.

Q: Will Shred-ULTRA make me jittery or over stimulated?

A: Possibly.  Shred-ULTRA has a stronger stimulant & thermogenic effect than the original Shred-XS or Shred-Hardcore. You should assess your tolerance one capsule at a time and never exceed the recommended dose. You may experience the jitters if you take it on an empty stomach.  For most, the energy tends to be very smooth, clean and long lasting due to the adaptogenic content. If jitters or nervous energy become a problem reduce the dose or take it with food.

Q: Will Shred-ULTRA make me crash after taking it?

A: You should not experience the normal "crash" associated with other products.  The adaptogens provide support to the adrenals for a smoother let down that fades much slower than conventional stimulants.

Q: Will Shred-ULTRA cause sleeplessness?

A: Yes, it can, but; It completely depends on the individual and how close to bedtime it's taken. If it's taken too close to bedtime then sleeplessness could occur. We advise allowing at least four to six hours between your last dose and bedtime.

Q: How long can I take Shred-ULTRA?

A: Shred-ULTRA can be taken for longer periods than the typical high stimulant thermogenic that doesn't incorporate adrenal protection.  You will find that you can take Shred-ULTRA for extended periods and not build a tolerance to it.  After 8-12 weeks of consecutive use we advise discontinuing the product for 2-4 weeks before resuming.

Q: How much weight will I lose with Shred-ULTRA?

A: That completely depends on you and your lifestyle.  There is no such thing as a magic weight loss bullet.  We obviously recommend combining Shred-ULTRA with a healthy diet and exercise program for best results. Q: Can Shred-ULTRA be stacked with other Millennium products?

A: Yes, Shred-ULTRA is completely compatible with the entire MST line of products except RagNOrok-ULTRA (caffeinated version) due to its caffeine content.

Q: Can I use Shred-ULTRA with other fat burners?

A: As long as it is stimulant free.  Always do your research on ingredients that are compatible to take with Shred-ULTRA?.
