Overweight and obesity are defined as conditions of differing amounts of excess body fat. These conditions either cause or exacerbate an array of health and social problems. The scientists at Ultimate Nutrition researched this problem and developed a balanced thermogenic formula - Ultra Ripped.

Ultra Ripped available in:

Thermogenesis means the increase of the metabolic rate. Citrus aurantium delivers a unique combination of five adrenergic amines (synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamin and tyramine) to stimulate Beta-3 Receptors that increase the rate at which fat is released from the body stores (Lipolysis) and increase the resting metabolic rate. At the same time Garcinia Extract which contains (-) hydroxy citric acid (HCA), increases the production and storage of Glycogen while reducing both appetite and weight gain. HCA also causes calories to be burned in an energy cycle similar to thermogenesis. White Willow Bark Extract, standardized for Salicin, provides a synergistic action in elevating energy expenditure. Studies have shown that salicin when used in combination with other thermogenic supplements, helps promote increased fat oxidation.  Green Tea has been found to be an excellent source of natural caffeine, and potent Polyphenols (Catechins) especially Epigalloocatechin Gallate (EGCG). They activate the central nervous system, which elevates the body's ability to burn calories and unwanted fat cells through the thermogenic process. Similar to Green Tea, Brazilian Guarana, a great source of natural caffeine acts synergistically with other ingredients of Ultra Ripped, to promote thermogenesis, Ultimate Nutrition's Ultra Ripped ( Ephedra Free) Capsules, are manufactured under strictest Quality Control, to ensure your satisfaction.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is Thermogenesis and How Quickly Can One Expect Results? Thermogenesis is the body process that generates heat by using fats as a fuel. As such, thermogenesis is the body's way of disposing of excess calories so that they are not deposited as fat. Results vary considerably from individual to individual, and may range from immediate effects to several weeks. In addition, thyroid and adrenal conditions may inhibit thermogenesis.   What Causes the "Jittery" Feeling During the First Few Days Using Thermogenic? To begin with, it should be noted that not everyone experiences the "jitters" or the flush. Jitteriness suggests that the person may be using other sources of caffeine, such as coffee and cola drinks. In general, this feeling is resolves itself within a few days.   Should One Exercise While on a Thermogenic Program Such As Ultra Ripped? Taking Ultra Ripped will increase the effectiveness of most exercise programs. Exercise raises the core body temperature, which normally shuts down thermogenesis. Therefore, Ultra Ripped should be taken 3-4 hours before exercise. Alternatively, Ultra Ripped should be taken after the exercise when the body cools down completely.   Why Do Thermogenic Agents Cause Exhaustion? Exhaustion usually happens only in people with adrenal problems. To be effective, a thermogenic product is meant to deplete adrenaline stores, which causes a sense of exhaustion.   What Are the Side Effects of Thermogenics? While people react differently to thermogenics, most experience no side effects. A small percentage of people may become constipated. Therefore, generous amounts of water or other nutritious fluids should be consumed while on thermogenics, especially during the first few weeks.   What is the Best Time to Take Thermogenics? For optimal results on stored fats, thermogenics should be taken between meals. For maximal impact on dietary calories, on the other hand, they should be taken with the meals.
