Check out our highest ranking fat burner...

​

There's no doubt you've seen it all...

Fat burners that promise massive thermogenic effects, advertisements that show a shredded to the bone guy with a chubby guy as the before picture. 

Does it really work that well, you ask?

Probably not.

The truth is, most supplements out there are plain garbage.

And fat burners are one of the worst out there.

I know how you feel though, you've gone through all the Googling you can handle and you want the non-BS, non-biased picks of what really works out there. 

So we've picked out the best fat burners, separated them with what they are best for (focus, appetite suppression, euphoria, energy, etc).

Forget Mainstream Products... These Fat Burners Work

You don't want just any fat burner...

You want something that does what it says and lives up to its claims.

There are a number of ingredients that can help burn fat and boost metabolism but most burners make the mistake of mixing them without giving them much thought. 

When properly combined though, these ingredients provide a synergistic effect that help increase your metabolic rate and decrease fat storage without the risk of harmful side effects.

And even if you find a fat burner that have the "best ingredients"​, they may have under-dosed ingredients or could be made from low quality sources. 

Choose Your Destination

Forget other top 10 lists.

This is a buyers guide. It'll help you decide which fat loss product is for you. (We recently made a pure ephedra-based fat burners list in a separate guide)

You may want one that is stim free, strong energy or one that is balanced with both stims and non-stims. ​

High Energy Fat Burners

You're sick of feeling lethergic and you want something to get you up and running. 

You're in the right place then...

You can find two lists here, you can either pick to see the DMAA or Ephedra based fat burners.

Scroll down to see the DMAA list or click here to jump to the Ephedra list. ​

High Energy Fat Burners with DMAA

Yep DMAA is still around and you can take advantage of it as it's striving in the supplement business.​

If you don't know about DMAA or haven't tried it before, here's a bit about it...​

It's a powerful stimulant that has a structure similar to amphetamines (not like the one found in Craze).​

So it may give off a false positive if you're being tested for any reason (think of work, competitions, etc.).​

We like to stick to 60 DMAA and a maximum of 300mg of caffeine.​

Anything close to 70mg or higher usually just leads to nasty side effects like increased blood pressure and heart rate.​

Check out the best fat burners with the powerful stimulant below...​

• 65mg Thermo-Z Brand Ephedra
• Naringin

3. King Cobra by Blackstone Labs

Key Features:

• Trixanthin Complex 375mg (Ilex Guayusa, green tea extract, theobroma cacao)
• Eria Jarensis 150mg
• Paradoxine (300mg)
• Erythropalum scandens (50mg)
• 1,3 Dimethylamylamine HCl (45mg)
• Citrus Aurantium (42.5mg) (25mg synephrine)
• Yohimbe Extract (22mg)
• Capsimax
• BioPerine

King Cobra may only contain 45mg DMAA but that’s per one pill and there’s 60 servings in every bottle.

That means to get 90mg DMAA, you’d still get a full month supply.

We never recommend taking more than 75mg DMAA but if it’s spread across the day (say 1 serving in the morning and 1 serving in the afternoon) then it would be fine.

King Cobra is the first to include both eria jarenesis and DMAA in one formula.

Both of these ingredients can elevate mood greatly as they are both compounds with great euphoria effects.

With the combination of Capsimax and Paradoxine (grains of paradise), you’ll be in for some incredible heat burning effects, as these are both very thermogenic ingredients that can also decrease appetite.

When it comes to hardcore fat burners, King Cobra is one to try.

Your diet won’t have any effect on your energy and mood with the help of this strong fat burner.

2. Hydroxyelite by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals 

Key Features:

• 250mg garcinia cambogia extract
• 100mg caffeine

In fact, Hydroxyelite is an better version of OxyElite by adding in a hefty 250mg dose of Garcinia Combogia extract. 

DMAA is perfectly legal...

But you need to use this as directed, and not to exceed the recommended dosing.​

That being said, the focus, appetiete suppression and the eurphoric state that this puts one in is incredible. ​​

It does have a little dosage of caffeine but do not mistake this for a light fat burner. It is strong and is not for everyone. ​​

This is the next best fat burner after the removal of OxyElite...​

Synadrene is a very productive fat burner, it combines high energy and strong stimulants like DMAA with nootropics like sulbutiamine.

All of the ingredients work together to increase mental clarity and focus.

Now they don't disclose DMAA or any stimulants for that matter but they recommend no more than 3 pill per day.

Knowing Hi-Tech, that means it probably won't add up to more than 70mg of DMAA and 300mg of caffeine (usually for them).

So whether you're looking to shed away fat or remain productive while on a diet, you'll enjoy this fat burner....​

• 35mg DMAA (methylhexanamine HCl)
• 200mg phenylethylamine alkaloids 
• 25mg synephrine HCl
• 100mg caffeine 
• And more...

DMAA, ephredra, PEA alkaloids, can this fat burner get any better?​

Since it doesn't contain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norephedrine or methylephedrine, it's perfectly legal.​

This formula has been proven to be even more powerful than ephredrine itself. 

It contains both acacia rigidula and DMAA, as well as other fat burning compounds, this is may as well be better than any ephedrine-based formula.​

The acacia blend contains all your phenethylamine varieties for a mood and energy uplift.

If you want something that is more for energy and some mood, then Lipodrene Hardcore for you. However if you want something with more PEA varieities for mood and less caffeine, then you'll enjoy Stimerex Hardcore.​

1. Hellfire EPH 150 by Innovative Labs

Key Features:

• 150mg ephedra extract
• 150mg caffeine 
• 20 to 60mg DMAA (prop blend)
• Alpha Yohimbine
• Evodiamine
• And more...

If you like ephedra, then you sure will enjoy this. 

Containing 150mg of ephedra extract per pill, you're going to get a sum total of 450mg of ephedra in a day.

Of course you won't take that without building up to it.

So if you're a complete beginner, forget about this fat burner and find something that is less advanced. 

This is only for those who have experience with DMAA and ephedra based produ​cts.

Best Stimulant-Free Fat Burners 

Stimulants are only a part of the formula. There are not required to burn fat and increase thermogenesis.

There could be many reasons why you may opt for stim-free, including maybe you're already taking enough stimulants (from your pre workout or other sources like coffee).

There is also a fat burner is caffeine-free but contains other stimulants.

The stim-free fat burners we'll list below will work in different ways.

For each product, we'll go in detail on how they'll work...

1. Forskolin-95% by PEScience

Key Features:

• 200mg Hemerocallis Fulva
• 50mg Coleus Forskohlii

​

Forksolin supplements usually use are very weak extracts, but with this being at 95%, the popular extract should be much more potent.

They've taken two key ingredients from their Shift fat burner and packed it into this one.

You've probably seen Forskolin and may have even tried it.

It's getting more popular as it is seen as one of the best non-stimulant fat burners out there.

This also has Hemerocallis, more commonly known as Orange Day Lily, a fairly new ingredient that performs almost as well as Forskolin but isn't as effective.

Being a non-stimulant fat burner, you'd probably be wondering if this is any good.

PEScience is known for putting out quality products with proven formula's, so yes you should try this.

Most non-stim fat burners would not work as well as PES's Forskolin 95% here.

Plus this is easily stackable so if you're already taking a pre workout, this would be the perfect product to stack it with.

Budget Fat Burners

2. Hydroxycut Next Gen by MuscleTech

Key Features:

• 400mg green coffee blend
• 290mg caffeine

​

MuscleTech has taken a super popular fat burner and remade it into something better than the first.

What we thought was impossible was achievable for MuscleTech and they never fail to impress.​

Now this fat burner is more of a stim-bomb than anything else but they know that and that's what their consumers want.​

So they are supplying the demand.​

Compared to their Hydroxyelite Elite version, this uses much more green coffee extract and more stimulants.​

If you take 2 pills a day, then you're taking 580mg of caffeine, so eliminate all sources of caffeine while taking this unless you don't care about sleep. ​​

1. Forksolin by NatureWise

Key Features:

• 20% pure forskolin
• Added chromium for blood sugar control
• Affordable
• 30 day serving

​

Forksolin is one of the more popular fat burning ingredients.

It's known to be a very effective non-stimulant burner because of it's ability to reduce fat, while maintaining or even increasing muscle mass.

Forksolin works by increasing cAMP levels, which stimulates the same mitochondrial enyzmes used during exercise. This will increase muscle protein synthesis, so you'll continuously remain in a anabolic state even if you're dieting.

Best Appetite Suppressants 

You can't expect to lose weight without adjusting your diet.

But the problem is, our appetite can sometimes get the best of us and make us feel continuously hungry and this gets worse if you are reducing your calorie intake. ​

So, there are products that can help reduce your appetite but you still can't expect a quick fix without doing a bit of work yourself. ​

Increase Your Protein and Fiber Intake

4. Super HD Powder by Cellucor

Key Features:

• 160mg caffeine
• 150mg N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine
• 253mg ThermoSculpting blend

Cellucor has done it again. With C4 being a popular pre workout, their fat burner is equally as good.

It combines nootropics with a bunch of thermogenesis-inducing ingredients to keep you sweating all day long.

It suggests taking 1-2 servings so at the maximum serving, you'll get more than enough stimulants. You'll probably find 1.5 scoops to be an ideal serving.

All their flavors are fantastic, just as it is with their C4 pre workout. ​

Their​ pill version is good but it had a couple issues as if you took 2 servings then that would mean 320mg of caffeine and at that rate, you'd finish it well before 30 days. 

The powdered version solves all of that as you can adjust the servings with the scoop.

There is 4g of carbs but don't panic, as it's from a polydextrose fiber. It works well as a sweetener and it suppresses appetite quite well. ​

3. Diablo by ANS Performance

While it d​oes keep everything hidden in a prop blend, Diablo is a strong fat burner that will not leave you disappointed.

If we had to guess though, there has to be around 150mg of caffeine in here. ​

This fat burner is a full spectrum thermogenic that contains everything from diuretics to stimulant enhancing ingredient, octopamine.

This is available in both powder or pill but here we are featuring the powdered version.

​This is one of the few openly dosed fat burners out there as companies love to hide up what they put in. Which is unfortunate really. 

​If you have trouble dropping water, you'll enjoy this as it uses diuretic ingredients to help with that. 

Every one of the 40 servings will keep you motivated with the help of PEA and the feel extends with the help of octopamine. ​

1. BloodShr3d by Olympus Labs

Key Features:

• 250mg caffeine
• 400mg Sophora Japonica
• Eria Jarensis, J. Regia Extract, Alpha Yohimbine
• And more...

BloodShr3d was released just when we thought we couldn't find any strong powdered-based thermogenics.

Since Alphamine (but still available in limited quantities)  was reformulated, we were disappointed to say the least. 

So BloodShr3d is a savior here.

There are two versions here, War and Raw. The War version doesn't contain any form of Yohimbine while the Raw does. 

BloodShr3d (check out our review here) uses multiple fat burning ingredients to help shred off the fat.

The powerful combination of ingredients will have your appetite suppressed, mood uplifted and tons of focus and energy to go along with it.

It contains a full gram of green coffee which contains a very strong compound called chlorogenic acid. This compound helps stimulate the release of fatty acids. 

There are many ingredients here that will help turn the heat all the way up. 

Overall, BloodShr3d is a full spectrum fat burner that will not disappoint. ​

10. Formula 56 by Momentum Nutrition

Key Features:

• 600mg naringin
• 250mg caffeine 
• 250mg citicoline 
• 50mg forksolin 
• And much more...

Formula 56 looks like a simple formula.

It can easily be passed for an average fat burner.​

But the fact is that it's much more than what you see.​

In fact, this is one of the only fat burners that has so much naringin (a compound found in grapefruits).​

Naringin is a well studied polyphenol that increases energy by inhibiting PDE (phosphodiesterase) enyzmes.​

PDE is a naturally occurring energy inhibitor so really, you end up with a much higher metabolic rate as you'll have more energy.​

This is one of the best 'natural' fat burners since it does not rely heavily on stimulants, but rather on natural extracts such as naringin.​

9. Pyroxamine by Myokem

Key Features:

• 40mg grains of paradise
• 50mg theacrine
• 20mg evodiamine
• 100mg caffeine anhydrous

Pyroxamine is not your average fat burner. 

With a 100% transparent label, you're not left wondering what's inside.

While it may seem like you're only getting 100mg of caffeine in each servings, you're really getting much than you think.​​

It has 4 other stimulants that have their own metabolism boosting benefits and also work well when combined with caffeine.

​But it doesn't stop there. It also features compounds that'll rev up your metabolism and help you burn off fat.

The best part about Pyroxamine is its ability to increase focus and mental concentration.

It contains citicoline and huperzine A, which are both premium ingredients and have a synergistic effect in creating a tunnel-like focus. 

This means even if you're on the strictest diet, you'll be at the tip top of your mental state and be able to stay sharp while burning off fat.​

8. Chaos by Apollon Nutrition

Key Features:

• 1g Acetyl L-Carnitine HPLC
• 500mg Green Tea Leaf Extract
• 500mg L-Tyrosine HPLC
• 300mg Caffeine
• 60mg Synephrine
• 50mg Cayenne Pepper
• 50mg Theobromine HPLC
• 4mg Yohimbine

That formula looks quite familiar (Think ThermoFuel V9) but just a little different.

Chaos, Apollon Nutritions fat burner, contains 300mg caffeine and a gram of Acetyl L-Carnitine, a little more than ThermoFuel so if you prefer more caffeine, you’ll like this.

Dieting can be a bit hard on the mind and body but Chaos is a life saver as it can enhance both mental and physical performance throughout the day.

With the combination of L-Tyrosine and caffeine, you’ll feel more focused and in an uplifted mood with minimized stress.

The combination of synephrine, cayenne pepper, theobromine and yohimbine will have your fat in a state of chaos, literally.

On top of that, Chaos contains a hefty dose of green tea extract to keep fat burning away.

A new but effective fat burner, Chaos is one that will surely make leaning a little easier.

7. Shred JYM by JYM 

Key Features:

• 6 fully dosed, research-backed ingredients
• 200mg caffeine
• 1.5g of acetyl-L-carnitine 
• 50mg capsimax 
• 20mg synephrine (Advantra-Z)

It comes to no surprise that Stoppani's supplement has hit another top 10 list. 

Shred Jym is not only simple but it is dosed so each ingredient provides maximum fat burning benefits.

It's different than most fat burners as it has the full recommended dose of Acetyl-L-Carnitine ​(1.5g!) and 200mg of caffeine.

At first glance you may feel the blend is a bit on the short side, but it makes up for it by using full recommended dosages of ingredients.

Compared to Drop Factor by MTS, Shred Jym uses less synephrine and red pepper extract but compensates by using a massive dose of green tea and ALCAR.

6. Drop Factor by MTS

Key Features:

• 250mg caffeine (along with other stims)
• 150mg cayenne pepper 
• 125mg forskolin
• Healthy ORAC blend

Drop factor is a unique fat burner which has multiple, fully dosed, fat igniting ingredients. 

It's not only got effective stimulants for weight loss, but it's also got non-stimulant ingredients that are proven to work.​

The ingredients range from caffeine, cayenne pepper to coleus forskohlii (forskolin) and even an antioxidant blend.​

The ingredients range from caffeine, cayenne pepper to coleus forskohlii (forskolin) and even an antioxidant blend.​

Drop Factor is actually one of the first fat burners to use a transparent formula and began using forkskolin long before it turned popular.

The ingredients in Drop Factor work synergistically to burn fat, increase metabolic rate while decreasing appetite while minimizing common side effects that fat burners have (like elevated blood pressure and increased heart rate).​

5. PX PRO XANTHINE by FinaFlex

Key Features:

• Strong Mood And Thermogenics Blends
• 452.5mg Blend (Caffeine, Green Tea, Theobroma, Advantra Z, Alpha-Yohimbine, and more)
• 180mg Blend (Sulbutiamine, B-Phenethylamine Hcl, Schisandra Chinensis, Hordenine Hcl)

We’re the first to hate prop blends but the reviews and feedback on this fat burner is more than stellar, we just couldn’t ignore the rave about this…

Straight from the creators of the popular high stimulant Stimul8, Pro Xanthine is a unique thermogenic that uses all stimulants and uses hordenine to increase the effects of the ingredients (it’s a MAO inhibitor).

Xanthine also uses PEA to increase dopamine production so you stay in a good mood even if you’re diet is getting the best of you.

Alpha-Yohimbine is a little smoother than yohimbine.

It can increase blood flow and burns fat by using it as an energy source.

We have no idea how much caffeine is in this but we do know you should not use this fat burner if you’ve never used more than 250mg of caffeine with other stims in one sitting.

Since it is a prop blend, it’ll remain a little lower on our top 10 list.

But no mistake, this is clearly one of the hardest hitting standard fat burner we’ve seen to date. Pro Xanthine is not for the stimulant sensitive either.

4. Alphamine by PES (discontinued but still available in limited quantities) 

Key Features:

• 3g of stimulants and mental support
• Stronger than most fat burners
• HICA to preserve muscle mass
• Increases motivation

This here is one of the most popular fat burners today, and for good reason too. 

It doesn't just have caffeine and a bunch of random stims.

It's properly formulated and well thought out.​ (Though it's discontinued, it's still available to buy)

In addition to caffeine, it's also got PES's own patent extract of Yohimbe as well as Higenamine. ​​

It's selling point isn't only to shred away fat but to keep you anabolic and help you maintain your muscle mass with HICA (metabolite of leucine).​

With choline bitartrate you'll experience some great focus.​

So no matter how intense your workouts are, with HICA to keep muscles spared and choline to increase mental function, you'll no doubt be able to shred away fat while keeping your performance at 110%. ​​

While they did reformulate this for the worse, you'll still be able to find this stronger version, easily.​

Unlike most fat burners, this contains multiple nootropics so no matter how hard your diet and exercise is, you’ll continually be at the top of your mental game.

Creating a fat burner that doesn’t make you feel like you’re on crack isn’t rock science.

Genius BURN is caffeine free but contains a stimulant that is even better than the grandfather itself.

TeaCrine has been clinically studied to increase mental energy and can be taken continuously without build a tolerance.

You’ll also find Cognizin and iFAS503, both high quality mental enhancers that can increase fat burning and lipolysis.

Grains of Paradise extract is also in here to help encourage the body to use fat for energy.

It works by turning white adipose tissue into brown adipose tissue, while simultaneously increasing the bodys energy expenditure.

The pills are made with vegetable capsules and none of the ingredients are animal sourced so it is kosher, halal (but not certified) and vegetarian safe.

Revealing all their ingredients, not a single ingredient is hiding behind a prop blend, just like all their other supplements.

Containing focus enhancing ingredients, ThermoFuel V9 uses caffeine, L-Tyrosine, and high dosages of thermogenics to bring heat to a much higher level.

The caffeine blend consists of slow release dicaffeine malate and regular fast releasing caffeine.

Banana leaf extract is included to help keep blood sugar under control which is great to take before eating.

What makes this a hard hitting fat burner is that it contains a higher than normal dosage of Synephrine at 60mg with spicy cayenne pepper which is rated at 45,000 heat units!

ThermoFuel V9 comes in 2 versions, one for speifically dosed for women, and another for men.

Ladies, you can take the mens version but adjust the servings (take 2 instead of 3) so you are not taking more than what you handle.

ThermoFuel is one fat burner you’ll keep melting fat with.

Made for both women and men, this is something you should try if you’re trying to lean out.

Top 10 Hardcore Fat Burners (DMAA, Ephedra, etc.)

Alright we lied.

It's actually a top 11 list but that's only because the 11th fat burner is so good that we just can't remove it until we find something better to replace it with.

If stimulants are no issue and you are not drug tested, then you should be fine with any of these. 

The thermogenics may contain exotic stimulants, anything from DMAA, ephedra to regular stimulants that work just as well.​

11. Lean EFX by Formutech

Key Features:

• 1,3 Dimethylamylamine
• Green Tea Extract, Caffeine, Dandelion
• Cassia Nomame, 5-HTP, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, Panax Ginseng

Lean EFX has just been resurfaced, yes it's back from the dead and it's with the same formula it disappeared with. 

FDA tried to stop Formutech and it did, but this time they have Hi-Tech Pharma to back them up so they've proudly brought back the once popular fat burner.

While it is made out of 3 prop blends, the effects are strong as the ingredients are all thermogenics. ​

The dosage of DMAA, as with everything else, isn't disclosed but if we had to guess, it would be around 55mg, no less than 45mg. ​

Lean EFX is packed with research backed ingredients that help burn fat, increase BMR and temperature even if you're sitting still. 

It burns fat from all angles with different stimulants and will help suppress appetite. ​

We recommend grabbing this as the FDA can be a bit unpredictable sometimes. ​

10. Phenadrine by APS Nutrition

Key Features:

• DMAA
• Acacia Rigidula Alkaloids (various PEA derivatives)
• Methylsynephrine 
• And much more...

APS has some epic DMAA-based supplements, ranging from Mesomorph (read the review on Mesomorph here) to their strong fat burner, Phenadrine. 

Phenadrine is a simple but powerful formula that consists of DMAA, PEA alkaloids, synephrine, caffeine and a few other stimulants.

Everything is in a 750mg blend so dosages are not disclosed but it is strong stuff.

This uniquely made formula stimulates lipol​ysis by combining various stimulants that hit from different angles. 

The energy is right in your face, it hits hard but is potentiated by the other stims to help stimulate thermogensis lasting all day long.​

Phenadrine is like the light version of Lipodrene, without the ephedra and fewer stimulants are used.

9. Dexaprine by iForce

Key Features:

• 65mg DMAA
• 250mg caffeine 
• Thyroid support 
• Decreases appetite 
• Increases metabolic rate 

(5% off coupon code: FITFREK5)​

Dexaprine is jam packed with two strong stimulants; caffeine and DMAA.

A single pill contains 65 mg of DMAA, 250mg of caffeine: more than enough to increase thermogenesis and make you sweat buckets.

While it may seem awesome that this has DMAA, it's actually not it's strongest point.

It's got two, very effective metabolites of the hormone called triiodothyronine, which belongs to one of the main thyroid hormones.

​Both of these metabolites, 3,3 Diiodo L-Thyronine and 3,5 Diiodo L-Thyronine, increase metabolic rate, decrease appetite without having any effect on heart rate like regular stimulants might.

Since it's got the benefits of stimulants without the nasty side effects then it may appear more frequently in non-stimulant fat burners. ​

That's not all though.

Dexaprine also has bitter orange (30% synephrine) and theophylline (standardized from green tea). ​

Dexaprine is one strong fat burner so you'll want to start with half a tablet for a week before moving up to a full tablet.​

If you need more than a tablet and a half, then you need to consider cutting down on stimulants for a month or so. ​​

8. Synadrene by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals 

Key Features:

• DMAA 
• Green tea / caffeine
• Sulbutiamine (nootropic)
• Yohimbine
• And much more....

Hi-Tech has put together a formula that not only increases thermogenesis and energy, but also increases muscle cell size by stimulating glucose uptake with ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid).

Syndrene is based off a discontinued formula for another company but Hi-Tech has revived and improved it. 

The only drawback to this fat burner is that everything is undisclosed in a prop blend. 

Knowing Hi-Tech, this is still an effective formula and the total amount of the stimulant blend is 815mg... nearly 1 gram of thermogenics!

Combining DMAA, caffeine, green tea and yohimbine is quite common for such a hardcore fat burner but where this stands out away from Hi-Tech's usual fat burners is that this has thyroid support. 

Using a combination of thyroid hormone metabolites, triidothyronine (T2), it can suppress appetite and increase metabolic rate without affecting the heart, blood pressure or experience any side effects that stimulants commonly have. 

Overall, Synadrene can shred off fat, elevate metabolic rate and suppress appetite, all while keeping you in a good mood and energetic state.

7. Hell Fire by Innovative Labs

Key Features:

• 150mg ephedra extract
• 150mg caffeine
• 20-60mg DMAA (prop blend, unknown dosage)
• Alpha Yohimbine
• Evodaimine
• And much more...

Hellfire is one of the only fat burners that uses such a large amount of ephedra.

Currently, most fat burners we've found use about 25-75mg of ephedra (we've collected all the ephedra-based fat burners in this one list).

Here, Hellfire is packed with 150mg of the strong stuff!

Not only is it packed with ephedra, but it also uses DMAA, caffeine, alpha yohimbine and a bunch of other stims to keep you energized all day long.

If you were to take the max dosage with this (4 pills) you'd be getting 450mg of ephedra in a day. ​

But if you've never used DMAA or ephedra before, we recommend that you stick to only one or two pills for the first 10-14 days before increasing to 3 or 4.

6. Black Mamba Hyper Rush by Innovative Labs

Key Features:

• 65mg Ephedra (Thermo-Z)
• DMAA
• 150mg PEA Alkaloids 
• Naringin 
• Evodiamine
• And more...

Hyper Rush makes weight loss a breeze by using everything from mood enhancing PEA's to energy and focus driven DMAA. 

It also makes use of a blend of weight loss ingredients to further increase thermogenesis like naringin, evodiamine and ephedra (65mg of it!).

​Most ephedra-based fat burners settle for 25mg ephedra but here we have a giant 65mg dose of it. If you've ever wanted something strong with the popular ephedra ingredient, you'll want to take advantage of Hyper Rush.

It uses what is found in Eria Jarensis, N-Phenethyldimethylamine, a ingredient that is often called out to be a DMAA alternative but luckily we have DMAA in this formula as well. 

If you've never tried this, you'll want to start with one pill in the morning for the first week or two. And then you can go up to 2 pills, but never more than that!

Hyper Rush has everything to keep your appetite suppressed, energy levels heightened as well as improving mood and focus. ​

Blackstones isn’t only back in full gear but they’ve brought DMAA to life with a new and stronger than ever fat burner called King Cobra.

King Cobra is packed with thermogenics, fat storage blockers, mood elevating ingredients and strong stimulants like DMAA.

This fat burner is the first to have DMAA in combination with eria jarensis extract (the PEA-based mood elevator).

Having just 50mg less eria jarensis than Kraken (one of the only pre workouts containing a hefty dose of DMHA), you’ll get a nice flow of euphoria going as this is a long lasting version of PEA.

To mobilize brown fat and increase energy expenditure, Paradoxine and Capsimax are both included.

These two ingredients will increase thermogenesis and decrease appetite.

With 45mg DMAA, 25mg synephrine and a bit of Yohimbe, energy, focus and mood won’t be a problem even if your diet and cutting phase has the best of you.

King Cobra is easily one of the best fat burners we’ve seen so far.

Once it becomes widely available, it should be hitting the number 1 spot on this top 10 list or at least in the top 3.

While it may seem like 1,3 DMAA is banned, it's not. 

But you need to use this as directed, and not to exceed the recommended dosing.​

That being said, the focus, appetiete suppression and the eurphoric state that this puts one in is incredible. ​​

It does have a little dosage of caffeine but do not mistake this for a light fat burner. It is strong and is not for everyone. ​​

The stimulant, J. Regia Extract, is a special and customized stimulant that has potential for tunnel-like focus and mood support.​

2. Lipodrene by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals

• 35mg DMAA (methylhexanamine HCl)
• 200mg phenylethylamine alkaloids 
• 25mg synephrine HCl
• 100mg caffeine 
• And more...

DMAA, ephredra, PEA alkaloids, can this fat burner get any better?

​While you may have heard ephreda is banned, it's actually only the alkaloids that are truly banned.​

If it doesn't contain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norephedrine or methylephedrine then it's perfectly legal.​

You may be thinking... "What's the point?"​

Well this formula has been proven to be even more powerful than ephredrine itself. 

Research has been done by Hi-Tech proving that 250mg of acacia rigidula is even better for fat burning than ephedrine.

And since it contains both acacia rigidula and DMAA, as well as other fat burning compounds, this is may as well be better than any ephedrine-based formula.

Each pill contains 35mg of DMAA, 100mg of caffeine and 150 of acacia rigidula, so you'll really "feel" this working right from the first dosage. ​

This isn't just packed with stimulants and feel good PEA-based compounds.

Lipodrene is extremely well formulated as it contains everything from appetite suppressants, thyroid support and more.

Currently, there are a few versions of Lipodrene.

Check out the differences between the 4 versions:

If you've tried the original Lipodrene and thought that was some strong stuff, wait until you get your hands on the Elite version. 

Lipodrene Elite contains a newly used stimulant in fat burners, coca leaves extract.

​It's traditionally used for appetite suppression and energy so as you can guess, it's used here for the purpose of weight loss. 

One study ​found that its weight loss effects on rats to be incredibly effective and the best part is that it doesn't have any tolerance build up. 

Coca leaves extract alone will have some nice effects, but this formula has synergy as it's combined with DMAA, caffeine, PEA alkaloids and a whole bunch of other stimulants. ​

This has 30mg more DMAA than the original lipodrene but with the same amount of caffeine.

Ephedra wasn't really a major player for weight loss in the original as it didn't contain any ephedrine,​ the main alkaloid for ephedra's fat burning benefits. 

The added PEA alkaloid blend can replicate, or even outperform the weight loss effects of 30mg ephedrine, as research has proven. 

Mood support, appetite suppression and all day energy... It can't get any better than this.

Try Lipodrene Elite if you really want to get shredded!
