Sculpt Nation Burn Evolved Review

What about the burn evolved ingredients?

For the next part of our sculpt nation burn evolved review we'll take a deep dive into the ingredients. And as we stated before, the ingredients in burn evolved aren't bad, they're just outdated or belong in a much cheaper alternative. 

Green tea extract - This is fine, but it's a bit of a padding ingredient. Studies have generally shown it has a mildly positive effect in lowering the bodies ability to process fatty foods that you've eaten. Green tea is an ok start to the burn evolved fat burner ingredients list.

Apple cider vinegar powder - This is actually a little interesting, a lot of people will have heard the old wives tales about apple cider vinegar reducing appetite. The question is how much truth is in this? Well some it seems[1], but the studies are relatively limited. And there have been some rodent studies that show it breaks down fat cells and can lower insulin levels (which could favour fat burning[2], but the jury is mostly out). That said, taking apple cider vinegar powder in a weight loss pill is a lot more pleasant than on a tablespoon.

Grains of Paradise Seed - The claim is that paradise seed extract activates brown adipose tissue[3] (which is responsible for your body feeling cold) and if your body thinks it's cold it will try to heat itself up. Which in turn should use calories. And the studies show that it does do what it claims, what sculpt nation burn evolved don't mention in the marketing however, is that this effect is negligible in terms of caloric burn. 

Caffeine - Caffeine is caffeine, it works, it does suppress appetite and does help you lose weight, but caffeine pills are a lot cheaper than burn evolved. So, we can't give too much credit for this. 

Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract - We're ok with cayenne pepper extract, it's a relatively common ingredient in fat burning supplements, it's quite well studied and does a positive effect[4]. It' improves fat oxidisation rates and helps people keep weight off, however, the supplementation volume needs to be around 10mg/2lbs of body weight. Meaning that the average man needs 900mg a day, and there isn't enough in most fat burners for the greatest effect. 

Yohimbine Hydrochloride - This is another stimulant, so if you're working out, trying to keep energy levels high whilst cutting or looking to simply raise your NEAT it will help a bit. However, Vitamins B6 and B12 do the job better, so Burn Evolved misses a trick here. It also doesn't really contain any ingredients that are going to help with food cravings.
