Cellucor : Cellucor C4 Ultimate Shred Fat Burner

Cellucor C4 Ultimate Shred is now available in capsules! The formula contains the finest patented thermogenic ingredients such as Capsimax® Cayenne, Oligonol®, clinically studied DygloFit™, and Bioperine® to improve uptake.

Not only is it an impressive fat burner, it doubles up as a powerful pre-workout with performance and focus from caffeine, CarnoSyn® Beta-Alanine, Nitrosigine®, and Zembrin®.

Beta Alanine helps buffer lactic acid in muscles so you can train hard for longer. In the gym, it seems to be especially beneficial when working in an 8-15 rep ‘hypertrophy’ range. Beta alanine can cause the mild ‘tingling’ effect that certain pre-workouts have. This is what makes Ultimate Shred ideal for before training! The clinical dose of 3.2g is included here. Caffeine is a popular stimulant used for both performance boosting and fat burning properties.

Caffeine works on the central nervous system so we can get heart rate higher and expend more calories while working out. A controlled dose of caffeine while dieting can allow you to get further into a calorie deficit and maintain performance even on low calories. 350mg is a pretty heavy amount so we would recommend against consuming additional caffeine throughout the day.

Alpha-GPC is a nootropic. It is a natural source of choline to the brain. Alpha-GPC has benefits to performance such as it can increase maximum power and velocity and cognitive benefits include slowing decline and anecdotally improving focus in otherwise healthy individuals.

We’d advise implementing this in the latter stages of a diet when energy and focus start to dwindle. Perfect to use before fasted cardio or an early training session!
