Animal Cuts Reviews
This product comes in a powder form and is to be taken twice a day. Created by Universal Nutrition, it was designed specifically for bodybuilders and those who are interested in weight training competitions. This product is not for the average everyday person who is looking to lose body fat. This product claims that it is a thermogenic product “unlike anything else out there” that uses thyroid stimulants, thermogenisis and diuretics. It is $53.96 for 42 packets and claims that is can reduce bloating, burn fat and even enhance your mood.
What are the ingredients?
Insitol Monophosphate-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
Choline Citrate-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
Betaine HCL-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
L-Theanine-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
Synephrine-synephrine is the active component that has been compared to ephedra. They claim that it will help you to burn fat, suppress appetite, and increase energy, all without the side effects of ephedrine.
Octopamine-a natural fat releaser, this has been known to induce cells to open up and release fat. However, other cells immediately reabsorb that fat, making it completely useless when it comes to weight loss.
Tyramine-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
Coleus Forskohli Extract-derived from Ayurvedic medicine, coleus forskohlii has been used to effectively burn fat with over 1000mg and no stimulants required
Guarana-used as a natural energy supplement, it is not effective in actually promoting weight loss without both damiana and yerba mate
L-Carnitine-a natural amino acid, there are many different ideas and advertisements about this. But it has not actually been proven to promote weight loss.
Guggul-guggul is an ayurvedic herb that has been used for thyroid health because of its high iodine levels. However, if the thyroid is healthy, it won’t make a huge difference in terms of metabolism, and if it’s not, you should be seeking medical attention. Guggul in the right way can also promote the building of lean muscle mass.
Soy Isoflavones-soy isoflavones have been used to imitate and mimic the benefits of estrogen. Therefore, it has been used successfully in some diet pills for women
Uva Ursi Extract-a natural detoxifier, if used on its own, it is generally nothing more than a diuretic, which can be harmful rather than helpful. But if used correctly in combination with the right cleaners in general, it can have a healthy detoxifying effect on the body.
Dandelion Extract-a natural detoxifier, if used on its own, it is generally nothing more than a diuretic, which can be harmful rather than helpful. But if used correctly in combination with the right cleaners in general, it can have a healthy detoxifying effect on the body.
Chromium Picolinate-meant to control and regulate blood sugar levels to keep them from randomly spiking and then falling, chromium has been used successfully in combination with certain other ingredients to promote weight loss. However, on its own the effect is minor at best. It generally requires about 200mcg.
Alpha Lipoic Acid-a natural antioxidant, this has properties that benefit the skin, but not weight loss
Chromium Polynicotinate-meant to control and regulate blood sugar levels to keep them from randomly spiking and then falling, chromium has been used successfully in combination with certain other ingredients to promote weight loss. However, on its own the effect is minor at best. It generally requires about 200mcg.
Phosphatidylcholine-a major component of lecithin, this has been known to contribute to greater brain function and memory, but not weight loss
Inosine-a natural amino acid, this has been used to feed muscles, but not build them or promote weight loss
Ginger Root Extract-generally used to calm stomach upset, it does not necessarily directly control or promote weight loss.
Grapefruit Extract-a natural superfruit, this is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and other powerful nutrients meant for various purposes.
White Willow Bark-white willow bark is basically speaking a derivative of salicylic acid, and it works as a natural aspirin to reduce inflammation and pain. But that is not weight loss, it is meant more to fight the potential side effects of things like caffeine
Bitter orange extract-a formula including the active ingredient known as synephrine, this has been pushed as the alternative to ephedra. However, in this diluted form, you don’t necessarily get the powerful effects you are looking for. It would depend in part on the concentration of synephrine actually in the ingredient listing
Cocoa extract-a natural derivative of chocolate, this is the antioxidant responsible for the many health benefits they describe. It can be used for a number of different benefits and could complement good weight loss ingredients
Green tea extract-a thermogenic form of caffeine, it is also rich in antioxidants like EGCG. However, one should keep in mind that it requires at least 400mg of 50% caffeine considering the fact that caffeine is the actual fat burning component
Potassium Phosphate-an electrolyte that can be lost in the process, this makes everything a more pleasant experience and gives you nutrients in some ways that you need.
Magnesium Phosphate-an electrolyte that can be lost in the process, this makes everything a more pleasant experience and gives you nutrients in some ways that you need.
Bottom Line
We do not recommend Animal Cuts. Not only is there no money back guarantee, but there is nothing about this product that would lead us to believe that it is effective. They talk about it being designed specifically for bodybuilders, not for normal people who need help with weight loss, because they think that will draw you in. But frankly, bodybuilders would know that this would not actually work. We recommend a different weight loss product that can help with weight loss and that will give you your money back if you decide you don’t like it.
