Ingredients:
- Caffeine Anhydrous (150 mg): Caffeine is a well-researched thermogenic compound that can increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Research suggests an effective dose for fat burning is around 3-6 mg/kg body weight. For a 70 kg individual, this would be 210-420 mg. The dose here is on the lower end.
- Advantra Z (30 mg): This is a patented form of bitter orange extract, standardized to synephrine. Studies suggest that 10-20 mg of synephrine may increase metabolic rate. The 30 mg dose is within an effective range.
- Green Tea Extract (250 mg): Standardized for EGCG, green tea extract is another thermogenic compound. Effective doses range from 400-500 mg of EGCG, so 250 mg of a generic extract may be underdosed unless it is highly concentrated.
- Raspberry Ketones (200 mg): There is limited evidence supporting raspberry ketones' effectiveness in fat loss in humans. Most studies are on animals, and even there, the doses are much higher than those typically found in supplements.
- Capsicum Annuum (100 mg): Capsaicin from chili peppers can increase thermogenesis. Research shows that 2 mg of capsaicin can be effective, but it is unclear how much is standardized in this extract.
- L-Tyrosine (200 mg): Tyrosine is an amino acid that can support mental focus, especially under stress. Effective doses are generally higher, around 500-2000 mg.
- White Willow Bark Extract (100 mg): Used as a natural form of aspirin, it may potentiate the effects of other thermogenic compounds. Research suggests a dose of around 240 mg is more effective.
- Ginger Root Extract (100 mg): Ginger can support digestion and may have some thermogenic properties. Effective doses are generally around 1-2 grams, so this is underdosed.
- Black Pepper Extract (5 mg): Piperine enhances the bioavailability of other ingredients. Doses of 5-10 mg are effective.
- Summary: Magnum Heat contains several effective ingredients for fat burning, but many are underdosed. The combination may provide some thermogenic benefits, but the overall effectiveness is likely moderate.
