Burn Lab Pro Review

Burn Lab Pro Ingredients

Burn lab pro's ingredients list is geared towards individuals who train hard, if you've been hitting the gym and hit a plateau, then it's probably a good place to look to help your fat loss goals, that said, it isn't going to be the best fat burner for less active people.

Forslean - From forskolin extract gained a bit of traction after it appeared on the Dr Oz show, where to be quite honest it was oversold in it's efficacy. Forskolin stimulates the release of fat from fat cells[1]. And at the time there was little evidence beyond animal studies to back it up. It's come on a little bit since then, and does seem to be effective, but it is by no means a one stop shop for weight loss. It does however raise fat burning potential when combined with anaerobic exercise, but it isn't going to magically get rid of your fat cells.

Capsimax - Cayenne pepper extract has been used in fat burners for quite a while now and it's one of the ingredients that has actually stuck around. That's because it works quite well, it sort of tops out quite quickly and falls foul of the law of diminishing returns. But, it does raise thermogenesis quite effectively. It seems that cayenne pepper extract, capsaicin the active ingredient showed in several trials that fat oxidization improved in individuals that were previously following weight maintenance diets[2] and it's been replicated to do so, it's just not a huge difference in results. Think maybe an extra 1lb a month, which is great. But, not going to make all the difference in the world. It also has some mild appetite suppression effects.

HMB - Hydroxy ß Methylbutyrate has been shown to be effective at retaining lean muscle mass in multiple scenarios, this includes mandated bed rest, and has even been trailed alongside cancer treatments. The optimal dosage has not yet been determined although this could be up to 38mg[3] per kilo of bodyweight, the dosage in Burn Lab Pro is within the well tolerated range for all people, large men could possibly benefit from taking an extra pill per day for maximum effect. The current dosage would be optimum for people weighing between 120-140lbs (which realistically means women in most cases). There seem to also be some other beneficial effects to HMB, including improvements to cholesterol and other blood markers. On top of this, it has also been shown to give athletes an improved ability for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise[4] in double blind trials, this means that you can push workouts harder and burn calories for longer.

Bioperine - Bioperine's main function is that it helps the body absorb the supplements that it's being given more effectively, it's in a lot of the better fat burning supplements on the market. 

GTF Chromium - GTF Chromium is a newer ingredient that's started appearing in fat burning supplements. It has some great potential, but most of the studies have so far been in animals with human tests being relatively small. It seems to improve lipid (fat) metabolism, and improve insulin and blood sugar levels (which should help with cravings), but it's still a bit too unstudied for us to give it the complete thumbs up.

As we can see Burn Lab Pro gets a lot right, and honestly if they added a general appetite suppressant, not just a craving suppressant, then we'd probably give it our best fat burner overall. It only really fails in that it tries to keep its serving size down to 3 capsules a day, whereas they could have potentially added caffeine anhydrous and glucomannan for extra energy and appetite control. That said, there is no reason to say that it couldn't be taken alongside another fat burner such as instant knockout, which uses an almost completely different ingredient set designed more for energy and appetite control for potential increase in fat burning efficacy.
