Fat burners

Fat Burners: Stacker, RIP Burner, CLA and More

Fat burner is a collective term in sports nutrition for supplements that athletes use during a period when they are working on their body composition. The term says nothing about the effect of an individual product. Therefore, always look at the actual composition, dosage, and warnings on the packaging.

In this collection you will find seven products from three brands: Stacker 3 XPLC and Stacker4 Ephedra Free from Stacker2, RIP Burner, Green Tea Extract 750 mg, L-Carnitine Triple Complex and CLA 1000 mg from German Elite Nutrition, and CLA 3000 mg from LUTO Supplements.

What is included in this collection?

The products in this collection range from single supplements, such as CLA and green tea extract, to formulas with multiple ingredients in one capsule, such as RIP Burner and the Stacker products. As a result, they differ greatly in composition and use. Therefore, compare them based on ingredients and dosage, not on the category name.

Stacker 3 XPLC and Stacker4 Ephedra Free

Stacker is a brand that has been well known in sports nutrition for years; the European versions are marketed by Stacker2 Europe and are free from ephedra. Stacker 3 XPLC and Stacker4 Ephedra Free each contain 300 mg of caffeine per capsule, supplemented with a herbal mix including green tea, guarana, yerba mate and kola nut. Both come in a bottle of 100 capsules. One capsule already contains more than the 200 mg that the EFSA maintains as a single serving for adults.

RIP Burner from German Elite Nutrition

RIP Burner is a formula from German Elite Nutrition with green tea extract, caffeine, L-carnitine tartrate, raspberry extract, citrus aurantium and black pepper extract, in a bottle of 180 vegan capsules. A daily serving of six capsules provides 240 mg of caffeine. Start with a lower dosage, do not take it late in the day and do not combine it with coffee, energy drinks or a pre-workout.

CLA and L-carnitine

CLA, conjugated linoleic acid, is a fatty acid that is found in small amounts in dairy and meat from ruminants. You can find it here as CLA 1000 mg from German Elite Nutrition and CLA 3000 mg from LUTO Supplements. L-Carnitine Triple Complex from German Elite Nutrition combines three forms of carnitine, a substance that the body produces itself and which is also found in meat and dairy.

Green tea extract

Green Tea Extract from German Elite Nutrition contains 750 mg of extract from the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) per capsule, with 338 mg of EGCG. The extract is presented as caffeine-free. Use a maximum of 1 capsule per day, not on an empty stomach, and do not combine it with other products containing green tea, such as RIP Burner or the Stacker capsules.

Pay attention to caffeine

Stacker 3 XPLC, Stacker4 and RIP Burner contain caffeine. Add up the caffeine from supplements with what you consume through coffee, tea, energy drinks or pre-workout. Not recommended for children, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding. If you use medication or have doubts, consult a doctor first.

Nutrition and training remain the foundation

A supplement does not change your body composition on its own. A diet that suits your energy needs, sufficient protein and regular training form the foundation. Supplements do not replace a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Never exceed the recommended daily dosage.
