It is a dietary supplement in capsule form from the Stacker2 brand, a name that has been well-known for years. Each capsule contains caffeine and a fixed mix of herbal extracts. Stacker4 is the ephedra-free successor to the original Stacker formulas and is sold in a bottle of 100 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in Stacker4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition of Stacker 4 revolves around two components. The first is caffeine anhydrous, a concentrated form of caffeine in powder form. The second is a herbal mix of green tea extract, yerba mate, guarana, capsicum, kola nut and Siberian ginseng. Caffeine also occurs naturally in coffee beans, tea leaves and guarana seeds. In Stacker4, it is included both as pure caffeine and through those plant-based sources. The capsule itself is made of hypromellose (plant-based). The manufacturer does not disclose the exact dosage per herbal extract, because they are in a fixed mix of 250 milligrams. However, the caffeine content is listed separately, because that is legally required for these types of amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA high dose of caffeine per capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people want to know about Stacker4 is how much caffeine is in each capsule. The answer: 300 milligrams per capsule. That is a high amount, comparable to about three cups of coffee in a single capsule. Precisely because of that content, it is important to stick to the indicated dosage and not just take multiple capsules at once. People who are sensitive to caffeine will clearly notice such a dose. For comparison: a regular cup of filter coffee contains around 90 milligrams of caffeine. Three capsules a day, the maximum indicated by the manufacturer, therefore come out to 900 milligrams. That is why it is wise to count your own caffeine intake from other sources as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe herbal extracts in the blend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to caffeine, Stacker4 contains a blend of plant extracts. Green tea and yerba mate are leaves that have traditionally been brewed as tea. Guarana is a seed from the Amazon that naturally contains caffeine. Capsicum is the substance from Spanish pepper that provides the spicy taste. Kola nut comes from the kola nut tree and Siberian ginseng is a root, not to be confused with the Panax ginseng you find in other supplements. Green tea and guarana naturally provide part of the caffeine content, while capsicum is known for the spicy substance capsaicin. The extracts are combined into a fixed mix, so that every capsule contains the same ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEphedra-free for years\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Stacker products used to contain ephedra. That substance is no longer allowed in supplements in Europe. Stacker 4 is therefore formulated completely without ephedra, with caffeine and herbal extracts as the base. The product is marketed in Europe by Stacker2 Europe and is one of the best-known names in its category. The capsule form makes it easy to dose, without having to weigh or mix anything.

The \u003cstrong\u003eRIP Burner\u003c\/strong\u003e by German Elite Nutrition combines green tea, caffeine, L-carnitine, raspberry, citrus aurantium, and black pepper in a plant-based capsule. A daily serving of six capsules provides 240 mg of caffeine. The capsules are vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, and are intended for adult athletes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in RIP Burner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula revolves around several well-known sports supplement ingredients. Green tea extract is standardized to 50% EGCG, the plant compound for which green tea is known. Most people know caffeine from coffee and tea; there is 240 mg in this daily serving, which is a substantial amount. L-carnitine is a substance your body produces itself and is also found in meat. It also contains raspberry extract, citrus aurantium (bitter orange), and black pepper extract with 95% piperine. Raspberry extract is obtained from raspberries and is a staple in this type of formula. You may know citrus aurantium as bitter orange, a citrus fruit that appears more often in sports supplements and naturally contains synephrine. In this way, RIP Burner combines in a single capsule substances that you would normally get from very different sources. The full composition per daily serving is listed in the ingredients and nutritional value table below, so you can see exactly how many milligrams of each ingredient you are getting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaffeine in RIP Burner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, this is a formula with a large dose of caffeine. The 240 mg per daily serving is comparable to two to three cups of coffee, so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to caffeine. Green tea also naturally provides a small amount of caffeine, which you can add to those 240 mg. Because the dosage is high, it is best to start low, for example with three capsules, to see how you react to it. Do not take it late in the day, because caffeine can interfere with your sleep. And do not combine it with coffee, energy drinks, or other sources of caffeine, otherwise your total intake during the day will quickly add up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eL-carnitine, green tea, and black pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the caffeine, RIP Burner contains three ingredients that you more often encounter in this type of formula. L-carnitine is included as L-carnitine tartrate, with 1500 mg per daily serving. It is a substance your body can produce itself from two amino acids and that you otherwise mainly get from red meat. Green tea extract is generously included at 1500 mg per daily serving and is standardized to 50% EGCG, which amounts to 750 mg of EGCG. And then there is black pepper extract, standardized to 95% piperine. Piperine is the plant compound that gives black pepper its sharp taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse around your workout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRIP Burner is intended for use around your workout. On training days, take three to six capsules about half an hour beforehand. On rest days, divide them between morning and afternoon. You do not have to take the maximum right away: with three capsules you are already at half the caffeine. The capsule itself is plant-based, made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and therefore RIP Burner is vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free. One bottle contains 180 capsules, enough for 30 full daily servings of six, or longer if you use a lower dosage. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, and keep it out of reach of children. Because the caffeine dosage is high, this product is not intended for children, pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRIP Burner by German Elite Nutrition is a vegan capsule with a substantial dose of caffeine, green tea, and L-carnitine, intended for adult athletes.

German Elite Nutrition's CLA softgels deliver 1000 mg of conjugated linoleic acid per softgel. A daily serving of three softgels thus amounts to 3000 mg. CLA is a fatty acid from the omega-6 family that is usually extracted from plant-based safflower oil. One pot contains 240 softgels. It is a product that athletes often take alongside their daily diet, in a fixed quantity per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly CLA is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCLA stands for conjugated linoleic acid. It is a fatty acid that naturally occurs in small amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminants, such as beef, cheese, and milk. In supplements, it is usually extracted from safflower oil, a vegetable oil from the safflower plant. Safflower, also called thistle oil, is a crop from which linoleic acid is concentrated into the CLA-rich oil in these softgels. The difference with regular linoleic acid lies in the structure of the molecule: in CLA, the double bonds are in a different place, and that is exactly what the word conjugated means. These shifted bonds make CLA a separate group of fatty acids with different variants, called isomers. The oil extract in these softgels is standardized to 80% CLA isomers, including the well-known c9- and t11-forms. Among athletes, CLA is one of the more popular fatty acid supplements, often taken alongside the daily diet. Because the effect of CLA is not listed as an approved claim in the EU database, we only describe what it is and how it is structured here. Good to know: the amount of CLA you get from regular food is relatively low, especially if you eat little meat or dairy. A supplement provides a fixed, much higher amount per day, so you know exactly what you are getting. That is the reason for many users to choose a softgel instead of getting it from food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1000 mg per softgel, 3000 mg per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl occupants per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach softgel contains 1000 mg of conjugated linoleic acid. Three softgels per day add up to 3000 mg of CLA, the amount you often find in this type of product. The softgels are gluten-free and lactose-free and contain no magnesium stearate, colorings or flavorings. The softgels have a common size that most people swallow without difficulty. You take them spread throughout the day with water, for example around meals. Many users take one at breakfast, one at lunch, and one at dinner, so that the intake is spread throughout the day. There is no fixed time; choose what fits into your routine. A pot with 240 softgels lasts well over two months when taking three per day, so one pot will last you for a considerable period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a softgel and not pure oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA softgel is a soft capsule in which the oil is enclosed. This is convenient for a fatty acid that you would otherwise have to take as a liquid. Many people find a neutral softgel easier than a spoon of oil: you don't have to measure anything or mix anything into your food, and you don't taste the oil. Moreover, the oil is protected in the casing, so you don't make a mess and the amount per dose is always the same. This way, you get a fixed amount each time. In short, the softgel form makes daily intake easier than loose safflower oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoftgel made from bovine gelatin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant to know: the shell of the softgel is made from bovine gelatin. This product is therefore not vegan and not vegetarian, even though the CLA fatty acid itself is of plant origin. In addition to gelatin, the shell contains glycerol as a plasticizer, which keeps the softgel flexible. Gelatin is the most commonly used material for softgels because it encapsulates the oil well and seals it from air. Each batch is produced in Europe under HACCP and GMP standards and tested for, among other things, heavy metals and microbiological purity. These standards describe how a production facility must manage hygiene and control, so that every pot has the same quality. In short, this is a high-dose CLA with 1000 mg per softgel and 3000 mg per daily serving, in a pot of 240 units. When making your choice, take into account the bovine gelatin, as this makes the product unsuitable if you want to avoid animal ingredients. Those who have no objection will get a neat, laboratory-tested form of CLA with a clear content per unit with these softgels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47273534062930,"sku":"gen-034","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gen-cla-240-capsules-met-elk-1000-mg-hoge-do-1.jpg?v=1793634792"},{"product_id":"luto-cla","title":"CLA 3000mg (80% Conjugated Linoleic Acid) | 90 Softgels | LUTO Supplements","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCLA 3000 mg Softgels with 80% Conjugated Linoleic Acid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you delve into sports nutrition, you have probably already come across the abbreviation \u003cstrong\u003eCLA\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The difference with regular linoleic acid lies in the position of the double bonds in the molecular chain.

The L-Carnitine Triple Complex by German Elite Nutrition combines three forms of carnitine in a capsule. A daily dose of four capsules provides a total of 3000 mg of carnitine compounds, consisting of acetyl-L-carnitine, L-carnitine tartrate and L-carnitine fumarate. One bottle contains 120 vegan capsules, enough for 30 daily doses.

Your body produces it itself from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and it is also found mainly in meat; the name comes from the Latin word for meat. There are currently no approved European health claims for L-carnitine.

Acetyl-L-carnitine is L-carnitine with an acetyl group attached to it. L-carnitine tartrate is carnitine bound to tartaric acid (tartrate), a form that is often found in sports nutrition. L-carnitine fumarate is carnitine bound to fumaric acid. In all three cases, it is the same carnitine, only attached to a different partner. By combining them, you get carnitine from multiple sources at once, without having to purchase three separate bottles. In practice, each form has its own supporters; with this complex, you do not have to make that choice. Furthermore, the formula contains no unnecessary additions such as separate fillers or anti-caking agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3000 mg per daily dose of four capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose consists of four capsules that together provide 3000 mg of carnitine compounds, divided among the three forms. This amounts to 750 mg per capsule. Because the dosage is already in the capsules, you do not have to weigh or mix anything yourself, as is the case with loose carnitine powder. The capsules are vegan: the shell is plant-based and contains no gelatin. This is not a given with carnitine products, because carnitine has traditionally been associated with meat. However, the carnitine here comes from a production process without animal-based raw materials, making the product also suitable for a plant-based diet. A bottle of 120 capsules lasts exactly one month at four capsules per day, after which you can reorder on a regular basis. Because everything is already measured out, you know exactly how much carnitine you are getting with each dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow athletes use L-carnitine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost users take four capsules per day with enough water, spread out or all at once. Many athletes choose to take them around their workout, although there is no fixed recommended time. You can also spread the four capsules throughout the day, for example with two meals. L-carnitine combines perfectly with other parts of a sports nutrition routine, from a pre-workout to a post-workout protein shake. Take the capsules as a supplement alongside a varied diet and stick to the stated daily dose. Four capsules per day is the upper limit indicated by the manufacturer; do not exceed this daily amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is L-carnitine in three forms, with 3000 mg per daily dose and 120 vegan capsules per bottle.

Of that, 735 mg is stated as polyphenols and 338 mg as EGCG, which stands for epigallocatechin gallate. These are catechins, a group of plant compounds that occur naturally in the leaf. What many people do not know: the percentages on the label mainly indicate the standardization of the extract. Here, it is 98% polyphenols and 45% EGCG. This allows you to see at a glance how the extract is composed, without having to calculate individual percentages yourself. For comparison: a regular cup of green tea contains, depending on the brewing method, roughly several tens of milligrams of catechins, while this capsule provides hundreds. This difference in concentration is exactly why the usage guidelines for an extract are stricter than for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 338 mg of EGCG per day stands out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose is simple: 1 capsule per day. This amounts to 338 mg of EGCG. That is an amount that requires you to take the safety instructions seriously, especially if you use other green tea products in addition. In short: count your total intake. The European food safety authority has assessed catechins from green tea, paying particular attention to the daily amount of EGCG. The label of this product therefore states the limit of 800 mg of EGCG per day. By keeping it to one capsule, you easily stay below that. The manufacturer advises taking it with breakfast. Do not take this extract on an empty stomach. This advice is consistent with concentrated catechins, because taking them without a meal can be less pleasant for some people's stomachs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference with a cup of green tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is especially suitable for someone who is not looking for a blend, but for a single plant extract with a clear composition. You do not get a long list of ingredients with all kinds of extra substances. The focus is on this single green tea extract, on the polyphenols, and on EGCG. The capsules are plant-based and the extract is presented as caffeine-free on the packaging, which distinguishes it from a regular cup of tea. Nevertheless, it remains a highly concentrated extract. Therefore, do not see it as a replacement for regular green tea, nor as a product to take in unlimited amounts alongside other green tea products. The difference lies in the concentration: a capsule is compact and measurable, while a cup of tea can differ greatly in composition depending on the brewing method, temperature, and steeping time. Good to know: this product is presented as caffeine-free, while regular green tea naturally contains caffeine. That is one of the clearest differences between this capsule and a cup of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the usage guidelines mean for you\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith green tea extract, making the right choice is not just about milligrams. The usage instructions are at least as important. Do not use more than 1 capsule daily and do not combine this product on the same day with other products containing green tea. Do not use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and not for anyone under the age of 18. If you are taking medication, have liver problems, or are in doubt, it is wise to consult a doctor. Furthermore, do not take it on an empty stomach. This supplement is not a replacement for a varied diet and a conscious lifestyle. Good to know: the bottle contains 180 capsules. With the stated use of one capsule per day, that is 180 daily doses, so approximately a half-year supply with one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, this is a single, highly standardized green tea extract with 750 mg per capsule, 735 mg of polyphenols, and 338 mg of EGCG. Because those numbers are listed separately on the label, you know exactly what you are getting and can easily compare it with other extracts. For those looking for an easy-to-understand plant extract and who take the usage guidelines seriously, this is a compact choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53938260771154,"sku":"gen-008","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gen-gen-green-tea-extract-750-mg-1.jpg?v=1793634794"},{"product_id":"stacker-3-xplc","title":"Stacker 3 XPLC | 100 Capsules | Stacker2","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStacker 3 XPLC from Stacker2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are familiar with the Stacker range, you will surely know the name. \u003cstrong\u003eStacker 3 XPLC\u003c\/strong\u003e is the capsule from that range with a fixed dose of 300mg of caffeine and a herbal mix of 275mg. There are 100 capsules in the jar. This is the European version, without ephedra, which Stacker Europe brings to market from Sittard. Interesting if you are looking for a strong caffeine capsule and want to know exactly what is in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in a Stacker 3 XPLC capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule consists of two parts. The first is anhydrous caffeine (caffeine anhydrate, a dried and concentrated powder form of caffeine). There is 300mg of this in a capsule. The second part is a herbal mix of 275mg. In that you will find green tea and white tea, both leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis with 60% polyphenols (plant substances that are naturally in tea). Furthermore, the mix contains guarana, yerba mate, kola nut, capsaicin, Siberian ginseng and 6,7-dihydroxybergamottin. Good to know: the manufacturer only states the total of the mix, not the amount per herb. That is called a blend. So you know exactly how much caffeine you are taking, but not how much guarana or yerba mate is separately in it. The capsule itself is made of gelatin and has a colored coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e300mg caffeine, how much is that actually\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder how much caffeine is in Stacker 3 XPLC. The answer is on the label: 300mg per capsule. That is a lot. A regular cup of filter coffee contains around 90mg, so one capsule is equal to more than three cups of coffee at once. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets 200mg as a single dose and 400mg per day as the upper limit for adults. So one capsule is already above that single dose. The manufacturer states a maximum of three capsules per day, but that amounts to 900mg of caffeine. Therefore, in practice, it is better to stick to one capsule and count your coffee, tea and energy drinks. In short: this is not a capsule for those who are sensitive to caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy grapefruit and chili pepper are in the mix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo names in the herbal mix stand out. Capsaicin is the substance that gives chili peppers their spicy taste. In your mouth, it stimulates the same nerve endings that also react to heat, which is why spicy food feels hot. The second is 6,7-dihydroxybergamottin, a substance from grapefruit. What many people do not know: that is the same substance that makes it so you cannot drink grapefruit juice with certain medications. It inhibits an enzyme in your intestinal wall and liver that breaks down certain substances. As a result, those substances stay in your body longer. Precisely for this reason, it is wise to first consult your doctor or pharmacist if you use medications. Siberian ginseng, by the way, is a different plant than the Panax ginseng you see in many other products. The Latin name is Eleutherococcus senticosus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe place of XPLC in the Stacker range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Stacker products from the United States used to contain ephedra. That plant is no longer allowed in food supplements in Europe. Stacker2 Europe therefore released its own versions with caffeine and herbs as the base. Stacker 3 XPLC is one of them, along with Stacker4, for example. The difference lies mainly in the herbal mix. In this capsule, besides green tea, there is also white tea, and the grapefruit substance dihydroxybergamottin only appears in the XPLC formula. The caffeine content is 300mg per capsule for both. The label of these caffeine capsules does not mention any vitamins or minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStacker 3 XPLC is therefore mainly a caffeine product with a herbal mix around it. Anyone who compares the composition with other Stacker variants will see that the caffeine remains the same and the mix makes the difference. Take the label as a starting point and add up your total caffeine in a day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stacker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54999561404754,"sku":"Stacker-002","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/Stacker-002.jpg?v=1791540393"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/vetverbranders.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
