In the supplement market, there’s no shortage of products that claim to be the perfect solution for weight loss. JYM Shred is no different.
JYM Shred is a fat burning, thermogenic supplement developed and marketed by Jim Stoppani, PhD in Exercise Physiology. While the creator of the product is a known name in fitness, JYM Shred is still a supplement that needs to be carefully examined before using.
JYM Shred is just one of the products manufactured by Stoppani Supplement Science; a company that also develops Jim Stoppani’s other product, JYM Pro JYM, a muscle development supplement. The key issue that many users are having with Stoppani’s products is that they are not manufactured from a GMP-certified facility.
In the supplement industry, supplement fraud is a real danger to all. To protect the health of the customers, and to boost the credibility of trusted providers, manufacturers are given the opportunity to send their products to measure and verify the nutrient content of their products. Having products that are not developed in a GMP-certified facility opens up risks for you as the user.
Even if the product doesn’t have a GMP certification, it doesn’t mean that the product doesn’t work. That’s why we have taken the liberty to do a little more digging into JYM Shred to see if there are any secrets that this company would want to hide from you.
Effectiveness
JYM Shred claims that it can send your metabolism into overdrive by crowding your system with different kinds of weight loss ingredients. As with many supplements, it’s quite difficult to attribute the outcome of your tests, especially with weight loss. Supplements alone are not enough to trigger the fat loss you want.
According to the product literature, JYM Shred claims that its three-step approach is enough to effectively lose fat. These are the stages of fat burning according to the website’s information page:
- Fat release- releases the fat for transport and shrinks the fat cells on your body.
- Transport – effectively transport your fat to parts of the body that need it the most.
- Burn – converting fat into energy
The science behind these stages is actually just the stages that your body goes through when you burn fat – even when you’re not using any kind of supplement.
Some of the reviews on JYM Shred contain complaints about vomiting and a burning sensation on the stomach. JYM Shred is basically a thermogenic, but with 4 doses in one day, consistent thermogenesis may lead to a systemic damage of internal organs.
Ingredients
According to JYM Shred’s website, the active ingredients on JYM Shred are:
- Acetyl L-Carnitine
- Green Tea Extract
- Caffeine
- Tyrosine
- Capsimax
- Advanta Z
Many other thermogenic supplements contain the said products, but concerns are likely to arise from the high caffeine content of the product. JYM Shred contains 200mg caffeine per capsule, and that would add up to 400mg of caffeine a day. To give you a better idea, a cup of coffee contains roughly 40mg of caffeine. That’s worth 10 cups of coffee a day. If caffeine makes you jittery, skip this product altogether. There are other products that contain less caffeine and more thermogenic ingredients that should kick your thermogenesis into high gear.
Pros of JYM Shred:
- Popular product
- Developed by a PhD in Exercise Physiology
Cons of JYM Shred:
- Manufacturing facility is not GMP-certified
- Too much caffeine
- Inconvenient dosage size (8 capsules a day)
- No guarantee at the product’s website
The takeaway
As a thermogenic, JYM Shred would impress anyone who’s not familiar with how a thermogenic should feel like. Increasing thermogenesis doesn’t have to rely on caffeine alone. There are other ingredients that can raise your body temperature and improve your natural fat burning cycle. JYM Shred is just too much of the wrong stuff that it puzzles many as to why it remains legal.
