Cannibal Claw

Cannibal Claw Review

Cannibal Claw is a fat-burning weight loss product, that claims to work by increasing thyroid activity. It contains an unusual blend of ingredients that are not commonly found in other products, and advises customers to take a set number of capsules per day on the basis of their current bodyweight. This unique approach is said to result in fewer “jitters” than we normally associate with fat burners, a welcome characteristic in a market dominated by stimulants and dodgy side effects!

This thyroid-boosting fat burner is produced by Chaos and Pain, a supplement manufacturer known for its zany packaging designs and interesting approach to naming products. Chaos and Pain have some of the weirdest branding strategies we’ve ever seen, giving otherwise innocuous pre-workout supplements names like “Cannibal Ferox” or “Cannibal Riot”. Their brightly coloured and stylised bottles are decorated in much the same way as a heavy metal fan might spray paint their van, adorned with beautifully-drawn skulls, crying angels, and other eye-catching imagery. Unsurprisingly, the company also sells a line of t-shirts. Customers can contact Chaos and Pain using the contact form provided on the official website, or can email the company at [email protected], phone them on 1-855-798-6039 or reach them by post at 5149 Selkirk, Birmingham, AL 35242.

What Does Cannibal Claw Claim To Do?

Cannibal Claw is said to help customers lose weight through its ability to activate the thyroid gland. By speeding up and increasing the activity of the thyroid, this product claims to have an indirect fat-burning effect that can induce weight loss and boost the metabolism. On 3rd party retailer websites, some sellers also claim that the use of N-Caffeoyl Dopamine effectively increases cAMP levels (an intercellular messenger that may help to burn fat), as well as having an anti-catabolic effect (which means that it can effectively minimise the rate at which muscle is broken down).

Does Cannibal Claw Work?

The ingredients used in Cannibal Claw have very little in the way of detailed scientific evidence to back up their use as a diet aid. What we do have suggests that the key ingredients should boost cAMP levels and the functioning of the thyroid gland, both of which are associated with fat-burning and the raising of the metabolism. On balance, it’s fair to consider that this mix of ingredients could work in theory, but the lack of knowledge about how they work means that we can’t be sure if this product is dosed correctly, or if customers are instructed correctly on how/when to take the capsules. We know it’s a cliché, but more research is badly, badly needed, for safety as well as practical reasons!

It also must be said that there are pretty much no reviews online to check, which means that customers can’t even fall back on reading about the experiences of others.

So, does it work? We feel most comfortable standing alongside the evidence provided by real studies, and conclude that we simply don’t know.

What Are The Ingredients of Cannibal Claw?

The ingredients found in Cannibal Claw are detailed below. The ingredient quantities listed below are correct for 1 capsule.

• N-Caffeoyldopamine 75mg: According to one 2005 study, this compound is thought to increase cAMP levels. cAMP is a “messenger molecule” that is mainly associated with boosting cognitive function. However, studies have also found associations between raised cAMP levels and stronger heart muscle contractions, relaxed arteries, increased insulin secretion, and increased lipolysis (fat breakdown). Whether this significantly contributes to accelerating weight loss is unknown. Source
• Bioperine 6mg: Bioperine is a patented black pepper extract which increases the bioavailability of some compounds and medications, including caffeine, increasing their absorption rate. This makes them more effective, but also increases the chances of accidental overdose and the potential for side effects. Source
• Methylcobalamin 0.093mg: Vitamin B12 is naturally present in many foods, primarily meat, fish and dairy products. It has several roles, including aiding in releasing energy from consumed food, and keeping the nervous system healthy. It may be that a deficiency hinders weight loss, although deficiencies are extremely rare. Source
• 3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine 0.34mg: This thyroid hormone metabolite has been found to cause fat loss and an increased metabolism in studies on mice. However, it’s success has been found to be dose-dependent, and it is still highly unclear what dose is needed to produce results in humans (if, of course, the results seen in animal trials apply to humans). Source
• 3,5-Diiodo-L-Tyrosine 0.075mg: This is also a metabolite of the thyroid hormone, and supplementation has also been found to stimulate the synthesis of thyroid hormones. This means that it likely has the same basic effects as the above ingredient, although it is similarly poorly understood and has not been researched thoroughly. Source

Does Cannibal Claw Have Any Side Effects?

Cannibal Claw contains a set of relatively uncommon and poorly understood ingredients. As such, it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to know how it will affect dieters in the long-term.

The evidence that backs up N-Caffeoyldopamine, 3,5-Diiodo-L-Tyrosine, and 3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine as fat burners is thin on the ground, and the researchers writing these studies all freely admit that they have no idea how supplementing them will affect dieters in the long-term. It is theorised that artificially messing around with the functioning of the thyroid gland will inevitably affect the functioning of several of the body’s organs (not just the fat cells), which could have unforeseen knock-on effects.

Are There Any Customer Reviews For Cannibal Claw?

Chaos and Pain products tend to suffer from a relative lack of buzz online, and Cannibal Claw is no exception. We were unable to find virtually any comments discussing this product, and the two reviews mentioned below represent all that was available (we tend not to count reviews posted on official product websites and pages as experience shows us that these are often faked or altered by the manufacturer). As you can see below, both comments are broadly positive, although there is clearly not enough information out there to make conclusive judgements.

I have been using “claw” for about 2 and 1/2 weeks, I like the way it works in that I don’t necessarily get buzzed or have a crash as with other products like a thermo, and i have dropped some weight too like 4 lbs, however I also started a new diet so the next 2 weeks should confirm the effectiveness. But I like it so far.

Good product. Works very well in a short time

Does Cannibal Claw Offer a Money-Back Guarantee?

It’s tricky to say whether Chaos and Pain offer a true money back guarantee, as they fail to detail their policy anywhere on their website. The sentence quoted below is literally the company’s entire returns policy in full:

“Chaos and Pain offers a 100% money back guarantees as it stands behinds the quality of its products!!”

As regular readers will know, we only consider a money back guarantee as such if it offers customers a full refund within a reasonable time on all opened products (even if customers are expected to pay the cost and bear the risk of shipping the item back). If looking to return Cannibal Claw, it might be worth dropping an email to the company to receive the details of their returns policy in full.

Where Can I Buy Cannibal Claw?

Cannibal Claw can be purchased on the official Chaos and Pain webstore, Power Myself, MZ Store UK, and Supplement Central.

A standard 60-capsule pack of Cannibal Claw (which should last from 7 days to 1 month depending on your weight) costs $39.99 on the official Chaos and Pain website, and $31.99 on Supplement Central. As usual for Chaos and Pain products, this supplement is far cheaper when purchased in the UK for some reason – the same pack costs £23.99 when purchased from the Power Myself webstore.
