Our Verdict On Jacked Factory NitroSurge Shred

From the outset, the ingredients in this supplement look ok. It contains some well-known ingredients, and we like the fact that the energy is provided by caffeine rather than any dangerous stimulants. In addition, it contains ingredients such as theanine and L-citrulline, which can be effective. We like that the ingredients list is provided, so you know exactly what you are taking, which many supplement manufacturers seem to avoid doing.

However, it’s just not effectively dosed to have much in the way of the desired effect. The amount of citrulline in the Nitrosurge shred is just a third of the optimal amount – if it is too small an amount to make any difference, why bother including it in the first place?

We also know so little about the company. We have established through research that Jacked Factory are based in Newfoundland, Canada, but we don’t know anything else about the company at all.

We think that there are so many better pre-workout supplements out there, so we do not recommend Jacked Factory Nitrosurge Shred to our readers.

Jacked Factory NitroSurge Shred Key Features

Jacked Factory Nitrosurge Shred is a fat burning pre-workout powder supplement. It apparently delivers everything that you need to ‘experience endless energy, sharp focus, increases in strength, skin-tearing pumps, and a thermogenic boost to burn fat faster while preserving lean muscle mass’.

It contains ingredients such as caffeine and beta alanine to give you that much-needed boost in the gym, as well as ingredients to help increase the amount of nitric oxide in your bloodstream. However, it appears that at least one of the key ingredients is seriously underdosed, and another lacks much in the way of scientific evidence to support its efficacy.

What Does Jacked Factory NitroSurge Shred Claim To Do?

Nitrosurge Shred claims to be highly potent thermogenic pre-workout fat burning supplement for men and women, that helps boost workout performance and fat burning using synergistic clinically-dosed ingredients. Some of the claimed benefits include:

• Explosive energy and laser sharp focus
• Burn fat and preserve lean muscle mass
• Increase strength, power and endurance
• Boost nitric oxide levels for powerful pumps

Does Jacked Factory NitroSurge Shred Work?

Nitrosurge Shred contains L-Citrulline, a popular ingredient in pre-workout supplements. It is supposed to help by improving muscle recovery, and because it is a vasodilator, it will improve blood circulation by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the amount of blood pumped to muscles. Some research shows that it may be useful for people suffering from high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, and diabetes. However, despite supplement manufacturers claiming that L-citrulline may improve energy and endurance, there is not a great deal of scientific evidence to support these claims. Some studies have highlighted a few positive benefits of L-citrulline, but they have used very large doses of the ingredient, usually over the 6g mark. As the Nitrosurge Shred only contains 2g, these benefits are likely to remain unseen.

The same can be said about beta-alanine. The evidence suggests that in large doses, there may be some increase in muscle pump and endurance, but the dosage is too low for this to happen.

Nitrosurge Shred contains stimulants as well. The caffeine content is quite high, and for a lot of people will improve concentration and focus to a certain extent. However, not everyone is going to experience these benefits. Many studies have shown no change in endurance and performance after taking caffeine. Most of the benefits of caffeine are for those people who do not consume it on a day to day basis in their diet. If you already drink coffee, this supplement probably won’t make a huge amount of difference to you in this respect. Your body gets used to the ingredient, and you would have to take dangerously high dosages for it to take effect. Theanine is thought to be a good ingredient to counterbalance some of the negative effects of the caffeine, and will help to promote the relaxation hormones serotonin and dopamine, but how effectively it will do this is not known.

It is marketed as a ‘thermogenic’ supplement, but other than the very small dose of bioperine, which is an extract from the black pepper fruit, there are no decent thermogenic ingredients in here. The main benefit from the bioperine is that it will help the body absorb the other ingredients more efficiently.

Overall, whilst the Nitrosurge Shred contains some popular pre-workout ingredients, it probably won’t have many noticeable effects.

What Are The Ingredients of Jacked Factory NitroSurge Shred?

These quantities are per each 8g scoop. Scoops can be doubled, if required and tolerance allows.

• L-Citrulline (2g): Citrulline is an amino acid made in the body, where it is converted to arginine and nitric oxide. It is a vasodilator, so will make blood vessels dilate, allowing better blood flow to muscles. However, the amount needed to cause an effect is around 6g, so it is extremely underdosed.
• Beta-Alanine (1.6g): Beta Alanine is a modified version of the amino acid Alanine, which in turn is a protein building block of carnosine. Carnosine is concentrated in the muscles, although it is also found in other parts of the body including heart and brain. There is a lot of evidence that improving carnosine levels via supplement use can help improve athletic performance and endurance. However, in doses over 0.8g, it can cause a rather odd tingling sensation in limbs and faces, which is harmless.
• Acetyl-L-Carnitine (as Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCL) (1g): There have been some studies that have shown that supplementation of acetyl-l-carnitine can reduce body fat. However, the strongest results were seen in the elderly. The ingredient can help to boost energy levels, and is used to treat fatigue.
• Caffeine Anhydrous (180 mg): Caffeine increases the speed of the metabolism, and provides the energy boost both which contribute to weight loss. However, it does not suit everyone and effects can wear off as you become accustomed to it. This is a relatively high dosage, and ‘doubling up’ on the dose of the supplement can take you to very close to the recommended daily dose of caffeine. It has a very mild thermogenic effect.
• L-Theanine (90mg): When a supplement contains caffeine, you’ll quite often find L-Theanine, because they work in harmony with one another. It balances out the caffeine rush by promoting serotonin and dopamine – the relaxation hormones.
• Theobromine (50mg): This is extracted from Theobroma Cocoa and is a mild stimulant. It works in the same way as caffeine, just much less powerful.
• Hordenine HCI (25mg): This ingredient works primarily through the release and protection of norepinephrine, which translates into increased metabolism, energy supply, and a decreased appetite.
• Bioperine (from Black Pepper Fruit Extract) (2.5mg): This is a patented ingredient that may increase the body’s ability to absorb other ingredients. It is the only thermogenic ingredient in the supplement, which works to increase the core temperature of the body, encouraging it to work harder and burn more calories to bring it back down to normal. However, this is a very low dose.

The other ingredients in the supplement are mostly natural and artificial flavors and sweeteners.

Does Jacked Factory NitroSurge Shred Have Any Side Effects?

Like all supplements containing a range of ingredients, it can cause some adverse effects in some people. Both L-Citrulline and Beta Alanine can cause some gastrointestinal side effects.

Beta Alanine is also known for causing paresthesia pins and needles type sensation in the limbs and face. This happens in doses over 0.8mg, this product contains double that. Whilst it is completely harmless, it can be unnerving if unexpected. The high dosage of caffeine can cause side effects such as increased heart rate and high blood pressure, insomnia and disruption to sleep patterns, anxiety, and feelings of jitteriness.

L-Theanine is also known for sometimes causing gastrointestinal side effects, and it can problems such as dizziness and headaches.
