Metabolism Support
Ripped Femme Supplement Review
Ripped Femme: Making Strong Women Stronger
Although Ripped Femme is one of the newer players to the supplement game, it’s already coming out swinging with two incredible, home-run fat-burning products! The first is called Ripped Femme Metabolism Support, the second is called Ripped Femme Estro Therapy. Their formulas are similar in that both focus on fat burning but they attack fat from different angles. Women and men metabolize and burn fat differently from a physiological perspective, and now finally Ripped Femme has come out with products to reflect those differences. Like Arnold and Franco, or peanut butter and jelly, each of these fat-burning products is amazing on its own, but when you stack Ripped Femme’s Metabolism Support with Estro Therapy, you get a much more effective one-two punch fat-burning punch!
This supplement review will focus on Ripped Femme Metabolism Support, which is the first fat burner specifically formulated to target a woman’s unique hormones and subsequently help her metabolize fat. It’s a given that a woman’s endocrine system functions differently than a man’s, so Ripped Femme came out with Metabolism Support to work with the female body. The goal is to reduce the amount of estrogen, but also rebalance it, in order to enhance fat burning. This is why there are several complexes in this product: to hit the metabolism and the endocrine system from different angles.
Metabolism Support Under the Microscope
Metabolism Support has two potent complexes: the Estrogen Metabolizer complex and the Fat Metabolism Complex. Clearly this product is focused on one thing and one thing only (as evidenced by the title): metabolizing fat! Setting your fat on fire, and shredding you up. What I love about both products is that Ripped Femme tells you exactly how much of each ingredient is in the complex. This is called “transparent labeling,” and it’s one of the reasons I loved Ripped Femme, because I know what I’m getting and can verify that they’re using specific clinical doses of the ingredients to do what they’re supposed to.
First complex: Estrogen Metabolizer
The primary ingredient in this one is indol-3-carbinol (I3C). I3C is a compound derived from the breakdown of an indole glucosinolate, a sulphur-containing compound found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli. I3C has been shown to have a positive effect on estrogen metabolism, neutralizing harmful estrogen metabolites and balancing the ratio of estrogen in the body.
Second complex: Fat Metabolism
The ingredients in the Ripped Femme Metabolism Control Fat Metabolism Complex aren’t unique or revolutionary, but they are tried, tested, and true. This complex is dosed according to clinical research on fat loss, and their efficacy is supported by science.
- Sweet red pepper extract - Also known as Capsiate, this ingredient increases body temperature, which may be induced by capsiate’s stimulation of the vanilloid receptors. It also increases oxygen consumption and adrenaline release.
- Caffeine - It stimulates the central nervous system, heart and muscles. Caffeine also increases the release of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and dopamine.
- L-carnitine L-tartrate - This ingredient can improve fat loss and muscle growth. Carnitine helps shuttle free fatty acids into the mitochondria so they can be burned off as fuel, which improves fat loss, muscle growth, and glycogen storage.
- Green tea extract - Green tea can help boost metabolism and 24-hour energy expenditure. It can also help stimulate the release of norepinephrine.
- Olive leaf extract - This can increase thyroid function and boost norepinephrine levels, thus increasing calories and fat burned. Oleuropein (active ingredient derived from olive leaves) can increase uncoupling protein levels in fat tissue, which obviously influences fat metabolism.
- Vitamin B12 - B12 has a direction role in protein and fat metabolism, meaning it helps the body convert fat and protein into usable energy.
Everything you’re familiar with and nothing you’re not. Simple and perfect. They all help increase thermogenesis and metabolic rate. These ingredients are great on their own, but have a synergistic effect on fat burning when combined.
How to Use Ripped Femme’s Metabolism Support
According to the label, you should take one capsule with food three times daily, every three to four hours, as needed. Taking fat burners or prescription medications with food helps slow down the absorption rate to help deliver a smooth, steady, energy - as is the case of Ripped Femme Metabolism Support. This delivery method also helps preserve the active compounds in the formula, as the food helps to shield the formula from the acids in your stomach which are involved in digestion. The net result is more complete active ingredients getting to your liver. Keep in mind that Ripped Femme Metabolism Support has a very powerful formula, and as such, it’s meant for occasional use only - So consult a medical doctor or qualified health care practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks.
Final Thoughts on Ripped Remme Metabolism Support
I’m a huge fan. The caffeine was a phenomenal addition, especially when I’d take my midday “serving.” That little boost was just what I needed, without getting me jittery or affecting my sleep. I just made sure not to take it any later than 4 p.m. or so. I was informed that this product was best stacked with Ripped Femme’s Estro Therapy, so I took both of them daily for four weeks straight. As the instructions say, it’s for occasional use, but what they mean is that you shouldn’t stay on Metabolism Support for an extended period of time. You can (and should) take this daily, but stop after four to eight weeks. Don’t miss doses; it’s less effective that way! I’m a fan—5 gold stars for sure for Ripped Femme’s Metabolism Support!
