Cellucor Super HD

Cellucor Super HD Review

Cellucor Super HD is popular and has generated thousands of customer reviews and comments on various websites including Amazon, so it is a supplement that many people have heard of.

Cellucor Super HD is aimed at men and women who are serious about fitness and achieving a toned and defined competition ready body. If you do not work out or train, then this supplement will probably not be suitable.

Super HD contains two proprietary blends. The first is the Super HD Thermo Sculpting Blend which contains Green Tea plus Slimpro, a trademarked product composed of fish protein (cod). It also contains dandelion extract to help increase urination so you can shed water weight.

The other proprietary blend is Super HD Sensory Impact so as the name suggests is for its mental effects. This formula contains ingredients with a supposedly mood enhancing and energy boosting effect such as amino acid N Acetyl Tyrosine, powerful stimulant Yohimbe and Huperzine believed to increase Choline levels in the brain and strengthen neurological pathways.

Huperzine is becoming popular as an ingredient for nootropic supplements – products believed to boost mental functioning.

This part of the formula also contains Capsimax – a branded chilli pepper supplement which is marketed as a thermogenic and as a means of increasing serotonin levels.

The other ingredients are caffeine – so you should notice a boost to energy levels plus three B vitamins Niacin, Vitamin B6 and B12.

We covered Cellucor D4 Thermal Shock in a previous review and although we felt it had some good points, the risk of side effects was too high for us to approve it.

What Does Cellucor Super HD Claim To Do?

The advertising explains your needs:

You want to look unbelievable–toned and cut in all the right places. When it comes to weight loss, the focus is on the body– what you eat and how you workout. While both of these are important for weight loss, if you take a step back, you’ll notice there’s more to it.

It explains:

With each pound you shed, look in the mirror and the bigger picture becomes clearer. Weight loss involves the body and the mind. You don’t just love how you look when you lose weight, you also love how you feel.

There are five key features to Cellucor Super HD:

• Powerful Nootropics
• High-Powered Energy
• Helps Promote Fat Loss
• Helps Increase Fat Metabolism*
• Helps Promote Better Appetite Control

Super HD has a multidimensional formula with ingredients to help you look and feel your best.

None of these claims are proven and there are no links to clinical evidence or explanations about just how these effects will be achieved.

Does Cellucor Super HD Work?

Cellucor Super HD certainly causes side effects. It seems to work in a very unpredictable way and obviously does not suit everyone. It’s major effect is as a stimulant.

Some people are sticking to fairly intensive weight loss diets and combining it with exercise and this group seem to be losing weight. Many people are not sticking to the three capsules a day and find that taking just one capsule a day is helping their efforts too.

With nearly 2000 reviews on Amazon alone, the full spectrum of opinion is there. However the general consensus of opinion is that this supplement will cause side effects, and whether you feel this supplement helps you lose weight or just makes you ill will depend largely upon your own physical make up.

This supplement is potentially dangerous, so if you do use it, you will need to be very cautious.

It will not help permanent weight loss. There is no evidence that stimulant weight loss leads to long term weight loss and medical opinion is that the risk to heart health is the major concern.

What Are The Ingredients of Cellucor Super HD?

Cellucor Super HD is a weight loss/mood boosting supplement. Each capsule provides one serving.

• Niacin (10mg): Vitamin B3 is present in many foods including green veg and eggs. It is important for health and weight loss and can help lower cholesterol levels and promote heart health. The RDA is 35mg. Exceeding this can cause side effects such as skin irritation and facial flushing.

• Vitamin B6 (3mg): Vitamin B6 is involved in many aspects of the metabolism and vital for the breakdown of lipids.
• Vitamin B12 (250mcg): Water-soluble vitamin with an important role in healthy brain function. B12 deficiency causes loss of energy, depression and fatigue. B12 is present in most protein including eggs meat and dairy products.

• Caffeine (160mg): The world’s favourite stimulant! Here in the equivalent of around two cups of coffee. Will help increase metabolism but effects can wear off with use.

Super HD Thermo Sculpting Blend (250mg)

• Green Tea: There are proven health benefits to green tea and it can help weight loss if used in combination with proper diet and exercise. Some research suggests that when combined with additional caffeine as in this supplement, the fat burning effects are enhanced.
  Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18326618
• Slimpro: This patent pending supplement is derived from a type of cod, specifically the Northern Blue Whiting fish (cod) caught by Compagnie des Pêches Saint Malo (France). It contains peptides that increase the intestinal hormones CCK and GLP-1, which in turn send messages to the brain to signal fullness.

• Dandelion Root Extract: Herbal extract derived from the common garden weed dandelion. Strong diuretic effect so will increase urination.

Super HD Sensory Impact Blend (250mg)

• N Acetyl L Tyrosine: Tyrosine is an amino acid made in body with numerous purposes. It helps the body convert fat into energy and is important for mental functioning. Neuro transmitters in the brain are made from amino acids so Taking N Acetyl-L-tyrosine in supplement form can increase serotonin levels and mental performance.

• Rhodiola root extract: Medicinal plant (roseroot) that may have health benefits but lacks evidence. It is taken for a range of purposes including anxiety and fatigue, but requires clinical testing regarding efficacy and safety.
  Source: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/roseroot
• Amla fruit extract: According to the product information, Amla also known as Indian Gooseberry, contains several active compounds that support mental energy and memory. There is zero evidence to prove it. However Amla is classified by some as a superfruit.
• Yohimbe bark extract (yohimbine): Stimulant with many known side effects. Believed to increase blood flow but on the top 12 list of dangerous ingredients.
• Capsimax: Patented chilli pepper supplement believed to increase serotonin levels but lacks any real evidence.
  Source: http://www.capsimax.com
• Evodia Rutaecarpa (Evodiamine): According to popular belief, Evodiamine may help increase serotonin levels. Some clinical testing on mice has indicated it can reduce fat deposits too. It appears to act as a thermogenic but although it has been tested on animals, there do not appear to have been any clinical tests carried out on humans regarding weight loss. Uncertain results and there may be safety issues.

• Toothed Club moss (Huperzine A): Derived from the plant Huperzia Serrata (club moss or fir moss) Huperzine A is marketed as a cognitive enhancer and nootropic because it may boost the brain chemical acetylcholine and prevent oxidative stress in cholinergic neurons.
  Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21833673
• Rauwolfia Vomitoria extract (yohimbine): Plant extract, which contains the chemical yohimbine, so comes with serious health concerns.

Cellucor Super HD contains a lot of ingredients. This means that the chances of side effects are high. In addition, many are unproven and lack any real clinical evidence that they will work as described. Many have not been tested for safety in humans.

How it works will largely depend upon your own physical make up.

We are particularly concerned about the Yohimbe content and of course, we do not know the quantity of this important ingredient. It comes with some real health concerns – it is well known for increasing heart rate and blood pressure as well as other side effects.

You’re going to have a lot of energy, you’re going to poop a lot. You’re going to be flushed (red faced and warm) the first few times you use it… You’re also going to see results! I used this supplement in conjunction with a 1500 calorie/day diet and light exercise. My results so far are nothing short of amazing

Another customer reported:

I love it!!! It makes me feel amazing plus energetic and it helps suppress my appetite. Keep hydrated!!!! Also, beware of taking a few trips to the bathroom… kinda cleans you out until your body get more tolerated to it. Overall amazing product and I am buying more! lost 15pounds!

Some customers urge caution (we loved this review!)

…You will be superman for a few hours, and then you will crash. And then you will wonder why. Why god? Why have I taken this capsular super beast? You may consider curling up in the fetal position and having a good cry, calling exes and asking why they began to hate you. I assure you, it was this. They hated you because Cellucor Super HD helped get you shredded, but also made you a raving lunatic. Proceed with caution

Some customers have proceeded with caution and found it has helped.

we started slow with just one capsule a day. At first I didn’t feel any effects, but eventually, I started to notice my energy level was quite high….My wife, too, after several days asked if I had noticed anything, because she had not, but then she went to the gym and ended up spending an extra twenty minutes because she felt stronger. She’s even turned her morning walks into morning partial-runs…

Many customers have not experienced any benefits, just side effects.

Supplements work different for everyone but this was awful for me. This made the acne on my face break out extremely bad even about 3 weeks after I stopped taking it. Apart from that, I definitely felt energized while taking it…. Didn’t take it long enough to comment on weight loss.

Some customers experienced the crash without the energy boost.

… Unfortunately, I didn’t feel a thing. In fact, my response to it was the opposite. When taking this at 2 pills in the morning and 1 in the afternoon I would crash hard. I mean I was barely able to concentrate on work I was so tired. Went to bed early every night as well. My wife was shocked
