Kaged Muscle Clean Burn Key Features

Kaged Muscle Clean Burn is a weight loss supplement, and although it is aimed at bodybuilders, looking to “carve “their bodies of surplus fat, this is not something specific to bodybuilders. When it comes down to it, we all want to lose unsightly fat whether we are trying to build a rock hard six pack or just want to lose some excess flab.

The supplement contains a blend of ingredients and as claimed, these are stimulant free. Most are branded products available only to the supplement industry, so have undergone clinical testing and should be safe for most users.

The principle ingredient at 1000mg per serving is a branded L Carnitine supplement called Carnipure. L Carnitine is an amino acid that is made in the body, and helps convert fat into energy and may have other benefits too.

The supplement also contains ChromeMate – a chromium supplement that may help regulate the way that insulin works. There is Capsimax, a supplement based on red chilli peppers which is supposed to help burn fat as well as lift mood, and GS Plus, a Gymnaema Sylvestre supplement. Gymnaema Sylvestre can help regulate blood sugar.

The only ingredient in Kaged Muscle Burn that does not come in the form of a branded supplement is Green Tea Extract, which at 333mg per serving seems to be an effective serving. Research has suggested that the antioxidants in green tea can increase the speed of the metabolism, so can help weight loss. However, best effects are seen when combined with caffeine which is not present here.

Check out the ingredients tab to find out more.

Overall, the formula looks pretty well thought out and effective. We like that it seems safe, and that every ingredient comes with full information regarding quantities and with links to clinical evidence displayed on the official website.

Kaged Muscle is based in Huntingdon California (although the product return address is provided as Boise Idaho). The company is fully engaged with social media and CEO of the company, Kris Gethin, is a bodybuilder with his own Facebook page and he actually models on the Kaged Muscle website.

There’s no doubt about it, Kris is eye candy! He has ripped muscles, tattoos, and an aversion to keeping his shirt on! What’s not to like about that!

Unsurprisingly, over a million people do like his Facebook page where he does exercises and poses moodily up against walls or on gym equipment.

What does Kaged Muscle Clean Burn claim to do?

According to the advertising,

“Clean Burn™ attacks the problem from ALL angles!”

It explains the need for a multi-pronged approach,

“Fat burning is a complex, multiple-pathway process. An effective fat burner approaches this process along multiple metabolic pathways as KAGED MUSCLE™ has done with Clean Burn™.* It takes the right combination of ingredients to burn fat without making you edgy.”

The ingredients are explained,

“L-Carnitine is essential for transporting long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane to help break down fat and generate energy.”

The other components come with a more snappy description!

• SET YOUR METABOLISM ON FIRE WITH CAPSIMAX®
• INHIBIT FAT STORAGE WITH GREEN TEA
• THE SUGAR DESTROYER GYMNEMA SYVESTRE EXTRACT
• CRUSH CRAVINGS AND STABILIZE SUGAR WITH CHROMEMATE®

Kris Gethin uses pictures of himself in the before and after pictures. He explains that Clean Burn was one of the products that helped him get shredded in just four weeks, and you can watch a video where he explains how to do it.

Does Kaged Muscle Clean Burn work?

We think this supplement will probably help weight loss if you combine it with a training regime, and because most of the components are branded supplements this means that there has been research carried out into the individual ingredients.

It is, however, important to remember that manufacturer’s trials may not be as unbiased as independent testing, and may not have been based on human clinical trials.

Carnipure is the principle ingredient at 1000mg per serving, and according to studies carried out by the maker Lonza (who have been making this for over 25 years) it does increase the oxidisation in fatty acids in healthy individuals. Some evidence shows that it can help transport fat in cells for burning as energy, and it is popular with many bodybuilders for this reason.

Capsimax is not as impressive. This chilli pepper supplement contains the natural chemicals which give hot peppers their burn and although this is a branded supplement, the evidence for chilli as a fat burner is not that convincing. As anyone who has ever eaten chilli knows, it does cause a burn and in turn this causes sweating and increases the metabolism for around half an hour after ingesting. But without the burn, there is no real evidence that taking Capsimax will increase the speed of the metabolism.

In addition, we would have preferred to see caffeine in this supplement, because there is a lot of evidence that green tea and caffeine is in itself a good combination leading to weight loss. The good point about this is that you can stack this supplement with Pur Caff, a Kaged Muscle caffeine pill.

Clean Burn may work as described for some users. It will not make you lose weight on its own, but if you combine with training and a diet regime it may enhance the effects.

Kaged Muscle Clean Burn Ingredients

Serving size is equal to 2 capsules.

• Chromium (ChromeMate) (134mcg): Chrome is a trace mineral so required by the body in very small amounts. It is used to improve blood sugar control via increasing insulin, and according to the ChromeMate advertising, this supplement is ideal for supporting normal blood sugar levels and lipid metabolism. However, it is important to remember that ChromeMate is just another supplement, and as such has not been evaluated by the FDA. Source

Clean Burn Matrix

• L Carnitine Tartrate (Carnipure) (1000mg): Carnipure is based upon L Carnitine, an amino acid type substance in the body that is also obtainable by diet. Carnipure is manufactured by a Swiss company called Lonza. According to their information, L-Carnitine helps promote healthy weight management, maintains healthy heart function, and enhances recovery from exercise. Source
• Green Tea Extract (50% EGCG) (333 mg): We love green tea! Green tea is high in antioxidants, most notably ECGC (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) and research suggests that when combined with resistance exercise it can lead to a decrease in body fat. ECGC stimulates thermogenesis and seems to prolong the action of Norepinephrine, but effects do seem to be improved by the use of caffeine which is not present in this supplement. Source
• Capsicum Fruit Extract (Capsimax) (33mg): According to the advertising for Capsimax, this supplement ingredient delivers effective levels of capsaicinoids, without the oral and gastric burning sensation of unprotected red hot peppers. This sounds good as do the claims that Capsimax supports energy production by promoting healthy metabolism, the mobilization of fats for energy production (a process called lipolysis), and thermogenesis by generating heat in the body. The trouble is that there is no real evidence. Source

Blood Sugar Support

• Gymnaema Sylvestre Extract (GS4 Plus) (100mg): Supplement which contains Gymnaema Sylvestre, a shrub extract native to Africa and India. Gymnaema contains natural plant chemicals that decrease the absorption of sugar so it is often touted as a treatment for diabetes, but despite some promising clinical trials, there is no real evidence it will work in this way.

Other Ingredients

• Vegetable cellulose (capsule), microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate.

Kaged Muscle Clean Burn Side Effects

• Nausea and vomiting
• Heartburn
• Stomach upset
• Diarrhoea
• Fishy body odour

Gymnaema can cause changes to blood sugar levels.

Kaged Muscle Clean Burn Customer Feedback

There are customer reviews for Kaged Muscle Clean Burn. We took a look at Amazon USA to find out what people are saying about this supplement.

Many customers are satisfied,

Great fat burner. I can definitely see the results!

Love this stuff. No taste or jitters. I like to take some before my workouts and before bed. Don’t forget that this is not a manic pill – you need to use this in combination with a clean diet and training plan!

This customer also liked the jitter-free effects, saying that he combined this supplement with a caffeine pill when necessary,

I use Clean Burn to help me stay lean when I’m dieting. It provides key ingredient in the necessary dosages such as chromate, green tea and Gymnaema sylvestre to name a few. The best part about this product is that it’s non stimulant so anyone can take it and won’t feel the jitters. If you want that extra boost just stack it with Kaged’s pur caf caffeine

Some customers have felt benefits, but these have not added up to any weight loss,

!t didn’t hurt my stomach and I liked that it has no caffeine in it but it really didn’t do anything. I lost about 4 or so lbs the first few days and thought it really worked…but then I gained it right back…all while not changing anything. So, I suppose it just didn’t work for me. On a positive note, it did give an energy boost.

A few customers have noticed no difference between taking it and not taking it

I honestly cannot tell a difference and am not feeling any “fat burning” effects. The fact that you have to take it twice before every meal is very tedious and can become costly if you plan on continuing to use this….

Kaged Muscle Clean Burn Money-Back Guarantee

There is no money-back guarantee on offer with this supplement.

Where To Buy Kaged Muscle Clean Burn

You can buy Clean Burn direct from the Kaged Muscle website. It is also on sale from independent supplement retailers including Vitamin Shoppe and A1 supplements, as well as Amazon USA.

UK buyers can find Kaged Muscle Clean Burn on sale at eBay and from a few UK supplement suppliers.

Kaged Muscle supplements are also available in India.

Watchdog Verdict

We think that Kaged Muscle Clean Burn will suit some users, and if you work out and are following a weight loss regime, it seems likely that this supplement may help enhance the effects. Company CEO, Kris Gethin, is a good advert for his own supplement, and his before and after pictures seem to suggest that you can achieve modest improvements too.

In addition, we like that that this supplement is stimulant free, but that if you do want to add caffeine it is easy enough to stack with the Kaged Muscle caffeine pills. In our opinion, more supplement companies should offer this option.

The downsides are that some of the ingredients such as Capsimax, may do nothing at all and that Clean Burn does not come with a money-back guarantee.

Overall, we feel that Kaged Muscle Clean Burn will certainly suit some customers, but may be too specialised to people just looking to lose weight yet not powerful enough for the more serious bodybuilders. Therefore, we do not recommend Kaged Muscle Clean Burn to our readers.
