Stopped drinking coffee in the early AM!
I have been using this product and its very similar or identical variations form TwinLab for a number of years, maybe seven or so. Coffee gives me the runs in the AM, maybe due to some of its non-caffeine ingredients.
The caffeine source is guarana and I think at the recommeded dosage it has about 200 mg or a couple of NoDoze or 1 Vivarin. However, Bitter Orange has Synephrine and is similar to the much maligned Ma Huang but perhaps less dangerous with fewer side effects, but less potent. I think it has quite a few more subtle energizers that contibute to the overall effect.
The price is quite good here. The competition for me is the 1/2 price sales on Twin Lab products at RiteAid Pharma for smaller bottles, but the price per capsule or dose is actually less for this bottle size bought here than the sale price there!

I couldnt use this product long enough to see if it worked. I was so nauseous and jittery I couldnt do anything, I wish I knew how the results were because I spent alot of money it, but I ended up flushing them down the toilet.

Product definately works. After a year of consistent exercise, I couldn’t lose any weight. I’ve lost five pounds in the two weeks since I started taking Ripped Fuel and can see definate improvement in muscle definition, especially in my abs. I take two in the morning, two at lunch and none at dinner, since I don’t want to risk losing sleep. This gave me jitters in the first few days but has since disappeared. My heartrate has not increased since taking this supplement. I also have not felt nauseous, dizzy, have blurred vision or any of the other side effects other reviewers have reported.
However, I think you definately need to work out regularly for this to work. I hit the gym for 1.5 – 2 hours after work, five days a week. I have not changed my diet. I suspect if you improve your dietary choices (i.e., less fatty foods, more protein, etc.), you could lose more weight. I am thoroughly satisfied with the results I have seen thus far.
Two (or so) months later: I lost a total of 15 lbs on Ripped Fuel. I am at my target weight so will stop using . If I gain the weight back, I’ll definately be buying another bottle. Great product.

I have been using this product on and off for 3-4 years and I can truly say it has helped with my muscle definition, especially in my abdominal area. I would suggest that if you try this, ease into the full dosage. Maybe take half the dosage for the first two days to see how your body is adjusting. The bitter orange ingredient is the ephedra substitute, and although it has not been proven to be harmful it still speeds up your heart rate considerably. So, try it out and if your body doesn’t like it, then discontinue.
