Ripped Up

Ripped Upﾙ

• For Devoted Fan of the Original, Now Extinct Ripped Fuelﾮ With Ephedra
• Better Than Ever With Thermo-Zﾙ Ephedra Extract and Thermo-Rxﾮ Acacia Alkaloids!
• Compare to the Original Ripped Fuelﾮ

Well over a decade ago, Ripped Fuelﾮ began gaining popularity in the gyms across the United States. People loved the results they got from this product so much that it quickly found its way to mainstream America. Since that time, millions of men and women have used Ripped Fuelﾮ to help control their body weight. However, in recent years, sales of Ripped Fuelﾮ have fallen off drastically. Several years ago, the company that produced the original Ripped Fuelﾮ with ephedra changed the product's formulation to an ephedra-free version. Apparently this ephedra-free version did not live up to the reputation of the original ephedra-based formulation for most people.

The good news is that The National Institute of Clinical Weight Loss (NICWL) and Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals (Hi-Tech) have teamed up to answer the call from fans of the original Ripped Fuelﾮ formulation with ephedra. NICWL and Hi-Tech have brought back this very popular formulation with a new product called Ripped Upﾙ. Newly formulated Ripped Upﾙ contains an ingredient blend comparable to the original Ripped Fuelﾮ, but now with a legal Thermo-Zﾙ ephedra extract. Better yet, Thermo-Zﾙ is backed-up by the powerful Thermo-Rxﾮ phenylethylamine group of alkaloids from Hi-Tech's proprietary plant extract, Acacia rigidula, in addition to six potent weight control agents that all play a pivotal role in Ripped Upﾙﾒs support of multi-directional weight control.

The multi-pathway approach to weight control is the key to the success of Ripped Upﾙ, which is accomplished by utilizing its ingredients to infiltrate numerous aspects associated with the accumulation and breakdown of body fat. In addition to the Thermo-Rxﾮ alkaloids from Acacia rigidula and Thermo-Zﾙ ephedra extract, Ripped Upﾙ also incorporates chromium polynicotinate, guarana extract (caffeine), theobromine, L-carnitine-L-tartrate, yohimbe extract, and green tea extract into its potent formulation. These ingredients have been investigated for their activity in at least eight pathways that contribute to weight control.

One, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes Acacia rigidula extract (Thermo-Rxﾮ), guarana extract (caffeine), and yohimbe extract to promote a norepinephrine-induced reduction in the desire to eat, and also theobromine to promote a sense of fullness through supporting the neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps modulate activity in the feeding center of the brain, called the hypothalamus.

Two, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes Acacia rigidula extract (Thermo-Rxﾮ), theobromine, and green tea extract to support stimulation of the release of norepinephrine, one of the bodyﾒs primary ﾓfat-attack neurotransmitters, which results in stimulation of beta-2,3 adrenergic receptor agonists. Stimulation of beta-2,3 adrenergic receptors on fat cells triggers lipolysis (the breakdown of triglycerides stored in fat tissue into fatty acids and glycerol) and fat mobilization of free fatty acids. This pathway activity also helps prevent the accumulation of new fat stores by inhibiting lipogenesis since activation of lipolysis shuts down lipogenesis.

Three, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes guarana extract (caffeine) and theobromine to support sustained lipolysis by interfering with the negative feedback loop that shuts down lipolysis. Researchers have established that these compounds do this by protecting the intracellular chemical messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from breakdown. cAMP is responsible for contributing to the lipolytic cascade that results in hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activation of lipolysis. These ingredients help keep cAMP active longer, thus promoting sustained lipolysis. Guarana extract and theobromine also support sustained lipolysis by acting as antagonists of norepinephrine-activated adenosine receptors, which when activated reduce intracellular levels of adenylate cyclase, the enzyme that is responsible for the production of cAMP.

Four, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes guarana extract (caffeine) and green tea extract for their known activity associated with the inhibition of the enzymes COMT and MAO, which are responsible for the breakdown of norepinephrine. This also helps promote sustained lipolysis.

Five, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes yohimbe extract as an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist to prevent stimulation of alpha-2-mediated G-protein uncoupling that inhibits adenylate cyclase, which would otherwise break the chain of events in the lipolysis cascade.

Six, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes Acacia rigidula extract (Thermo-Rxﾮ), guarana extract (caffeine), theobromine, green tea extract, yohimbe extract, and L-carnitine-L-tartrate to support thermogenesis and enhanced delivery of fatty acids to mitochondria, which then enhances the utilization of free fatty acids released during lipolysis. This activity supports increased caloric burn-off (expenditure).

Seven, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes green tea extract to support the modulation of specific digestive enzymes; specifically, by blocking the action of the enzyme lipase, which scientists have established modestly reduces the amount of dietary fats absorbed through the intestinal tract.

Eight, Ripped Upﾙ utilizes chromium polynicotinate to support the action of insulin. This contributes to normal, healthy levels of blood sugar (glucose) and insulin, which helps minimize the accumulation of new fat stores through lipogenesis.

As you can see, Ripped Upﾙ truly contains a case of ingredients shown to support an impressive multi-pathway approach to weight control.

So for those of you die-hard fans of the original Ripped Fuelﾮ who feel that Ripped Fuelﾮ lost its punch when the product formulation became ephedra-free, Ripped Upﾙ may be just what you have been looking for!
