Our product comparisons go through a very strict review, consisting of both internal expertise as well as external research such as product reviews and professional opinion. We assess a score based on effectiveness, ingredients, value and customer service.

If you’re looking to lose weight fast, an effective fat burner can make a real difference, helping you reach your goals quickly and safely. But you need to choose a supplement with a proven track record with ingredients proven to actually make a difference. A good fat burner will boost your energy and mental focus while also improving your training intensity and helping you slim down. You’ll also feel less hungry which should make it easier to resist unhealthy snacking.

After testing 100s of different fat burners, we learned that many fat burners contain inadequate quantities of their most beneficial ingredients. That’s because the ingredients proven to work aren’t easy to source, nor are they cheap. In addition, while fat burners containing green tea extract, l-tyrosine and caffeine can help assist in losing weight, they pale in comparison to fat burners that contain breakthrough natural ingredients such as Juniper Berry Extract and White Willow Bark, (more on these ingredients below). Unfortunately, it’s not cheap or easy to source these ingredients, which means many fat burners don’t include them, (or enough of them) to see visible results.

White Willow Bark, when combined with Juniper Berry Extract and caffeine, replicates the effects of DMHA, which was the world's most powerful weight loss product for decades - the hidden advantage of leading actors, bodybuilders and Hollywood stars. Unfortunately, the U.S. government banned it in 2013 because of safety concerns. It wasn’t until a few years ago scientists made an incredible discovery, a safe and legal alternative to DMHA, which is accomplished by combining White Willow Bark and Juniper Berry Extract with Caffeine. Based on thousands of reviews and our own testing, these ingredients are by far the most effective at helping people lose weight in 2023.

What To Avoid

  • High doses of caffeine for energy - As many of you probably already know – too much caffeine can cause nervousness, jitters, anxiety and issues with tolerance. An effective fat burner should use natural ingredients that work well in-conjunction with caffeine to provide you with an energy boost.
  • Dangerous ingredients - This can be a real issue with unknown and/or new brands. Always use a fat burner that contains all-natural ingredients. Lookout for products that sneak in dangerous ingredients that can put your health in jeopardy.
  • New companies without a proven track record - As mentioned above, unknown and/or new brands can be dangerous. These companies like to make outlandish claims because they don’t plan on sticking around. Lately we’ve seen countless Keto Products popup in Google from various unknown brands, we recommend steering clear of these products. We haven’t been able to confirm the ingredients or effectiveness of any of these products.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Of all the fat burners we tested on the market, SKALD by BELDT Labs is the clear winner. SKALD contains all of the most potent, safe and natural ingredients available in one powerful fat burner:

Juniper Berry Extract - White Willow Bark - Caffeine Anhydrous - Green Tea Extract - N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine

While these ingredients alone make SKALD the clear winner, it continued to exceed expectations by also including Mullein and Elecampane, which are clinically proven to improve your breathing during work-outs. During our independent testing, we definitely felt it made intense cardio feel easier and more pleasant.

This powerful fat burner contains the perfect doses of Caffeine, Green Tea Extract, Juniper Berry Extract and White Willow Bark to deliver an incredibly potent rush of steady energy with no jitters or crash.

Unlike other fat burners, SKALD does NOT rely heavily on caffeine, (it contains 110 mg of natural caffeine) which means you won’t build a tolerance and you’ll actually enjoy the energy and motivation it provides. We found ourselves waking up every morning looking forward to the AWESOME mood and energy SKALD provided.

SKALD contains the perfect blend of ingredients to suppress your appetite and boost your metabolism. That means you’ll find yourself eating less and burning fat all day even when you aren’t exercising.

SKALD is perfect for those who want to completely transform their body but have struggled to in the past. This incredible combination of ingredients makes it incinerate fat just like DMHA, which is without a doubt, the most powerful fat burner in existence. But unlike DMHA, it’s safe and all-natural!

BELDT Labs who makes SKALD has been producing high-quality dietary supplements for well over a decade with 100s of thousands of satisfied customers. BELDT Labs also performs its own independent thorough testing and research when developing their dietary supplement formulas. As we previously mentioned, we strongly recommend you only buy supplements from well-known companies with a strong track record.

We noticed BELDT Labs is a verified merchant with TrustSpot, TrustSpot only collects and displays 100% verified buyer reviews. Their current TrustScore is 9.49 / 10.

All BELDT Labs products are manufactured in the United States, and follow strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) in order to conform to the guidelines recommended by agencies that control the sale of pharmaceutical products, dietary supplements, and medical devices.

SKALD offers a 60-Day money back guarantee with their product. This guarantee applies whether you only tried one capsule or you used the entire bottle. We’ve found BELDT Labs to be honest and upfront about returns and honoring their commitment. There’s no hoops to jump through, simply return the unused portion of your product (which may be just the bottle), send it to the company, and your refund will be processed.

A few drawbacks to consider:

SKALD is made using rare ingredients that are expensive and difficult to source. We’ve seen that SKALD is out of stock sometimes for months at a time.

We heard through the grapevine that SKALD could be banned in future, just like DMHA

Since SKALD is so effective, we strongly recommend users exercise caution and don’t go below what’s considered a healthy weight. Just like DMHA, people would abuse it and lose too much weight. Being too skinny is NOT healthy and recommended.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Shred JYM is a fat burner supplement created by fitness guru Dr. Jim Stoppani. Its primary goal is to increase your metabolic rate for more effective fat loss

JYM Shred came in 2nd because it contains high quality Caffeine, L-Tyrosine and Green Tea Extract. We think these are staples in creating a modest energy boost to assist in fat loss, unfortunately it lacks the unique ingredients that our #1 pick SKALD contains, Juniper Berry Extract & White Willow Extract.

JYM also contains Capsimax Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract which is meant to act as a thermogenic, but based on our research, this ingredient lacks the research to prove its effectiveness. Similarly, it contains Acetyl-L-Carnitine and bitter orange flower extract which we can’t find enough science to support its effectiveness.

JYM Supplement Science, is a popular brand in the fitness industry mainly because its products don’t contain fillers and additives, which we of course appreciate. As previously mentioned, we recommend only buying supplements from well-known companies with a good track record, and JYM meets that criteria as it was founded in 2013.

JYM doesn’t use an independent review service like TrustSpot, (in the case of our #1 pick SKALD) so we have to take their reviews with a grain of salt as we don’t know if they’re truly authentic from verified buyers. But we see most reviews in between 3.5 and 4 stars.

A few drawbacks to consider:

We prefer if JYM shred didn’t have Capsimax Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract, Acetyl-L-Carnitine and bitter orange flower extract. There’s not enough science to support these ingredients.

JYM shred has 200mg of caffeine, this is the upper limit of what we like in a fat burner. Some users might experience jitters, anxiety and/or a crash after taking it.

PROS

  • Good energy boost
  • Aids with speeding up your metabolism
  • Can opt to not take the stimulant

CONS

  • Has lots of caffeine
  • Some ingredients aren’t backed by science
  • Taking 8 pills isn’t pleasant

THE BOTTOM LINE

Animal Cuts fat burner is a dietary supplement aimed at aiding fat loss using all-natural ingredients. The supplement is delivered in small packs that contain 8 different pills. We don’t particularly care for having to take 8 pills at once, the only benefit is you can choose whether you want to take the stimulant. But, that benefit isn’t really that great since the stimulant is really what will give you the most fat loss, (duh).

We included Animal Pak because it contains high quality Caffeine, L-Tyrosine and Green Tea Extract and the company that makes Animal Pak is Universal Nutrition that is well-known and has been in the industry for a long time. Unfortunately it lacks the unique ingredients that our #1 pick SKALD contains, Juniper Berry Extract & White Willow Extract.

Like JYM shred - Animal Pak has ingredients that don’t have enough science to prove their effectiveness. Most notable ingredients are Quercetin, Ginger Root, Apple Pectin, Cinnamon, Cocoa Powder and Celery Seed.

Animal Cuts doesn’t use an independent review service like TrustSpot, (in the case of our #1 pick SKALD) so we have to take their reviews with a grain of salt as we don’t know if they’re truly authentic from verified buyers. But we see most reviews in between 3.5 and 4 stars.

A few drawbacks to consider:

Animal Cuts has 210 mg of caffeine, as in the case of JYM shred, this is the upper limit of what we recommend. Users might experience jitters, anxiety and/or a crash after taking it.

Taking 8 pills isn’t a pleasant experience.

If you’re taking other medications or are sensitive to certain ingredients, Animal Cuts will increase your chances of an interaction. It contains dozens of different ingredients.

THE BOTTOM LINE

RSP QuadraLean Thermo Fat Burner came in 4th in our ranking, it contains high quality Caffeine and Green Tea Extract, which are the two staples we look for in a fat burner. QuadraLean also includes many ingredients such as Conjugated Linoleic Acid, Acetyl L Carnitine, Grains of Paradise and Cayenne Pepper Fruit Extract. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough science to support the effectiveness of these ingredients in-terms of fat loss.

RSP Nutrition is a well-known company that has been around for well over a decade - that combined with the high quality caffeine and Green Tea Extract is the primary reason we decided to include it in this list. We just wish they included more scientifically proven ingredients in their formula.

QuadraLean doesn’t use an independent review service like TrustSpot, (in the case of our #1 pick SKALD) so we have to take their reviews with a grain of salt as we don’t know if they’re truly authentic from verified buyers. But we see most reviews are between 3.7 and 4.0 stars.

A few drawbacks to consider:

QuadraLean has 200 mg of caffeine, this is the upper limit of what we recommend. Users might experience jitters, anxiety and/or a crash after taking it.

QuadraLean contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid, (CLA) there has been some controversy surrounding the safety and efficacy of consuming CLA supplements.

QuadraLean has some fillers we don’t care for, specifically, Gelatine, Dicalcium Phosphate, Plant Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate and Silicon Dioxide.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Cellucor SuperHD Ultimate came in 5th in our ranking, it contains high quality Caffeine, Green Tea Extract and L-Tyrosine. Cellucor SuperHD also contains several other ingredients such as Amla Fruit Extract, Dandelion Root Extract and Capsimax Cayenne. Unfortunately, we can’t find enough science to support the effectiveness of these additional ingredients.

Cellucor is made by NutraBolt which has been around since 2002, that combined with the fact it includes high quality Caffeine, Green Tea Extract and L-Tyrosine is why we included it in this list.

Cellucor doesn’t use an independent review service like TrustSpot, (in the case of our #1 pick SKALD) so we have to take their reviews with a grain of salt as we don’t know if they’re truly authentic from verified buyers. But we see most reviews are between 3.2 and 3.5 stars.

A few drawbacks to consider:

Cellucor SuperHD Ultimate has 400 mg of caffeine, this is why we ranked it last in our list. We recommend you steer clear of this product If you’re sensitive to caffeine. Many users complain of jitters, anxiety and crashes.

Cellucor SuperHD Ultimate contains, which can cause an unhealthy increase in blood pressure.
