Sparta Nutrition Shred+ is a comprehensive, capsule-based thermogenic fat burner formulated to support weight loss.
Not all fat burners are made equally. Shred+ contains a unique combination of metabolism-boosting nutrients to increase energy, reduce appetite, boost energy expenditure, and combat feelings of poor mood commonly experienced when dieting.
We make sure Shred+ is clearly labeled with everything that goes into our formula. No
surprises. Zero proprietary blends. No banned substances. With Shred+, all active ingredients are transparently dosed so that you know exactly what you’re getting per serving.
Typically, weight loss supplements are notorious for leaving consumers feeling jittery, anxious, and on edge. Shred+ includes just enough caffeine to increase energy and support fat burning without making you feel uncomfortable.
Our approach was to create the most effective fat burner, starting with premium ingredients that stand up to the test. To help keep you on track, we’ve included a synergistic combo of energy enhancers and adaptogens to increase energy, mood, and motivation, to keep you fueled all day long.
What’s in Sparta Nutrition Shred+? Let’s take a look at the key ingredients (per 2 scoops)*.
KSM-66® (300mg)
● KSM-66® is an ultra-premium form of ashwagandha extract standardized to 5%
withanolides backed by over 20 clinical studies*
● Ashwagandha has been traditionally used as an adaptogen to help reduce cortisol
(the “stress” hormone) and improve the body’s response to assorted stressors.*
● In case you weren’t aware, dieting can be extremely stressful to both the body and
mind. Studies using KSM-66® find that it may help reduce stress and support weight loss
management.*
Caffeine (300mg)
● Caffeine is a popular CNS stimulant known to enhance mental energy, focus, and
alertness.*
● Studies indicate caffeine consumption may increase metabolic rate and energy
expenditure, which helps boost calorie burning and promotes weight loss.*
● Caffeine ingestion has also been noted to suppress appetite, which helps decrease
calorie intake, thereby supporting weight loss.*
White Willow Bark (125mg)
● Willow bark has been used for centuries for pain relief, due to the presence of
salicin.*
● Salicin is metabolized into salicylic acid in the body, which serves as a natural anti-
inflammatory and pain relief agent, painkiller, and blood thinner.*
● Salicylic acid has been noted to inhibit the production of molecules known as
prostaglandins, which can blunt the effects of fat-burning compounds.*
NeuroFactor™ (100mg)
● NeuroFactor is a trademarked blend of polyphenols derived from coffee fruit that
have been shown in research to stimulate the production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic
Factor (BDNF).*
● BDNF is a neuropeptide known to play a key role in brain health as it affects
neuronal development, maintenance, and repair.*
● BDNF also helps offer protection against neuro-degeneration.*
L-Tyrosine (100mg)
● Tyrosine is an amino acid naturally produced in the body (as well as obtained from
the diet) used in the synthesis of dopamine (the “reward” molecule) as well as the fat-
burning catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine
(noradrenaline).*
● Increased levels of dopamine support mood and motivation––two qualities which
decline the longer an individual diets.*
● Tyrosine also has been found to help reduce stress and improve performance during
physically and cognitively demanding tasks.*
Hesperidin 40% (100mg)
● Hesperidin is a flavonoid found abundantly in citrus fruits, oranges in particular.
● Research suggests that hesperidin may help decrease inflammation and support
increased blood flow.*
● Additional studies indicate that hesperidin can stimulate adiponectin
production.*
● Adiponectin is a hormone that activates the PPARα receptor, which helps regulate
fat mobilization and storage.*
Cocoa Seed Extract (100mg)
● Cocoa is an incredibly rich source of polyphenols which have been noted to help
lower inflammation, decrease blood pressure, aid circulation, and support healthy blood
sugar levels.*
● Research suggests that cocoa polyphenols may also help support weight loss by
modulating energy use, reducing calorie intake appetite and decreasing inflammation
while increasing fat burning and feelings of fullness.*
Olive Leaf Extract (80mg)
● Olive leaf extract is known to offer a wide array of benefits, particularly in regards
to cardiovascular health.*
● Research indicates that supplementation with olive leaf extract may help improve
lipid profiles (reduce total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels) as well
as decrease blood pressure.*
● Additional research notes that olive leaf extract may support weight loss by helping
decrease food intake as well as modulating the expression of genes that affect weight
gain.
Paradoxine® (50mg)
● Paradoxine® is an ethanol extract of Aframomum melegueta (Grains of Paradise)
standardized to 12.5% 6-Paradol.*
● Research indicates the active compound in Paradoxine may confer weight loss
benefits.*
● Specifically, Paradoxine® supplementation has been shown to stimulate
thermogenesis, boost energy expenditure and reduce body fat.*
Theobromine (50mg)
● Theobromine is a “feel good” compound naturally occurring in dark chocolate that
is commonly used as a vasodilator and bronchodilator.*
● It has been found to inhibit phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzymes and up-regulate the
activity of the intracellular messenger cAMP.*
● cAMP an enzyme called PKA, which reduces inflammation and causes
vasodilation*
● Theobromine also antagonizes adenosine receptors (similar to how caffeine works)
which helps increase mental energy, focus, and mood.*
● Recent studies find that theobromine may help “brown” white adipocytes via β-
adrenergic signaling and AMPK activation, which stimulates thermogenesis.*
Coleus Forskohlii (50mg)
● Coleus forskohlii is an Ayurvedic plant history used to support weight loss, decrease
inflammation and promote male hormone health.*
● The primary bioactive compound in Coleus (Forskolin) has been documented in
research to increase cAMP levels, which are associated with greater fat loss.*
● Forskolin has also been noted to stimulate lipolysis (the release of stored fat from
adipocytes), which encourages fat loss.*
Banaba Extract (10mg)
● Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) is a plant whose leaves have traditionally been
used for anti-diabetic properties.*
● Banaba leaves are rich in corosolic acid, which have been indicated to support better
glucose control.*
● In fact, studies show note that corosolic acid possesses anti-inflammatory,
antioxidant, antiviral, antihyperlipidemic, antifungal, and osteoblastic activities.*
● In regards to glucose metabolism, research indicates that banaba may improve
cellular uptake of glucose, reduce carbohydrate breakdown, decrease
gluconeogenesis.*
Fucoxanthin (10mg)
● Fucoxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid found in brown seaweed that is stored in fat
tissue.
● Research suggests that fucoxanthin supplementation may stunt adipocyte (fat cell)
growth and differentiation.*
● Fucoxanthin supplementation has also been found to boost metabolism, encourage
weight loss, support glucose metabolism, and promote healthy lipid profiles.*
BioPerine® (10mg)
● BioPerine is a patented black pepper extract standardized to 95% piperine.*
● Piperine has been shown to improve absorption and bioavailability of various
nutrients.*
● Additional studies suggest that piperine may encourage fat loss fat cell
differentiation attenuation and down-regulation of PPARγ activity.*
● Piperine may also suppress the expression of PPARγ.*
Versatile Dosing
Sparta Nutrition Shred+ allows users to titrate how much energy and thermogenic activity theywant. For those who just need a little boost, one capsule is more than enough. For those looking for all-day energy and weight loss support, two or three capsules is suggested.*
