Nutrition in conjunction with regular exercise is essential for general well-being. Consistency in all aspects of health is also key to achieving the most optimal body composition goals. However, keeping on top of work, social life, managing stress and cravings whilst finding the daily energy to exercise can often lead to falling off the bandwagon.

It’s our mission to help people achieve their health and fitness goals. This is why we developed a very unique formula to promote not only the physical (fat loss, immunity, balanced sugar levels, performance) but also mental (mood, focus, appetite) aspects of health and weight loss.

PROMOTES SHREDDING

A number of ingredients have been added to help stimulate the body’s fat receptor cells and help boost metabolism to promote an increased level of fat cell break-down. Green Coffee bean extract has been heavily researched and scientifically validated to reduce body weight and BMI. In addition, Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)have shown to reduce fat inhibition and reduce fat tissues. To help reduce stubborn belly fat, Garcinia Cambogia has been added due to its potential benefits of reduced abdominal fat and prevention of visceral fat.

BOOSTING ENERGY

Oxyshred includes a full spectrum of B-vitamins which promote and support energy levels. They work to help the body use macronutrients (carbohydrates, fat and protein) for fuel and also play an important role in brain function and DNA production. Figures show that a very sizeable proportion of the developed populations suffer deficiency in one or more B vitamins, suggesting that supplementation may be of particular benefit.

INCREASING IMMUNITY

Vitamin C contributes to immune defence by supporting various cellular functions. Supplementation has shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of systemic infections.
In addition, research shows that L-Glutamine has potential benefits of strengthening the immune system by inhibiting inflammatory responses. Findings suggest that L-glutamine supplementation may shorten the severity and length of flu-like infection.

ENHANCING MOOD

L-Tyrosine has been added due to its potential benefits in improving working memory, focus and coordination when exercising For mood enhancing properties, studies have shown that Taurine and caffeine have proven to be very effective. In addition, Taurine can decrease feelings of anxiety and stress. Outside the gym environment, these ingredients can also be used to improve focus and performance in the workplace, particularly to combat the afternoon slump. The unique combination of stimulants and nootropic used will ensure there is no post-peak crash or loss of focus.

BLOOD SUGAR

Blood sugar levels impact energy, concentration, ability to lose weight, performance, and an imbalance can lead to rapid mood swings and increased cravings. To help manage this, Chromium picolinate has been added due to its potential benefits in balancing blood sugar levels and reducing insulin resistance. The worldwide prevalence of insulin resistance ranges from 15.5 to 46.5%, among adults. As insulin resistance is a cardiovascular and type 2 diabetes risk factor, prevention and management is considered of great importance.

INCREASING PERFORMANCE

Huperzia Serrata has been found to significantly improve muscle contractions induced by nerve stimulation, leading to increased strength and performance. Additionally, L-glutamine is an amino acid which promotes the release of natural human growth hormone and helps with lean muscle growth.

HOW IS OXYSHRED DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET?

Has not just one but SIX scientifically supported benefits

No jitters or anxiety

No heavy stimulants

Vegan-friendly formula

Light diuretic meaning no excess fluid retention

For optimum results take twice daily - Mix 1 scoop with 10 ounces (295 ml) of chilled water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and on training days, consume 15 minutes prior to exercise.

Avoid eating or consuming a protein shake within 20 minutes after consumption for maximum absorption.

WHAT SEPARATES OXYSHRED FROM THE OTHERS?

- Optimal dosage of ingredients that work in synergy (instead of huge doses of a single ingredient)

- Uses active sections of ingredient extracts

- Chromium for blood sugar balance

- Not over-caffeinated

- Optimal stimulant dosage so you're not sitting there so full of energy, sweating and getting jittery

IS EHPLABS OXYSHRED VEGAN?

While not certified vegan, OxyShred contains no animal-based ingredients. According to vegan certification regulations, none of the EHPlabs products are vegan as they are manufactured in a facility that also processes our whey protein.

WILL I DEVELOP A TOLERANCE TOWARDS OXYSHRED?

OxyShred contains caffeine, and for products containing caffeine you should take a 1 week break after consuming the product for a consecutive 4 week period. With OxyShred, we recommend taking a 1 week break each time you finish a tub.

DO I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM USING EHPLABS SUPPLEMENTS?

All EHPlabs products are researched, formulated and carefully manufactured to ensure that they deliver results.

Although there is no rule about when you should start and stop taking supplements, you need to listen to your body. If you feel like you need to take a break, then you should take a rest from using any nutritional supplement products for 3 consecutive days and drink plenty of water to flush out your system.

With OxyShred, we recommend taking a break each time you finish a tub.

WHAT EHPLABS PRODUCTS CAN I MIX TOGETHER WITH OXYSHRED FOR CARDIO?

As suggested in the Directions, Acetyl L-Carnitine is best taken with OxyShred to maximize its effectiveness.

If you're doing fasted (empty stomach) cardio, the ideal energy cocktail is to mix 1 scoop of Beyond BCAA with 1 scoop of OxyShred and 2 scoops of Acetyl L-Carnitine with 20 oz (600ml) of chilled water.

It's fun experimenting with the delicious fruity flavor combinations.

WHAT IS THE BEST FLAVOR FOR OXYSHRED?

If you don't have a sweet tooth, pink grapefruit flavor is fantastic as it has a subtle fresh citrus flavor. Wild Melon and Kiwi Strawberry are well balanced and on the sweeter fruitier side, and Guava is a smooth natural tropical flavor.

Our newest flavors are Passionfruit and Mango, both of which have been very popular. All the OxyShred flavors are delicious, but it really depends on your taste preference.

CAN I USE OXYSHRED AS PRE-WORKOUT?

Yes! OxyShred helps put you in a positive and focused mindframe to conquer your workout. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pre-workout consumer, you’ll love the natural positive effects of OxyShred during your workout.

SWEETENERS IN OXYSHRED

OxyShred uses the sweetener Sucralose, as it's been FDA-approved for 20 years, and shown to be safe and stable. Sucralose has been extensively studied and more than 110 safety studies were reviewed by FDA in approving the use of sucralose as a general purpose sweetener for food.

WHY ARE THERE NO JITTERS?

Unlike some other products on the market, you shouldn’t get jitters from OxyShred if used as directed as it’s not over-caffeinated.

The R&D team at EHPlabs has focused on the optimal synergistic dose of ingredients within OxyShred to provide the best effect, so that they interact and complement each other, instead of pumping it full of stimulants - there is no need to add huge amounts of caffeine and other stimulants to make you itchy - this is the purpose of a pre-workout like RP Max.

The caffeine level in OxyShred is slightly higher than a strong cup of coffee.

WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC ACTION FOR FAT MOBILISATION FUNCTION?

The scientific action behind fat mobilization and fat utilization is two-fold;

1) you have to activate the fat from storage

2) you have to then take it from storage and transport into the mitochondria to be burned off as energy.
