 I'm Amelia. I'm a product development specialist at EHP Labs and I work with a team to come up with the product ideation, so the research and development of our products, what goes into the formulas, working with the manufacturers and also getting the products out to customers. My background is in nutrition. I'm a degree qualified nutritionist, so vitamins, minerals and ingredients are my vibe and it helps me to understand what goes into our products and the science behind it. So today we're going to have a chat about Oxyshred Hardcore, how it makes LeVon feel and also the science behind this. Hey guys, I'm LeVon. I'm one of the EHP Labs athletes. So LeVon, would you like to tell us a little bit about how you use Oxyshred Hardcore and when you might use it? So I've always used Oxyshred, the standard one, the original formula, for a very long time. When I use Oxyshred Hardcore, it's usually leading into summer when I want that little bit of extra kick, little bit more fat burning, or leading into a show where I just really need to get that extra little edge and extra little pump and fat burning. Love that. So the reason you might feel a bit more of an energy burst is because Oxyshred Hardcore actually has 275 milligrams of caffeine in it. So this is almost double the amount of caffeine than our regular Oxyshred and this comes from three different caffeine sources. So we've got caffeine and hydrous, we've got Gerana and we've also got green coffee bean extract and these different types of ingredients are absorbing our body at different rates. So they'll give you that nice energy burst, but it's going to be more of a stabilised energy. So you won't feel like you'll get that insane energy burst and then a crash a couple of hours later, it's going to be more sustained. And the ingredient that helps to increase your core body temperature is Evodium mine. So this is a herb that actually helps to increase thermogenesis. It's similar to capsaicin, which is the spicy active component in chilies, except it doesn't have that spicy effect to it. So you're going to get that body heating effect without the spicy taste. So why do you feel like you would use this product opposed to our regular Oxyshred when you're cutting? Well, the main reason is that extra bit of energy, that extra bit of sort of intense pump in the gym, I find instead of double scooping the standard one or any other supplement for that matter, a scoop of this really, really gets me going and just gets me focused as well. And I just really get to pump it out. I love that. So another ingredient that we've got in Oxyshred hardcore that isn't in our regular Oxyshred is Hupazine A. And this ingredient helps with strength and endurance. So it can really help you get that extra bit of power throughout your workout. And then of course, the extra caffeine is going to help that too. So what do you find you struggle with when you're cutting? One of the main ones, I guess, it's probably for everyone is the diet. Diet's got to be one of the toughest things. Getting to the gym is obviously difficult, but you've got your supplements to get you there. But dieting is always a big struggle. So I find the cravings are always one of the hardest things, trying to overcome them and not give in to temptation. But to be honest with you, I find that with these, especially with all the different flavors, it really takes away the craving. I don't feel the need to go grab a packet of lollies and rip open, you know, the killer pythons and just eat in and give into the cravings. I really just, they kind of help me, it helps keep me on track and not really deviate off too much because you're getting that little sweetness, that bit of kick. Yeah, exactly. So obviously all of our oxy-tread flavors taste amazing and a lot of them are kind of sweet. So they do give you a little bit of that satisfaction, but they've also got some ingredients in there that can help with your cravings. So we've got some chromium picolinate in oxy-tread hardcore and this is a mineral that can help with blood sugar balance. This can help to kind of ease those sugar cravings. Your appetite will feel more stable throughout the day as well, so you won't be getting those intense hunger pains. And that kind of helps when you're in a calorie deficit, helps to keep you going as well without straying off track too much. Yeah, I really noticed that. That's probably the, like I said, one of the toughest things that really does help me keep me on track. So there's also a few other ingredients in oxy-tread hardcore that can help with cravings and hunger. So we've got some inulin fiber, which is a prebiotic, and this can kind of help you to decrease your appetite and you'll feel fuller for longer. We've also got some grapefruit seed extract in there as well, which can help to decrease appetite as well. And then we've got some goggle extract, which helps to increase your satiation hormone leptin and also decrease your hunger hormone ghrelin. Having done a few cuts in my time, I really noticed a difference when I was using oxy-tread compared to back when I wasn't using it. I find that I really broke through the plateau and like got to my goals a lot quicker than I did prior to using it. So that's probably one of the other reasons that I absolutely stand by it. Yeah, so there's also a number of reasons why it can kind of help to get you there faster and give you a little bit of an extra tool in your back pocket to use when you're in a calorie deficit. So we've got acetyl alkanatine. We've got this in a higher dosage in oxy-tread hardcore than our regular oxy-tread. And then we've also got some glycocan, which is a similar ingredient and they will kind of help to transport our fatty acids into the mitochondria, which is our powerhouse of our cells, and help them to be burnt off as energy. So glycocan is also only in oxy-tread hardcore and this has a few other benefits as well. So it helps to increase nitric acid production and also decrease lactic acid production, which will kind of that's a burning feeling you get when you do a hard workout. So it'll help to reduce this, which will hopefully make you be able to train again faster. Yeah, I actually do really notice that I do recover a bit quicker and I'm not fatiguing in the gym as quickly as I do when I don't use it. You know, it's really funny what I've noticed since using oxy-tread hardcore as well, when I'm dieting and I'm training first thing in the morning and I take that, I find I'm not as moody. I'm able to sort of get in, be more focused and not struggle as much with the dieting, the limited carbs. I'm just, yeah, a lot less moody. Well, there's definitely a reason behind that. We have some ingredients in oxy-tread hardcore, which will help assist with your mood. So we've got amino acids, tyrosine and taurine in there, and they can kind of help to reduce neurotransmitters that will help you experience less anxiety and also help you to feel better in yourself. We've also got some bitter orange in there as well. So this is a herb that kind of helps caffeine. They work synergistically together really well and can kind of stimulate your central nervous system without increasing your heart rate and your blood pressure, but help to increase that focus during the workout.
