What is IO Genix CLA PRO?
It is safflower oil in soft capsules, with a daily dose of four capsules providing 4,000 mg of oil, standardised to 80% conjugated linoleic acid. The bottle covers 25 servings.
Conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, is a fatty acid from the omega-6 family, found naturally in small amounts in dairy products and ruminant meat. Here it is extracted from safflower seeds (Carthamus tinctorius L.).
The formula fits into two lines: safflower oil and a shell made of gelatine, glycerine and water. Because the capsule is made of gelatine, the product is suitable neither for vegetarians nor for vegans. It joins our capsule fat burners and IO Genix aisles.
What does a four-capsule dose contain?
| Item | Per 4-capsule dose | Per capsule* | % NRV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safflower oil | 4,000 mg | 1,000 mg | no NRV |
| of which conjugated linoleic acid (80%)* | 3,200 mg | 800 mg | no NRV |
| Energy | 36 kcal | 9 kcal | — |
| Fat | 4 g | 1 g | — |
| Carbohydrate | 0 g | 0 g | — |
| Protein | 0 g | 0 g | — |
| Sodium | less than 1 mg | — | — |
* Columns calculated from the values declared for four capsules and from the 80% standardisation stated by the manufacturer. Pack size: 25 doses, i.e. 100 capsules. The split between the two CLA isomers — c9,t11 and t10,c12 — is not published; nor is the “of which saturates” line, nor the kilojoules.
The calculation that matters, and that nobody makes: 4,000 mg of oil standardised to 80% gives 3,200 mg of CLA, not 4,000. That is the difference between the weight of the oil and the weight of the active molecule, and it is the only figure to compare from one product to another. Plenty of labels display the big number hoping you will mistake it for the other one.
The 80% standardisation is a sound level for this category; oils at 60% or 70% do exist, and a bottle that is cheaper per litre may turn out to be dearer per gram of CLA. Always do the multiplication before comparing two prices.
Now for the essential point, and we will be categorical: no health claim is authorised in Europe for conjugated linoleic acid. Not on body composition, not on fat, not on weight, not on the maintenance of muscle mass. So you will read no promise of that kind here, not even in a roundabout form. The “fat burner” label that appears on our aisles is a commercial category name, not a description of an effect, and that is a distinction we are keen to state clearly.
What we can describe: a vegetable oil, a standardisation, a daily dose, a format, a usage protocol and some precautions. That is little, and it is honest.
How do you take CLA PRO?
Dose: 4 capsules a day. Liquid: a glass of water. Timing: 2 capsules at lunch and 2 at dinner. Frequency: two split servings. Duration: 8 to 12 weeks at a minimum, taken continuously.
The “with meals” instruction is not optional, unlike with many supplements. This is an oil: its absorption depends on fat being present in the digestive tract at the same time. Four capsules swallowed on an empty stomach with a glass of water means part of the product will do nothing at all.
Splitting it into two servings follows the same logic and improves tolerance: four soft capsules in one go sit heavily on some stomachs. If you get oily repeats, take them in the middle of the meal rather than at the start.
On duration, the manufacturer settles on 8 to 12 weeks minimum, and explicitly pairs this product with a balanced reduced-calorie diet and regular training. We are happy to repeat that detail, because it says the essential thing: this bottle does nothing on its own. If the calorie deficit is not in place, the question does not even arise.
The product combines without difficulty with a protein or a multivitamin. As a bottle covers 25 days, allow three to four of them to complete the recommended duration.
Who is CLA PRO for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at adults engaged in a structured weight loss approach, with a calorie deficit and training in place. It is a stimulant-free supplement, which makes it compatible with an evening serving and with late training — that is its real advantage over most products in the aisle.
The manufacturer advises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women and rules it out for the under-18s. It asks that you consult a healthcare professional in the event of a metabolic disorder, diabetes or drug treatment: that last precaution deserves careful reading. Traces of GLUTEN (wheat and oats), EGG, MILK, FISH and SOYA are possible.
It is suitable neither for vegetarians nor for vegans, as the capsule is made of gelatine. It is less suitable if you are looking for a noticeable effect: there is nothing to feel, no kick and no warmth, unlike a caffeinated thermogenic.
What you should not expect from it, and this is the most useful point on this page: this product does not make you lose weight. No claim exists, which means no European authority has validated any effect for this molecule. Nor does it preserve muscle mass during a diet: on that front, it is your protein intake and your resistance training that do the work. And 36 kcal per dose really are 36 kcal added to your day.
CLA or a thermogenic fat burner?
The two sit in the same aisle and the question comes up on every sale. Let us set out the common ground first: neither CLA nor the plant extracts in thermogenics hold an authorised health claim in Europe for weight loss. Deciding on the basis of promises therefore makes no sense here.
A thermogenic fat burner is generally built on caffeine, possibly combined with green tea or synephrine. It can be felt — alertness, warmth, a relative appetite curb — which explains its success. Its drawbacks are well known: it cannot be taken in the evening, tolerance builds up, and it adds to the coffee you drink during the day.
CLA does exactly the opposite: no stimulant, no sensation, no timing constraint. It is the right choice if you are sensitive to caffeine, if you train in the evening, or if you already take a caffeinated pre-workout. Our caffeine-free fat burner aisle brings together the other options of this kind.
One last frank word: if you have to choose a single supplement during a deficit, it is neither of these two. It is a protein, because it helps you hold your intake when the calories go down, and its wording on the maintenance of muscle mass is authorised. The omega 3 aisle usefully rounds out the picture on the fatty acid side.
Frequently asked questions
How much actual CLA in a dose?
3,200 mg. The four-capsule dose provides 4,000 mg of safflower oil standardised to 80%, which gives 3,200 mg of conjugated linoleic acid. That is the figure to compare from one product to another, and not the weight of oil, which tells you nothing on its own.
Does CLA make you lose weight?
No health claim is authorised in Europe for conjugated linoleic acid, not on weight, not on fat, not on body composition. We therefore cannot promise anything, and we will not do so. The manufacturer itself pairs this product with a reduced-calorie diet and regular training.
Why does it have to be taken with meals?
Because this is an oil: its absorption depends on fat being present in the digestive tract at the same time. Four capsules swallowed on an empty stomach with a glass of water means part of the product is wasted. It is the most common mistake with this type of soft capsule.
How long does a bottle last?
Twenty-five days, at four capsules a day. As the manufacturer recommends 8 to 12 weeks minimum, allow three to four bottles to complete the protocol it advises.
Are the capsules suitable for vegetarians?
No. The shell is a soft capsule made of gelatine, glycerine and water, of animal origin. The contents, on the other hand, are indeed a vegetable oil obtained from safflower seeds: it is the shell alone that is the problem, and that is a point rarely highlighted.
Can it be taken in the evening?
Yes, and that is in fact the manufacturer's protocol: two capsules at lunch and two at dinner. The formula contains no stimulant, which makes it compatible with a late serving — unlike a caffeinated fat burner. That is its main practical advantage.
Can it be combined with a caffeinated fat burner?
Nothing stands in the way as far as the formulas are concerned, as the two share no ingredient. Simply bear in mind that neither of them holds an authorised claim, and that stacking two products with no recognised effect does not create an effect. The calorie deficit remains the only documented lever.
Where to buy IO Genix CLA PRO?
The bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. Over a recommended duration of 8 to 12 weeks, it is better to order several bottles in advance than to run out halfway through.
At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is an aisle where we systematically start by talking about something other than the product: what do you eat, and for how long have you been eating it? Until that answer is satisfactory, no capsule will change anything, and we would rather say so across the counter than take the money. The rest of the aisle can be compared in our sports nutrition section.
What is IO Genix's Chromium Picolinate?
IO Genix Chromium Picolinate is a single-ingredient supplement. One capsule provides 200 µg of elemental chromium, in picolinate form. The bottle contains 100 capsules, i.e. more than three months of daily use.
Chromium is a trace element, that is to say a mineral the body needs only in minute quantities — a few tens of micrograms a day. Food provides it, chiefly through meat, wholegrain cereals, tree nuts and green vegetables, but the levels vary a great deal from one food to another and from one soil to another.
The picolinate form refers to chromium bound to picolinic acid. It is the most widespread form in food supplements, chosen for its stability. The rest of the Spanish range appears in our IO Genix section. The catalogue's other trace elements can be found in our zinc and iron sections.
What does a capsule of Chromium Picolinate contain?
| Composition | Per capsule | % NRV |
|---|---|---|
| Elemental chromium (as picolinate) | 200 µg | 500% |
| Bulking agent | Microcrystalline cellulose | |
| Anti-caking agents | Magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide | |
| Shell | Gelatine capsule | |
| Pack size | 100 capsules, i.e. more than three months at one a day | |
The nutrient reference value for chromium is set at 40 µg per day at European level. One capsule provides 200 µg: five times the daily reference, and that is a figure to face squarely rather than turn into a selling point. A high dose is not automatically a better product, particularly for a trace element whose requirements are counted in tens of micrograms.
Two claims are authorised in Europe for this trace element, and they are worded exactly like this: chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, and chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. The threshold for being allowed to state them is comfortably met here. Note the word “normal”, which is not decorative: it refers to the workings of a healthy body, not to the correction of a disorder.
A nuance few product pages give, and one that nonetheless decides the purchase: chromium deficiency is rare on an ordinary Western diet. A supplement makes sense if your diet is heavily processed, very low in wholegrain cereals, or if a healthcare professional has advised it. It makes a good deal less sense if you already take a complete multivitamin, which almost always contains chromium — check your label before stacking.
The manufacturer also asks you to consult a doctor before use and states that the product is not suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women, children or people on medical treatment. Requiring medical advice is unusual for a simple trace element: it is explained by the dose level, and it deserves to be followed.
Ingredients list
Bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose), GELATINE (capsule shell), anti-caking agents (magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide), chromium picolinate. The exact composition of the shell appears on the label of the bottle you receive.
May contain traces of GLUTEN, MILK, EGGS, FISH and SOYA.
How do you take Chromium Picolinate?
Dose: 1 capsule. Liquid: a glass of water. Timing: with a meal, never on an empty stomach. Frequency: one dose a day, never exceeded. Duration: a review after three months, with a one-month break possible before resuming.
Taking it with a meal serves two distinct purposes. The first is comfort: on an empty stomach, a concentrated trace element can cause stomach discomfort. The second is consistency: since chromium is involved in macronutrient metabolism, taking it at the moment those macronutrients arrive is logical.
The manufacturer recommends avoiding taking it at the same time as coffee or tea and leaving an hour between the two. Tannins and caffeine can interfere with the absorption of several minerals. If your breakfast is a strong coffee, move the capsule to lunch: it is simpler than clock-watching.
One capsule a day, at a set time, never exceeded. The 100-capsule bottle covers more than three months, which corresponds exactly to the period after which the manufacturer suggests taking stock. A one-month break is then possible before resuming.
This product combines without redundancy with an omega 3 or a magnesium. It does, on the other hand, duplicate most multivitamins and the berberine formulas that already include chromium in their composition: read the labels before stacking.
Who is chromium picolinate for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at a healthy adult whose diet is low in chromium sources, or someone a healthcare professional has advised to take a targeted supply. It is a product with a very short formula, which remains a good criterion: one ingredient, one dose, one capsule.
The manufacturer is explicit about the exclusions and its list is stricter than average: the product is for adults only, and it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, for children, or for people on medical treatment. It asks you to seek a doctor's advice before use and to stop immediately and consult a doctor if any adverse effect occurs.
One situation calls for particular care: if you are being monitored for disturbed blood glucose or are on antidiabetic treatment, this product is not something to improvise with. The fact that a claim mentions the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels does not mean a supplement has a place alongside a course of treatment — quite the opposite, and the question belongs to your doctor.
The capsule contains gelatine: it is suitable for neither vegetarians nor vegans. The product may also contain traces of gluten, milk, eggs, fish and soya.
What not to expect from it: it is not an appetite suppressant, it is not a fat burner, and it is not a weight-loss product, whatever you may read. No weight-control claim is authorised for chromium in Europe. If that is your goal, our weight loss section and, above all, your everyday diet will do the work.
Chromium on its own or a multivitamin, which should you choose?
This is the only real question to ask yourself before buying this product, and the answer depends on what you already take.
A complete multivitamin almost always contains chromium, often at a level close to the reference value, alongside twenty other micronutrients. If you are simply looking to cover your overall intake, that is more rational, cheaper overall, and it saves you adding one more capsule to your morning routine.
Chromium on its own, at 200 µg, answers a different logic: a targeted and deliberately high supply of a single element. That only makes sense if you know precisely why you are taking it — professional advice, a diet identified as low in chromium — and not simply because the words blood glucose appear somewhere on the label.
Watch out for stacking, which is the most frequent mistake in this category: multivitamins, capsule fat burners and metabolic complexes each contain chromium. Three products taken together can add up intakes without anyone noticing. If you already take a caffeine-free fat burner or a complex, read its composition again before adding this one.
Frequently asked questions
Is 200 µg a lot?
It is five times the European nutrient reference value, which is set at 40 µg per day. It is a deliberately high dose. The manufacturer does in fact ask for medical advice before use and forbids exceeding the daily dose, which is consistent with that level of intake.
Should you take it with a meal or on an empty stomach?
With a meal. On an empty stomach, a concentrated trace element can cause stomach discomfort, and the manufacturer explicitly recommends avoiding that situation. Taking it during a meal is also more consistent with chromium's role in macronutrient metabolism.
Why avoid coffee when you take it?
Because caffeine and the tannins in tea can interfere with the absorption of several minerals. The manufacturer recommends leaving an hour between the two. In practice, the simplest thing is to move the capsule to lunch rather than slotting it between two morning coffees.
Does chromium make you lose weight?
No, and no weight-control claim is authorised for chromium in Europe. The only two permitted wordings concern normal macronutrient metabolism and the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, in a healthy person. This is not a slimming product.
How long does a bottle last?
More than three months: 100 capsules, one a day. That is also the period after which the manufacturer suggests taking stock, before a possible one-month break. A bottle therefore corresponds exactly to one review period.
Are these capsules suitable for vegetarians?
No. The shell is gelatine, of animal origin. It is a common limitation across this range, and it is all the more regrettable given that vegetarian diets are sometimes listed among those that provide less chromium.
Can you take it alongside a multivitamin?
You can, but it is rarely useful, and it requires doing the sums. Most complete multivitamins already contain chromium. Adding two sources together without looking at the labels is the surest way to exceed, without knowing it, an intake the manufacturer specifically asks you not to exceed.
Where can you buy IO Genix's Chromium Picolinate?
The 100-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, we always ask to see what the customer is already taking before selling this one: nine times out of ten a multivitamin is already in use and the question of stacking comes before the question of buying. The rest of the category can be browsed in our sports nutrition section.
What is IO Genix Carniluxe Liquid?
IO Genix Carniluxe Liquid is a liquid L-carnitine, ready to drink, supplied in a one-litre bottle. One serving is 30 ml and provides 2,000 mg of L-carnitine. The bottle covers 33 servings, which is more than a month at one serving a day.
The raw material is Carnipure®, an L-carnitine produced under licence by the Swiss group Lonza. The rest of the composition comes down to six lines: water, citric acid as an acidity regulator, flavouring, beetroot red colouring, preservatives (potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate) and sucralose as a sweetener. No added sugars, no stimulants.
The flavours available: Green Apple, Raspberry, Lemon and Red Berries. The product sits in our fat burners section, alongside the powder and capsule formulas.
What does a 30 ml serving contain?
| Component | Per 30 ml serving | % NRV |
|---|---|---|
| L-carnitine (Carnipure®) | 2,000 mg | NRV not established |
| Added sugars | 0 g | — |
| Caffeine and stimulants | 0 mg | — |
| Servings per one-litre bottle | 33 | — |
The manufacturer does not publish a full nutrition table: no energy value, no macronutrients, no salt content. We are flagging this rather than reconstructing it. Given the composition — water, an acid, a flavouring and a high-intensity sweetener — the calorie contribution is necessarily very low, but we will not put forward a figure the manufacturer does not give.
The 2,000 mg per serving matches common practice in this category; serious products sit between 1,000 and 3,000 mg. The Carnipure® designation has concrete value: it identifies the origin of the raw material and its manufacturer, where many products simply write "L-carnitine" without saying where it comes from.
One regulatory point to state clearly, because it is decisive: no health claim is authorised in Europe for L-carnitine. Not on weight loss, not on fat utilisation, not on performance. The applications filed with the European authorities were not successful. "Fat burner" is the commercial name of the shop category, not a promise of effect, and we stick strictly to that. What we can tell you is factual: here is the molecule, here is its dosage, here is its origin.
How do you take Carniluxe Liquid?
Serving: 30 ml, without exceeding this daily dose. Liquid: to be drunk as it is, or diluted in a glass of water or a drink. Timing: 30 minutes before training, or in the morning on an empty stomach. Frequency: one serving a day. Duration: the manufacturer gives no course length or break — we are flagging this rather than inventing one.
That is the product's main selling point: there is nothing to mix. You pour, you drink. Compared with a powder to weigh out or capsules to count, the liquid format removes the friction — and with a supplement to be taken every day, friction is what makes people give up.
Shake the bottle well before each use and close it carefully after use. Store it in a dry place away from light. The liquid is also easy to add to a pre-workout shaker or an isotonic drink, if you would rather not drink it neat.
An honest clarification: the manufacturer suggests that a liquid format would be absorbed more quickly than a capsule. We have no published data allowing us to verify that, and we will not repeat it as our own. What the liquid format certainly does bring is convenience.
Who is this product for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at adults in a calorie deficit or in a preparation phase who want to add L-carnitine to their routine without adding another shaker or more capsules. The complete absence of stimulants also makes it an option for those who cannot tolerate the caffeine in thermogenic burners, or who train in the evening.
The precautions are brief. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of 30 ml. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Keep out of reach of children. The product may contain traces of GLUTEN, MILK and EGG. It also contains two preservatives, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, which is inherent to the liquid format: an aqueous solution kept open for a month needs them.
What you should not expect from it, and this is the central point: this product does not make you lose weight. No claim authorises it, no regulatory data supports it. Losing body fat comes down to the calorie deficit and physical activity, full stop. If you are looking for a supplement to make up for a diet that is not on track, this one will do no more than any other — and we would rather tell you before the purchase than after the third bottle.
Carniluxe Liquid or a thermogenic burner?
The two sit in the same section and do not work in remotely the same way. The choice comes down to your tolerance for stimulants.
A thermogenic burner from the burners in capsules section generally relies on caffeine, often 200 to 400 mg a day, sometimes combined with other stimulants. What you feel is heightened alertness and a sense of energy that helps you stick to a diet. It is the right choice if that is the effect you are after, and if you tolerate it. Note that none of these products has an authorised weight-loss claim either.
Carniluxe Liquid wins in three situations. You are sensitive to caffeine, you have high blood pressure or an anxious disposition: here there is no stimulant at all, so no nervous trade-off. You train in the evening and you value your sleep. Or you are already taking a caffeinated pre-workout and you do not want to stack — by far the most common case over the counter. For a broader stimulant-free approach, see the caffeine-free fat burner section, and for the general context, weight loss.
Frequently asked questions
How many servings are in the one-litre bottle?
Thirty-three 30 ml servings, which is more than a month at one serving a day. It is one of the most generous formats in the section, and it saves reordering every fortnight.
Does it need diluting?
No, it is drunk as it is — that is the whole point of the format. You can, however, dilute it in a glass of water, add it to a pre-workout shaker or to an isotonic drink if the concentrated taste bothers you. Shake the bottle before each serving.
Is the liquid better absorbed than the capsule?
The manufacturer suggests so, but we have no published data allowing us to confirm it, and we will therefore not assert it. What the liquid format definitely brings is convenience: nothing to weigh, nothing to swallow, nothing to mix.
Does it contain caffeine?
No, none at all, and no other stimulant. The formula has no added sugars and no stimulants, which means it can be taken at any time of day, including before an evening session.
What is Carnipure®?
It is an L-carnitine produced by the Swiss group Lonza and sold under that brand name. It does not change the molecule: it is L-carnitine. What the designation adds is identification of the supplier and its specifications, where many labels give no origin at all.
When should it be taken?
Thirty minutes before training, or in the morning on an empty stomach, according to the guidance given by the manufacturer. There is no magic moment: take it at the time when you will not forget to take it, since consistency matters more than the schedule.
Why does it contain preservatives?
Because it is an aqueous solution stored at room temperature and open for several weeks. Potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate are the standard preservatives for this type of preparation. A powder does not need them; a liquid does.
Where to buy IO Genix Carniluxe Liquid?
The flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. The one-litre bottle is a format that travels well: it is the kind of product you order once for the month.
In Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier, it is a product we mainly recommend to customers who tell us they stopped taking burners because of palpitations. The rest of the range can be found in the IO Genix collection.
What is IO Genix Carni3000?
IO Genix Carni3000 is an L-carnitine supplement in capsule form. A three-capsule dose provides 2,000 mg of L-carnitine tartrate, of which 1,360 mg is pure L-carnitine and 640 mg tartaric acid. The bottle holds 90 capsules, which is exactly 30 doses and one month's course.
L-carnitine is not an amino acid in the strict sense but an amino acid derivative, which the body makes in the liver and kidneys from lysine and methionine. Food supplies it too, almost exclusively through animal products: red meat is by far the richest source, hence its name, taken from the Latin carnis.
Its biological role is well established: it carries long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane, where they are broken down to produce energy. Without carnitine, that transport does not happen. It is this mechanism, a real one, that gave the product its reputation — and we shall see below why you should be wary of drawing hasty conclusions from it. The rest of the Spanish range can be found in our IO Genix aisle.
What does a dose of Carni3000 contain?
| Composition | Per capsule | Per 3 capsules (the dose) |
|---|---|---|
| L-carnitine tartrate (Carnipure) | 667 mg | 2,000 mg |
| of which pure L-carnitine | around 453 mg | 1,360 mg |
| of which tartaric acid | around 213 mg | 640 mg |
| Format | 90 capsules, that is 30 doses and one month's course | |
The figure to remember is not 2,000 mg, it is 1,360 mg, and the difference deserves an explanation that many product pages gloss over. L-carnitine tartrate is a salt: the carnitine molecule is bound to tartaric acid to stabilise the powder. Out of 2,000 mg of salt, around 68% is genuinely usable carnitine. When a label states “2,000 mg of L-carnitine tartrate”, it is accurate, but it is not saying the same thing as “2,000 mg of L-carnitine”. Here the manufacturer publishes both values, which does it credit and allows an honest comparison with other products.
The Carnipure mention refers to the origin of the raw material, that of a specialist Swiss manufacturer. It is traceability information that the manufacturer prints on the label; we report it as such, without turning it into an efficacy argument.
On the regulatory side, the position is clear: no health claim is authorised in Europe for L-carnitine. Not on weight loss, not on fat metabolism, not on endurance, not on recovery. Its role as a mitochondrial transporter is an established fact of physiology; what oral supplementation changes in a healthy adult who already eats meat is another matter entirely, and one with no validated answer. The previous version of this page promised increased fat oxidation and support during a cutting phase, and announced limited stock to rush the purchase: those passages have been removed.
Ingredients list
L-carnitine tartrate (Carnipure), anti-caking agent (magnesium stearate), capsule shell (GELATINE). No stimulants and no added sugars. The exact composition of the shell appears on the label of the bottle you receive.
May contain traces of GLUTEN, EGG, FISH, SOYA and MILK.
How do you take Carni3000?
Dose: 3 capsules. Liquid: a large glass of water. When: 30 minutes before training; on rest days, in the morning on an empty stomach. Frequency: one dose a day. Duration: a 6 to 8 week course, followed by a week off according to the manufacturer.
Three capsules at once is not trivial for anyone who struggles to swallow supplements. Take them one after the other with a large glass of water rather than together: that is the only practical difficulty with this product, and it is solved in ten seconds.
The capsule format is a genuine advantage here over the liquid format, which is very common for this molecule. Liquid carnitine ampoules travel badly, open up inside bags and often contain flavourings and sweeteners you can do without. A bottle of capsules slips into a gym bag with no risk, and the dose does not vary from one intake to the next.
The manufacturer recommends courses of 6 to 8 weeks with a week off. One bottle covers a month: count on two bottles for a full course, then. On days without training, the dose is taken in the morning on an empty stomach.
This product contains neither caffeine nor any stimulant. It can therefore be taken late in the day with no consequence for sleep, which is not the case for most of the products in our fat burners aisle. It combines without difficulty with a protein or an omega 3.
Who is Carni3000 for, and who is it not for?
It is of interest above all to two profiles. The first: people whose diet supplies little or no red meat — vegetarians, vegans, or simply heavy eaters of poultry and fish — in whom dietary carnitine intake is structurally low. The second: those who want a product with no caffeine, because they are already sensitive to stimulants or because they train in the evening.
One important reservation for the first profile, however: the capsule shell is gelatine, of animal origin. A strict vegetarian will therefore not be able to use it, which is a regrettable paradox for a product that would make particular sense in their case. We are flagging it rather than leaving the discovery for when the bottle is opened.
The manufacturer advises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women, asks that it be kept out of the reach of children and that you consult a healthcare professional if you are on medical treatment. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product may contain traces of gluten, egg, fish, soya and milk.
What not to expect from it, and this is the point on which we are most direct: this is not a fat burner. In a healthy person who eats meat, muscle carnitine stores are already close to their maximum, and muscle takes up circulating carnitine very poorly. No capsule creates a calorie deficit. If your goal is weight loss, diet and physical activity do all the work, and our weight loss aisle will not change that rule.
Carnitine or a burner with caffeine, which should you choose?
The two cross paths in the same cutting-phase basket, and they do not do the same thing at all.
A conventional capsule burner relies mainly on caffeine, sometimes combined with green tea or cayenne pepper. Its effect is noticeable: heightened alertness, a sense of energy, appetite often somewhat blunted. It is that sensation which explains its success, and it is real — but it comes from a stimulant, with the drawbacks that go with it: tolerance building up, disrupted sleep if taken late, palpitations in sensitive people.
Carnitine, on the other hand, is not felt at all. No noticeable effect, no kick, no effect on appetite. It is the better choice if you want to avoid stimulants, if you train late, or if you already drink a lot of coffee during the day. It is also the most honest thing to recommend to someone who already has three sources of caffeine in their routine.
If your priority is a stimulant-free product that you can nonetheless feel, look instead at our plant-based caffeine-free burners. And if you are already stacking several supplements, ask yourself about the total: three products doing half the same job cost more than a single well-chosen one.
Frequently asked questions
Why 2,000 mg of tartrate but 1,360 mg of carnitine?
Because L-carnitine tartrate is a salt: the carnitine is bound to tartaric acid, which stabilises the powder. Around 68% of the salt is usable carnitine, that is 1,360 mg for 2,000 mg of tartrate. Both values are accurate, but only the second lets you compare two products with each other.
Should it be taken before or after training?
The manufacturer states 30 minutes before the session, and in the morning on an empty stomach on rest days. This is a daily product: consistency matters more than the precise timing, since it produces no noticeable effect in the hour that follows.
Are these capsules suitable for vegetarians?
No. The shell is gelatine, of animal origin. That is all the more unfortunate given that vegetarians are precisely the profile in whom dietary carnitine intake is lowest, red meat being the main source.
How long does a bottle last?
Exactly 30 days: 90 capsules, three per dose, one dose a day. Since the manufacturer recommends courses of 6 to 8 weeks, count on two bottles to see a full course through.
Does it make you lose weight?
No, and no claim of that kind is authorised in Europe for L-carnitine. The product does not create a calorie deficit and does not alter appetite. It may accompany an effort, it never replaces one.
Is there any caffeine in it?
None. The formula contains only carnitine tartrate, an anti-caking agent and the capsule shell. That is what makes it possible to take it late in the day with no consequence for sleep, unlike most products in this aisle.
Can it be combined with a conventional burner?
Nothing stands in the way as far as composition goes, since the ingredients do not overlap. The real question is whether it is useful: adding together two products that do not act in the same place is expensive for a benefit that is hard to measure. Start with one and judge for yourself.
Where to buy IO Genix Carni3000?
The 90-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, around ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the product we point people towards when they want something without caffeine — and we tell them straight away that they will not feel a thing, because it is the truth and because it saves a disappointment a fortnight later. The rest of the aisle can be browsed in our sports nutrition section.
What is IO Genix Liquid Squeezer?
IO Genix Liquid Squeezer is a plant complex in vegetable capsules. A serving of three capsules provides 300 mg of Cactinea, 200 mg of artichoke extract, 150 mg of horsetail, 150 mg of dandelion, 100 mg of bilberry, 50 mg of bromelain and 1.4 mg of vitamin B6, which is 100% of the nutrient reference value. The bottle contains 60 capsules for a net weight of 52 g, which works out at 20 servings.
Cactinea is an extract of prickly pear fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica), a cactus grown around the Mediterranean and in the Americas. It is the central ingredient in the formula, the one that sets it apart from more conventional plant complexes, and it is dosed to the milligram — which is not all that common in this section.
The five other extracts are plants traditionally associated with the urinary and digestive systems: artichoke, field horsetail, dandelion and bilberry, plus bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple. The rest of the Spanish range is in our IO Genix section.
What does a serving of Liquid Squeezer contain?
| Composition | Per 3 capsules (daily serving) | % NRV |
|---|---|---|
| Cactinea (prickly pear extract) | 300 mg | Not established |
| Artichoke extract (Cynara scolymus) | 200 mg | Not established |
| Horsetail extract (Equisetum arvense) | 150 mg | Not established |
| Dandelion extract (Taraxacum officinale) | 150 mg | Not established |
| Bilberry extract (Vaccinium myrtillus) | 100 mg | Not established |
| Bromelain (pineapple enzyme) | 50 mg | Not established |
| Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) | 1.4 mg | 100% |
| Packaging | 60 capsules, net weight 52 g, which works out at 20 servings | |
The strong point of this formula is its transparency: seven ingredients, seven doses, no “proprietary blend” hiding the quantities. You can compare this product with another line by line, which most plant complexes do not allow.
Only one ingredient in this formula holds claims authorised in Europe, and that is vitamin B6. At 1.4 mg, which is exactly 100% of the reference value, the thresholds are comfortably met: vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the regulation of hormonal activity. Those are the exact wordings, and they are the only ones we will write.
For the six plant extracts, no health claim is authorised. Not for prickly pear, not for artichoke, not for horsetail, not for dandelion, not for bilberry, not for bromelain. The dossiers submitted at European level for botanicals have remained on hold, which rules out any statement of effect. The word “drainer” here is a commercial category label, not a promise: we describe what the formula contains, at what dose, and nothing more.
One point of consistency worth flagging rather than glossing over: the bottle covers 20 servings, a little under three weeks, whereas the manufacturer recommends a course of three to four weeks. So you need to plan for a second bottle to see a full course through — better to know that before ordering.

How do you take Liquid Squeezer?
Serving: 3 capsules. Liquid: at least 250 ml of water. Timing: in the morning on waking, before breakfast. Frequency: one serving per day. Duration: a course of 3 to 4 weeks, repeatable after a week's break.
Hydration is not an incidental piece of advice with this product, it is the condition of using it. The manufacturer explicitly asks you to keep up an intake of at least two litres of water a day during the course. Taking a complex of this type while drinking little is counterproductive and uncomfortable. If you are not prepared to drink more, this product is of no use to you.
Taking it in the morning on waking, before breakfast, is what the manufacturer settles on. It has an obvious practical advantage: it puts most of the effect into the day rather than the night, which avoids waking up in the small hours.
Three capsules at once with a large glass of water: take them one at a time if you find capsules hard to swallow. The manufacturer also recommends going easy on salt during the course and keeping up regular physical activity — two levers that genuinely do something, and a good deal more than a capsule does.
A course of three to four weeks, a week's break, then start again if needed. This is not a product to take continuously all year round, and the manufacturer does not envisage it that way either.
The product combines without overlap with a magnesium or an electrolyte powder if you sweat a lot. Do check your other supplements though: vitamin B6 is in almost every multivitamin, and this serving already provides 100% of the daily reference.
Who is Liquid Squeezer for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at a healthy adult who wants to support a specific period — a phase of dietary restriction, a return to activity, a spell of hot weather — with a plant complex, over three to four weeks. It is a product for an occasional course, not for permanent use.
The contraindications here are specific and you need to read them before buying. The manufacturer advises against the product for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and for people with kidney disorders, kidney stones or prostate problems without prior medical advice. It also asks you to consult a healthcare professional if you are taking diuretics or medication for high blood pressure.
That last point is the most important on this page. Several of the plants in the formula are traditionally associated with urinary elimination; combined with a treatment that works in the same direction, they may amplify its effects, particularly on mineral balance. If you take a diuretic or an antihypertensive, the question is one for your doctor or pharmacist before you open the bottle.
The presence of bromelain adds two points to watch: interactions are described with anticoagulant treatments, and people allergic to pineapple or latex may react to it. The product may also contain traces of gluten, milk and egg. The capsules are plant-based, which makes it compatible with vegetarian and vegan diets.
What you should not expect from it: this product does not make you lose weight. It is not a fat burner, it creates no calorie deficit, and a change on the scales linked to fluid is not a loss of body fat. It replaces neither diet nor physical activity — those are the only two levers that count, as our weight loss section points out. And it treats nothing: heavy legs that settle in, oedema or unexplained weight gain are matters for a doctor.
Plant complex or fat burner, what is the difference?
The two sit side by side in the same section and are often confused, wrongly.
A fat burner in capsules relies mainly on stimulants, caffeine first among them. Its effect is noticeable — alertness, energy — and it concerns energy expenditure and tolerance to training. It disrupts sleep if taken too late and does not suit every level of sensitivity.
This complex contains no stimulant at all. That is a structural difference: you do not feel it, it does not disrupt sleep and it can be taken by someone who cannot tolerate caffeine. It is also a short-course product, whereas a fat burner is used across a whole phase. If you are looking for stimulant-free support, our caffeine-free fat burners section offers other approaches.
What the two families have in common is worth saying plainly: neither one makes you lose weight in itself. No weight-loss claim is authorised for their ingredients. What produces the result is the calorie deficit and physical activity; the rest is support.
Frequently asked questions
How many servings are there in a bottle?
20 servings: 60 capsules at three a day, for a net weight of 52 g. Since the manufacturer recommends a course of three to four weeks, one bottle does not quite cover a full course. Plan on two if you want to see it through.
Do you need to drink more during the course?
Yes, and it is a firm instruction from the manufacturer: at least two litres of water a day, on top of the 250 ml that goes with the serving. That is the condition for using this type of complex comfortably. Without it, most of the point of the product disappears.
Does this product make you lose weight?
No, and no weight-loss claim is authorised in Europe for its ingredients. A change linked to body fluids is not a loss of body fat. Only a calorie deficit and physical activity produce that result.
Can you take it alongside blood pressure medication?
Not without medical advice. The manufacturer explicitly asks you to consult a healthcare professional if you are taking diuretics or medication for high blood pressure. Several of the plants in the formula work in a neighbouring register, and combining them is not a trivial matter.
Are these capsules suitable for vegans?
Yes. The capsule is plant-based, made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and all the actives are of plant or synthetic origin. It is one of the few products in this range that is, as most use gelatine.
What is Cactinea?
It is an extract of prickly pear fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica), dosed here at 300 mg per serving. It is the main and most distinctive ingredient in the formula. No health claim is authorised for this plant in Europe: we state its presence and its dose, without attributing any effect to it.
Is there any caffeine in it?
None. The formula contains no caffeine, no guarana, no green tea and no stimulant of any kind. It can therefore be taken by someone sensitive to stimulants, and in the morning as intended with no consequences for sleep.
Where can you buy IO Genix Liquid Squeezer?
The 60-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is a product we always ask the same question about before selling it: how much do you drink a day? When the answer is somewhere around a litre, we suggest starting there — it costs nothing and changes a great deal more. The rest of the section can be browsed in our sports nutrition range.
What is IO Genix Synephrine?
It is a single-ingredient supplement, in capsules, containing 330 mg of bitter orange dry extract (Citrus aurantium L.) standardised to 6%, that is 19.8 mg of p-synephrine per capsule. The bottle of 100 capsules, 58 g net, covers more than three months at one capsule a day.
P-synephrine is a molecule found naturally in the bitter orange fruit. To give a sense of scale: the manufacturer states that one litre of bitter orange juice contains between 15 and 27 mg of it, where a capsule delivers 19.8 mg in standardised form. That is the most useful comparison for understanding what you are buying.
The rest of the composition fits in three lines: a gelatine capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose as a bulking agent and magnesium stearate as an anti-caking agent. As the capsule shell is made of gelatine, the product is suitable for neither vegetarians nor vegans. It joins our fat burners in capsules and IO Genix sections.
What is in one capsule?
| Component | Per capsule | Per bottle | % NRV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitter orange dry extract (Citrus aurantium L.) | 330 mg | 33 g | no NRV |
| of which p-synephrine (standardised to 6%) | 19.8 mg | 1.98 g | no NRV |
Other ingredients: capsule shell (gelatine), bulking agent (microcrystalline cellulose), anti-caking agent (magnesium stearate). Pack size: 100 capsules, 58 g net. No energy value is declared and, at this scale, it is negligible.
A point of vocabulary first, because it accounts for half the comparison mistakes made in this category: 330 mg is the weight of the extract, 19.8 mg the weight of the active molecule. A label that advertises “500 mg of bitter orange” without giving a standardisation figure tells you nothing at all. It is the second number you should look for, every time.
That figure of 19.8 mg is anything but arbitrary, and it is the most important point on this page. ANSES has published an opinion on food supplements intended for athletes containing synephrine and recommends not exceeding 20 mg of synephrine per day, avoiding combination with caffeine and not consuming it during intense physical exercise. This product sits just under that limit, which is to its credit — but it also means there is no margin at all: one capsule only, never two, and nothing else alongside it.
On effects, the framework is unambiguous: no health claim is authorised in Europe for synephrine or for bitter orange. Not on weight, not on fat, not on energy, not on appetite. So you will read no promise here, not even one phrased indirectly. The “fat burner” label used in our sections is a commercial category name, not a description of an effect.
How do you take Synephrine?
Dose: 1 capsule a day, never more. Liquid: a large glass of water. When: in the morning on waking. How often: one intake a day. Duration: the manufacturer sets no precise duration but recommends a periodic break.
One discrepancy has to be flagged, and we will not pass over it in silence. The manufacturer suggests taking it “before training”; the ANSES opinion, on the contrary, recommends avoiding the consumption of synephrine during intense physical exercise. Between the two, we follow ANSES: take the capsule in the morning, well away from your session. That is the advice we give over the counter, and it deliberately differs from the leaflet.
Second instruction, and this one is absolute: never combine this product with another source of caffeine or stimulant without medical advice. That includes coffee, tea, energy drinks and above all pre-workouts, which commonly contain 200 to 350 mg of caffeine. The manufacturer says so, and so does ANSES: on this point there is no debate.
The manufacturer also advises against taking it late in the day, so as not to disturb sleep. With 100 capsules in the bottle, it covers more than three months — so plan the breaks it recommends rather than running through it without interruption.
Who is this product for, and who is it not for?
It is aimed at healthy adults engaged in a structured weight loss approach who want a single active ingredient with its standardisation stated. On that last point, the label is exemplary: one extract, one standardisation figure, one active molecule content.
The list of contraindications is one of the longest in the catalogue, and it needs to be read in full. The product is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children and adolescents, people on medical treatment, or people suffering from cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes, prostate adenoma, depression or thyroid disorders. If any one of these applies to you, this product is not for you, and that is not negotiable.
It is suitable for neither vegetarians nor vegans, as the shell is made of gelatine. Traces of GLUTEN (wheat and oats), NUTS, PEANUT, EGG, MILK, FISH and SOYA are possible. Nor is it for you if you drink coffee during the day or already take a caffeinated pre-workout booster: stacking stimulants is precisely what the health authorities ask you to avoid.
What not to expect from it, and we will be blunt: this product does not make you lose weight. No claim exists, which means no European authority has validated any effect. Nor is it a pre-workout, or an appetite suppressant. If your calorie deficit is not in place, this bottle will change absolutely nothing.
Synephrine or a stimulant-free fat burner?
That is the real choice in this category, and it does not come down to effectiveness — neither family has an authorised claim — but to the balance between constraints and sensations.
A caffeine-free fat burner cannot be felt and imposes no constraints: no timing to respect, no stacking to watch, no cardiovascular contraindication. It is the better choice for the vast majority of people, and by far the safest. You will feel nothing at all, which is precisely the point.
Synephrine belongs to the other family, the actives with a stimulant effect, like the thermogenics in the fat burners section. It is only of interest in one specific case: you want a single active, dosed below the threshold recommended by ANSES, with no caffeine added to the formula — which leaves you in full control of your other intakes. That is a genuine advantage over a complete thermogenic in which caffeine is imposed on you.
The advice we actually give over the counter: if you drink coffee, walk on by. And if you are going to add a single supplement during a deficit, take a protein rather than a fat burner — protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass is an authorised claim, and that is what a diet really hinges on.
Frequently asked questions
Is 19.8 mg of p-synephrine a lot?
It is just under the threshold of 20 mg a day recommended by ANSES for synephrine in supplements intended for athletes. In other words: the dose is set at the maximum of what is advised, and there is no margin. One capsule a day, never two, and nothing else alongside it.
Can it be combined with a coffee or a pre-workout?
No. The manufacturer advises against it and ANSES recommends avoiding the combination of synephrine with caffeine. A pre-workout commonly delivers 200 to 350 mg of caffeine: stacking is exactly what should be avoided. On this specific point, there is no room for compromise.
Should it be taken before training?
The manufacturer suggests it, but ANSES recommends avoiding the consumption of synephrine during intense physical exercise. We follow ANSES: take the capsule in the morning, well away from your session. It is a deliberate departure from the leaflet, and we would rather explain it than keep quiet about it.
What is the difference between 330 mg and 19.8 mg?
The first figure is the weight of the plant extract, the second the weight of the p-synephrine it contains, at a standardisation of 6%. It is the second one you should compare from one product to another. A label that gives an extract weight without a standardisation figure allows no comparison at all.
How long does a bottle last?
More than three months, at one capsule a day for 100 capsules. The manufacturer recommends periodic breaks rather than uninterrupted use: plan them from the outset rather than running straight through to the last tablet.
Are the capsules suitable for vegetarians?
No, the shell is made of gelatine of animal origin. The contents, on the other hand, are indeed a plant extract of bitter orange. The manufacturer also reports possible traces of gluten, nuts, peanut, egg, milk, fish and soya.
Why are there so many contraindications?
Because synephrine is an active with a stimulant effect, structurally close to molecules that act on the cardiovascular system. The manufacturer rules out in particular cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes, prostate adenoma, depression and thyroid disorders. That list is not decorative: read it before buying.
Where to buy IO Genix Synephrine?
The bottle of 100 capsules can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. Three months per bottle: this is a purchase that belongs to the long run, not to a moment of impulse.
At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the product in front of which we ask three questions before selling: do you drink coffee, are you on any medication, and what time do you train? A single wrong answer is enough to put it back on the shelf, and that happens often. The rest of the range can be compared in our sports nutrition section.

Who is a caffeine-free fat burner for?
Almost all fat burners sold in France are based on caffeine. This choice has a consequence that is rarely mentioned: some buyers take a stimulant for which they have neither the need nor the tolerance. A caffeine-free fat burner exists for five specific situations.
You are sensitive to stimulants. Palpitations, sweaty hands, nervousness, anxiety an hour after taking it: nothing exceptional, and nothing that depends on willpower. Caffeine metabolism varies greatly from one individual to another, and no gradual dose increase corrects a marked sensitivity.
You train in the evening. The half-life of caffeine is around five hours. A 200 mg dose taken at 6 p.m. still leaves 100 mg in the blood at 11 p.m. A diet that damages sleep is counterproductive: sleep restriction increases the next day's appetite, and this is a documented mechanism.
Your coffee consumption is already high. The EFSA considers that 400 mg per day for healthy adults, and 200 mg in a single dose, do not raise safety concerns. An espresso provides about 80 mg, a 200 ml filter coffee around 90 mg. At four or five coffees a day, you're at the limit even before opening a supplement bottle.
You have a medical contraindication. High blood pressure, heart rhythm disorder, thyroid pathology, ongoing treatment: stimulants have no place without medical advice, and removing caffeine is not enough to make a product safe. Your doctor must decide, label in hand.
You are on a stimulant break. Caffeine tolerance sets in within two to three weeks. Many practitioners alternate cycles with and without, and during the non-stimulant period, they look for a product that still has utility. This is exactly the role of this section.
If none of these cases apply to you, the classic formulas on the fat burner page are more comprehensive. And if it's your pre-workout that's causing the caffeine problem rather than your fat burner, take a look at our caffeine-free boosters instead.
What remains when caffeine is removed?
We are removing the best-documented ingredient in this category. What remains is more modest and deserves to be described without exaggeration.
L-carnitine
This is the central ingredient in this category. It transports long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are oxidized. The commercial reasoning is appealing, but in a person who eats normally, this transport is not the limiting factor and muscle stores are already full: the corresponding claims have been rejected by the EFSA. Its liquid form is better accepted by some, with no demonstrated advantage over the capsule form. It is a well-tolerated ingredient, without stimulating effect, which we sell for what it is, not for what it is claimed to be.
Chromium
Chromium picolinate contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient metabolism and normal blood glucose levels. These are the only two authorized claims in Europe concerning it, and they say nothing more. A correct intake is of real interest to people whose diet is restricted, without expecting anything else from it.
Drainers and diuretic plants
Dandelion, cherry stem, decaffeinated green tea, orthosiphon. Their action focuses on body water, not on fat reserves. The variation seen on the scale in the following days is hydric, rapid, and entirely reversible. This is an honest category as long as you don't confuse the two, and it requires drinking more, not less.
Appetite suppressant fibers
Glucomannan, psyllium, guar gum. They swell on contact with water and increase the volume of the food bolus: the satiety obtained is mechanical, not metabolic, and this is the most verifiable mechanism in the entire category. They must absolutely be swallowed with a large glass of water, otherwise there is a risk of esophageal obstruction.
Definition cosmetics
Creams and gels applied to the skin are for comfort and aesthetic preparation. They do not act on underlying fat, and no topical product targets a specific body area. We offer them as cosmetics, without attributing any metabolic action to them.
Does caffeine-free mean stimulant-free?
No, and this is the most common labeling trap in this category. A product can display "caffeine-free" on the front and still contain molecules with a stimulant effect.
P-synephrine, extracted from bitter orange, is a typical example. It's not caffeine, but its action is not neutral: ANSES has warned about it in several opinions, especially when combined with caffeine or intense physical effort. If you are looking for a caffeine-free product for a cardiovascular reason, synephrine is not the solution: ask your doctor for advice.
Second trap, natural sources of caffeine that have a different name on the ingredient list: guarana, maté, yerba maté, kola, non-decaffeinated green tea. A "no added caffeine" product containing 400 mg of guarana extract does indeed contain caffeine. Theobromine from cocoa is in a similar case, with a milder and longer-lasting effect.
The correct way to read it is therefore to go through the complete list of ingredients, not just the front-of-package mention. Truly stimulant-free formulas are quickly recognizable: L-carnitine, chromium, fiber, draining plants, amino acids, nothing else.
How and when to use them?
Without caffeine, the time constraint disappears. This is the clearest practical advantage of this category: you can take the product in the evening, before a late session, or spread it throughout the day without risking your night's sleep.
L-carnitine is generally taken once or twice a day, before training on workout days. Unlike a stimulant, it does not produce a noticeable effect: do not expect any sensation, and do not judge the product on this criterion.
Fibers should be taken 20 to 30 minutes before meals, with a large glass of water, never dry. Drainers, however, require an increase in fluid intake, contrary to many users' intuition.
These products do not require cycles as strict as thermogenics, since there is no stimulant tolerance to manage. A six to eight-week course during a restriction period remains a reasonable framework, with a review at the end to decide whether to continue.
During this period, the essential happens elsewhere: sufficient protein intake to protect muscle mass, proteins or whey isolate as a priority, EAAs around sessions if restriction is significant, and electrolytes if you sweat a lot.
What precautions should be taken?
Better tolerated does not mean harmless. The most common side effects are digestive: bloating with fiber, nausea at high doses of L-carnitine, frequent urination with drainers.
Diuretic plants require particular vigilance in case of diuretic or antihypertensive treatment, renal or cardiac insufficiency: the combination is strictly a medical decision. Fibers, on the other hand, can alter the absorption of medication taken at the same time; space out doses by at least two hours.
Medical advice is still necessary before any supplementation in cases of high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorder, thyroid pathology, diabetes, renal or hepatic insufficiency, ongoing treatment, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These products are not suitable for those under 18.
Finally, the fundamental limit does not change with less caffeine. No weight loss claims are authorized in Europe for this category, no supplement targets a specific body area, and the caloric deficit associated with physical activity does most of the work. Our weight loss section brings together what is truly useful during a restriction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of L-carnitine in the body?
It's a shuttle. Long-chain fatty acids cannot cross the mitochondrial membrane on their own, where they are oxidized to produce energy; carnitine transports them there. The body produces it itself from two amino acids, lysine and methionine, and food provides it, especially red meat. This transporter role is a biochemical fact, not a claim: EFSA has not authorized any health claims for L-carnitine, neither for weight loss nor for performance.
When to take L-carnitine?
Once or twice a day, most often 30 to 60 minutes before training on workout days, and in the morning on other days. It is not stimulating: the timing has no impact on sleep, and you can take it in the evening without inconvenience. What matters more than the timing is regularity — and not judging the product by a sensation, since it produces none.
What are the side effects of L-carnitine?
They are rare at usual doses and mainly digestive: nausea, gastric cramps, diarrhea, especially beyond 3 g per day. A particular body odor, described as slightly fishy, is sometimes reported at high doses: it comes from the transformation of part of the carnitine by the intestinal flora and disappears when stopped. People on anticoagulant treatment, dialysis, or suffering from a thyroid pathology should seek medical advice before taking it. As for the entire range: not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, nor before the age of 18.
Is a caffeine-free fat burner less effective?
It is less stimulating, which is not the same thing. We remove the ingredient that gives the sensation of energy, and whose effect on resting energy expenditure remains low anyway. What remains acts on other areas: mechanical satiety, hydration, macronutrient metabolism.
Is it dangerous to take fat burners?
A stimulant-free formula—carnitine, chromium, fiber—is among the best tolerated on the market, with mostly digestive side effects. The risk appears elsewhere: in thermogenic formulas combined with multiple coffees and a pre-workout, in the combination of stimulating plants with intense effort—ANSES has issued warnings on this point—and in products purchased outside the European circuit, regularly found to be contaminated with undeclared substances. The contraindications remain the same with or without caffeine: heart, thyroid, kidney, or liver disease, diabetes, ongoing treatment, pregnancy, breastfeeding, under 18 years of age. In case of doubt, show the label to your doctor rather than testing it yourself.
What product melts fat?
None, and the phrase "melt fat" is precisely what European regulations prohibit using: no weight loss claims are authorized for these supplements. What makes fat disappear is a sustained energy deficit, combined with sufficient protein intake and resistance training to preserve muscle. A supplement can make this period more comfortable; it does not replace any of these three things. As a rule, be wary of any product that promises a quantified result: the promise itself is illegal.
How to get rid of belly fat?
Without targeting it, because it's impossible: fat mobilization is controlled by hormones that circulate throughout the body, and you cannot designate a specific area for them. The belly is often the last region to show changes, which discourages many people just before results appear. What works: a moderate deficit — around 0.5% of body weight per week — sufficient protein, resistance training, daily activity, and sleep. Abdominal exercises strengthen the muscle beneath the fat; they do not eliminate it.
Can it be taken at night?
This is the main advantage of the format, provided you have checked that the formula does not contain guarana, maté, or non-decaffeinated green tea. A formula based on L-carnitine or chromium does not disturb sleep.
Is caffeine-free compatible with high blood pressure?
This question cannot be settled on a product page. Some plants in these formulas interact with antihypertensive treatments, and synephrine poses its own questions. Show the label to your doctor before buying.
Is liquid L-carnitine superior to capsules?
There is no evidence to support this. Liquid is quicker to take and often flavored, which helps with regularity. Choose the form you will actually take every day.
Can a caffeine-free fat burner be combined with a pre-workout?
Yes, and it's a common practice: the fat burner doesn't use up your daily caffeine budget, which you can then save for your pre-workout booster.
How long before seeing results?
None of these ingredients produce an immediate perceived effect, except for the satiety from fiber. Body composition changes depend on the deficit and are measured in weeks, at most around 0.5% of body weight per week if you want to preserve muscle.
Capsules or powder for a caffeine-free formula?
L-carnitine and chromium are well-suited for capsules, which are easy to carry. Formulas combining amino acids and minerals are mainly available in powder, with the advantage of requiring half a liter of water with each dose.
What brands are in this selection?
The range relies heavily on IO Genix, whose single-ingredient references—L-carnitine in capsules or liquid, chromium picolinate, draining formulas—allow you to know exactly what you are taking, line by line. TrainedByJP and SteelFit complete the selection with more specific approaches. To cover nutrient intake during a restriction, our multivitamins and omega 3 are more useful than most formulas in this range.

Who is a caffeine-free fat burner for?
Almost all fat burners sold in France are based on caffeine. This choice has a consequence that is rarely mentioned: some buyers take a stimulant for which they have neither the need nor the tolerance. A caffeine-free fat burner exists for five specific situations.
You are sensitive to stimulants. Palpitations, sweaty hands, nervousness, anxiety an hour after taking it: nothing exceptional, and nothing that depends on willpower. Caffeine metabolism varies greatly from one individual to another, and no gradual dose increase corrects a marked sensitivity.
You train in the evening. The half-life of caffeine is around five hours. A 200 mg dose taken at 6 p.m. still leaves 100 mg in the blood at 11 p.m. A diet that damages sleep is counterproductive: sleep restriction increases the next day's appetite, and this is a documented mechanism.
Your coffee consumption is already high. The EFSA considers that 400 mg per day for healthy adults, and 200 mg in a single dose, do not raise safety concerns. An espresso provides about 80 mg, a 200 ml filter coffee around 90 mg. At four or five coffees a day, you're at the limit even before opening a supplement bottle.
You have a medical contraindication. High blood pressure, heart rhythm disorder, thyroid pathology, ongoing treatment: stimulants have no place without medical advice, and removing caffeine is not enough to make a product safe. Your doctor must decide, label in hand.
You are on a stimulant break. Caffeine tolerance sets in within two to three weeks. Many practitioners alternate cycles with and without, and during the non-stimulant period, they look for a product that still has utility. This is exactly the role of this section.
If none of these cases apply to you, the classic formulas on the fat burner page are more comprehensive. And if it's your pre-workout that's causing the caffeine problem rather than your fat burner, take a look at our caffeine-free boosters instead.
What remains when caffeine is removed?
We are removing the best-documented ingredient in this category. What remains is more modest and deserves to be described without exaggeration.
L-carnitine
This is the central ingredient in this category. It transports long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are oxidized. The commercial reasoning is appealing, but in a person who eats normally, this transport is not the limiting factor and muscle stores are already full: the corresponding claims have been rejected by the EFSA. Its liquid form is better accepted by some, with no demonstrated advantage over the capsule form. It is a well-tolerated ingredient, without stimulating effect, which we sell for what it is, not for what it is claimed to be.
Chromium
Chromium picolinate contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient metabolism and normal blood glucose levels. These are the only two authorized claims in Europe concerning it, and they say nothing more. A correct intake is of real interest to people whose diet is restricted, without expecting anything else from it.
Drainers and diuretic plants
Dandelion, cherry stem, decaffeinated green tea, orthosiphon. Their action focuses on body water, not on fat reserves. The variation seen on the scale in the following days is hydric, rapid, and entirely reversible. This is an honest category as long as you don't confuse the two, and it requires drinking more, not less.
Appetite suppressant fibers
Glucomannan, psyllium, guar gum. They swell on contact with water and increase the volume of the food bolus: the satiety obtained is mechanical, not metabolic, and this is the most verifiable mechanism in the entire category. They must absolutely be swallowed with a large glass of water, otherwise there is a risk of esophageal obstruction.
Definition cosmetics
Creams and gels applied to the skin are for comfort and aesthetic preparation. They do not act on underlying fat, and no topical product targets a specific body area. We offer them as cosmetics, without attributing any metabolic action to them.
Does caffeine-free mean stimulant-free?
No, and this is the most common labeling trap in this category. A product can display "caffeine-free" on the front and still contain molecules with a stimulant effect.
P-synephrine, extracted from bitter orange, is a typical example. It's not caffeine, but its action is not neutral: ANSES has warned about it in several opinions, especially when combined with caffeine or intense physical effort. If you are looking for a caffeine-free product for a cardiovascular reason, synephrine is not the solution: ask your doctor for advice.
Second trap, natural sources of caffeine that have a different name on the ingredient list: guarana, maté, yerba maté, kola, non-decaffeinated green tea. A "no added caffeine" product containing 400 mg of guarana extract does indeed contain caffeine. Theobromine from cocoa is in a similar case, with a milder and longer-lasting effect.
The correct way to read it is therefore to go through the complete list of ingredients, not just the front-of-package mention. Truly stimulant-free formulas are quickly recognizable: L-carnitine, chromium, fiber, draining plants, amino acids, nothing else.
How and when to use them?
Without caffeine, the time constraint disappears. This is the clearest practical advantage of this category: you can take the product in the evening, before a late session, or spread it throughout the day without risking your night's sleep.
L-carnitine is generally taken once or twice a day, before training on workout days. Unlike a stimulant, it does not produce a noticeable effect: do not expect any sensation, and do not judge the product on this criterion.
Fibers should be taken 20 to 30 minutes before meals, with a large glass of water, never dry. Drainers, however, require an increase in fluid intake, contrary to many users' intuition.
These products do not require cycles as strict as thermogenics, since there is no stimulant tolerance to manage. A six to eight-week course during a restriction period remains a reasonable framework, with a review at the end to decide whether to continue.
During this period, the essential happens elsewhere: sufficient protein intake to protect muscle mass, proteins or whey isolate as a priority, EAAs around sessions if restriction is significant, and electrolytes if you sweat a lot.
What precautions should be taken?
Better tolerated does not mean harmless. The most common side effects are digestive: bloating with fiber, nausea at high doses of L-carnitine, frequent urination with drainers.
Diuretic plants require particular vigilance in case of diuretic or antihypertensive treatment, renal or cardiac insufficiency: the combination is strictly a medical decision. Fibers, on the other hand, can alter the absorption of medication taken at the same time; space out doses by at least two hours.
Medical advice is still necessary before any supplementation in cases of high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorder, thyroid pathology, diabetes, renal or hepatic insufficiency, ongoing treatment, as well as during pregnancy and breastfeeding. These products are not suitable for those under 18.
Finally, the fundamental limit does not change with less caffeine. No weight loss claims are authorized in Europe for this category, no supplement targets a specific body area, and the caloric deficit associated with physical activity does most of the work. Our weight loss section brings together what is truly useful during a restriction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of L-carnitine in the body?
It's a shuttle. Long-chain fatty acids cannot cross the mitochondrial membrane on their own, where they are oxidized to produce energy; carnitine transports them there. The body produces it itself from two amino acids, lysine and methionine, and food provides it, especially red meat. This transporter role is a biochemical fact, not a claim: EFSA has not authorized any health claims for L-carnitine, neither for weight loss nor for performance.
When to take L-carnitine?
Once or twice a day, most often 30 to 60 minutes before training on workout days, and in the morning on other days. It is not stimulating: the timing has no impact on sleep, and you can take it in the evening without inconvenience. What matters more than the timing is regularity — and not judging the product by a sensation, since it produces none.
What are the side effects of L-carnitine?
They are rare at usual doses and mainly digestive: nausea, gastric cramps, diarrhea, especially beyond 3 g per day. A particular body odor, described as slightly fishy, is sometimes reported at high doses: it comes from the transformation of part of the carnitine by the intestinal flora and disappears when stopped. People on anticoagulant treatment, dialysis, or suffering from a thyroid pathology should seek medical advice before taking it. As for the entire range: not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, nor before the age of 18.
Is a caffeine-free fat burner less effective?
It is less stimulating, which is not the same thing. We remove the ingredient that gives the sensation of energy, and whose effect on resting energy expenditure remains low anyway. What remains acts on other areas: mechanical satiety, hydration, macronutrient metabolism.
Is it dangerous to take fat burners?
A stimulant-free formula—carnitine, chromium, fiber—is among the best tolerated on the market, with mostly digestive side effects. The risk appears elsewhere: in thermogenic formulas combined with multiple coffees and a pre-workout, in the combination of stimulating plants with intense effort—ANSES has issued warnings on this point—and in products purchased outside the European circuit, regularly found to be contaminated with undeclared substances. The contraindications remain the same with or without caffeine: heart, thyroid, kidney, or liver disease, diabetes, ongoing treatment, pregnancy, breastfeeding, under 18 years of age. In case of doubt, show the label to your doctor rather than testing it yourself.
What product melts fat?
None, and the phrase "melt fat" is precisely what European regulations prohibit using: no weight loss claims are authorized for these supplements. What makes fat disappear is a sustained energy deficit, combined with sufficient protein intake and resistance training to preserve muscle. A supplement can make this period more comfortable; it does not replace any of these three things. As a rule, be wary of any product that promises a quantified result: the promise itself is illegal.
How to get rid of belly fat?
Without targeting it, because it's impossible: fat mobilization is controlled by hormones that circulate throughout the body, and you cannot designate a specific area for them. The belly is often the last region to show changes, which discourages many people just before results appear. What works: a moderate deficit — around 0.5% of body weight per week — sufficient protein, resistance training, daily activity, and sleep. Abdominal exercises strengthen the muscle beneath the fat; they do not eliminate it.
Can it be taken at night?
This is the main advantage of the format, provided you have checked that the formula does not contain guarana, maté, or non-decaffeinated green tea. A formula based on L-carnitine or chromium does not disturb sleep.
Is caffeine-free compatible with high blood pressure?
This question cannot be settled on a product page. Some plants in these formulas interact with antihypertensive treatments, and synephrine poses its own questions. Show the label to your doctor before buying.
Is liquid L-carnitine superior to capsules?
There is no evidence to support this. Liquid is quicker to take and often flavored, which helps with regularity. Choose the form you will actually take every day.
Can a caffeine-free fat burner be combined with a pre-workout?
Yes, and it's a common practice: the fat burner doesn't use up your daily caffeine budget, which you can then save for your pre-workout booster.

Questions fréquentes — Caffeine-Free Fat Burners
Quel est le rôle de la L-carnitine dans le corps ?
C'est une navette. Les acides gras à longue chaîne ne peuvent pas franchir seuls la membrane de la mitochondrie, l'endroit où ils sont oxydés pour produire de l'énergie ; la carnitine les y transporte. L'organisme la fabrique lui-même à partir de deux acides aminés, la lysine et la méthionine, et l'alimentation en apporte, surtout la viande rouge. Ce rôle de transporteur est un fait de biochimie : côté réglementaire, l'EFSA n'a autorisé aucune allégation de santé pour la L-carnitine.
Quand prendre de la L-carnitine ?
En une à deux prises par jour, le plus souvent 30 à 60 minutes avant l'entraînement les jours de séance, et le matin les autres jours. Elle ne stimule pas : l'horaire n'a aucune conséquence sur le sommeil, et vous pouvez la prendre le soir sans inconvénient. Ce qui compte davantage que le moment, c'est la régularité, son action étant silencieuse.
Quels sont les effets indésirables de la L-carnitine ?
Ils sont rares aux doses usuelles et essentiellement digestifs : nausées, crampes gastriques, diarrhée, surtout au-delà de 3 g par jour. Une odeur corporelle particulière est parfois rapportée à forte dose : elle vient de la transformation d'une partie de la carnitine par la flore intestinale et disparaît à l'arrêt. Les personnes sous traitement anticoagulant, dialysées ou souffrant d'une pathologie thyroïdienne doivent demander un avis médical avant d'en prendre. Comme pour tout le rayon : ni pendant la grossesse ou l'allaitement, ni avant 18 ans.
Un brûleur sans caféine est-il moins efficace ?
Il est moins stimulant, ce qui n'est pas la même chose. On retire l'ingrédient qui donne la sensation d'énergie ; ce qui reste agit sur d'autres terrains : satiété mécanique, hydratation, métabolisme des macronutriments, glycémie. C'est aussi ce qui rend ces formules compatibles avec une séance du soir ou une journée déjà bien caféinée.
Est-il dangereux de prendre des brûleurs de graisse ?
Une formule sans stimulant — carnitine, chrome, fibres — est parmi les mieux tolérées du magasin, avec des effets indésirables surtout digestifs. Les points de vigilance se situent ailleurs : dans les formules thermogéniques cumulées avec plusieurs cafés et un pré-entraînement, et dans l'association de plantes stimulantes à un effort intense, sur laquelle l'ANSES a publié des mises en garde. Les contre-indications restent les mêmes avec ou sans caféine : pathologie cardiaque, thyroïdienne, rénale ou hépatique, diabète, traitement en cours, grossesse, allaitement, moins de 18 ans. En cas de doute, l'étiquette en main et l'avis de votre médecin restent la référence.
Quel produit fait fondre la graisse ?
La réglementation européenne n'autorise aucune allégation d'amaigrissement pour ces compléments, et la formule « faire fondre » en fait partie. Ce qui fait disparaître de la graisse, c'est un déficit énergétique tenu dans la durée, associé à un apport protéique suffisant et à du travail en résistance pour conserver le muscle. Un complément rend cette période plus confortable et vient s'ajouter à ces trois leviers.
Comment faire partir la graisse abdominale ?
La mobilisation des graisses est commandée par des hormones qui circulent dans tout l'organisme : la perte se fait globalement, et le ventre est souvent la dernière région à bouger, ce qui demande de la patience. Ce qui fonctionne : un déficit modéré — de l'ordre de 0,5 % du poids corporel par semaine — des protéines en quantité suffisante, du travail en résistance, de l'activité quotidienne et du sommeil. Les abdominaux renforcent le muscle sous la graisse.
Peut-on le prendre le soir ?
C'est l'intérêt principal du format, à condition d'avoir vérifié que la formule ne contient ni guarana, ni maté, ni thé vert non décaféiné. Une formule à base de L-carnitine ou de chrome ne perturbe pas le sommeil.
Sans caféine et hypertension, est-ce compatible ?
Cette question se règle avec un médecin. Certaines plantes présentes dans ces formules interagissent avec les traitements antihypertenseurs, et la synéphrine pose ses propres questions. Montrez l'étiquette à votre médecin avant d'acheter.
La L-carnitine liquide est-elle supérieure aux gélules ?
Les deux formes apportent la même molécule. Le liquide est plus rapide à prendre et souvent aromatisé, ce qui aide à la régularité ; la gélule s'emporte partout. Choisissez la forme que vous prendrez effectivement tous les jours.
Peut-on associer un brûleur sans caféine à un pré-entraînement ?
Oui, et c'est un usage courant : le brûleur ne consomme pas votre budget caféine de la journée, que vous réservez alors à votre booster d'avant-séance.
Combien de temps avant de voir quelque chose ?
La satiété des fibres se ressent dès la première prise ; les autres ingrédients travaillent silencieusement. L'évolution de la composition corporelle dépend du déficit et se mesure en semaines, autour de 0,5 % du poids corporel par semaine au maximum si vous souhaitez préserver le muscle.
Gélules ou poudre pour une formule sans caféine ?
La L-carnitine et le chrome se prêtent bien aux gélules, faciles à emporter. Les formules qui combinent acides aminés et minéraux existent surtout en poudre, avec l'avantage d'imposer un demi-litre d'eau à chaque prise.
