In a deficit, the body mobilizes its reserves, and muscle tissue is part of that. However, muscle is difficult to rebuild, and its loss reduces resting energy expenditure, making subsequent efforts more difficult. Three factors are truly important, and none of them are supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResistance training\u003c\/strong\u003e is the signal that tells the body that muscle mass must be preserved. Without this stimulus, muscle loss in a deficit is significantly greater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA significantly higher protein intake than during maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e, distributed throughout the day rather than concentrated in a single meal. This is where protein powder finds its most defensible justification: achieving a high protein total while reducing calories is simpler with a concentrated source. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e section details the numerical benchmarks, including those from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.anses.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eANSES\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA gradual rather than abrupt deficit.\u003c\/strong\u003e The more severe the restriction, the greater the proportion of non-fat mass in the loss.

It retains water in muscle cells, which can temporarily mask weight changes on the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy does weight loss eventually stop?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA slowdown followed by a stop is expected, not abnormal. Several mechanisms combine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpenditure mechanically decreases with weight: a lighter body consumes less, both at rest and in motion. Spontaneous activity also decreases, often unnoticed. Appetite, however, increases. And the accuracy of dietary tracking loosens over the weeks: estimated portions always drift in the same direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore concluding that it's a plateau, check the observation period: variations in water, digestive content, and hormonal cycle can easily mask real changes over a few days. A plateau is judged on an average, not on a single weighing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf confirmed, two paths exist: further reduce intake, or increase expenditure. The first has a limit beyond which diet becomes difficult to sustain and micronutrient intake insufficient; the second is often more sustainable. A period of returning to balance, without restriction, also has its place. Calibrating all of this requires a professional who knows your situation, not a category page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy does the weight often return afterward?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight regain after restriction is common and can be explained without mystery. The adaptations described above—reduced expenditure, increased appetite—do not disappear the day restriction stops: if the return to usual eating is abrupt, intake will largely exceed expenditure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most crucial factor lies elsewhere: a restriction based on rules you don't intend to keep will not produce lasting results. Habits that do not survive the weight loss period will not protect the outcome. The exit strategy is therefore as important as the period itself, with a gradual increase in intake and the maintenance of resistance training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also why we do not offer diet plans or numerical goals on this page. Real support requires knowing your history, any ongoing treatments, your biological profile, and your relationship with food. \u003cstrong\u003eThis falls under the purview of your primary care physician or a registered dietitian-nutritionist\u003c\/strong\u003e, and them alone. We sell food products; we do not replace a consultation, and we will not claim otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a caloric deficit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA state in which your body expends more energy than it takes in over a prolonged period: it then draws on its reserves to make up the difference. A deficit is not a diet or a method; it is the common mechanism for all approaches that work. An approach that yields results creates a deficit, whether it states it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you achieve a caloric deficit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe principle is to increase expenditure, reduce intake, or both. In practice, it starts by measuring before modifying: most people misestimate their actual intake, almost always underestimating it. The extent of the deficit that suits you depends on your weight, body composition, activity level, health status, and treatments. We will not provide a number here: this is precisely what a doctor or registered dietitian-nutritionist calibrates during a consultation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many pounds can you lose per week?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benchmarks generally adopted by health professionals suggest a reasonable loss of about \u003cstrong\u003e0.5 to 1% of body weight per week\u003c\/strong\u003e, or about 0.4 to 0.8 kg for an 80 kg person. This is not an arbitrary limit: beyond this, the proportion of muscle mass in the loss increases, micronutrient intake becomes difficult to cover, and restriction becomes difficult to sustain—which sets the stage for regaining weight. Two nuances: the first few weeks often show more loss, because water and digestive content shift; and the lighter you are to begin with, the slower the reasonable pace. The number adapted to your situation is determined in consultation, not on a web page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you lose 10 kilograms in a month?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot in a healthy or sustainable way, and we prefer to state this clearly rather than sell you something based on that promise. Ten kilograms in thirty days implies a deficit of a magnitude that exceeds what an adult can maintain without losing muscle, performance, and a significant portion of their vitamin and mineral intake. What the scale shows in such cases is largely water, digestive content, and lean tissue—not just fat—and experience shows that weight regain is almost systematic. The only situations where such rapid loss is supervised are under strict medical monitoring for specific medical reasons. If you have a deadline in mind, talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian-nutritionist: a realistic goal maintained for six months will take you further than a month of severe restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you lose weight by stopping eating?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, not in a useful way, and it's one of the worst possible strategies. Extreme restriction causes weight to drop on the scale, but a significant portion of this loss is water and muscle tissue; resting energy expenditure decreases, appetite increases sharply, and subsequent weight regain often exceeds the starting point. Added to this are real consequences: fatigue, loss of strength, deficiencies, concentration and sleep problems. If the idea of skipping meals or severely restricting your diet seems like the only solution, or if your relationship with food is a burden, talk to your doctor: it's a conversation infinitely more valuable than any product in this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hinders weight loss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vast majority of cases, four very mundane things, and none of them are a \"blocked metabolism.\" First, \u003cstrong\u003etracking drift\u003c\/strong\u003e: estimated portions always drift downwards, and oil, sauces, and drinks disappear from the count. Second, the \u003cstrong\u003emechanical decrease in expenditure\u003c\/strong\u003e: a lighter body consumes less, and the deficit from two months ago has become a maintenance level. Third, the \u003cstrong\u003ereduction in spontaneous activity\u003c\/strong\u003e, which goes unnoticed. And fourth, the \u003cstrong\u003eobservation period\u003c\/strong\u003e: three days of stable weight on the scale is not a plateau; you need to think in averages over two to three weeks. If the blockage is confirmed despite rigorous tracking, or if it is accompanied by unusual fatigue or other symptoms, you need to see a doctor: certain medical conditions and treatments influence weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a fat burner cause weight loss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and no weight loss claims are allowed for these products. Without a caloric deficit, nothing happens. What you will feel comes from the caffeine they contain: alertness and a feeling of energy during training. This is real and useful for maintaining session intensity, but it has no direct effect on body fat. Any communication claiming otherwise deserves your distrust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich protein to choose during a deficit phase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one that provides the most protein for the fewest calories, and that you digest well. An isolate or clear whey fulfills this role well, with very few carbohydrates and lipids. A concentrated whey also works if it suits you and is cheaper per kilo of protein. The decisive criterion remains the total daily protein intake, not the category of the tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you target belly fat loss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Fat mass loss is global: the body mobilizes its reserves according to a distribution that depends on individual factors, particularly genetic and hormonal ones, which no localized exercise affects. Abdominal exercises strengthen the abdominal muscles; they do not remove the fat that covers them. No supplement or device alters this order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn what order do you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to a pattern specific to each person, which you do not choose. Some areas thin out early, others late, and the last to yield are often the ones that concern you the most. This is a classic source of discouragement and does not reflect any error on your part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to see results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will not give a timeframe, because there isn't one that's valid for everyone, and a number announced here would be at best useless, at worst discouraging. What is true, however: the first few days of a dietary change primarily shift water and digestive content, which makes the scale misleading at the start. Judge by averages and over weeks, and talk to a healthcare professional if you want a benchmark adapted to your situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy am I losing weight when I'm eating normally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis question does not call for an answer from a sports nutrition store, and we will not provide one. Unintended weight loss, when your diet has not changed, deserves to be explored by a doctor: the possible causes are numerous, some benign, others not, and none can be diagnosed online. What we can usefully say: do not fill the gap with gainers before understanding what is happening. Make an appointment, and do so quickly if the loss is significant or accompanied by other symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should you worry about weight loss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe benchmark most often used by health professionals is an \u003cstrong\u003einvoluntary\u003c\/strong\u003e loss of approximately 5% of body weight in six months, or any rapid loss that cannot be explained. Consult without delay if it is accompanied by unusual fatigue, fever, night sweats, marked loss of appetite, persistent digestive problems, or unusual thirst. Intentional and progressive weight loss, achieved through an adapted diet and physical activity, does not fall into this category—but it also warrants medical advice if accompanied by persistent fatigue, a drop in performance, or a relationship with food that becomes intrusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can you find in our selection?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe select formulas whose composition is fully transparent: displayed dosages rather than hidden behind a proprietary blend, indicated caffeine content, short ingredient lists.

A wide-mouth shaker, in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/accessoires\"\u003eaccessories\u003c\/a\u003e, limits lumps; for a more substantial snack, pair it with a carbohydrate source such as \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/creme-de-riz\"\u003ecream of rice\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this isolate suitable for, and who is it not suitable for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at three profiles. Those who digest a whey concentrate poorly and are looking for a more filtered powder. Those counting carbohydrates and fat at the end of a cutting phase, where 1.9 g and 0.6 g per serving change the day's calculation. And those taking two to three servings daily, for whom the 2 kg format brings down the price per gram of protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product \u003cstrong\u003econtains MILK and SOYA\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A diagnosed allergy to cow's milk proteins contraindicates it: filtration removes lactose, never the proteins. The manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the event of medical treatment or kidney or liver disorder, the question is one for your doctor or your pharmacist, not for a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat should not be expected of it. It is not a lactose-free product: the residual content is not quantified by the manufacturer, and the presence of lactase in the enzyme complex does not change the composition of the powder. Nor is it a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/perte-du-poids\"\u003eweight loss\u003c\/a\u003e product: it provides a lot of protein for few calories, which helps to maintain a deficit, but it is the deficit that produces the result. Finally, it does not build muscle on its own, without training or sufficient calorie intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIsolate Professional or IO Genix Whey 80 Professional?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the trade-off that matters on this page, and it is settled in favour of the concentrate more often than one might think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/whey-concentree-1\"\u003eWhey 80 Professional\u003c\/a\u003e, from the same brand, contains 82% protein and provides 24.6 g per 30 g serving, against 25 g and 83.1% here. \u003cstrong\u003eThe gap comes down to four tenths of a gram of protein per serving.\u003c\/strong\u003e The concentrate, on the other hand, provides 7.2 g of BCAAs at an 8:1:1 ratio, obtained by directly adding L-leucine, which the isolate does not do. On the price per gram of protein, it wins almost every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe isolate retains three real advantages, and at least one of them must apply to you to justify the price difference. First, the fat: \u003cstrong\u003e0.6 g per serving against 1.0 g\u003c\/strong\u003e. Then a more thorough filtration, hence less residual lactose — the point that matters if shakers sit heavily with you. Finally the 2 kg format, which the Whey 80 does not offer. Note in passing that on carbohydrates the ranking is reversed: 1.9 g here against 1.3 g for the concentrate, because of the cocoa and the yoghurt powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf none of these three points speaks to you, take the concentrate. That is what our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e section already says, and we are not changing our minds because the isolate sells for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 83.1% protein and not 86.91%?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the two figures do not measure the same thing. 86.91% is the proportion of the PROMIKO® isolate ingredient in the recipe for the Chocolat intense flavour, as it appears in the ingredient list. 83.1% is the protein content of the finished powder, that is 25 g for a 30 g serving. It is this second figure that is used to compare two proteins with one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take the 1 kg or the 2 kg?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1 kg covers 33 servings of 30 g, the 2 kg covers 66. At one serving a day, the first lasts a month; at two servings daily, the second lasts barely longer. The 2 kg format lowers the price per gram of protein, provided you keep the same flavour to the end — which not everyone can put up with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the DigeZyme® complex in the formula for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt brings together five enzymes: amylase, protease, lactase, lipase and cellulase, at 30 mg per serving. We limit ourselves to this description. No digestive claim is authorised in Europe for an enzyme complex in a food, and we will therefore attribute no effect to it, whatever other product pages may say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much lactose is left in a serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not know: the manufacturer does not quantify the residual lactose content, and we will not put forward an invented value. What can be said is that the serving provides 1.9 g of carbohydrate in total, of which 0.6 g sugars. In case of severe intolerance, ask for the batch's technical data sheet before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich flavours are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChocolat intense, Milkshake Vanille, Strawberry Cream, Original Black Cookies, Cookies \u0026amp; Cream, Bombon Rocher, Chocolate Amazonico, ChokoKrac, Peanut Butter \u0026amp; Cookies and Salted Caramel. The register is that of the milk dessert. Each exists in 1 kg and in 2 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the nutritional values identical across all flavours?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The figures published here correspond to the Chocolat intense flavour, whose recipe contains fat-reduced cocoa. Flavours without cocoa show slightly different values, particularly on carbohydrates. The label on the tub you receive takes precedence over the one on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you have an isolate without sweeteners?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This one contains sucralose and acesulfame K. If you are looking for an ingredient list without sweeteners or emulsifiers, look at the whey from \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/protealpes\"\u003eProtéalpes\u003c\/a\u003e, produced in France: three ingredients per flavour, a lower protein level for that very reason, and a smaller format.

The choice of format is rarely made well on a screen: in our shop in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier, we set the 1 kg and the 2 kg side by side and we work out the price per gram of

And shortened sleep does more damage to a cutting phase than any fat burner can make up for. If you consistently train in the evening, this is not the right product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-week break has a precise reason: caffeine tolerance sets in fast, within two to three weeks for most people. Beyond that point, the same capsule does very little. The break resets the counter. It is an instruction few manufacturers write down, and this one is worth following.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne capsule a day, not two. The threshold of 400 mg of caffeine a day set by the European Food Safety Authority for a healthy adult is quickly reached once you add the morning coffee, the afternoon tea and a pre-workout. Do the arithmetic before doubling the dose. If you already take a caffeinated \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boosters\"\u003epre-workout\u003c\/a\u003e, space the two intakes out or choose a stimulant-free version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product fits without overlap alongside a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/multivitamines\"\u003emultivitamin complex\u003c\/a\u003e, neither of which supplies any caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Thermo R8 for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits an adult who tolerates caffeine well, who trains in the morning or in the early afternoon, and who is already in a calorie deficit.

It does not target one area of the body. It does not make up for a diet that exceeds your needs. What you will actually feel is the effect of the caffeine: more alertness, a session that starts more easily, sometimes a slightly smaller appetite in the late morning. That is already useful, and it is all that can honestly be said about it. Any question about a treatment, a medical condition or significant weight loss is a matter for your doctor or your pharmacist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThermo R8 or a caffeine-free fat burner?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the real question to ask in this aisle, and it is settled in a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you cope with caffeine and you train before 16:00, Thermo R8 is coherent: 147 mg per capsule, eight actives, one single intake.

That is the equivalent of a double espresso. This figure is the most important one on the label, and it has to be added to your coffee and your pre-workout to work out your total for the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does one bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle holds 120 capsules and the dose is one capsule a day, which comes to 120 days. Since the manufacturer recommends courses of one to two months separated by two-week breaks, one bottle covers two to four full courses in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be taken before an evening session?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is the product's main limitation. The manufacturer sets the cut-off at 16:00. With 147 mg of caffeine and a half-life of several hours, an intake late in the day degrades your sleep. If you train in the evening, turn to a stimulant-free formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take breaks between courses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The manufacturer sets out a course of one to two months, then two weeks off. The reason is simple: caffeine tolerance sets in within two to three weeks, and without a break the same capsule ends up doing nothing. Starting again after the break restores your sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The shell is gelatine, of animal origin. There is no plant-based version of this reference. The eight actives themselves pose no problem, but the capsule that holds them does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the carnitine dose high enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200 mg per capsule is a supporting dose, not a main one. The published protocols on L-carnitine use more like 2 g a day. If carnitine is your objective, take it as a standalone product and consider Thermo R8 for what it is: a formula built around caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this product make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and no product in this aisle does. No weight-loss claim is authorised in Europe for caffeine, green tea, guarana or carnitine. Losing body fat comes from a calorie deficit and physical activity. This type of formula supports an approach already in place, it does not replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy IO Genix Thermo R8?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 120-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

Two hundred milligrams at once, on an empty stomach, does not go the same way for everybody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15:00 rule is the one that matters most, and it is stricter here than on many products: the manufacturer asks that \u003cstrong\u003eno caffeine be taken in the 6 hours before bedtime\u003c\/strong\u003e. The half-life of the molecule is around five hours in an average adult, more in some people. A capsule at 18:00 still means a hundred milligrams or so in circulation at midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCycling is not a whim either. Tolerance to caffeine sets in within a few weeks, and the doses then have to go up to recover the same sensation — which is neither desirable nor sustainable. Five days on for two days off is enough to maintain sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical remarks. The manufacturer advises \u003cstrong\u003eincreasing water intake to 2 or 3 litres a day\u003c\/strong\u003e during use, caffeine having a mild diuretic effect. And it advises against taking it at the same time as other stimulants — tea, coffee, guarana — which amounts to repeating the daily total calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this product for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003efor adults only\u003c\/strong\u003e, and suits those who tolerate caffeine well and want a precise, portable dose with no taste and no preparation. It is also the most economical format in the category: 100 capsules, i.e. more than three months at one intake a day, for the price of a few energy drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer is categorical about the contraindications, and we repeat them as they stand. This product is \u003cstrong\u003enot advised for children or for pregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is \u003cstrong\u003eruled out in the case of a heart condition, high blood pressure, an anxiety disorder, insomnia or hypersensitivity to caffeine\u003c\/strong\u003e. If any of those apply to you, this product is not for you, and that is not negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable for \u003cstrong\u003evegetarians or vegans\u003c\/strong\u003e: the shell is made of gelatine. Nor is it suitable if you train in the evening, for the sleep reasons set out above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe possible side effects are well known and the manufacturer lists them: \u003cstrong\u003enervousness, irritability, palpitations, headaches, digestive upset\u003c\/strong\u003e. They appear mainly in people who are not used to it or at cumulative doses. That is precisely why the trial half-capsule makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat not to expect from it: nothing more than a well-measured coffee. Caffeine does not make up for a short night, it masks it — and the sleep debt itself remains entirely. Nor does it make you lose weight, whatever the label on half of the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-de-graisse\"\u003efat burners\u003c\/a\u003e aisle may say. What it does do is make a session easier to get started, which is already something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaffeine on its own or a complete pre-workout?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the real choice, and the answer depends on what you are trying to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boosters\"\u003epre-workout\u003c\/a\u003e provides, on top of the caffeine, pump and endurance ingredients: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/citrulline\"\u003ecitrulline\u003c\/a\u003e at 4 or 6 g, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/beta-alanine\"\u003ebeta-alanine\u003c\/a\u003e at 3.2 g, often tyrosine or betaine. It is the better choice if you want the complete formula without having to put anything together yourself, and if the sensation of a pump is part of what you are looking for. Its drawback: you pay for the whole thing, including the ingredients you have no interest in, and you do not choose the caffeine dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine on its own does exactly the opposite. You know what you are taking to the milligram, you adjust in half-capsules, and you can combine it with whatever you want — citrulline on its own, beta-alanine on its own, or nothing at all. At 100 capsules a bottle, it is also by far the cheapest option per session. It is the rational choice if you already know what works for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you train in the evening, neither suits: a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/booster-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free pre-workout\u003c\/a\u003e is what to turn to, even if it means losing that kick. On this point, a night's sleep is worth more than a good session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many coffees does 200 mg correspond to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo to three espressos, according to the manufacturer. It is an average equivalent: the content of a coffee varies a great deal with the grind, the machine and the volume. The useful benchmark is EFSA's — 200 mg in a single intake, 400 mg over the day from all sources combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the capsule be opened to take half a dose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and it is even what the manufacturer advises for a first trial. The capsule opens, the powder can be divided. The taste of pure caffeine is extremely bitter: better to close the half back inside the capsule and swallow it than to put it on your tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow late in the day can it be taken?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer asks that none be consumed in the 6 hours before bedtime, and in practice that you stay before 15:00. That is consistent with the half-life of the molecule, around five hours in an average adult — and a good deal more in some people. An evening intake costs a night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy take breaks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause tolerance sets in quickly: after two to three weeks of daily use, the same dose no longer produces the same effect. The manufacturer advises 5 days on for 2 days off, or 3 weeks for 1 week. That is what allows you to keep one capsule effective without raising the doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The shell is made of gelatine, of animal origin. The manufacturer also reports possible traces of gluten, milk, egg, soya, sulphites, fish, molluscs and crustaceans depending on manufacturing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be combined with a pre-workout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically yes, but you have to do the arithmetic. Most pre-workouts contain 150 to 350 mg of caffeine per serving: added to the 200 mg of a capsule, you exceed EFSA's daily benchmark in a single intake.

No additives, no preservatives, no added protein, no flavourings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePasteurisation is what sets this product apart from an egg white separated at home. The liquid is brought to a controlled temperature, high enough to destroy pathogenic micro-organisms but too low to coagulate the albumin. It is this treatment that allows the unopened bottle to be kept at room temperature, below 25 °C, without refrigeration — a detail that changes how a cupboard is organised, since you no longer have to weigh fridge space against the quantity you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-litre bottle is the \u003cstrong\u003eequivalent of 32 egg whites\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the basis of \u003cstrong\u003e30 ml for an average white\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is the second advantage of the format: no more shells, no more separating the yolk, no more yolks piling up in the fridge, and dosing to the millilitre where an egg white varies from one size grade to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does Liot liquid egg white contain?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer \u003cstrong\u003e100 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, the product provides \u003cstrong\u003e49 kcal (207 kJ)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e10.8 g of protein\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1 g of carbohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e of which 0.7 g sugars, \u003cstrong\u003e0.2 g of fat\u003c\/strong\u003e of which 0 g saturates, 0 g of fibre and \u003cstrong\u003e0.42 g of salt\u003c\/strong\u003e. The full table is set out in the nutritional values tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure that matters is the ratio between the first two. The 10.8 g of protein account for close to 90 % of the 49 kcal provided: the product therefore comfortably exceeds the 20 % of energy threshold that European regulations require for the nutrition claim \u003cstrong\u003e\"high protein\"\u003c\/strong\u003e. There are three authorised health claims for protein, and they are the only ones we will write: \u003cstrong\u003eprotein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo honest clarifications are called for. The first: this egg white is \u003cstrong\u003enot entirely free from fat\u003c\/strong\u003e. It contains 0.2 g per 100 g, and 1 g of carbohydrate. You often read \"zero fat\" and \"100 % pure protein\" on this kind of product page; that is untrue in the light of the label, even if the amounts are small. The second: the manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003edoes not publish a quantified amino acid profile\u003c\/strong\u003e for this reference, nor a density allowing millilitres to be converted exactly into grams. So we give the values per 100 g as they appear on the label, and the practical volume equivalents separately, without mixing the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Liot liquid egg white?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle before each use, then pour out the volume you want. The benchmarks are simple: \u003cstrong\u003e30 ml for one egg white\u003c\/strong\u003e, 90 ml for three, 150 to 200 ml for an omelette for two to three people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rule that overrides all the others: \u003cstrong\u003enever consume this product raw.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pasteurisation reduces the microbiological risk, it does not remove it, and the manufacturer requires cooking before consumption. That rules out the cold shaker, whatever gym habits may say. The real uses are therefore cooked: omelettes and scrambled eggs, pancakes, muffins and cakes, meringues, or folding it into a preparation that will go in the oven or the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the bottle is open, storage changes completely: \u003cstrong\u003ein the fridge between 0 and 4 °C, and to be used within 48 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is the point buyers get wrong most often, because ambient storage before opening suggests a flexibility that disappears the moment the cap is first unscrewed. An opened litre needs planning over two days: two omelettes and a batch of pancakes, for example. The product is for adults only, and its use is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this product for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at people who cook regularly and want to raise their protein intake without going through a powder: savoury breakfasts, batch cooking for the week, lighter baking. It also helps anyone who digests dairy protein poorly, since it contains none — much like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines-vegetales\"\u003eplant proteins\u003c\/a\u003e, but with a complete amino acid profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product \u003cstrong\u003econtains EGGS\u003c\/strong\u003e and may contain traces of \u003cstrong\u003eGLUTEN, MILK and SOYA\u003c\/strong\u003e. An egg allergy rules it out absolutely, with no room for nuance: it is an egg white, not a derivative. It is for adults only, not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and it must never be consumed raw. On any question of allergy or particular diet, speak to your doctor or your pharmacist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it. It is not a shaker protein: the requirement to cook it makes it a cooking ingredient, not a post-session drink — for that, look instead at our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e powders. It is not a slimming product: 49 kcal per 100 g help build a low-calorie meal, but it is the meal doing the work, not the bottle. And it is not economical per gram of protein: at 10.8 g per 100 g, you have to pour a lot of it to reach the amounts a scoop of powder delivers in one go. We would rather say so before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLiquid egg white or egg protein powder?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth come from the same food, and they do not answer the same need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteine-doeuf\"\u003eEgg protein powder\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice in three cases. When you want a shaker: it can be drunk, which the liquid does not allow. When you travel or work away from home, since it requires neither cold storage nor cooking. And when you are aiming for a high protein intake, because it comes in at around 80 g of protein per 100 g of powder where the liquid provides 10.8 g per 100 g of product. On these three points, the bottle clearly loses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiquid egg white wins wherever cooking comes into play. It binds a preparation, it gives an omelette or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/pancakes-proteines\"\u003eprotein pancakes\u003c\/a\u003e the texture of a real egg — a reconstituted powder cannot manage that. It also wins on composition, with a single ingredient and no sweeteners, and on price per litre against the cost of a tub of powder. In practice, plenty of people keep both: the powder for shakers, the bottle for the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can you find liquid egg white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the question most often asked about this product, and availability in supermarkets remains patchy from one chain and one region to the next. The Liot brand is distributed in France; we stock it on this page, in stock, with same-day dispatch on any order placed before 14:00 and collection within two hours at our shop in Vendargues, near Montpellier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many egg whites are there in a one-litre bottle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe equivalent of 32 whites, on the basis of 30 ml for an average egg white. A litre therefore represents roughly 108 g of protein in total, to be spread over the 48 hours following opening — that is where the real constraint lies, not in the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you drink it raw in a shaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The manufacturer requires cooking before consumption, and that instruction overrides the widespread use of raw egg white in bodybuilding. Pasteurisation reduces the microbiological risk without eliminating it, and raw white is in any case poorly digested. If you want a protein to drink, take a powder designed for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it really keep outside the fridge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but only while the bottle is unopened, at a temperature below 25 °C. After opening, the product must go into the fridge between 0 and 4 °C and be used within 48 hours. That is the distinction that matters, and the one most often forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes liquid egg white contain cholesterol?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cholesterol in an egg is found in the yolk, not in the white. The bottle provides only 0.2 g of fat per 100 g. On any question of lipid profile or a prescribed diet, the person to talk to is your doctor, not a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it whisk to stiff peaks as well as a fresh white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is the most common disappointment with this product — better said before you buy. Pasteurisation has already begun to denature the proteins that stabilise the foam: the white does whip up, but more slowly, with less volume, and it collapses faster than a fresh white. What genuinely helps: take it out twenty to thirty minutes beforehand, use a perfectly grease-free bowl and whisk (stainless steel or glass, never plastic), add a few drops of lemon or a pinch of cream of tartar, and allow twice the whisking time. For a chocolate mousse, a soufflé or classic meringues, it works very well. For macarons or an Italian meringue, where the stability of the foam is critical, use fresh egg whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat recipes can you make with liquid egg white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmelettes, scrambled eggs, pancakes, meringues, cakes and financiers make up the bulk of it.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free fat burner\u003c\/a\u003e or a complex, read its composition again before adding this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 200 µg a lot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take it with a meal or on an empty stomach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy avoid coffee when you take it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes chromium make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you take it alongside a multivitamin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy IO Genix's Chromium Picolinate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

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.

It is traceability information that the manufacturer prints on the label; we report it as such, without turning it into an efficacy argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the regulatory side, the position is clear: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is authorised in Europe for L-carnitine.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients list\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-carnitine tartrate (Carnipure), anti-caking agent (magnesium stearate), capsule shell (\u003cstrong\u003eGELATINE\u003c\/strong\u003e). No stimulants and no added sugars. The exact composition of the shell appears on the label of the bottle you receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay contain traces of GLUTEN, EGG, FISH, SOYA and MILK.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you take Carni3000?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDose:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 capsules. \u003cstrong\u003eLiquid:\u003c\/strong\u003e a large glass of water. \u003cstrong\u003eWhen:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 minutes before training; on rest days, in the morning on an empty stomach. \u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e one dose a day. \u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e a 6 to 8 week course, followed by a week off according to the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe capsule format is a genuine advantage here over the liquid format\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-de-graisse\"\u003efat burners\u003c\/a\u003e aisle. It combines without difficulty with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e or an \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3\"\u003eomega 3\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Carni3000 for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne important reservation for the first profile, however: the capsule shell is gelatine, of animal origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, asks that it be \u003cstrong\u003ekept out of the reach of children\u003c\/strong\u003e and that you \u003cstrong\u003econsult a healthcare professional if you are on medical treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The product may contain traces of gluten, egg, fish, soya and milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat not to expect from it, and this is the point on which we are most direct: \u003cstrong\u003ethis is not a fat burner.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/perte-du-poids\"\u003eweight loss\u003c\/a\u003e aisle will not change that rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarnitine or a burner with caffeine, which should you choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two cross paths in the same cutting-phase basket, and they do not do the same thing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-en-gelules\"\u003ecapsule burner\u003c\/a\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarnitine, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your priority is a stimulant-free product that you can nonetheless feel, look instead at our plant-based \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free burners\u003c\/a\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 2,000 mg of tartrate but 1,360 mg of carnitine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould it be taken before or after training?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExactly 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there any caffeine in it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be combined with a conventional burner?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to buy IO Genix Carni3000?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 90-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

The figures correspond to the Strawberry flavour and may vary slightly from one flavour to another. \u003cstrong\u003eOne inconsistency worth flagging:\u003c\/strong\u003e the manufacturer declares 0.5 mg of vitamin B6 per serving and states 118 % of the NRV. Yet the European nutrient reference value for vitamin B6 is 1.4 mg: 0.5 mg represents roughly 36 % of it. We reproduce the amount exactly as declared and flag the discrepancy rather than settling it on the brand's behalf.

Referred back to the powder, that gives \u003cstrong\u003e86.6 % protein\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the top of the range for a clear whey — many stop at around 80 %.

It contains 0.06 g of sugars and 0.03 g of fat per serving. These are negligible amounts over the course of a day, and the product comfortably meets the regulatory thresholds allowing the \"high protein\" and \"low fat\" statements — but zero means zero, and that is not the case here. The claims authorised for protein are precise: \u003cstrong\u003eit contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Pour the water in first, then the powder, shake, then \u003cstrong\u003elet the foam settle\u003c\/strong\u003e for about thirty seconds before drinking: whey proteins are surface-active and stabilise the bubbles. The more you shake, the longer the foam holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things you must never do with a clear whey. \u003cstrong\u003eNever mix it with milk\u003c\/strong\u003e: the acidity destabilises the casein, and the mixture curdles and turns grainy. And \u003cstrong\u003enever cook with it\u003c\/strong\u003e: a clear whey coagulates with heat and has no business in a pancake. For cooking, keep a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/whey-concentree-1\"\u003ewhey concentrate\u003c\/a\u003e. Served very cold, with crushed ice, it is noticeably better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Iso Clear for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest use case is this one: you can no longer face milky shakes. Digestive heaviness, the taste of vanilla every single day, or simply a summer session after which nothing creamy will go down. A protein you do not drink is of no use to anyone, and that is exactly where this format earns its place. During a cutting phase, 105 kcal a serving is also hard to beat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable in several cases. The product \u003cstrong\u003econtains MILK\u003c\/strong\u003e and may contain traces of \u003cstrong\u003eNUTS, EGGS, FISH and SOYA\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the event of a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy it is contraindicated: filtration removes the lactose, not the proteins. It is \u003cstrong\u003enot recommended for children or pregnant women\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A clear isolate is neither better nor less well absorbed than a standard isolate, and the 26 g of protein do exactly the same job. The difference is one of comfort, not of performance. And it is not a slimming product: it helps you hold a deficit, and it is the deficit that does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIso Clear or a standard whey isolate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth start from the same raw material. What separates them is the formulation and the use you will make of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003estandard whey isolate\u003c\/strong\u003e wins in three situations. You take two or three servings a day: the price per kilo of protein becomes decisive, and the standard isolate is almost always better placed. You cook with your powder: a clear whey coagulates, a standard whey does not. You want a creamy drink that keeps you going between two meals: a clear whey, by design, does not satisfy in the same way. On those three points, Iso Clear loses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIso Clear wins when the drink itself is the problem. Difficulty digesting milky shakes, weariness of the milky taste, the urge for a cold, tangy drink at the end of a session. It also wins on protein density: \u003cstrong\u003e86.6 %\u003c\/strong\u003e puts this product above the average for its category. The calculation that settles it is the same on both sides: price of the tub, divided by its weight in kilos, divided by the protein content per 100 g. Do it before you buy.

What we do know for certain: the reference serving weighs 30 g and provides 26 g of protein. Divide the weight shown on the packaging by 30 to get the count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be mixed with milk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The acidity of the formula makes the casein in milk flocculate: the mixture curdles and turns grainy. Use cold water, 250 ml per 30 g serving. That is a constraint of every product in this category, not a fault of this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain lactose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery little. The filtration process removes most of the lactose and the fat, which explains the 0.36 g of carbohydrate per serving. Many people who struggle with a whey concentrate tolerate it without difficulty. Take care not to confuse this with milk protein allergy, which rules the product out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the stated vitamin B6 percentage not add up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer declares 0.5 mg per serving and states 118 % of the NRV, which is inconsistent with the European reference value of 1.4 mg. We flag the discrepancy rather than correcting it ourselves. In any case, vitamin B6 is not the reason to buy this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you avoid the foam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour the water in before the powder, shake moderately, then let it stand for thirty seconds. Taking the metal whisk out of the shaker helps a great deal. Made in advance and left in the fridge for an hour, the drink is more pleasant and completely clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used in baking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A clear whey coagulates when cooked and gives a rubbery texture. For pancakes, cookies or protein cakes, you need a whey concentrate or a casein from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/caseines\"\u003ecasein\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the composition change from one flavour to another?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, slightly. The published values correspond to the Strawberry flavour, where the isolate accounts for 96.82 % of the formula and the protein concentration reaches 86.6 %. The manufacturer indicates a content of around 86 % depending on the flavour.

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.

A change linked to body fluids is not a loss of body fat.

It is therefore impossible to know how much beta-alanine, carnitine or green tea extract you are actually taking. That is the manufacturer's right, it is also the product's limitation, and we would rather write it down than work around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same goes for the vitamins and the chromium: \u003cstrong\u003etheir amounts do not appear in the labelling data available to us.\u003c\/strong\u003e Yet a nutrition or health claim can only be used if the product provides at least 15% of the nutrient reference value per serving. Without figures, that threshold cannot be checked, and we will therefore make \u003cstrong\u003eno claim\u003c\/strong\u003e for the vitamin C, the B5, the B12 or the chromium in this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat leaves the figure that really counts. \u003cstrong\u003e200 mg of caffeine is the equivalent of two to three espressos in a single glass.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is a straightforward dose, at the level of a full pre-workout, and it is what you will feel. For reference, EFSA considers that a single intake of 200 mg and a total of 400 mg per day raise no safety concern in healthy adults. You are exactly at the single-intake limit — hence the importance of what follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, 10 kcal per serving and 1 g of carbohydrate: the drink is nutritionally neutral. It does not break a fast in the caloric sense of the term and slots into a calorie-restricted diet without a second thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow should The Ripper be taken?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDose:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 g, i.e. one scoop. \u003cstrong\u003eLiquid:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 to 250 ml of well-chilled water. \u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 to 30 minutes before breakfast, or 30 to 45 minutes before the session. \u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 serving per day, 2 at most for regular users, the second 5 to 6 hours after the first and \u003cstrong\u003enever after 16:00\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e cycles of 60 days at most, followed by 2 to 4 weeks off. The tub covers 30 days at one serving per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a single serving for two days, long enough to gauge your tolerance. This is not a token precaution: with 200 mg of caffeine in one go, a body unused to it may react with trembling, a racing heart or nausea. If that happens to you, half a scoop will do perfectly well, and you will lose nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse well-chilled water: it dissolves better and the taste is markedly more pleasant. Start at 180 ml and go up to 250 ml if the flavour seems too concentrated to you. Drink immediately after making it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16:00 rule is not negotiable. Caffeine has a half-life of several hours: a serving taken at 17:00 is still working at midnight, and degraded sleep largely cancels out whatever you hoped to gain during the day. Finally, drink enough water throughout the day, and do not combine this product with a caffeinated pre-workout \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boosters\"\u003ebooster\u003c\/a\u003e: you would double the dose without noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is The Ripper for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at healthy adults over 18, used to stimulants, and running a calorie deficit.

It is unpleasant the first time, harmless, and it fades. Caffeine, for its part, can cause \u003cstrong\u003enervousness, restlessness and insomnia\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially if you add coffee on top during the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for allergens, none is an ingredient, but the product is made in a facility that handles \u003cstrong\u003ePEANUTS, TREE NUTS, MILK, EGG, WHEAT, CRUSTACEANS, FISH and SOYA\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the event of a severe allergy to any of them, refrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it, and this is the most important paragraph on this page: \u003cstrong\u003ethis product does not make you lose weight.\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Fat burner\" is a commercial category name, not a promise of an effect, and no weight-loss claim is authorised for the ingredients in this formula. What caffeine does is make you more alert and more inclined to train. The rest — the calorie deficit — is your work, and without it this tub will be of no use at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Ripper or a caffeine-free burner?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the real decision in this category, and it does not depend on the formula but on your day. The question to ask yourself is simple: how much caffeine do you already consume, and at what time do you train?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA product from our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free fat burner\u003c\/a\u003e section is the better choice in three very common cases. If you already drink three or four coffees during the day — add them up, you will be surprised by the total. If you train in the evening, because no adjustment of timing will make 200 mg of caffeine compatible with a 20:00 session. And if you are simply sensitive: palpitations, clammy hands, anxiety. In those situations the stimulant-free option is objectively better, and we would rather tell you so than sell you this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ripper keeps two clear advantages. The drink format first: 5 g in a large glass of cold water is more pleasant than a handful of capsules and it contributes to morning hydration. Then the straightforward caffeine dose: if you are looking for a kick before a fasted session, 200 mg does the job without needing a pre-workout on top. If you would still rather have the capsule format, the whole \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleurs-en-gelules\"\u003ecapsule burners\u003c\/a\u003e section answers the same intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much caffeine is in one serving, and can two be taken?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200 mg per 5 g serving. Two servings come to 400 mg, the daily total that EFSA considers to raise no safety concern in healthy adults — but on condition that you drink nothing else caffeinated alongside. The manufacturer caps it at two servings per day, the second 5 to 6 hours after the first and never after 16:00.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the ingredient doses not stated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the manufacturer publishes them as proprietary blends: 2,500 mg for the first, 1,450 mg for the second, without detailing the share of each ingredient. Only the caffeine is quantified separately. You therefore cannot compare item by item with a product that does set out its own amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does the tingling after taking it come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the beta-alanine. It is a known effect, called paraesthesia: a pins-and-needles sensation on the face, the neck or the arms, appearing 15 to 20 minutes after taking it and lasting half an hour. It is harmless and it lessens with habit. Taking the serving with a little food often eases the sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be taken on an empty stomach in the morning?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that is the way of using it chosen by the manufacturer: 15 to 30 minutes before breakfast. At 10 kcal, the drink weighs nothing. Just be aware that 200 mg of caffeine on an empty stomach hits harder and sometimes sits less well — if you feel nauseous, take it after a few mouthfuls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be combined with a pre-workout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, not on the same day and above all not a few hours apart. Most pre-workouts contain 150 to 300 mg of caffeine; by combining them, you would go well beyond the 400 mg daily figure. Choose one or the other. The same care applies to a tea, a soft drink or a coffee taken straight afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a tub last, and should a break be taken?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states 30 days of daily use per tub, at one serving per day. It recommends cycles of 60 days at most followed by 2 to 4 weeks off. That break has a real point: tolerance to caffeine sets in quickly, and it is stopping that resets it, not raising the dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this product cause weight loss on its own?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. No weight-loss claim is authorised for these ingredients, and we will make none. What causes fat loss is a calorie deficit held over time. A stimulant can help you train when motivation is lacking — that is a helping hand, not a mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can I buy JNX Sports The Ripper?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is exactly the kind of product where a two-minute conversation prevents a bad purchase.

That is the point to take away ahead of everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo health claim is authorised in Europe for synephrine, rauwolscine, theobromine or gamma-butyrobetaine. \"Fat burner\" is the commercial name of the category, not a promise of results, and we will leave it at that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow should you take Lipo-6 Black Ultra Concentrate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's protocol is precise, so follow it to the letter. \u003cstrong\u003eOne capsule in the morning, one capsule in the afternoon\u003c\/strong\u003e, between meals and on an empty stomach, leaving \u003cstrong\u003eat least 6 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e between the two servings. \u003cstrong\u003eTwo capsules per day maximum.\u003c\/strong\u003e Never within the 6 hours before bedtime: at 200 mg a serving, your sleep picks up the bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are sensitive to stimulants, or if this is your first fat burner at this dosage level, start with \u003cstrong\u003ea single capsule in the morning for the first week\u003c\/strong\u003e and only add the second one afterwards. This is not token caution: at 400 mg, palpitations and headaches give no warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first serving goes 30 minutes before breakfast, the second in the middle of the afternoon, or 30 to 45 minutes before training if you train early in the day. As for the length of a course, the manufacturer states \u003cstrong\u003e4 to 8 weeks of use, followed by a break of at least 4 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e. A 60-capsule bottle covers one month at the full dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the course, do not stack other caffeine sources — coffee, tea, energy drinks, and certainly not a stimulant pre-workout from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boosters\"\u003epre-workouts\u003c\/a\u003e aisle.

And bear in mind that the calorie deficit does all the work: this product replaces neither what is on your plate nor your training sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this fat burner for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at adults already accustomed to stimulants, in a properly structured cutting phase, looking for a kick from unapologetic dosages. As a first purchase in the category it is too much: start lower down the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of contraindications is long and serious. \u003cstrong\u003eNot for anyone under 18, nor for pregnant or breastfeeding women.\u003c\/strong\u003e Avoid it in cases of caffeine sensitivity, heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders or psychiatric disorders. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not combine it with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, antidepressants, or medicines containing phenylephrine, ephedrine or pseudoephedrine.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer asks that you stop taking the product 2 weeks before any surgical procedure. Stop immediately in the event of rapid heartbeat, dizziness, severe headaches or shortness of breath, and speak to a doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product may contain traces of \u003cstrong\u003eGLUTEN, MILK, EGGS, SOYA, FISH, CRUSTACEANS and NUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A thermogenic fat burner acts on alertness and the feeling of having energy, which helps you stick to a diet — the diet itself still has to be done.

In those cases the dosage question does not even arise, and a product built on L-carnitine, chromium or non-stimulant plant extracts will be the smarter call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLipo-6 Black Ultra Concentrate keeps the advantage on one point: the convenience and the transparency of its caffeine dosage. Two capsules swallowed, nothing to mix, 200 mg per serving that you can work out exactly. The powders in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-en-poudre\"\u003epowder fat burners\u003c\/a\u003e aisle often provide more actives with stated amounts, but they require a shaker.

Two months if you stay on one capsule daily, which is the pace advised for the first week and often enough for people who are sensitive to stimulants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much caffeine is there really per day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e400 mg at the full dose, that is 200 mg per capsule. That is the equivalent of roughly four strong espressos split across two servings. Any other caffeine source during the day adds to that total: this is precisely why the manufacturer asks you to cut them out for the duration of the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the dosages of the other actives not stated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Nutrex groups them into a proprietary blend, a common practice in the United States. Caffeine is the only one with a figure. We flag that gap rather than fill it in: no figure for synephrine, rauwolscine, theobromine or GBBGO® appears on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be taken before training instead of a pre-workout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second serving can indeed be placed 30 to 45 minutes before the session. What you must not do is stack the two products: a standard pre-workout often adds 200 to 350 mg of caffeine, and you would go well beyond the 400 mg per day benchmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the liquid capsule make any difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of comfort, yes: a Liqui-Cap goes down easily and leaves no aftertaste. In terms of effects, the manufacturer publishes no comparative data against a powder capsule, and we are not going to invent any. Treat it as a question of format, not of performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take breaks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The manufacturer states 4 to 8 weeks of use followed by a break of at least 4 weeks. Sensitivity to caffeine dulls with continuous use, and the break serves as much to restore the effect as to give your system a rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it compatible with medical treatment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot without medical advice. The interactions listed by the manufacturer involve monoamine oxidase inhibitors, antidepressants and decongestants in particular. If you are on any form of treatment, the answer belongs to your doctor or your pharmacist, not to a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Lipo-6 Black Ultra Concentrate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60-capsule bottle can be ordered on this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. This is a product we would rather talk through before selling: in our shop in Vendargues, about ten minutes from Montpellier, the first question we ask is always how much coffee you have already drunk that day and what time you train.

A protein you do not drink is of no use: that is the soundest use case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product \u003cstrong\u003econtains MILK\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is made in a facility that also handles \u003cstrong\u003eSOYA, EGG and FISH\u003c\/strong\u003e, and may contain traces of them. In the case of a diagnosed allergy to cow's milk proteins, it is contraindicated: filtration removes the lactose, not the proteins. The manufacturer advises against it for \u003cstrong\u003echildren under 12\u003c\/strong\u003e and invites pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as people on medication, to seek advice before use. Any kidney or liver condition is a matter for your doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat not to expect from it: the 300 mg of electrolytes per serving do not make it a sports drink. With 1 g of carbohydrate, the formula meets none of the European conditions that would allow a claim on hydration or on endurance. If that is what you are after, look instead at our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electrolytes\"\u003eelectrolytes\u003c\/a\u003e. Nor does it make you lose weight: it supplies a lot of protein for few calories, which helps you hold a deficit, but it is the deficit that does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClear Isolate or a conventional whey isolate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth rest on the same raw material. The difference lies in the formulation and, above all, in what you will do with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/whey-isolate-1\"\u003ewhey isolate\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice in three clear cases: you have a high protein requirement to cover and you take two or three servings a day, in which case the price per kilo of protein becomes decisive; you cook with your powder; or you prefer a creamy drink that keeps you going between two meals. On those three points, Clear Isolate loses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear Isolate wins when the drink itself is the problem: milky shakes that are hard to digest, weariness of the milky taste, the urge for a cold, tart drink at the end of a session. It also wins on density, with 20 g of protein in a 25 g serving where many clear wheys stop at 18 g. The calculation that settles it remains the same: price of the tub, divided by its weight in kilos, divided by the protein content per 100 g. Do it on both sides before buying. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/proteines\"\u003eprotein\u003c\/a\u003e aisle lets you compare every family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many servings does a 689 g tub contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-seven 25 g servings. At one serving a day, that covers almost a month; at two servings on training days only, count on longer. The manufacturer states a shelf life of 24 months in the unopened original packaging, kept away from moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the nutritional values change with the flavour?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlightly. The published figures correspond to the Blue Raspberry flavour, and the manufacturer notes that the others may vary a little. The flavours available are Blue Raspberry, Cherry Limeade, Peach Mango and Strawberry Lemonade. The blue colouring is spirulina, present only in the relevant flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should Clear Isolate be taken during the day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty minutes before the session, just after, or at any time to make up a shortfall in intake. The thirty-minute window people talked about fifteen years ago no longer holds: what determines the result is the day's total protein. In practice, take it at the moment you will actually drink it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be mixed with milk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is a manufacturer's instruction, not a preference. The acidity of the formula destabilises the casein in milk: the mixture curdles and turns grainy. Use very cold water, 350 to 400 ml per serving. Crushed ice improves the result further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the 300 mg of electrolytes replace a sports drink?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Set against the volume of the preparation, the 120 mg of sodium per serving remain well below the levels that characterise a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution within the meaning of European regulation, and the formula supplies only one gram of carbohydrate. Those minerals improve the drink's profile; they do not turn it into an endurance drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain lactose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraces only: this is an isolate, filtered to the point of removing most of the lactose and the fat. Many people troubled by a whey concentrate tolerate it without difficulty. Take care not to confuse this with an allergy to cow's milk proteins, which rules the product out — filtration does not remove the proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you avoid the foam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour the water in first, the powder second, shake, then leave it to stand for 30 seconds as the manufacturer indicates. Whey proteins are surface-active and stabilise bubbles: the harder you shake, the longer the foam holds. Taking the metal whisk out of the shaker and diluting generously settles the matter. Made in advance and left to chill, the drink is better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to buy Rule One Clear Isolate 689 g?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page lets you order the flavours, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

And the labelling data we hold lists colourings under their American names (FD\u0026amp;C Red #40, Blue #1, Yellow #5 and #6) as well as titanium dioxide: these are North American labelling conventions, and the composition of a version intended for the European market may differ.

A product from our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free fat burner\u003c\/a\u003e range is the better choice if you already drink coffee, if you take a stimulant pre-workout, if you train late in the day, or if you tolerate stimulants poorly. It is also the only workable option for anyone who has to keep an eye on their blood pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal Cuts is the better choice if you are starting from zero where stimulants are concerned, if you prefer a single sachet in the morning to a pile of tubs to manage, and if the cycled protocol suits you. Its all-in-one format is its real advantage: it avoids the stacking of supplements that nobody really keeps track of taking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a third route, and it is often the right one: take no stimulant at all and put the budget into your daily protein intake, the item that changes the most during a calorie deficit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many sachets of Animal Cuts a day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne sachet a day on waking, with a light meal and 250 ml of water. The advanced protocol allows a second sachet 4 to 6 hours later, but at two sachets you reach 400 mg of caffeine over the day from this product alone. Start with one, whatever your experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a box of 42 sachets last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForty-two days at one sachet a day, that is two complete three-week cycles separated by a week off. At two sachets a day, the box lasts three weeks, in other words a single cycle. The cost-per-day calculation doubles depending on which protocol you follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Animal Cuts make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and nobody can claim it does: no weight-loss claim is authorised for this type of product in Europe. A change in body composition comes from a calorie deficit, protein intake, training and sleep. A supplement is no substitute for any of the four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the product suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The capsules contain bovine gelatine, which rules out vegetarian and vegan diets as well as anyone who does not eat beef. The manufacturer also flags possible traces of soya. If that is a deal-breaker for you, look instead at a powder form or a vegetable capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take it on non-training days?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the manufacturer's protocol is daily throughout the three weeks of the cycle, training or not, since it is taken on waking rather than before the session. That is a difference from a pre-workout, which is kept for training days. Do not combine the two on the same day without having added up your total caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do you need to drink more during the course?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the formula contains an 800 mg diuretic complex based on nettle and dandelion root, and caffeine pushes in the same direction. The manufacturer stresses increased hydration throughout the cycle. If you train in hot weather, give some thought to your \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electrolytes\"\u003eelectrolytes\u003c\/a\u003e as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be combined with a pre-workout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is not advised on the same day without doing the arithmetic. One sachet already provides 200 mg of caffeine, and most boosters contain as much, if not more. EFSA takes 400 mg a day as the reference total for a healthy adult, coffee and tea included. Beyond that, adverse effects increase with nothing gained in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Animal Cuts 42 packs?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can order it on this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

In practice, one serving is the equivalent of two short espressos. It is neither timid nor excessive: it is calibrated to work without forcing you to split the dose.

It also contributes to an increase in endurance performance and to a reduction in the rated perceived exertion, at 3 mg per kilogram of body weight before exercise. No claim covers weight loss or fat burning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e100 mg of theanine\u003c\/strong\u003e is the other good idea in the formula.

Half a serving for three days tells you everything you need to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important rule is a matter of timing: \u003cstrong\u003enothing after 15:00\u003c\/strong\u003e. Caffeine has a half-life of five to six hours, which means a serving taken at 17:00 still leaves 100 mg in the blood at 23:00. The manufacturer recommends avoiding any intake in the six hours before bedtime, and that is a minimum. If the evening is the only time you can train, this is not the right product: turn instead to a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bruleur-de-graisse-sans-cafeine\"\u003ecaffeine-free burner\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink more than usual while you are on it.

What it actually does is supply energy and alertness at a point when the calorie deficit is stripping them from you, which makes sessions easier and the day less of a slog.

The reason is simple: tolerance to caffeine sets in within a few weeks, and at high tolerance the same dose no longer does much. The break is there to restore sensitivity, not to “cleanse” anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this product make you lose weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. No food supplement brings about weight loss on its own, and no claim of that kind is authorised in Europe for these ingredients.

We prefer to put that in black and white rather than repeat figures seen elsewhere: without a quantity, it is impossible to say whether the acetyl L-carnitine is present at 500 mg or at 50 mg, and the difference is not trivial.

A serving of Shred X therefore already puts you slightly above the first benchmark, before your morning coffee has even been counted. That is why the manufacturer sets a limit of one serving a day, not two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe green tea extract calls for the same vigilance.\u003c\/strong\u003e At 95% polyphenols, 450 mg of extract is a serious concentration.

No weight loss claim exists in Europe for its ingredients, and if a seller promises you one, they are stepping outside the legal framework. It does not make up for a diet in surplus, targets no area of the body, and replaces neither the calorie deficit nor the training. What it genuinely brings is alertness and perceived energy before a session — which is already an honest reason to buy it, provided you do not ask more of it. The real work is done on the plate, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/perte-du-poids\"\u003eweight loss\u003c\/a\u003e aisle brings together the products that support that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShred X in powder or a fat burner in capsules?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the concrete choice facing most buyers in this aisle, and it is settled on two criteria: the dose and the flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowder lets you adjust, a capsule does not.\u003c\/strong\u003e With Shred X you can take half a scoop for the first few days to assess your tolerance at 114 mg of caffeine before moving to the full serving.

That is the case if you train in the evening, if you tolerate stimulants poorly, or if you already take caffeine elsewhere.

The quantities of acetyl L-carnitine, choline, theanine, tyrosine, gymnema and Pro GBB are not published.

A fat burner accompanies a calorie deficit and regular training, it does not replace them.

In every case, stick to one serving a day.

Choose one or the other depending on the session, never both on the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Applied Nutrition Shred X?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tub can be ordered from this page in the available flavours, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, we systematically advise starting at half a serving with this product: 228 mg of caffeine in one go, when you are not used to it, is distinctly noticeable.

And those who digest lactose poorly: less than 0.1 g per 100 ml of drink is one of the best tolerated forms of whey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product \u003cstrong\u003econtains MILK\u003c\/strong\u003e and may contain traces of \u003cstrong\u003eSOYA\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEGG\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e owing to manufacture in a shared facility. An allergy to cow's milk protein rules it out: filtration removes the lactose, never the proteins. The manufacturer invites pregnant or breastfeeding women to seek professional advice and refers you to your doctor in the event of kidney trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does not suit you if you cook with your powder, if you are looking for a drink that keeps you going between meals, or if you take two or three servings a day: at that rate, the price per kilo of protein becomes the deciding criterion and a conventional isolate wins out. Nor is it a drink for during exercise: it provides neither carbohydrate nor electrolytes in useful amounts. For that, see our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electrolytes\"\u003eelectrolytes\u003c\/a\u003e or our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/eaa\"\u003eEAAs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eESN Clear Whey Isolate or Rule One Clear Isolate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell both, and they are not separated by quality but by three figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eserving\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 g at ESN for 25 g of protein, against 25 g at \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/rule-one\"\u003eRule One\u003c\/a\u003e for 20 g of protein. If you are aiming for a high intake in a single serving, ESN comes out ahead. The \u003cstrong\u003evolume\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 ml against 350 to 400 ml. The ESN version takes longer to drink and is more thirst-quenching; the Rule One one is closer to a conventional shaker format.

ESN wins if you are after the maximum protein per serving and a drink that lasts the whole session. And if the main criterion is budget, then neither: a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/whey-concentree-1\"\u003ewhey concentrate\u003c\/a\u003e is enough for most people, and an isolate is only justified by lactose intolerance, a tight cutting phase or a genuine digestive problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is a clear whey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whey isolate formulated to stay clear in an acidic medium. Where a conventional whey gives an opaque, milky drink, a clear whey gives a transparent, tangy drink, close to a juice. The raw material is the same; it is the formula that changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 500 ml of water and not 250?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the formula is acidic and very concentrated in protein. Below 400 ml, the acidity dominates, the foam persists and the drink becomes hard to finish. The 500 ml recommended by ESN make it a drink to sip during exercise rather than a shake to down in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich flavours are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Cherry, Iced Tea Peach, Iced Tea Peach-Mango, Green Apple, Blackberry and Cactus Fruit. The salt varies according to the flavour, as the manufacturer does not publish a single value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many servings does the tub contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not know for certain: the net weight of the pack does not appear in the data passed on by the manufacturer, and we do not publish a number of servings calculated on an assumption. Ask us before ordering and we will check on the tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be mixed with milk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is not a question of taste. The acidity of the formula destabilises the casein in milk: the mixture curdles and turns grainy. Use very cold water. Crushed ice improves the result further, especially on the iced tea flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable in cases of lactose intolerance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn most cases, yes: less than 0.1 g of lactose per 100 ml of prepared drink is very low. Take care not to confuse lactose intolerance with an allergy to cow's milk protein: in the second case, the product is contraindicated, whatever the degree of filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference from ESN Designer Whey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigner Whey is a blend of concentrate and isolate, to be drunk in 200 ml, with a milkshake texture and milky flavours. Clear Whey Isolate is an isolate on its own, to be drunk in 500 ml, translucent and fruity. The first can be cooked with, the second cannot. They are not aimed at the same moment of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy ESN Clear Whey Isolate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavours can be ordered here, and we ship throughout France and Europe.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003cstrong\u003eprotein\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 19.8 mg of p-synephrine a lot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is just under the threshold of 20 mg a day recommended by ANSES for synephrine in supplements intended for athletes.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the shell is made of gelatine of animal origin.

The manufacturer rules out in particular cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes, prostate adenoma, depression and thyroid disorders.

What you will feel is the effect of 200 mg of caffeine: alertness and a sense of energy.

That is the equivalent of about two espressos swallowed at once. EFSA considers that single intakes of 200 mg do not raise concerns for a healthy adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy should it never be taken on an empty stomach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the manufacturer writes it explicitly, and because such a load of caffeine and bitter orange extract in an empty stomach frequently causes nausea, palpitations or faintness.

Only chromium has claims, covering the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and macronutrient metabolism.

Most pre-workouts already contain 150 to 300 mg of caffeine: added to the 200 mg in this capsule, you reach levels that are no longer comfortable at all. Choose one or the other, or switch to a caffeine-free version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The capsule is vegetable, made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and no ingredient in the formula is of animal origin. It is one of the few products in this range in that position, most using gelatine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does ANSES say about synephrine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe agency has called for caution regarding supplements containing synephrine, particularly when it is combined with caffeine and consumed during intense physical exercise.
