Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active complex, Citri-Sculpt Blend (900 mg), utilizes Mediterranean citrus extracts. At a cellular level, these bioactive compounds may influence metabolic pathways related to lipid metabolism and thermogenesis. By interacting with cellular receptors, they potentially support the body's ability to manage energy storage and utilization. The formula also contains 209 mg of caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant that blocks adenosine receptors. This action reduces fatigue perception and increases epinephrine levels, promoting lipolysis (breakdown of fats) and enhancing physical performance output.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a healthy metabolic rate for efficient calorie burning.
- Enhances physical energy levels and reduces feelings of fatigue.
- Aids in achieving a toned physique through metabolic support.
- Promotes mental alertness and focus during daily activities.
Usage & Safety
The standard dosage is 2 capsules daily. Due to the high caffeine content (209 mg per serving), it is best taken with a meal to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort and early in the day to avoid interference with sleep patterns. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult a physician if you are taking medication, pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition. Discontinue use at least two weeks prior to scheduled surgery.
