Analysis

The 100 mg caffeine amount can provide a moderate lift in alertness and exercise drive, while 400 mg green tea extract and 125 mcg chromium add metabolic support. Black pepper, ginger, and bitter orange broaden the thermogenic design.

Important active amounts are missing, including EGCG, synephrine, gingerols, and EPA plus DHA from the fish oil. A proprietary fat-metabolizer blend and malformed label entries further reduce confidence in dose quality and transparency.

The product best fits stimulant-tolerant adults seeking a daytime metabolism formula rather than focused fish oil, green tea, or cognitive support. Caffeine combined with bitter-orange synephrine may increase jitteriness, heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep disruption.

Who is it for
  • Stimulant-tolerant adults seeking metabolic support
  • People wanting a daytime thermogenic formula
  • Users able to avoid additional stimulant sources
Best for
  • Short-term alertness
  • Stimulant-based metabolism support
  • Daytime weight-management routines

Pros

  • Clearly states 100 mg caffeine
  • Includes a substantial total green tea extract amount
  • Covers several metabolic pathways

Cons

  • EGCG and synephrine amounts are missing
  • Fish oil lacks EPA and DHA disclosure
  • Proprietary blend and malformed entries weaken transparency

Warnings

  • Caffeine plus bitter-orange synephrine may raise heart rate or blood pressure and is a poor fit for cardiovascular concerns
  • Combining it with coffee, energy drinks, or pre-workouts may cause excessive stimulation
  • Late-day use may worsen sleep, anxiety, or next-day fatigue

Nutrient quality

60 Moderate impact

Several ingredients use potentially useful forms, but key active markers and source details are missing. Caffeine is meaningfully dosed, while green tea, bitter orange, and fish oil cannot be judged at the active-compound level.

.

Ingredient transparency

36 Lower impact

Caffeine, green tea extract, fish oil, chromium, and blend totals are shown, but several decisive active compounds lack amounts. The supplied data also contains blank names, invalid units, and no complete inactive ingredient list.

.

Customer satisfaction

66 High impact

The aggregate satisfaction measure and review volume provide a useful first impression. Missing firsthand feedback leaves repeat complaints and real-world purpose fit uncertain.

.

Value for money

48 Lower impact

The moderate serving cost is difficult to justify without quantified green-tea, bitter-orange, and fish-oil actives. Each serving offers limited quality-adjusted value despite a useful caffeine amount.

Green tea, caffeine, chromium, and bitter orange cover thermogenesis and glucose control, giving the formula a strong metabolism-focused design. The 100 mg caffeine amount is moderate, but EGCG and synephrine amounts are not disclosed.

Missing active-marker doses prevent a confident judgment of potency or stimulant load. Combining caffeine with synephrine-bearing bitter orange may raise heart rate or blood pressure, especially in stimulant-sensitive users or when taken with other stimulants.

Green tea and caffeine can support acute alertness and antioxidant defense. The product is built for fat metabolism, and the undisclosed fish-oil actives and stimulant blend weaken its cognitive fit.

Green tea and fish oil offer antioxidant and metabolic support, but the product is built for fat burning. It provides 400 mg of green tea extract, fish oil, 100 mg of caffeine, and a stimulant fat-metabolizer blend for the stated purpose.

Fish-oil actives are not disclosed and the caffeine-synephrine design conflicts with restorative aging support. Combining 100 mg of caffeine with bitter-orange synephrine may raise heart rate and blood pressure.

Report overview
Caffeine · 0 NP OverallScore57
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyC Value

The caffeine amount is directly stated and sits in the moderate target range. Its exact source and form are not identified, which limits confidence in source quality and release behavior. Bitter orange supplies synephrine without a clear amount, creating added stimulant uncertainty for sensitive users.

Green Tea · 400 mg OverallScore28
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The green tea extract is not standardized to a specific EGCG amount. Black pepper extract may support absorption, and the formula clearly states its caffeine amount. Without quantified EGCG, dose adequacy and active-value efficiency cannot be verified.

Chromium · 125 mcg OverallScore19
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

The chemical form of chromium is not disclosed. The chromium amount is in the low supplemental range. The broader botanical formula does not provide a qualifying high-dose companion active for a value adjustment. The normalized chromium cost is very high.
