Description

Burn calories and increase concentration! Whether you are a student that needs more mental acuity and concentration, an athlete that is looking for an extra boost in body and mind or a dieting expert desperately seeking success, Ultimate Calorie Burn™ is your perfect choice.

The ingredients within Ultimate Calorie Burn™ stimulate the body to use more calories throughout the day while helping to enhance overall energy levels and mood. The result is a sustained calorie burn without the jitters that are almost always associated with high-dose caffeinated formulas.

Ingredients

FORMULA:

EACH 2 CAPSULES CONTAIN:

• Chocamine™ Plus (Theobroma cacao extract blend with 8% caffeine)... 1000 mg
  Chocamine™ Plus contains several important phytochemicals found in chocolate, such as thermogenic compounds, as well as mood and cognitive performance-enhancing compounds.
  
  Preliminary studies show that Chocamine™ Plus promotes healthy increases in energy levels, promotes positive mood and outlook and improves mental & physical performance.
• Capsimax™ (patented capsicum extract)... 100 mg
  Capsimax™ utilizes a breakthrough beadlet technology that delivers the metabolic boost of capsicum without the burn! The encapsulation technology of Capsimax™ delivers highly effective levels of active capsaicoids without any oral or gastric irritation associated with unprotected hot red pepper.
  
  Capsicum extract has been clinically documented to enhance fat burning through diet-induced thermogenesis, the process whereby excess calories are converted to heat rather than stored as fat. Capsicum also reduces appetite, ultimately making it easier to follow a proper diet.
• BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract (Piper nigrum) (fruit) (Standardization 95% Piperine)... 1 mg
  BioPerine® is a research-proven, standardized extract from black pepper that has been shown to both assist in the uptake and bioavailability of other nutrients. Bioperine® has been observed in studies to enhance the absorption of other nutrients by a whopping 60%.
  
  Encapsulated in a vegetarian capsule (carbohydrate gum, purified water, silica) with microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate with silica. This product does not contain any dairy or artificial colours.

Suggested Usage

F.A.Q.

Can you tell me the difference between Ultimate Lean Energy and the new Ultimate Calorie Burn?

Ultimate Lean Energy is a fat burner that contains a group of nutrients and co-nutrients that work together to stimulate the body to release greater amounts of fatty acids, helping dieters to avoid the "weigh-loss plateau".  Ultimate Calorie Burn is not a fat burner, instead it is designed to target both body and brain metabolism - stimulating the body to use more calories throughout the day and enhancing overall energy level and mood. 

Wait a second!  I read somewhere that Calorie Burn can "burn 12x the calories"  Please explain!

A breakthrough ingredient in our Ultimate Calorie Burn - Capsimax™ - was the subject of a study done at the University of Oklahoma and its effects on calorie burning in exercising individuals.  Researchers found that when subjects took Capsimax™ one hour prior to exercising on a treadmill, they burned 3x more calories before, 3% more calories during and 12x more calories for up to an hour after exercise compared to when they took a placebo.  This increase in metabolic rate resulted in an average cumulative total of 278 more calories burned.

Does this product contain caffeine?

Per recommended dose of 2 capsules of Ultimate Calorie Burn, there is only 80mgs worth of caffeine - almost half of what is found in a small cup of coffee.

Why do you use chocolate in this product?

Chocamine™ Plus contains phytochemicals that are found in chocolate, allowing for all the benefits of chocolate without the calories, fat or lactose.  Chocamine™ Plus promotes healthy increases in energy levels, helps maintain positive mood and outlook plus it can improve mental and physical performance.

I have noticed that many of Brad King's products contain an ingredient called "Bioperine Black Pepper Extract".  What exactly is this?

This black pepper is not the same as pure black pepper.  It is actually a standardized extract from the fruit of black pepper (containing 95% piperine).  It is used in the majority of the Ultimate products to increase the bioavailability of the nutrients within these formulas.  Bioperine is the only source from piperine to have undergone clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its complete safety and research-proven efficacy for nutritional use.  Many individuals have difficulty absorbing and utilizing nutrients within nutritional formulas.  The Ultimate products insure that people are not only getting the best formulas possible, but that they are actually absorbing and utilizing what they are paying for.

Are your capsules GMO free?

Yes, both our capsule shells and our softgel shells are GMO free.

Where do you source your products from?

All of our products are manufactured at a GMP facility certified by Health Canada.  All raw materials come in and are tested for purity, safety and potency.  If they do not meet our standards they are rejected and sent back or destroyed.  We use the highest quality ingredients available.  Many of our products contain proprietary patented ingredients that have been clinically researched.  We also use organic whenever we can.

Are your products gluten free?

All of our products are manufactured in a facility that is not dedicated to be gluten free.  Therefore we cannot guarantee that any of our products are gluten free since there is always a possibility of cross-contamination.

Are your products peanut free?

Following compliance with food regulations, in order to make a negative claim such as "peanut free", it would be necessary to insure a zero tolerance of any peanut traces, including the possibilty of cross contamination.  Although our manufacturing facility has a policy in place for allergen control, there is no specific policy for peanuts, nor is there a specific "no peanut agreement" with our raw material suppliers.

Can your products be used after the expiry date has passed?

Supplements generally keep their potency long after the expiry date.  There is certainly no safety issues with consuming after the expiry date has passed however the potency degrades over longer periods of time.

Do all of your products have NPN numbers?

Some of our products have received NPN numbers.  Others are in the application process or are waiting to be reviewed by Health Canada.

If a product does not specify "vegetarian capsule", then what is it made from?

These capsules are gelatin capsules sourced from either pork or beef.

Are any of your products "vegan-friendly"?

Yes, AdrenaSense, BioSil, EstroSense and MenoSense (from our Preferred Nutrition and WomenSense lines), our MacaPunch Products and the Ultimate Anti-Stress Vegan formula are all vegan friendly.  

Can I purchase products directly from you?  I went to a health food store and the prices seem very expensive.

We only sell to Health Food stores since they have a personal commitment to the natural health lifestyle.  Consumers are then able to buy our products from knowledgeable staff that are genuinely interested in helping people be well - people who care!  Always be sure to look for in store promotions or coupons when you are making your purchases as this can help alleviate your cost concerns.

Do all health food stores carry all of your products?

To find Health Food stores in your area that carry our products, please click on "Store Locator" at the top of this screen.  All you have to do is enter your postal code and you will be given a list of retailers in the radius that you choose. We do recommend calling ahead to see if they stock the item you are looking for and in most cases if a store does not normally carry something, they will offer to do a special order for you.

Are any of your products tested on animals?

No, there is no animal testing on any of our products.

Should your supplements be taken with or without food?

Most of our products will specify directly on the bottle whether they should be taken with a meal or not.  If nothing is stated, then the choice is yours as to when the best time is for you to take them.

I like the sound of many of your products.  Am I able to take different formulas at the same time?

Yes, it's safe to combine various WomenSense products to help support the body in achieving optimal health.  The same applies to the Balanced Planet products, Dr. Whitaker's formulas and to Brad King's.  If you are unsure of any combination, then please consult your Health Care Practitioner.

I have heard that drinking green tea along with my supplements will end up flushing out all the nutrients?  Is this true?

No, you are fine taking your supplements with green tea.  Coffee inhibits the absorption of nutritients, but the caffeine in green tea will not pose the same problem.

Can you tell me if I can combine any of your supplements with the medication(s) I am on, as prescribed by my doctor?

It is best to consult your Doctor or alternative Health Practitioner before taking any new supplements while on medication.

Can I take your products when I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

We are not able to make any recommendations with any of our products when it comes to pregnancy or while nursing.  You must contact your Health Practitioner, Naturopath or Pharmacist.

I understand that you put a recommended dosage on your labels, but I can take more or less than that, right?  And, really, do I have to take the product every day?

With regards to the recommended dosage, we would suggest you speak to your Doctor or Health Care Practitioner before increasing any amounts.  As with any supplement you can determine your amount based on your personal preference - if you find that a product works for you immediately then you should be fine to take it just on the days you feel you need it, but again we suggest you discuss this with you MD or HP.  Some consumers find that a product needs to be in their system for a few days to a few weeks before they notice results and/or feel the full benefits.

I don't understand why when I purchase your product and open the bottle, the contents don't even fill 1/2 of the packaging that is being used?

The containers we use are determined based on product fill and required label information, as well as capsule count when/where applicable.  Sometimes we do have to use a larger bottle than seems necessary because of the information required on the labels - requirements both from Health Canada and in order for the label to be clear and legible to our consumers.  Also, in a case where we are offering larger volume (ie/ 400g versus 200g or 180 capsules versus 90 capsules), then we have to put the contents in a bigger container in order for there to be differentiation on the shelf.

What is your 100% money-back guarantee?

Our 100% money back guarantee ensures that if a customer is not completely satisfied with their purchase, they can return it to their point of purchase and we will credit the Health Food store 100% of their purchase price from us.  We cannot dictate if a store will give cash back or an in-store credit ~ but we do promise to credit them, regardless of the reason for the return.
