Ripped Juice EX2 is Betancourt's follow up product to their original Ripped Juice fat burner. I personally haven't used the original before so I can only tell you what I experienced with EX2.


First off let's quickly review what this product claims are:

The ingredients in the new RIPPED JUICE™ EX2 formula were carefully chosen on the basis of scientific studies documenting their potential to:

• Rapidly stimulate the break down of body fat (lipolysis) and convert it into usable energy (oxidation)†
• Sustain mental energy, performance and mood†
• Suppress binge eating behaviors†
• Rapidly increase calorie-burning (metabolic) rate†
• Modulate body composition (e.g. reduce body fat %, increase lean mass %)† 

Since I only tried a sample of this product I really cannot say what it's long term effects on fat-loss are. The product suggests taking 1 Capsule 30 minutes before breakfast or your workout. If you have a stronger tolerance for stimulants you can add a second capsule. 


I personally took 1 Capsule 30 minutes before breakfast & a second capsule mid afternoon between meals. 


The first dose in the morning was most noticeable. About 20 minutes after taking it I was wired! I could totally feel the product kicking in. Energy levels rocketed and I started getting abit jittery. I actually felt a tiny bit cracked out haha. The only other product where I will say I got this sort of feeling was when I tried a sample of BPI's 1MR pre-workout. That however was much more intense than this.The intense feeling cooled down however after about 20 minutes and turned into a strong mental awareness and focus. Energy levels also stayed strong for several hours after.


About 5 hours after the first dose I started to get quite tired and had a small "Stim crash". This is roughly when I took the second capsule. However this time even after 30 minutes I hardly felt anything. There was no real energy boost or mood/focus elevation. It wasn't a really bad crash however like some products can cause. I was however disappointed that the second dose didn't do very much...


So while the initial dose was very potent I'm wondering if this product will burn you out very quickly. It certainly seems very powerful but perhaps sticking to one dose a day would be best. However the afternoon crash is certainly something I don't enjoy, especially if I have a workout coming up. In this case perhaps you'd be best to take your one dose in place of a pre-workout. 


So after considering the pros and cons I'll give this a product an 8.5/10  I believe if you fit your dosages properly into your schedule this product will give you a strong boost and give you plenty of energy for your workouts or to kick start your day. Also I'm sure that it elevated my metabolism quite abit cause I totally could feel my body just firing on all cylinders with that first dose!

PharmaFreak Ripped Freak Review

First off a big thanks go to PharmaFreak and it's reps for the opportunity to try a full bottle of this!


So here's my final review.


Dosage: One bottle has 60 Capsules. HOW DO YOU USE RIPPED FREAK?

Take 1 capsule of RIPPED FREAK with an 8-ounce glass of water on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning before breakfast.

OPTIONAL SECOND SERVING:
Take your second serving (1 capsule) early afternoon, on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before you eat a meal. On workout days, take 1 capsule 30-60 minutes before your workout. Never take more than 2 capsules daily. Drink at least ten 8-ounce glasses of water daily. For maximum results, combine RIPPED FREAK with a healthy diet and a hardcore training program.

I personally took 1 Capsule every morning about 30 minutes before breakfast. On OFF training days I took a second capsule mid afternoon on an empty stomach.

Effects: HOW DOES RIPPED FREAK WORK?

RIPPED FREAK's formula promotes fat burning by optimizing levels of the body's 2 most powerful fat burning hormones, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).* Not only does RIPPED FREAK support optimal levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine release, but it may also help prevent the breakdown of, epinephrine and norepinephrine.*

The RIPPED FREAK formula also uses methyl gallate ester. Methyl gallate ester supports the lipophilicity and absorption of ingredients into biological membranes, to promote bio-availability and extend the half-life of RIPPED FREAK's fat burning compounds in the body.*


So after taking this consistently now for about a month I feel I can give a very good assessment of it's effectiveness. For the most part the morning dosage would certainly help me wake up and get me going. Rarely did I feel over-energized or crash later in the day. Occasionally if I didn't drink enough water with it I'd get some raspberry ketone burps. If you drink 2 glasses of water though this shouldn't be an issue. Also I didn't get any stomach discomfort from taking this.

Now in regards to fat loss I was quite disappointed. I really cannot say that I noticed anything in additional fat loss. Yes it provided some energy and may have revved my metabolism up abit but I certainly cannot say it helped me get rid of any additional pounds. I even restricted calories more towards the end of taking this product but still didn't notice much...

The key with these products is that your diet & training have to be in check before even bothering with a fat burner. I felt that both were in line so this product had ample time to prove itself.

So I'm going to give this product a final rating of 6.5/10
