OxyShred Review: Can You Burn Fat at Rest?

OxyShred Review: Can You Burn Fat at Rest?

Read our Editorial Guidelines to learn more about what makes our site the premier resource for online health information.

OxyShred is a weight loss supplement sold by a brand called EHPlabs. The brand describes the supplement as a “thermogenic fat burner” and claims that it’s scientifically proven to work.

But is OxyShred actually studied in clinical trials and proven to be effective, or are these just marketing claims? Does the supplement contain research-backed ingredients for weight loss? Does it contain any questionable additive ingredients? And how do real users rate and describe the effects of OxyShred?

In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more as we analyze the clinical study on OxyShred to see if the supplement is actually proven to work.

We’ll also analyze the ingredients in OxyShred based on medical studies to give our take on whether the supplement is likely to be effective, or if it’s a waste of money.

Finally, we’ll provide a cost comparison featuring which retailer sells OxyShred for the best price, and feature real, unsponsored OxyShred user reviews.

Is OxyShred Proven to Work?

EHPlabs claims that OxyShred is scientifically studied, and to the credit of the brand, the supplement was studied in a clinical trial published in a peer-reviewed medical journal called the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

Clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals are the gold standard of product research.

This trial evaluated whether OxyShred could increase energy expenditure at rest.

OxyShred was found to increase resting energy expenditure, which means the supplement does increase fat burning at rest, but the effect was relatively modest.

Resting energy expenditure was increased in the OxyShred group from 121 calories to 166 calories per day.

According to the Mayo Clinic, one pound of weight equates to 3,500 calories. This means that OxyShred should cause 1 pound of weight loss after 78 days of use.

This still equates to around 5 potential pounds of weight loss per year.

Based on the clinical trial, we consider OxyShred likely to be effective for weight loss.

But what ingredients are included in this supplement, and are any of them potentially unhealthy?

Ingredient Analysis

https://illuminatelabs.org/blogs/health/oxyshred-review

OxyShred contains a large number of active ingredients, but we want to focus our analysis on the Fat Burning Matrix, shown above, which contains the ingredients used to create the weight loss effect.

Garcinia cambogia fruit extract was shown in a medical review published in the Journal of Obesity to cause weight loss, but the doses used in most of the trials were over 1,000 milligrams (mg) per day, while the average ingredient dose in OxyShred’s prop blend is only 182 mg.

Conjugated linoleic acid is clinically shown to cause weight loss, but as we documented in our review of another weight loss supplement containing this ingredient called Night Shred, it’s also clinically shown to cause insulin resistance and oxidative stress at the dose required to cause weight loss.

Chromium is a mineral shown to cause an average of around 1 pound of weight loss in a medical review, but it may be unsafe to take minerals for extended periods of time without a deficiency in that mineral.

Coffee bean extract was shown in a meta-study published in the Phytomedicine journal to cause slightly over 1 pound of weight loss over eight weeks.

OxyShred clearly contains a number of research-backed ingredients for weight loss, but it also contains a few ingredients we consider to be questionable from a health perspective.

The flavor ingredients for the Guava Paradise flavor of OxyShred are shown below:

OxyShred flavor ingredients

All of the flavors of this supplement contain similar ingredients.

Natural flavor is a broad categorical term that fails to describe the specific flavoring ingredients used. A 2013 medical review suggested that some flavoring ingredients and their metabolites may have toxic effects.

Citric acid is a preservative and flavor enhancer shown in a medical review published in the Toxicology Reports journal to cause whole-body inflammation in some individuals.

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener shown in a clinical trial to cause negative changes to insulin function, as we referenced in our Feel Great System reviews article on another weight loss brand that uses this ingredient.

We do not recommend OxyShred due to the inclusion of these additive ingredients, but how do real users rate and describe the effects of the supplement? We’ll review in the next section.

Real Customers Review OxyShred

Amazon is a better resource for honest customer reviews than a brand’s website in our opinion.

OxyShred has been reviewed over 2,000 times on Amazon with an average review rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars.

The top positive review from a verified purchaser comes from a user named “Chris” who claims that the product caused substantial weight loss:

“Stacking this product for a couple of months along with work and dieting, I managed to lose a good 15-20 lbs.”

The top negative review from a verified purchaser is written by a user named “OG Queen 0512” who claims the supplement tastes bad:

“​​It tastes terrible. I usually drink my pre work out with water, but it was cutting it. Then I tried it with juice and that was even worse. It was just bitter and left a bad aftertaste, but it does get the job done.”

Our Clean Weight Loss Picks

There are food-based nutrients which have been shown in medical studies to be effective for weight loss.

Dietary fiber was shown in a medical review published in The Journal of Nutrition to cause 16 pounds of weight loss in 6 months when combined with moderate caloric restriction (750 calories per day below baseline).

Supergut Fiber Mix is our top fiber supplement, because it contains three different types of fiber powder, and retails for only $1.75 per serving at a subscription rate.

MCT oil was shown in a meta-study to cause more than one pound of weight loss over 10 weeks. This equates to potential annualized weight loss of 6 pounds per year with less than one tablespoon's worth of MCT oil per day.

Bulletproof MCT Oil is our top MCT oil product, because the only ingredient is MCT oil derived from coconuts. and it currently costs only $15.50 for over a month's worth of product.

Ginger intake "significantly decreased body weight" according to a 2019 meta-study on ginger and weight loss that analyzed data from 14 clinical trials.

Pique La Ginger is our top ginger product, because it's an organic tea in convenient crystallized form, and all that's needed is to pour the powder into a glass and add hot water.

All three of the products mentioned in this section are entirely free of additive ingredients that we consider to be unhealthy or unsafe.

Conclusion

OxyShred is a weight loss supplement that’s significantly better-formulated than the category average in our opinion.

This supplement is clinically shown to cause weight loss, and is one of very few weight loss supplements we’ve reviewed on Illuminate Health that’s been tested in a legitimate peer-reviewed medical journal.

Not only is OxyShred clinically shown to be effective, but it also contains a number of research-backed active ingredients.

We don’t currently recommend this supplement due to the inclusion of several inactive ingredients like citric acid and sucralose shown to have questionable health effects.

Most online customer reviews we came across while researching this article were positive.

At the time of publishing this article, Walmart has the best price on OxyShred.
