How does Oxyshred work?
The role of Oxyshred is to target your subcutaneous fat stores. Oxyshred targets our bodies white fat cells which results in an increase in both lipolysis and thermogenesis. Oxyshred does this by helping to metabolise fat within your body and converting those fat cells into energy.
When taken first thing in the morning, Oxyshred is exceptional at giving you a nice boost of energy. The metabolism also gets a nice little lift so that you can power about your day at full capacity. Oxshred has a few other neat tricks up it’s sleeve too though. This includes helping to supress food cravings and reducing calorie absorption and fat storage.
We did also mention earlier that long term success should include managing your levels of stress. Oxyshred will be your ‘best friend’ in this instance with it’s immunity boosting ingredients. These will aid in enhancing your overall well-being and delivers a natural and smooth boost of energy whilst still keeping cortisol under control.
Promoting Fat loss and Maintaining a Lean Physique
The comprehensive formula in Oxyshred will help with fat loss by increasing the ability of the body to burn calories. This enhancing the body’s ability to use stored fat as fuel in conjunction with suppressing cravings and reducing the appetite.
A number of ingredients have been added to help stimulate the body’s fat receptor cells. This will also help boost metabolism in order to promote an increased level of fat cell break-down.
Increasing and Improving Energy
Something that is unique to Oxyshred is that it contains a full spectrum of B-vitamins which have been included to support energy levels. The role of B vitamins to to ensure that the cells of the body are functioning optimally. They assist a variety of enzymes do their jobs which vary from from releasing energy from carbohydrates and fat (macronutrients) to be used as fuel, to other processes such as breaking down amino acids and transporting oxygen and other energy-containing nutrients around the body.
Increased Immunity
Both L-Glutamine and Vitamin C have been added to increase immunity. Supporting the body’s immune defence system is great for inhibiting the body’s inflammatory responses.
Mood Enhancing and Neurocognitive Functions
Taurnine and Caffeine have been added for their mood enhancing properties. Taurine is an amino acid that acts as a precursor for neurotransmitters such as GABA . GABA is beneficial in decreasing feelings of anxiety and stress and is also neuroprotective properties.
L-Tyrosine has been added due to its potential benefits in improving memory, focus and even coordination and movement patterns when exercising.
Both of these ingredients can improve your performance and focus and provide you with a consistent and smooth dose of energy with no peak or sudden crash. Oxyshred is a product that not only assists with your performance in the gym but it’s effects also transfer into daily life.
Aiding in Balancing Blood Sugar Levels
Chromium Picolinate has been added due to the suggested benefits of balancing blood sugar levels and reducing insulin resistance. Blood sugar levels impact energy, concentration, ability to lose body fat, performance, and an imbalance can lead to inconsistent mood swings and increased cravings.
Higher insulin levels promote the storage of fat which is something that will only hinder your results. Insulin also slows down the breakdown of fat. Therefore to combat insulin resistance Oxyshred has included ingredients such as Chromium Picolinate, Green Coffee and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA).
Does Oxyshred contain Acetyl L Carnitine?
Acetyl L-carnitine makes up approximately one third of the powered weight of Oxyshred. So why you may ask have EHP Labs included Acetyl L-carnitine as such a hero ingredient?
Well studies have consistently shown benefits in burning fat among individuals who exercise. The more well known advantage of Acetyl L-carnitine is in the role of fat loss. However that’s not all Acetyl L-carnitine does.
Acetyl L-carnitine is also consistent in boosting both mood and memory. Having the acetyl group attached to the L-Carnitine allows it to pass into the brain more readily and easily. Acetyl L-carnitine has the ability to boost brain dopamine levels. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that aids in improving mood, drive and concentration.
On a systemic level it may also assist to reduce inflammation and in the reduction of blood pressure. More recent evidence is also beginning to show that Acetyl-L-Carnitine can aid in reducing muscle soreness after exercise and also improving blood flow to muscle tissue and in those who are older it can also aid in retaining and building lean muscle mass and energy levels.
So does Carnitine work?
Acetyl L-carnitine is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is very well known for it’s weight loss benefits and influence on brain function.
The role of Acetyl L-carnitine is in the transportation of free fatty acids into the mitochondria of cells where the process of oxidation occurs. Acetyl L-carnitine is required for this process in order for fat to be burnt off as energy. Mitochondria are the parts of a cell which turn fats, sugars and proteins from food into chemical energy which the body uses to for its energy needs.
Does Oxyshred Assist with Fat Burning?
Oxyshred contains a proprietary blend of ingredients that induce what is called hyper-lipolysis which is an extremely efficient, yet complex process of the burning of fat cells. By stimulating the body’s fat receptor cells in order to help increase the metabolism and increase the level of fat cells that are broken down.
Both Acetyl L-Carnitine and CLA have been included to reduce fat tissues and fat inhibition. Green Coffee Bean Extract has been added to assist in the reduction of body weight and BMI and Garcinia Cambogia for it’s benefits in the prevention of visceral and abdominal fat.

In terms of popularity, Power Supps best sellers and our personal favourites are Cosmic Blast, Kiwi Strawberry and Passion Fruit. However, Mango, Wild Melon, Guava Paradise, Raspberry Refresh and Pink Grapefruit all come a close second though.
If you do happen to find that any of the flavours are a touch too sweet – you can always adjust the taste by diluting with additional water to suit your acquired taste.
Why is Oxyshred so Different?
What makes EHP Labs Oxyshred so unique you may ask?
Well for one, Oxyshred is not in the extremes when it comes to stimulants. Oxyshred provides you with an optimal and effective dosage of active ingredients that all synergistically work with each other in order for you to reap the rewards throughout your day with no crash, whilst also enhancing fat burning and increasing metabolism.
Oxyshred also contains chromium. Chromium aids in levelling out blood sugar and counteracting those food cravings that can often become a downfall when it comes to dieting.
What Can You Stack with Oxyshred?
In terms of what to stack with Oxyshred, Acetyl L-Carnitine is undeniably the most ideal supplement to boost the already potent blend of ingredients in Oxyshred. Oxyshred has the aim of assisting in thermogenesis and enhancing weight loss and aiding in weight management so stacking with Acetyl L-Carnitine will only supercharge the formula even more.
For those who are not stimulant sensitive, combining Oxyshred and a pre-workout will give you the energy and focus you need to tackle tough training sessions whilst still enhancing fat loss.
Oxyshred combined with Beyond BCAA will give you an energy boost for greater performance during training and improved recovery.
Directions for use
Thanks to the incredible fruity flavours, Oxyshred is incredibly easy on the palate and will have your taste buds dancing.
As per directions mix one scoop into 300ml of chilled water in the morning or have a serve prior to exercise on your training days.
If you are trying Oxyshred for the first time it is best to commence with a half serve to assess your caffeine tolerance and then adjust to a full serve from there.
Generally as a rule of thumb it is best to remember to not take any stimulants such as Oxyshred after 6pm as it may hinder sleep quality.
Can You Take Oxyshred as a Pre-Workout?
Absolutely!
Oxyshred is ideal for use prior to your training session as it contains caffeine which is a well know stimulant used to increase energy and motivation.
As we have touched on earlier, Oxyshred contains Acetyl-L-Carnitine combined with Taurine to aid in decreasing muscle soreness that presents itself after exercising.
The Vitamin B Complex in EHP Labs Oxyshred also helps to keep you energised for exercise and assist in keeping your stress levels to a minimum.
How much caffeine is in OxyShred?
One measured scoop of original OxyShred contains 150mg of caffeine, which is approximately the amount of caffeine in a cup of brewed coffee.
What makes Oxyshred a hero product?
- Optimal dosage of proprietary ingredients that work in synergy rather than a high single dose ingredient
- Includes Chromium for blood sugar balance
- Uses active ingredient extracts
- OxyShred is a thermogenic fat burner which increases you body temperature to aid in burning calories faster.
- Oxyshred is not a high stimulant pre-workout and can be stacked with other products.
Is Oxyshred Vegan?
The product itself does contain an allergen warning indicating that is does ‘contain milk and soy’. While not certified vegan, OxyShred contains no animal-based ingredients.
The reason for the allergen warning is that CLA is an ingredient used in Oxyshred. During processing CLA is derived by utilising calcium caseinate. Calcium caseinate is a milk derived product, hence inclusion of the warning.
Should I take a break and if so how often?
OxyShred does contain caffeine and other stimulant ingredients so what we do suggest is to take regular breaks from products such as these to ensure that your body does not become tolerant to the ingredients.
A simple way to ensure you take adequate breaks is to take a 1-2 week break after finishing a tub then return back to it once again.
Does OxyShred build muscle?
If muscle building is on top of your list of priorities then Oxyshred can absolutely be included in your supplement regimen. Glutamine is included in the Oxyshred blend. Glutamine is a valuable amino acid which aids in the release of Human Growth Hormone and assists in lean muscle growth.
How long will it take to see results?
Assuming you have your nutrition and training down pat and have decreased your caloric intake, then for most individuals results will begin to appear from the 2-3 week mark.
From there, once you have achieved your desired physique it is then just a matter of remaining consistent to ensure that you maintain your ideal body composition.
