Metabolic Effects of a Thermogenic Ready-to-drink Beverage
Condition: Metabolic Rate; Metabolism
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial examining the
      metabolic effects of a novel ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage. Healthy adult males and females
      will be recruited for participation. Each participant will complete two conditions in random
      order: 1) RTD thermogenic beverage ; and 2) placebo (consisting of the flavoring of the
      thermogenic beverage without the active ingredients). In each condition, metabolism (resting
      metabolic rate), hemodynamic (heart rate and blood pressure), and subjective (ratings of
      energy, focus, concentration, alertness, and mood) assessments will be completed at baseline,
      30 minutes after beverage consumption, and 30 minutes after the second round of assessments.
    

Detailed description: 
      The primary purpose of this study is to report the metabolic effects of a new ready-to-drink
      (RTD) version of EHP Labs OxyShred Thermogenic Fat Burner. Additionally, the effect of this
      product on hemodynamic variables and subjective ratings of energy, focus, concentration,
      alertness, and mood will be reported.

      OxyShred Thermogenic Fat Burner (EHP Labs) is a popular dietary supplement for those seeking
      to increase energy and reduce body fat. While this product is commercially available as a
      powdered dietary supplement, a new RTD formulation is currently being developed. While the
      RTD formula will be similar to the current version of the product, research specifically
      conducted with the RTD version is needed to definitively support product claims and
      demonstrate the potential effects of this novel product. Additionally, there is a need to
      better understand the effects of caffeine-containing, thermogenic products among the variety
      of groups who may consume these products (e.g., males vs. females, inactive vs. active,
      etc.).
