250mg caffeine + 400mg green tea per 3-cap thermogenic dose
Applied Nutrition Shred X 90 Caps is a 90-capsule thermogenic stack built for cut-phase trainees who want a stimulant-led fat burner in capsule format with focus and absorption-support actives layered in. Each 3-capsule serving delivers 250mg of caffeine, 400mg of green tea extract, 200mg of L-theanine and 5mg of BioPerine black pepper extract. The bottle provides 30 servings.
Caffeine at 250mg drives central nervous system stimulation, perceived energy and supports thermogenesis during training. Green tea extract at 400mg provides EGCG catechins with research-backed thermogenic effects via enhanced fat oxidation. L-theanine at 200mg is the green tea amino acid that pairs with caffeine for a smoother stimulant response - it reduces the jitteriness some trainees report with caffeine alone while enhancing focus. BioPerine at 5mg is the patented black pepper extract that supports absorption of the other actives.
What separates Shred X capsules from a caffeine-only fat burner is the focus and tolerability layer. The 250mg caffeine drives thermogenesis; the L-theanine pairs it for smoother stimulation; the green tea extract adds a second thermogenic pathway via EGCG rather than relying on caffeine alone. The trade-off versus a powder pre-workout fat burner is dose flexibility - capsules deliver a fixed 250mg caffeine per serving.
Shred X 90 Caps suit trainees in defined cut phases who want a capsule-format thermogenic, lifters running pre-cardio stimulant stacks, athletes managing caffeine sensitivity who benefit from the L-theanine pairing, and anyone who prefers capsule format over flavoured pre-workout powders. Not for caffeine-sensitive users, late-evening trainers, pregnant women, or those on medication that contraindicates stimulant supplements.
Stack alternative: XL Nutrition The Purge Ripped 90 Caps (300mg caffeine + 500mg L-carnitine + 500mg green tea) delivers a peer-tier thermogenic capsule at the value-tier price point.
