5% Nutrition | 5% Shred Time | 30 Capsules

High-stim thermogenesis with disclosed doses and real appetite support

5% Nutrition Shred Time is a high-stim fat burner in capsule form. It ramps up your daily calorie burn, makes dieting feel better, and keeps your head in the game when food is low. This isn't just caffeine dressed up with hype. It has a real thermogenic base, ingredients to curb appetite, and some brain-boosting extras that make it more than a basic energy pill.

The star is 1,000mg N-Acetyl L-Carnitine Hydrochloride—ALCAR for short. It helps shuttle fatty acids into your cells to burn as fuel, and this version also supports mental energy. At 1 gram, that's a real dose, especially in a fat-loss product.

Green tea extract at 500mg, standardized to EGCG, gives you about 250mg of the good stuff. That's a solid amount for boosting metabolism and fat burning, like you see in studies. It works well with caffeine by affecting how your body handles energy. Then there's 250mg green coffee bean extract with chlorogenic acids, which help with carbs and body comp. Neither is a miracle, but together they build a stronger thermogenic effect than caffeine alone.

The stim side is strong—you'll feel it. 295mg caffeine anhydrous hits fast, plus 10mg from Infinergy® dicaffeine malate and about 7.3mg from 10mg guarana extract, totaling around 302.3mg caffeine. That's a lot for capsules. Cocoa alkaloids extract and 50mg theobromine make the energy smoother and longer-lasting.

5% Shred Time by 5% Nutrition contains 40mg NE Niacin, a standard dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

• 1,000mg N-Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl makes this more than your average fat burner. It helps move fatty acids to where they get burned and gives you that mental edge during a calorie cut.
• 500mg green tea extract with EGCG is a hefty thermogenic hit—not just a token amount. You get about 250mg EGCG, which is right in the sweet spot for fat-burning formulas, and it teams up great with caffeine for better metabolism.
• 250mg green coffee bean extract with chlorogenic acids brings another way to support fat loss. These acids help with body comp and carb control, making this broader than just stim-based burners.
• 302.3mg total caffeine delivers a real high-stim punch. It mixes 295mg fast-acting caffeine anhydrous with smaller amounts from Infinergy® and guarana for energy that doesn't feel all over the place.
• 50mg theobromine plus 50mg cocoa alkaloids smooth out the stims. Theobromine feels longer and milder than caffeine, so your energy stays steady while keeping you alert and intense in the gym.
• 50mg CaloriBurn® grains of paradise is a cool thermogenic pick. This seed extract boosts calorie burn and body heat, making it feel like a legit shred product, not just caffeine in a pill.
• 80mg cayenne pepper extract amps up the heat. Capsaicin from cayenne increases warmth and revs your metabolism, which is awesome if you want that noticeable fired-up feeling.
• 88.5mg saffron tackles the tough parts of cutting—hunger and mood. It's one of the better non-stim options to help you stick with your diet longer, instead of just wired for a bit.

Who Is This For?

• Physique competitors cutting who need more than caffeine. 302.3mg total caffeine, 500mg EGCG green tea, and 50mg CaloriBurn® boost heat and workout intensity, while saffron makes dieting easier to handle.
• Lifters doing morning fasted cardio before the day starts, wanting easy capsules over powders. Shred Time gives quick stim wake-up from caffeine anhydrous, smoothed by theobromine and dicaffeine malate—great for early grind sessions.
• Busy folks losing fat who fight hunger and motivation more than workout know-how. Saffron, caffeine, green tea, and ALCAR combo makes low-cal days feel doable, not just buzzed.
• Intermediate gym rats who handle 300mg caffeine fine and want an advanced capsule burner. This isn't beginner stuff; it's for those who want real effects and like seeing exact doses even in blends.
• People who get brain fog on cuts and need focus with the burn. 1,000mg ALCAR and 50mg NeuroFactor® add nootropic vibes over basic stim burners, keeping you alert and on point while dieting.
• Users who dig a hot, active burner feel over clean energy alone. Cayenne, grains of paradise, GBB, caffeine, and theobromine bring that sweaty, urgent thermogenic vibe.

How to Use

Take 6 capsules 20-30 minutes before training, cardio, or your toughest hunger spot. If high-stim burners are new, start with 3 to check tolerance—it's got 302.3mg total caffeine plus theobromine and rauwolfia. Wash 'em down with 12-16 oz water; staying hydrated helps with any extra sweat from the thermogenics. Empty stomach hits fastest, but a light meal tones it down if you're sensitive. Skip mixing with pre's, energy drinks, or big coffees unless you're tracking stims. It pairs great with creatine, protein, and electrolytes since this focuses on heat and hunger, not muscle or hydration. Run it daily during a cut, but watch tolerance—lower stim days or a break after 6-8 weeks keeps it effective. Store cool and dry, lid tight for fresh caps.

What to Expect

In the first 10-15 minutes, you might just feel a little more alert if taken on an empty or light stomach. By 15-30 minutes, caffeine really kicks in, with body heat rising from cayenne, grains of paradise, and the thermogenics. Peak hits at 30-60 minutes—that's when energy, drive, and hunger control feel strongest, perfect for cardio, lifts, or focus work on a cut. From 60-120 minutes, it settles into steady energy, thanks to theobromine and dicaffeine malate avoiding a sharp drop. Week one, you notice the stims and less hunger most. By weeks 2-4, it's about staying on track—fewer cravings, consistent cardio, and sticking to your deficit for real fat loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in 5% Nutrition Shred Time?

At the full 6-capsule serving, Shred Time provides about 302.3mg total caffeine. That comes from 295mg caffeine anhydrous, roughly 5mg from 10mg Infinergy® dicaffeine malate, and about 2.3mg from 10mg guarana extract, giving it a clearly high-stim profile.

Is Shred Time just caffeine, or does it have real thermogenic ingredients too?

It is more than a caffeine capsule. The formula includes 500mg green tea extract standardized to EGCG, 250mg green coffee bean extract standardized to chlorogenic acids, 80mg cayenne pepper extract, 50mg CaloriBurn®, 1,000mg ALCAR, and 50mg theobromine for a broader thermogenic and dieting-support profile.

What does the 1,000mg ALCAR do in this formula?

N-Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl supports fatty-acid transport into mitochondria, where fats can be oxidized for energy. It is also one of the more cognitively relevant carnitine forms, so many users notice better mental drive and less low-calorie brain fog while cutting.

Does Shred Time help with appetite?

Yes, appetite management is a clear part of the formula design. The most meaningful ingredient here is 88.5mg saffron, which has better support than most old-school appetite ingredients for helping with cravings and diet adherence, while hoodia is included as a secondary appetite-positioned addition.

Why does the label use proprietary blend names if the doses are listed?

The blend headings are proprietary, but the individual ingredient amounts inside them are still disclosed. That is much better than a true hidden proprietary blend because you can still evaluate nearly every active against common research ranges.

When should I take Shred Time?

Take it 20-30 minutes before training, cardio, or the most hunger-prone part of your day. Earlier is usually better because the stimulant load is strong enough to affect sleep if used too late.

Should beginners take the full 6-capsule serving?

Usually no. Because the formula contains over 300mg total caffeine plus theobromine and rauwolfia, first-time users should start with 3 capsules to assess tolerance before moving to the full serving.

Can I stack Shred Time with pre-workout?

Only with caution. Shred Time already supplies a high stimulant load, so stacking it with a traditional caffeinated pre-workout can push total caffeine and stimulant intensity higher than many users tolerate well.

Will I feel heat or sweating from this formula?

Many users do. Cayenne pepper extract, CaloriBurn® grains of paradise, GBB, caffeine, and the broader thermogenic profile are specifically the kinds of ingredients associated with increased warmth, sweating, and a more noticeable 'fat burner' feel.

Is Shred Time a good option for evening training?

For most people, no. With about 302.3mg total caffeine plus theobromine, it is better suited to morning or early afternoon use if you want to protect sleep quality.
