SUMMARY - OXYSHRED AND FAT BURNING
In essence, you have 2 specific types of fat stores - subcutaneous fat, meaning it sits just below your skin; and visceral fat, which sits around your organs to protect them.
Within these fat stores, you have two different types of adipose (fat) tissue; brown and white fat - long story short, brown fat keeps you warm when you’re cold and white fat is the result of excess calories that are stored to be used as energy at a later time.
OxyShred targets your subcutaneous fat stores, leaving your visceral fat stores untouched as these are crucial for safety and health. By targeting your subcutaneous fat stores, OxyShred targets your white fat cells resulting in an increase in thermogenesis and lipolysis.
It does this by working with your mitochondria (core of muscle fibre cells) to help metabolize fat in your body, converting fat cells into energy.
The combination of ingredients also helps to slow down calorie absorption, lower insulin levels and kick start your metabolism for the day. Decreasing insulin levels allows your body to reduce fat storage and calorie absorption, and to curb those evil sugar cravings.
Finally, the stress hormone (and enemy of weight loss) Cortisol is kept under control by the natural boost in energy and immunity boosting ingredients, helping you to stay focused throughout the day.
WHAT SEPARATES OXYSHRED FROM THE OTHERS?
- Optimal dosage of ingredients that work in synergy (instead of huge doses of a single ingredient)
- Uses active sections of ingredient extracts
- Chromium for blood sugar balance
- Not over-caffeinated
- The purpose of a thermogenic is separate to a pre-workout...you don’t want to be sitting there so full of energy, sweating and getting jittery
IS EHPLABS OXYSHRED VEGAN?
While not certified vegan, OxyShred contains no animal-based ingredients. According to vegan certification regulations, none of the EHPlabs products are vegan as they are manufactured in a facility that also processes our whey protein.
IsoPept Zero, OxyWhey, Skin Tight and Skin Firming contain animal-based ingredients and are not vegan.
WILL I DEVELOP A TOLERANCE TOWARDS OXYSHRED?
OxyShred contains caffeine, and for products containing caffeine you should take a 1 week break after consuming the product for a consecutive 4 week period. With OxyShred, we recommend taking a 1 week break each time you finish a tub.
DO I NEED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM USING EHPLABS SUPPLEMENTS?
All EHPlabs products are researched, formulated and carefully manufactured to ensure that they deliver results.
Although there is no rule about when you should start and stop taking supplements, you need to listen to your body. If you feel like you need to take a break, then you should take a rest from using any nutritional supplement products for 3 consecutive days and drink plenty of water to flush out your system.
With OxyShred, we recommend taking a break each time you finish a tub.
WHAT EHPLABS PRODUCTS CAN I MIX TOGETHER WITH OXYSHRED FOR CARDIO?
As suggested in the Directions, Acetyl L-Carnitine is best taken with OxyShred to maximize the breakdown of fat cells.
If you're doing fasted (empty stomach) cardio, the ideal energy and metabolism booster and recovery cocktail is to mix 1 scoop of Beyond BCAA with 1 scoop of OxyShred and 2 scoops of Acetyl L-Carnitine with 20 oz (600ml) of chilled water.
It's fun experimenting with the delicious fruity flavor combinations.
WHAT IS THE BEST FLAVOR FOR OXYSHRED?
If you don't have a sweet tooth, pink grapefruit flavor is fantastic as it has a subtle fresh citrus flavor. Wild Melon and Kiwi Strawberry are well balanced and on the sweeter fruitier side, and Guava is a smooth natural tropical flavor.
Our newest flavors are Passionfruit and Mango, both of which have been very popular. All the OxyShred flavors are delicious, but it really depends on your taste preference.
CAN I USE OXYSHRED AS PRE-WORKOUT?
Yes! OxyShred will give you a natural boost of energy and put you in a positive and focused mindframe to conquer your workout. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pre-workout consumer, you’ll love the natural positive effects of OxyShred during your workout.
CAN I STACK OXYSHRED WITH OTHER PRODUCTS?
Oxyshred can be stacked with Acetyl L-Carnitine to increase its already potent ultra thermogenic ability. OxyShred can also be stacked with our non-stimulant based pre-workout PSI.
PSI contains optimally dosed ingredients that have been extensively studied and proven to synergistically promote vasodilation, enhance nutrient and oxygen delivery to working muscle, and increase cell hydration for incredible pumps while also helping to improve mental focus.
Combining OxyShred and PSI pre-workout will give you the energy and focus you need to push through your workout while maximizing fat loss.
SWEETENERS IN OXYSHRED
OxyShred uses the sweetener Sucralose, as it's been FDA-approved for 20 years, and shown to be safe and stable. Sucralose has been extensively studied and more than 110 safety studies were reviewed by FDA in approving the use of sucralose as a general purpose sweetener for food.
NEUROCOGNITIVE FUNCTIONS
The combination of L-Tyrosine, Taurine have been shown in EHPlabs studies to provide a mood enhancing effect due to their role with dopamine and antagonist effects on serotonin.
By also including Caffeine and L-Theanine, this helps to provide optimal central nervous system and adrenal gland stimulation to trigger a positive homeostatic energy release, which can also help improve cognitive ability.
WHY ARE THERE NO JITTERS?
Unlike some other thermogenics on the market, you shouldn’t get jitters from OxyShred if used as directed as it’s not over-caffeinated.
The R&D team at EHPlabs has focused on the optimal synergistic dose of ingredients within OxyShred to provide the best effect, so that they interact and complement each other, instead of pumping it full of stimulants - there is no need to add huge amounts of caffeine and other stimulants to make you itchy - this is the purpose of a pre-workout like RP Max.
The caffeine level in OxyShred is slightly higher than a strong cup of coffee.
FIGHTING THE CRAVINGS - MORE ON THIS AND WHY?
OxyShred helps to reduce cravings by a couple of different methods;
1) it helps to suppress your appetite and enhance your mood, which is a large contributor to cravings.
2) it helps to promote blood sugar balance by the addition of chromium which has an effect on regulation of insulin and blood glucose control. Chromium is lacking in most people’s diets, and chromium levels decrease with age - Chromium picolinate is the most efficacious form of chromium supplementation
3) It boosts your metabolism so that you have clean, long-lasting energy from your fat stores, which again helps to reduce cravings as you’re not low on energy
WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC ACTION FOR FAT MOBILIZATION FUNCTION?
The scientific action behind fat mobilization and fat utilization is two-fold;
1) you have to activate the fat from storage
2) you have to then take it from storage and transport into the mitochondria to be burned off as energy.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THERMOGENIC?
Thermogenic by definition just means to produce heat - however, in terms of a supplement this means increasing heat through an increased metabolic rate, which results in increased amount of fat burning.
By keeping your metabolism elevated for periods of time, this results in more production of heat, and therefore more burning of fat - this means you have more clean natural long-lasting energy from your body so that you have energy throughout the day, even while on a calorie-restricted diet.
WHAT IS OXYGREENS?
OxyGreens is the best tasting greens powder on the market with 3 amazing flavors!

IS IT A REPLACEMENT FOR WHOLE FOODS?
We suggest that you take OxyGreens in conjunction with a balanced, healthy diet.
WHY DID YOU MAKE IT?
A diet rich in ‘superfoods’ that includes green veggies and fruits is essential for maintaining overall health. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), merely 9% of American adults meet the recommended intake of greens and fruits. 93% of Australian adults don’t eat the recommended five serves of vegetables and 50% don’t eat two serves of fruit.
We created OxyGreens because we listened to our community. Our community places a lot of emphasis on macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) through their diet and food intake. Micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, electrolytes and other necessary organic compounds), however can get ignored as they are difficult to maintain through diet since they require large and frequent intake of diverse vegetables and fruits.
Our community demanded a wholefood source, natural super greens formula that boosted their health, wellness, energy levels and overall metabolic functioning. OxyGreens was created to provide a convenient and easy solution to getting all your daily micronutrient needs met. Many other greens formulas on the market taste grassy and unpleasant. OxyGreens was created to provide high quality nutrients with an incredible taste to boost vitality and wellness.
WHO SHOULD TAKE IT?
OxyGreens is a convenient supplement for everyone who wants to improve their health and wellbeing, but struggles with their fruit and vegetable intake. OxyGreens promotes immunity, optimal digestion and nutrient absorption from food, as well as reducing oxidative stress and assisting liver detoxification.
WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE IT VS OTHER GREENS / SUPER FOODS OUT THERE?
OxyGreens not only contains a green superfood complex but also antioxidants, prebiotic fiber and an array of other wellness ingredients in a convenient 1-scoop serving. The best part is all these benefits are delivered with an amazing taste.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN OXYGREENS?
GREEN SUPERFOOD COMPLEX
The leading ingredients of our OxyGreens are Barley Grass, Broccoli, Kale, and Spinach. These powerful greens are rich in magnesium and vitamins A, K, E and C, which act as antioxidants and help support a healthy immune system. Antioxidants help the body remove unwanted toxins that can build up as a result of natural processes and environmental stressors we may experience in daily life. Additional greens we have added into our greens complex include Celery, Spirulina, Chlorella and Kelp, which are rich in vitamins, minerals, iron and chlorophyll (the stuff that makes leaves green) to help maintain a healthy immune system, healthy digestive function, and support overall wellbeing.
ANTIOXIDANT ALKALISING BERRIES
Our alkalising forest berries include Blueberry, Acai, and Goji Berry. This complex is packed with antioxidants and vitamin C. These berries are well known for their immune-boosting qualities, anti-inflammatory properties, and skin boosting effects.
PREBIOTIC FIBER COMPLEX
We have carefully selected Chicory Root (Inulin), Green Kiwi Fruit, Green Banana, and Larch as our powerful prebiotic fiber complex for our OxyGreens. These superfoods help to nourish the good gut bacteria (microbiome) and promote an overall healthy digestive system. This will improve nutrient absorption in the gut lining, as well as promoting bowel regularity and reducing stomach bloating. You will feel lighter and more energetic.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THESE FLAVOURS?
Greens normally taste grassy and bitter. We wanted to give consumers more palatable flavours making taking your daily greens an enjoyable experience.
IS THERE CAFFEINE IN OXYGREENS?
There is no caffeine in OxyGreens.
HOW MUCH SHOUD YOU HAVE IN ONE DAY?
One scoop is all you need to get your daily intake of greens!
