Scientific Evidence

Although Man Sports give plenty of scientific references on its website, there is no credible human scientific evidence that supports its claims. Some of the ingredients have been supported by numerous animal studies, but studies on humans have not yet reproduced these results. Furthermore, the combination of caffeine and synephrine has been known to cause serious side effects in some people.

Consumer Feedback

“I wrote a review on Scorch a few months ago. In it I wrote that the only thing getting scorched was our billfolds. I've tried this product; most of it still sits in my supplement cupboard, the one filled with supplements that don't work. Enough said. Save your cash.”

Using this product, I've lost about 7 pounds in 4 weeks, which is something I cannot say about other products. No adverse side effects as well. This is a great product, even if you are *not* a body builder.
