212º Thermo Changes and Upgrades

Improved Taste

The taste was one of the big things we wanted to improve for the new formula. Arguably, the biggest challenge with powdered-based thermogenics is making them taste as good as an amino acid or pre-workout. Thermogenics usually contain ingredients with a strong aftertaste, especially on the spicy side of things.

To address this, we swapped out the grains of paradise for MitoBurn® L-B-Aminoisobutyric Acid (BAIBA) from NNB Nutrition. MitoBurn® is an equally effective alternative to grains of paradise that offers numerous benefits, specifically around supporting fat loss. For instance, BAIBA has been shown to initiate the “browning” of white adipose tissue. Brown adipose tissue has been shown to increase energy expenditure, improve insulin sensitivity, and help regulate weight management.

Cutting Edge Ingredients

In addition to MitoBurn®, we added 2.5 grams of betaine anhydrous to 212º Thermo. Betaine anhydrous is usually present in pre-workouts thanks to its ability to increase athletic performance, including muscular strength and endurance. However, evidence suggests betaine anhydrous is beneficial for fat loss. Not only does it help with muscle preservation during a fat loss phase, supports a healthy metabolic rate, and promotes fatty acid oxidation while exercising.

Long-Lasting Energy

The last major change we made based on users’ feedback was lowering the caffeine slightly and changing the caffeine sources to yield longer-lasting energy. 212º Thermo now contains about ~200 milligrams of caffeine from caffeine anhydrous and zümXR® extended-release caffeine. This combination is great for providing sustained energy that still hits hard without the jitters or crash.
