Brief Summary
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Healthy, exercising adult males and females will be recruited for participation. After providing informed consent, each participant will be randomized to one of three groups: 1) OxyShred thermogenic fat burner; 2) Placebo (PL); and 3) Control. All participants will complete a baseline laboratory visit consisting of assessments of body composition, anthropometry, metabolism, hemodynamics, dietary intake, exercise habits, and subjective variables. Participants in the two intervention groups (i.e., OxyShred and PL) will then be given dietary supplements for daily consumption, including OxyShred/PL and protein powder. Participants in all groups will complete the 4-week study and follow their usual training and nutrition habits - besides increased protein intake in the OxyShred and PL groups - along with questionnaires to assess compliance with the study protocol and potential side effects of supplementation. Following this 4-week period, participants will complete a second laboratory visit, where all baseline assessments will be repeated. The effects of group (OxyShred, PL, and control) and time (baseline, 4 weeks) will be statistically examined using linear models, along with appropriate post-hoc tests.
