SST V3X Review – A 3-in-1 Fat Burning Supplement

When it comes to stimulant-based supplements, you usually hear claims about increased energy, focus, or fat burning. 

And as the demand for stimulants continues to grow, more and more products are out there that are aimed at increasing not just one of these factors, but all of them. 

Among the many stimulants out there, this review is all about a product called SST V3X, so let’s see what this supplement may have to offer for energy, fat loss, and more. 

About SST V3X

SST V3X is a fat loss and energy supplement made by Performix. Performix is known for its fitness supplements, and we have previously reviewed the company’s protein, pre-workout, and original SST formula.

SST V3X is a version of SST that is supposed to give you 3x the energy, focus, and fat-burning compared to the original formula. They say the secret is in their combination of caffeine, dynamine, and teacrine, which have been clinically researched and backed by recent evidence. But they also include many other fat burners and cognitive enhancers, such as yohimbine and Huperzine A. 

Plus, they use proprietary timed-release technology, so you can get long-lasting and stable energy throughout the whole day, without any crashes. 

All in all, SST V3X is designed to be the ideal supplement for people who want a massive surge in energy…and it’s not for the faint of heart. 

SST V3X Benefits

SST V3X is loaded with stimulants and is advertised to provide benefits including:

• Supercharged Energy
• Supercharged Metabolism
• Supercharged Focus

Supercharged Energy

SST V3X contains a whopping 350mg of caffeine and is paired with Teacrine and Dynamine, which they claim increase caffeine’s effectiveness 3-fold to give you unmatched energy. 

Supercharged Metabolism

The megadose of caffeine alongside other ingredients, such as capsaicin and yohimbine, is designed to boost your metabolism and accelerate fat loss. 

Supercharged Focus

Additionally, SST V3X is advertised to enhance your focus to new heights with ingredients such as Huperzine A and teacrine, so you can get dialed in for all of your daily tasks. 

Getting 3x the benefits for energy, metabolism, and focus certainly sounds appealing. But will SST V3X actually live up to its claims? Read on to find out!

SST V3X Ingredients

SST V3X is highlighted by the combo of caffeine, Teacrine, and Dyamine. Most of their active ingredients are included in their Performix SST Extreme Energy, Metabolism, and Focus Terra Bead Complex. So let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in SST V3X. 

Caffeine, Dynamine, and TeaCrine: The Terrific Trifecta?

By far the most talked about ingredients in SST V3X are caffeine, Dynamine, and TeaCrine. We all know what caffeine is, but what about the other two? 

Well, Dynamine and TeaCrine are both trademarked forms of different caffeine metabolites, so they are supposed to work synergistically with caffeine.

Caffeine

Caffeine is one of the most well-known stimulants and can increase energy, alertness, attention, endurance, strength, and much more. It does this by acting on the central nervous system (CNS) to increase certain neurotransmitters while also increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and muscular contractions. 

Caffeine, Dynamine, and TeaCrine Combo

Now, some interesting things happen when caffeine is combined with Dynamine and TeaCrine. 

Firstly, some research has shown that caffeine increases the bioavailability of TeaCrine, and that Dynamine increases the bioavailability of caffeine. Plus, Dynamine can decrease oral clearance and increase the half-life of caffeine, meaning that it stays in your system for longer. 

In turn, this means that combining these ingredients together can increase their stimulating effects. 

For example, some research shows that TeaCrine can improve cognitive performance when combined with caffeine compared to caffeine alone. 

And other research shows that combining Dynamine and TeaCrine with caffeine can improve cognitive and motor ability while also lessening some undesirable effects of caffeine, such as jitteriness, anxiety, and cognitive control. 

The effective dosages for caffeine, Dynamine, and TeaCrine should be around 200mg, 75mg, and 50mg, respectively. 

Yohimbe Bark Extract

Another ingredient in SST V3X is Yohimbe bark extract, which is most known for its yohimbine content. Yohimbine is an alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonist, which leads to more adrenaline staying in the bloodstream for longer. This causes stimulant effects and increases blood pressure, heart rate, and norepinephrine, which may help stimulate fat loss. 

Huperzine A

Huperzine A is a compound that comes from Huperzia serrata (toothed clubmoss) extract. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor that helps to then raise acetylcholine levels in the body, possibly increasing focus and cognitive function (commonly found in nootropics). However, most of the research has been done on Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.

BioPerine

BioPerine is a popular trademarked form of black pepper extract. It can increase the bioavailability of many different substances, such as minerals, vitamins, and herbs. Plus, it has its own thermogenic activity and may be mildly useful for fat loss by inhibiting fat absorption. 

Chili Extract

Up next is an extract from tabasco chili pepper, which is known for its high concentration of capsaicinoids. Capsaicinoids have stimulant-like effects and may increase fat oxidation and thermogenesis. Plus, some research shows they can lower cholesterol and blood glucose while improving insulin sensitivity. Overall, it is decent for fat loss and body fat reduction. 

Performix Extreme Metabolism Carrier Oil Matrix

The Performix Extreme Metabolism Carrier Oil Matrix contains medium chain triglycerides (MCT), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and extracts from orange peel, ginger, rosemary, and parsley. 

MCT and CLA

MCT and CLA are both types of fatty acids that may have some benefits for weight loss. Some research shows that these fatty acids can increase satiety, increase fatty acid breakdown, and even improve gut health. And some studies have shown that MCT and CLA supplementation leads to reductions in body fat and overall weight, but there still isn’t a whole lot of evidence. 

Herbal Extracts

Also included are extracts from orange peel, ginger, rosemary, and parsley, which we grouped together since they offer the same general benefits. 

Essentially, these extracts contain numerous bioactive compounds that can help to reduce blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, while also improving insulin sensitivity and HDL cholesterol. Plus, some research shows they can increase fat oxidation and help reduce the negative effects of high-fat diets. 

Vitamin B12

The final ingredient is a mammoth dose of vitamin B12, at over 20,000 percent of the daily value. Vitamin B12 is involved in energy metabolism and neurotransmitter production. And it appears to be able to reduce both mental and physical fatigue while improving energy levels. 

Does SST V3X Work?

SST V3X should very likely work as an energy enhancer and possibly for focus and fat loss too. 

The main beneficial ingredients are caffeine, Dynamine, and Teacrine, as they are all very well-researched and proven to enhance energy levels and cognitive function. Plus, the dosages of all three of these are right in line with the research. Well….except for caffeine, which uses even more than what was used in the studies (quite a bit more, actually). So, the energy increase will certainly be there. 

The other ingredients have decent research behind them, but certainly not as well as the first three ingredients. Yohimbe may have some benefits for fat loss, especially since they include a pretty high dosage. Same goes for BioPerine and chili extrat, although they included a really low dose of capsaicin, so this probably won’t do much. 

And Huperzine A is well-researched for increasing acetylcholine; the problem is that it hasn’t really been researched in healthy people trying to improve focus or overall cognitive performance. 

The megadose of vitamin B12 might also increase energy and cognitive performance, especially for people prone to deficiencies. 

Lastly, you should get some benefits for fat loss and overall health from ingredients such as MCT, CLA, and the different herbal extracts mentioned. The problem is, they don’t list the dosages for any of these ingredients, so you don’t know how much you’re getting. We do know that the total weight of this matrix is less than 1 gram, and since CLA itself typically needs to be dosed at at least 3 grams, there’s clearly not a high enough dose of these ingredients. 

Overall, caffeine, Dynamine, and TeaCrine steal the show in this product for enhancing energy and cognitive function, with the other ingredients acting as mild supporters for energy, focus, and fat loss. 

Claims vs. Reality

SST V3X is supposed to give you supercharged energy, metabolism, and focus. Now, using a word like “supercharged” creates pretty high expectations, but in terms of energy, this is probably true. 

Given that there is over 350mg of caffeine in here PLUS specific ingredients designed to complement and enhance caffeine’s effects, I would definitely expect a surge in energy, alertness, and cognition. 

The highly stimulating nature of SST V3X should also be able to improve metabolism, but don’t expect any drastic weight loss. Maybe a few extra pounds over the course of several weeks. Because even the fat loss ingredients that work really well in the research only lead to mild fat loss. 

Finally, the inclusion of TeaCrine alongside caffeine should help increase focus and cognitive function, and this might be enhanced by Huperzine A. I’d expect users to feel a little more zoned in and focused, but it’s not like you’re gonna three-fold your productivity or anything. 

Who is it Best For?

SST V3X is only recommended for people who love and can tolerate a high level of stimulants. If you want a pretty massive increase in energy for whatever it is you need to do, such as work, working out, or just powering through the day, SST V3X is worth considering. 

People who have a lower tolerance to caffeine may prefer a fat burner like Skald (which contains a third of the caffeine) or Burn Lab Pro which contains no caffeine.

Is SST V3X Safe?

There are definitely some possible side effects with SST V3X, such as:

• Increased blood pressure and heart rate
• Increased anxiety, nervousness, agitation, irritability, and insomnia
• Headache and dizziness
• Heart arrhythmias
• Sweating
• Nausea, diarrhea, bloating, stomach pain, and other digestive symptoms

To assess your tolerance, you’re instructed to start with a half serving (1 capsule) before moving up to a full serving (2 capsules). 

SST V3X is supposed to be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. Never take it within 6 hours of bedtime.

It should not be taken with caffeine or other stimulants, nor should you exceed one serving per day. 

Where to Buy SST V3X
