Forge Pre-Workout Fat Burner Supplement

Take 1 capsule per 50 pounds of body weight 15 minutes prior to fasted training. If well tolerated, add 1 capsule per use until reaching 1 capsule per 25 pounds of body weight.

The primary active ingredient in Forge is yohimbine, which accelerates fat loss by increasing calorie burning and improving your body's ability to break down the fat trapped inside “stubborn” fat cells.

That said, elevated insulin levels completely negate yohimbine’s weight-loss effects, and that means that if you want to reap its fat loss benefits, you want to use yohimbine only when you’re in a fasted state.[1][2]

Basically, yohimbine acts like a key that “unlocks” stubborn fat cells so the fat inside can be burned. High insulin levels “change the locks,” so that yohimbine no longer works.

This is true whether you exercise or not, but research shows that exercising in a fasted state boosts blood flow in the abdominal region, which helps you burn the “stubborn” fat in this area. In other words, fasted exercise and yohimbine work synergistically to improve fat burning in traditionally “stubborn” areas like the belly and lower back on men and the hips and thighs on women.

Although both Forge and Phoenix are fat burners, they work in slightly different ways.

Forge helps you lose fat by mobilizing “stubborn” body fat, which can then be burned for energy, but it’s only beneficial when taken before fasted training. (Forge also marginally boosts metabolic rate, but not enough to warrant taking it if you aren’t also fasted training).

Phoenix helps you lose fat by boosting metabolic rate, improving the body’s ability to metabolize body fat, and reducing appetite and cravings (and carb cravings in particular), and you can get these benefits regardless of whether you’re in a fasted or fed state.

As to whether they can be used together—absolutely! In fact, we created Forge to work synergistically with our fat burner Phoenix and pre-workout supplement Pulse.

When taken together, these three supplements are a powerful fat loss “stack” that helps you lose fat as quickly, healthily, and enjoyably as possible.

You'll see results with Forge quickly. Most people see a noticeable increase in fat loss (and especially stubborn fat loss) within two weeks of starting it.

No, you won't just gain back the fat you lose while taking Forge. The only way you can regain the fat Forge helps you lose is by dramatically overeating after you’re done dieting, which is a common mistake many people make.

No, you won't lose muscle if you do fasted exercise and take Forge. It’s true that fasted exercise increases muscle breakdown rates, but that’s why Forge contains a clinically effective dosage of HMB. HMB counteracts these negative effects and helps preserve your muscle while training in a fasted state.

You can safely use Forge for as long as you’re cutting. It doesn’t contain any molecules that will harm you over time.

A “pre-workout fat burner” is a fat loss supplement that's meant to be taken before you work out. It’s not a full-fledged pre-workout supplement in the traditional sense because its primary purpose isn’t to acutely increase workout performance. It’s first and foremost a fat burner, and the fact that it can improve workout performance as well is a bonus.

You should take Forge every day that you do fasted exercise because the more frequently you take it, the more it can help you lose fat faster.

(Interestingly, yohimbine also becomes more effective the longer you use it.)

Yes, Forge is suitable for both fasted weightlifting and cardio. Actually, Forge can be taken before any type of fasted exercise, and the more intense the exercise is, the more fat you'll burn as a result.

No. It won't hurt, but it's also not necessary. Forge is meant to be paired with fasted workouts, which aren't ideal for building muscle or bulking, so save your money and take Forge only when you're cutting.
