Basic Cuts by Designer Supplements

BASIC CUTS is a thermogenic fat burner designed to meet the needs of the premier athlete. It offers a wealth of effects including mental and physically stimulation, along with significant mood elevation. However, its primary effect is as a very potent fat burner. It achieves this with a quartet of synergistic ingredients included for their pronounced effects on fat oxidation and each other!

Phenylethylamine & Hordenine
Phenylethylamine (PEA) exerts a stimulatory effect in the brain through its effect on the beta-adrenergic and dopamine receptors. Through these mechanisms, PEA not only increases attention and activity but can also elevate mood significantly. And of course, significantly promote the use of fat for fuel.

Hordenine is included in BASIC CUTS in order to make PEA orally bioavailable. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme MAO-B, and as consequence, dopamine activity is also prolonged. During dieting, dopamine is of particular importance because it is generally theorized to be the body’s means of communication between the brain and the anti-starvation hormone Leptin. Additionally, dopamine is also associated with nutrient partitioning, mood, appetite and a whole host of other biochemical functions.

Cayenne Pepper & Caffeine
Cayenne pepper rapidly boosts metabolic rate and promotes carbohydrate oxidation during exercise and at rest. This means increased calorie burning and fat loss. Cayenne also assists in appetite suppression, something that can become a critical factor for even the most strong-willed dieter. It also has a synergistic quality for reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure in combination with the final ingredient in the profile – caffeine.

Caffeine acts in the brain by antagonizing (blocking) adenosine A1 and A2A receptors, inhibiting the breakdown of Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP). Adenosine typically slows nerve cell activity, initiating a relaxed type of environment similar to the state experienced during sleep. By antagonizing adenosine, this effect is in fact reversed and nerve cell activity is increased, leading to fat burning and stimulation.

Stacking BASIC CUTS
While diet and cardio are still the king and queen of fat loss, BASIC CUTS can be added as a stand-alone or in conjunction with Melting Point and/or Lean Xtreme to accelerate results.

Basic Cuts Questions and Answers

(Q) Phenylethylamine... is it the same as the amino acid phenylalanine?
(A) No, Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a neurotransmitter like norepinephrine etc. It shares a name so closely related to the amino acid phenylalanine because that is the amino acid base used to synthesize the compound.

(Q) Doesn’t PEA have really poor oral bioavailability?
(A) Yeah, it is oxidized by MAO-B before it reaches the brain. This is why we include hordenine in the ingredient profile – it inhibits MAO-B, allowing PEA to get to the brain and exert its effects on mood elevation and energy promotion.

(Q) Can I stack BASIC CUTS with ephedrine?
(A) We don’t recommend this, nor do we feel it to be necessary due to BASIC CUTS stimulatory effect alone, but theoretically you could, yes.

(Q) Which ingredient is the catalyst behind BASIC CUTS? Or is it the synergy from all combined?
(A) It is the combination. If you read the write-up, you will see that PEA needs the hordenine to really exert its effects, and the caffeine and cayenne pepper have synergistic qualities when combined with regards to energy expenditure and appetite suppression.

(Q) So why call it “basic”?
(A) It is meant to signify the cost-effectiveness of the Designer Stackables product, but after receiving the abundance of amazing feedback on it, maybe we sold it short a little.
Try it, and let us know what you think.

(Q) How would you compare this product to Chocamine? It seems to work similarly, except with more emphasis on the PEA (which is supposedly rendered mostly useless in chocamine).
(A) It is our opinion that we have taken the best part of chocamine, made it more active, and added some synergistic fat-loss and stimulant-based compounds. We considered chocamine as one of the ingredients; it did not make the final cut.

(Q) How well does BASIC CUTS work with XCEED?
(A) For pre-workout, fantastically. We’ve dubbed it the pre-workout assault strategy because you have energy, mental clarity, focus, pumps and endurance all set up for your workout.

(Q) Can I use BASIC CUTS daily?
(A) Yep.

(Q) What is the maximum length of time I can take it for?
(A) During your dieting phase that generally last 6-12 weeks is fine. Then take a nice break from all stimulants for a few weeks.
If you use 2 caps purely fore pre-workout stimulation, there is less of a need to cycle it, but we still generally recommend you do.
