Blackstone Labs King Cobra
We’re happy to announce the latest
fat burner Blackstone Labs, King Cobra, and it’s a game-changer, being
the first supplement to include both DMAA (labeled as 1,3
Dimethylamylamine) alongside the next-generation PEA-based mood booster,
eria jarensis extract.
But that’s not all there is. If
you like thermogenics, you’re going to love this, with a one-two
trademarked combination of Paradoxine (grains of paradise) and Capsimax
(capsaicin) for some serious heat…
Blackstone Labs
has stated that it will be available in early June, so sign up for
PricePlow’s Blackstone Labs alerts so that you’re notified when it comes
out and when the prices drop:
The King Cobra Ingredients
Blackstone
isn’t pulling any punches with their newest fat burner. It’s fully
decked out with stims, thermogenics, feel good ingredients, and
fat-storage blockers. If their first release post Hi-Tech merger is any
indication, Blackstone is back in a BIG way.
Note: Doses listed below are based on 1 serving (i.e. 1 capsule).
Trixanthin Complex (375mg)
King Cobra’s
backbone energy matrix is a compilation of three extracts including
Ilex Guayusa, Green Tea and Theobroma Cacao which have been standardized
to yield 200mg caffeine, 45mg EGCG, 25mg each Theobromine and
Theophylline.
Ilex Guayusa
Traditionally consumed
by Peruvian and Ecuadorian natives and other indigenous populations as a
morning stimulant, Ilex Guayusa is a plant rich in caffeine and
theobromine, as well as assorted flavonoids, sugars, and chlorogenic
acids.[1,2]
Green Tea Extract
Green tea
leads little introduction, it’s loaded with all sorts of polyphenols
and catechins, notably EGCG, which have a number of cardiovascular and
fat-burning benefits.[3,4]
Theobroma Cacao
Theobroma Cacao
is taxonomical name for the cacao tree or cocoa tree. It’s seeds are
the cocoa beans, from which cocoa powder, chocolate, and cocoa nibs are
derived. It’s also rich in the xanthine compounds theobromine and
theophylline, which is why it’s included in this trifecta of xanthine
compounds.[5]
Eria Jarensis (150mg)
Dust Extreme 2017 is also going back to DMAA! It was released so quickly we had to photoshop Yesenia with her older tub!
Eria
Jarensis is a powerful PEA-like ingredient prized for its
N-phenethyldimethylamine content.[6] This amine gives Eria an extremely
pronounce “euphoric” feeling that just never seems to quit. Plus, it’s
longer lasting than regular PEA due to the unique molecular structure.
We’ve thoroughly
enjoyed this ingredient in numerous other pre workouts and fat burners
we tested over the past year or so, and can’t sing its praises enough.
But the big news here is that we’ve never seen or tried Eria Jarensis
alongside DMAA! That is where this fat burner might take things to a
whole new level.

even more info on the how and why of Eria, checkout our in-depth write

Thing?
Triple-Heat Thermogenic Intensifier (300mg)
Ready to turn the heat up? You better be with this triple-threat thermogenic matrix led off by Paradoxine®.
The premier Grains of Paradise extract available, Paradoxine
is an awesome non-stimulant thermogenic ingredient that increases
energy expenditure and mobilizes fat from brown adipose tissue (BAT).[7]
We’ve got A LOT
more info available on Paradoxine®, that you can find in our in-depth
article titled Grains of Paradise: Fat Fighting Spice of the Goddesses.
Grains of Paradise
Grains of Paradise
is more than a spice. It contains a few key compounds that are shown in
humans to burn fat safely and effectively! We have the research below.
This is our favorite non-stimulant fat burning ingredient, and we’re excited to see it in here!
Capsimax
The temperature is still rising with this cayenne pepper alkaloid!
Capsimax
Capsimax is
an encapsulated cayenne pepper extract that prevents the side effects
of taking capsaicin directly (like heartburn). We love it…. when it’s in
a capsule based product like this one! Chile peppers are incredibly
tasty and a great way to spice up your food, but they also accelerate
weight loss. Capsaicin is the potent compound inside of chile peppers,
such as cayenne, that give it its quintessential heat.
Capsimax is the patented capsaicin extract shown to increase thermogenesis and decrease appetite.[8,9]
As if this
wasn’t hot enough with the stim blend and those grains of paradise…
Blackstone is really going all out on thermo with King Cobra. Capsimax +
Paradoxine = Serious thermogenesis!
BioPerine
BioPerine really
needs know introduction. It’s been used extensively throughout the
supplement industry for its ability to enhance the bioavailability of
other compounds present in supplements. But, it also enhances fat loss
and thermogenesis thanks to piperine, the pungent alkaloid inside black
pepper responsible for its bite.
Erythropalum scandens (50mg)
Erythropalum Scandens is
another novel ingredient rich in PEA substances that will have a longer
lasting and strong stim kick than regular PEA. Native to Southern Asia,
Erythropalum Scandens is an herb widely used for its medicinal
qualities. Researchers investigated the plant have discovered roughly 40
bioactive compounds in its leaves[10], some of which enhance energy
levels and mood.
Of particular interest,
are N-Benzyl-2-phenylethylamine, 2-Phenylethylamine, and
N,N-Diethyl-2-Phenylethylamine which exhibit a longer half-life than
regular PEA and provide a superior mood and stim kick over plain old
PEA.[11]
If Eria Jarensis above wasn’t
enough PEA goodness for you, you’ll get even more possibilities here.
King Cobra is shaping up to be the king of mood-enhancing fat burners at
this rate!
1,3 Dimethylamylamine HCl (45mg)
Blackstone Labs wasn’t joking when they said they might have a new KING of fat burners coming out! This label is near perfection!
The
king of aliphatic amines has returned to Blackstone Labs after a brief
hiatus. DMAA is known far and wide for its stimulating and
mood-elevating effects, and it functions all the better when paired
alongside caffeine. Anecdotally, DMAA also exhibits fairly strong
appetite suppression, which helps eliminate any hunger cravings hardcore
dieters get from time to time.
And yes, before you even ask DMAA is both safe and legal (for the time being).
This
dose reminds us of Hi-Tech Pharma’s Fastin dose, but with newer
ingredients like the PEA from eria jarensis instead of acacia rigidula.
Again, this will be the first time Eria has been mixed with DMAA, so
it’s going to be a fun ride.
Citrus Aurantium (42.5mg)
To keep the fat burning going,
King Cobra includes Citrus Aurantium, standardized to 25mg synephrine. A
safe and effective ephedra substitute[12,13], citrus aurantium is used
far and wide in fat burners.
Want abs like Blackstone Athlete Missy
Farrell? King Cobra can help with that. Synephrine acts on the Beta-2
and Beta-3 receptors in your body[14,15], which stimulates the release
of triglycerides (lipolysis). Your body essentially shifts to burning
fat for fuel at this point, which bodes well for your weight loss
aspirations.
Yohimbe Extract (22mg)
King Cobra’s final fat
burning ingredient is Yohimbe extract standardized to Yohimbine, alpha
yohimbine, and 11-hydroxy yohimbine. Yohimbine is a powerful stimulant
that helps suppress appetite and block fat storage.[16]
The only thing we wish we knew was the total yohimbine yield in King Cobra, because it’s a make or break ingredient for many individuals.
Wow – Count us in! This pretty much has all of our favorite ingredients wrapped in one.
