Shredz Toner for Women is kind of a bold move for the Shredz for women line of products. They sell it as a standalone, but it’s also part of their Alpha Female Stack. It’s unusual in that it’s a pre workout for women that contains creatine. It’s pretty common thinking that creatine is only for guys looking to get big and bulky, and that it leaves you kind of soft and bloated. But that’s actually not necessarily true. That’s why Shredz Toner for Women has it, and it promises to get you toned and sexy. But can it?

 

 

How Shredz Toner for Women Works

 

Shredz Toner for Women is primarily about the creatine it provides. I know there are some anti-creatine people out there. And they are especially anti-creatine when it comes to women, but this generally comes from misinformation. Creatine is the most well-studied workout supplement there is. It’s completely natural and perfectly safe. And if used correctly, it will help you get stronger than you could without it.

 

 

 

Creatine is naturally found in the body, and it also comes from some of the foods you eat, mostly in meat and fish. It’s a way for you to increase the amount of ATP available to your muscles when you work out. Let’s back up a bit. ATP (or Adenosine TriPhosphate)is the chemical energy used by your muscles when they work, primarily in their fast twitch capacity, like you use when working out. Your muscles cannot store a lot of ATP, which is why they can crap out so quickly sometimes when you work them hard. But your muscles can store creatine, which turns into ATP on demand. So that’s basically it. You saturate your muscles with creatine. Then, when you’re working out and you need ATP, you call on the creatine to be converted to the ATP you need.

 

Shredz Toner for Women Ingredients

 

The ingredient list for Shredz Toner for Women is as follows:

• Magnesium – 48mg
• Calcium – 14.7mg
• Potassium Chloride – 18mg
• Non-Bloating Creatine Blend – 2200mg.

 

 

That last one is the key, and since it’s a blend, we’ll tell you what’s in it. There’s:

 

• Creatine Magna Power (1) This is Magnesium Creatine Chelate. Creatine comes in many forms. Monohydrate is the most common. This one is specifically designed to absorb better and cause less bloating. If you saturate your muscles with creatine, you’ll have the ATP when you need it. Available ATP means that you’ll be able to get in that extra rep or two, and/or you’ll be able to push more weight.
• Beta Alanine (2) which can increase your muscle endurance by delaying the build up of lactic acid that makes your muscles feel fatigued.
• Capsimax (3) which is a stimulant and fat burner. It helps you get going for your workouts.
• L-Arginine AKG for an increase in Nitric Oxide. This is what makes it a pre-workout. Increased nitric oxide gives you pumps and energy without stimulants. (4)

Shredz Toner for Women Side Effects

 

The most common potential side effect of creatine, and therefore Shredz Toner for Women is bloating. Creatine causes your muscles to retain water. It comes with the territory of creatine saturated muscles. It doesn’t however cause water retention under the skin, which is what we typically think of when we think of bloating. When using creatine, your muscles will retain water, making them look less tight and dry. Once you stop taking creatine, that look will go away, and you’ll maintain your muscle as long as you keep working out.

 

Shredz Toner for Women Dosing

 

The total daily dose for Shredz Toner for Women is 2 capsules with water about 30 minutes before your workout, and 1 capsule about 30 minutes after your workout. The idea with creaine is saturation. Most gurus suggest loading up on creatine to saturate your muscles in what they call the loading phase. You don’t really have to do that. Taking a regular daily dose will get you to saturation, it’ll just take a bit longer. It’s often recommended that you take creatine post workout, but because it’s about reaching a saturation point and maintaining it, it really doesn’t matter when you take it. On the other hand, Shredz Toner for Women contains some pre workout ingredients as well, so pre workout is when you want to take it.

 

Shredz Toner for Women Pros

 

• It encourages the use of creatine in women, which is often viewed in a negative light.
• It helps you puch your muscles harder for better strength and tone.
• It also contains pre workout ingredients.
• It uses creatine that doesn’t cause bloating.

 

Shredz Toner for Women Cons

 

• Because the creatine is in a proprietary blend, we don’t know how much there is. It may not be enough.
• There aren’t very many Shredz Toner for Women reviews that just apply to the Toner. Most of the ones we’ve seen are about the entire Alpha Female Stack.
• The Shredz Toner for Women Instructions seem complicated, which leads to women not taking it as directed

 

Where to Buy

 

You can purchase Shredz Toner for Women through the Shredz website for $49.99. At Amazon.com, you’ll find it for the same price. You can also pick some up at GNC, but you’ll pay an extra $15 for the privilege (an extra $5 if you’re a member).

 

Our Shredz Toner for Women Conclusion

 

Shredz Toner for Women may help introduce women to the concept of supplementing with creatine. Unfortunately, it’s probably not the best representative. There’s no reason why women can’t use the same creatine supplements men do. And they’ll probably save themselves some money in the process.

 

 

Most women see “Toner” and think “I want that” but honestly, the Creatine in Shredz Toner for Women might leave you feeling bloated with cramps.

Q: I really should read this before purchasing this product. Im taking the Toner before and after workouts and the Burner before my first my meal of the day and 6 hours after that. Since the Toner doesn't necessarily burn fat, will taking the combination for burner twice a day help? -Dara
