One of the main reasons I started this website a few years back was to try to make some sense of the exploding online bodybuilding supplement market, and these days, it’s more necessary than ever. With so many products, covering similar, different, and overlapping needs, it’s tough to just keep up. One of the biggest problems lately keeping track of all the different products with almost identical names.
Take Alpha Fuel 720 for instance. A visitor to SupplementCritique.com asked me to check it out, so I started with a quick Google search on the product name. No less than three separate supplements popped up in my search, and several of the websites alternated between the three as though they were the same product. But they’re not the same product – two are testosterone boosters, but the real Alpha Fuel 720 is something else entirely. So let’s start by filling you in on all the available information we have on the real Alpha Fuel 720.
What Is Alpha Fuel 720?
Despite what you’ll see on some other review websites, Alpha Fuel 720 is a post workout recovery supplement designed to help your muscles and your body heal, repair, and rebuild after your toughest workouts. Most people underestimate the importance of rest and recovery, but these are hugely important factors in your overall program to build muscle. When you don’t give your muscles the proper environment and enough rest, you won’t achieve the results you work so hard for.
Alpha Fuel 720 claims to give you that environment so you can go back at the gym even harder next time, creating a cycle of harder-charging workouts and greater results.
Isn”t Alpha Fuel 720 a Testosterone Booster?
This is where most of the confusion lies. Search results for Alpha Fuel 720 return a lot of websites claiming to be talking about Alpha Fuel 720, but really they’re talking about two (or more) totally different (and unrelated) supplements: Alpha Fuel Testosterone Support and Alpha Cut HD Cleansing Enhancer:
Check out this example:
Needless to say, this causes a lot of confusion about what Alpha Fuel 720 really is, and especially about what’s in it. A lot of these websites combine ingredient lists from the different supplements and say that’s what’s found in Alpha Fuel 720.
But the only real information we can count on is what we find directly from the Alpha Fuel 720 people, on their official website.
Alpha Fuel 720 Ingredients
The entire ingredient list is not provided by the folks at Alpha Fuel 720, but they do list the three primary active components: Tribulus Terrestris, Horny Goat Weed, and Fenugreek Exract. This short little list is probably part of the reason those other sites add more to it. This is a very short list, and truthfully, as a post workout supplement, it makes no sense.
Post workout supplements are usually built around Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). These are the building blocks of new muscle and muscle repair. Without them, it’s hard to imagine a product even calling itself a post workout supplement. Here’s a little bit about the listed Alpha Fuel 720 ingredients and what they can do for you:
- Tribulus Terrestris is widely used in natural testosterone boosting supplements (another reason for confusion over what Alpha Fuel 720 really is, perhaps). It is believed by many to increase the body’s natural production of testosterone by signaling the pituitary gland to release more Luteinizing Hormone, which in turn signals the testes to release more testosterone. The evidence for this doesn’t exist, but anecdotally, users have had success with both increased muscle mass and libido when using Tribulus. The recommended daily dose varies based on the saponin concentration, and since we don’t have that information, it would be difficult to say what the proper dose would be.
- Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium) is an aphrodisiac that also improves blood flow by relaxing blood vessels. Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients delivered to your muscles both during and after workouts. This will provide some post workout recovery support. The recommended daily dose is 900mg-1200mg.
- Fenugreek Extract is also thought to increase testosterone levels, but again, science hasn’t been able to prove it yet. There is evidence, however, that it improves sexual performance and may help regulate the release of insulin. The recommended daily dose for muscle building is between 500mg-2000mg
There may be other ingredients in the formula, but since these are the only ones listed on the official product website, they’re the only ones that have been confirmed. So basically, as a post workout supplement, I’d have to say the formula is pretty weak. If I were to guess based on those ingredients what kind of supplement Alpha Fuel 720 was, I’d say natural testosterone booster for sure. And without any knowledge of dosages used, it’s likely that even as a testosterone booster, it’s weak.
Where to Buy Alpha Fuel 720
Alpha Fuel 720 is currently only available online through their official website. You can either buy your bottle or bottles outright, or you can sign up for their free trial offer, but don’t be fooled, the trial is anything but free. In fact, it could be the start of a monthly billing nightmare that you’ll be cursing yourself for getting involved with in the first place.
Confused? I’ll explain how it works:
- You sign up for the free trial by paying just $4.95 in shipping fees.
- They send you a one month supply of Alpha Fuel 720 which you should receive in 1-4 days.
- From the moment you order, you have 18 days (4 for shipping, 14 for trying) to use Alpha Fuel 720 and decide if it works. If you believe it does, do nothing and they’ll charge you the full price of $97.99 for the “free” bottle you’ve been using for 2 weeks.
- By not canceling, you’re also agreeing to pay for a new bottle to be sent to you each month at that $97.99 price for the next 3 months.
If you don’t want to be charged anything beyond the initial shipping fee for the trial, call within 18 days of your original order date and tell them you want to cancel you subscription. If you get through and you’re understood, that should be the end of it. But most people don’t know or understand the terms of the offer until they see the first $97.99 charge on their credit card bill. At that point, it’s usually impossible to get your money back, but you must still call and cancel your subscription to avoid further charges.
What To Do If You’ve Already Been Scammed
If you notice a charge or charges on your account, you need to contact Alpha Fuel 720 by phone as soon as possible to cancel and further charges. You should also request a refund for charges already incurred, but your chances of getting that are pretty slim.
The Alpha Fuel 720 website lists 2 separate customer service telephone numbers with 2 separate hours of operation, and they mention several times in the Terms & Conditions that you need to cancel by phone.
Here’s the contact information page on the website:
And here’s what phone number listed in the Terms & Conditions:
If you have been caught up in this scam, and you’re being charged, I recommend you keep calling each of the numbers within their stated business hours until you’re able to get through and take care of your cancellation. Make sure you note the time, date, customer service agent name, and any confirmation number or code they may give you.
Send an email as well, but the Terms state several times that cancellations must be done over the phone so make sure you call as well.
If you don’t want to get wrapped up in the free trial craziness, you can purchase Alpha Fuel 720 with a straight up sale, no strings attached. A single bottle sells for that $97.99 price, but if you buy multiples you’ll see a hefty discount:
- Buy 2 Get 1 Free giving you 3 total bottles for $114.99.
- Buy 3 Get 2 Free giving you 5 total bottles for $139.99.
These prices actually make no sense. If one bottle is $98, how are 2 bottles $115, and 3 bottles $140? Clearly, if you plan to us Alpha Fuel 720, the way to go is to buy the stuff outright at these huge discounts.
Is There A Money Back Guarantee?
When you go with the trial offer, your money back guarantee is basically built into the offer. If you don’t like your results after a week or so, call and cancel so you don’t get charged full price. But if you use the straight up sale model, there is a money back guarantee offer that applies to you. It’s terms are not set in stone. Alpha Fuel 720 says contact them and they’ll consider your request on a case by case basis.
Who Makes Alpha Fuel 720?
That’s a very good question. The company name listed in their contact information and all throughout their Terms & Conditions document is just Alpha Fuel 720. But they list several different corporate address: one in Cheyenne WY, one in Henderson NV, one in San Diego CA, one in Del Mar, CA, and even an international address in Watford, United Kingdom. We’ve seen these same addresses listed for several other supplements we’ve reviewed over the years.
What this really means is that this same company makes lots of different supplements, and maybe even some other kinds of products as well, but they don’t want customers connecting the dots between them. They run this “free trial scam” with so many different products that if they put them all under one corporate banner, people would quickly learn to stay away from this one company. But since they’re not outwardly linked under one name, they can appear unrelated and not suffer the consequences of a negative reputation for one of their other products.
Alpha Fuel 720 Pros and Cons
Advantages of Alpha Fuel 720
- The ingredients are natural and are commonly found in similar supplements.
- There is abundant contact information, so when you inevitably need to contact the company for a refund or cancellation, you shouldn’t have a problem.
- Disadvantages of Alpha Fuel 720There’s a lot of confusion about what Alpha Fuel 720 really is: is it a testosterone booster or post workout supplement. They tell you it’s for post workout, but the ingredients clearly say testosterone booster.
- The free trial offer and straight sale pricing make no sense.
- The money back guarantee is not particularly solid, claiming to be handled on a case by case basis.
- There are no Alpha Fuel 720 reviews from customers so we have no idea how it’s working out in the real world.
- There are no clinical studies supporting its effectiveness.
Conclusion
If you can think of a reason to use Alpha Fuel 720, you’ll have to let me know because I can’t see any. The company seems to be completely unconcerned with how they present the product, how they price it, how they are perceived. They found a marketing formula that works. Get a website up, offer a “Free” Trial that actually traps customers into repeat billing, and make a bunch of money off of unsuspecting customers thinking they’re trying something for free. When people start to catch on, change the name and start the process all over again. It’s a winning marketing formula, but what we’re looking for is winning supplement formula, and Alpha Fuel 720 ain’t it.
We’ve seen it dozens, maybe even hundreds of times. Alpha Fuel 720 is just one more. Don’t be fooled, but if you already have been, use the contact information above to control the damage.
