What is Ripped Muscle X

Designed to give you quick results, Ripped Muscle X works to raise energy levels and decrease body fat by accelerating metabolism and digestion safely.  The website claims you’ll feel powerful and jacked up all day and your body will be constantly cut, hard, and ripped.  They also make other claims, like that Ripped Muscle X blocks fat from sticking to your body, and that you will literally shed pounds and pounds of weight quickly and easily.

It’s almost like they are saying it’s essentially a bodybuilding supplement that works like steroids, without actually being one of course.

Their site is littered with chiseled looking guys with six pack abs, but they are careful to note that they are actually actors and not real people.

When I initially wrote this review, they weren’t disclosing what the ingredients in their formula were.  I did a little digging and ultimately found out (see below), but it seems like they may have changed up their formula yet again.

When I visit the official Ripped Muscle X site now, it’s saying that it simply contains creatine…

If you’ve ever taken creatine in the past, you know it works.  However, creatine doesn’t make you ripped.

In fact, creatine usually does the EXACT opposite.  I’m not sure if this is the exact formula still, so let’s discuss what the ingredients were when I used it.

How Ripped Muscle X is SCAMMING You

Actually there are a ton of flogs (fake blogs = flogs…get it?) out there that say if you combine Ripped Muscle X with another supplement that you’ll get insane results with it.  These are completely untrue, and are a ruse to get you to signup for their free trial which ends up billing you some crazy amount in the future.  Here’s a few of them below:

Ripped Muscle X and Elite Test 360

I’ve seen this one a bunch of times.  It starts off with some ad saying “Miracle supplement celebrity’s use” and has pictures of “The Rock” and other celebrities whose bodies were apparently transformed by this miracle supplement.

Of course, they used Ripped Muscle X and Elite test 360, and wouldn’t you know it?

The companies that make both of these supplements are giving them away free??!  Wow, how nice of them!  The supposed mens health blog goes on to show you the routine the supposed “tester” used to gain insane amounts of lean muscle, and chronicles his day to day transformation.

Again though, in the fine print the real story starts to emerge.  If you sign up for their free trial both products enroll you into an auto-rebill, auto-shipment nightmare which could end up costing you thousands!!  It might be worth it if using Ripped Muscle X and Elite Test 360 actually worked, but in my opinion based on my results with Ripped Muscle X alone I would say it probably doesn’t.

This is not the first time I’ve seen this tactic by the way.

If you’re browsing through your Facebook feed you’ll probably see ads for supplement combos like this all the time.

I know I have.  There’s Hypertone Force and Hypertone Excel,  TestX Core and NO Max Shred, and even Alpha Monster Advanced and Apple Cider vinegar.

Don’t believe the hype, it’s all marketing fluff which I’ll get into in a little bit.

Ripped Muscle X and Enduros

These flogs are not limited to just getting ripped and muscle building claims.  Nope, they’ve also started popping up saying that if you take Ripped Muscle X and Enduros, you will actually grow your penis size.

It’s no joke, I’ve seen the ads and the claims.

Usually, the flog is some “girlfriends” blog that happened to stumble upon these supplements.  When reading about some porn stars who apparently used them combined to gain size down there, she decided to order them for her boyfriend.

So what happens next? 

You guessed it, they want you to give your credit card information to them to help pay for the shipping charge.  And of course you know the rest of the story.  There’s a similar scam floating around proclaiming the same benefits by using ripped muscle x and optimal stack, so watch out for that one as well.  Just saw another combo for this and Fat Burn X as well.

What People Are Saying…

While I was researching this product, I came across a TON of unfavorable reviews of Ripped Muscle X.  The vast majority are complaining about the free trial terms and conditions, and feel they’ve been duped into ordering the product when they thought they were getting a sample.

Here’s a few snippets of those reviews:

There are literally DOZENS of reviews dating all the way back to 2013 that completely bash the free trial.  In fact, if you look at the bottom of this page you’ll find dozens of other guys who were scammed as well.

Unfortunately, there aren’t too many people that left an ACTUAL review of their experience with the product itself.  But there are a few, check them out below:

If you look at the reviews on Amazon, you’ll find literally TONS of similar experiences.  The again, the reviews on Amazon aren’t always so reliable.

My Personal Results With Ripped Muscle X

I got a chance to try out Ripped Muscle X and see if it really lived up to the claims they were mentioning.  To start, I made sure I was taking this without anything else so the effectiveness could be gauged more appropriately.  The directions on the label state to take your first dose of tablet first thing in the morning, and then take the second later on in the afternoon.

After the first few days I started feeling a little bit different I guess, but NOTHING like the ads had claimed.

One week into it I felt a small increase in libido, but I wasn’t turning into a sex machine or anything.  My abs…I couldn’t see them an more than before, and started to get the feeling Ripped Muscle X should maybe change their name to Shit Muscle X.

After about 2 weeks and no noticeable results, I decided to just keep taking it and see what happened.  At the end of the month I had MAYBE lost 3 lbs., but I certainly was not looking like Gerard Butler.

Then all of a sudden one day I get another bottle of Ripped Muscle X in the mail out of nowhere.  I was like “cool, more free stuff!” then I noticed about a week later I had been charged $87.63 twice!!  I called the customer service line FURIOUS over the charge, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was of no help.

I was out close to $180 for a product that didn’t even work!  I subsequently wrote up a post about these supposed miracle combinations, check it out here.

Ripped Muscle X Ingredients and How They Work

The main focus of the ingredients we could find is better blood and oxygen flow to the muscles.  This helps you push further while you’re working out, as well as speed recovery time when resting.

• L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are amino acids that are both precursors to Nitric Oxide, which helps enable better blood flow throughout the body, including to the muscles during and after a workout.  This improved blood flow is also what helps sexual performance as an influx of blood is what causes firm erections.
• Acai Berry increases energy, improves digestion, and adds to the health of your immune system.
• Beta Alanine is an amino acid that increases energy and staves off muscular fatigue, allowing for more productive workouts.
• Zinc promotes muscle growth and repair.
• Creatine Citrate encourages greater muscle output during workouts, and promotes better muscle growth in general.
• Green Tea works as a powerful antioxidant to prevent free radical damage, especially after a workout.

Their are no product warnings for Ripped Muscle X, other than the standard “you must be 18 years old or older to use it, and woman who are pregnant should not take it.”

Ingredient Effectiveness

L-Arginine

L-Arginine is one of the main ingredients in Ripped Muscle X and has been studied numerous times. There appears to be many health conditions that Arginine can help improve such as hypertension, obesity and even sometimes cancer.

There have also been studies that suggest this amino acid can also shorten the recovery time needed in between workouts. While more research needs to be done in order to scientifically prove the exact effectiveness of Arginine there is a sufficient amount of data to support this ingredient has a positive impact on overall health and may assist with improving exercise activities.

There are some very good articles that outline the benefits of using this ingredient as a supplement.

L-Citrulline

Ripped Muscle X does contain L-Citrulline but how effective this ingredient is for building muscle and gaining improvement in physical performance is questionable.

I spent a considerable amount of time researching this ingredient and found there was not a lot of proven medical evidence available. The claim that this ingredient has a direct positive effect on building muscle is supported by some and not by others.

However, I did find some reviews on Webmd.com that were generally positive with people reporting good results with a wide array of health issues.

Acai Berry

Acai Berries have been used by some as a diet supplement to assist in prevention of heart disease as well as various types of cancer. There are several reports that outline the Acai Berry as having significant benefits to overall health and increasing energy levels.

While it seems this ingredient does provide some nice health benefits there is no conclusive evidence that provides support for its effectiveness in building muscle and gaining strength.

More studies need to be done and you need to be careful if you have any allergies as well as watch the amount that you are ingesting.

Beta Alanine

Beta Alanine is one of the best ingredients in Ripped Muscle X and has been directly related to improving endurance.

Most of the research studies that have been completed have been limited, but they have shown significant results with individuals being able to engage in strenuous exercise activity for longer periods of time. While this ingredient may not directly increase muscle size or strength it is obviously logical that if you can workout longer and harder then you will have better results.

Are There any Side Effects?

With any supplement it is important that you speak with your physician or health professional before you add it to your diet. Since we know what the ingredients are, we can tell that there may be certain health risks with consuming Ripped Muscle X.  While I didn’t get any side effects from it, the fact that it contains unregulated ingredients leads me to question if other guys have gotten adverse effects from it.

One key side effect from creatine is bloating.  Basically the chemical properties of creatine cause it to carry a lot of water in your muscles.  If your muscles don’t absorb it properly, it will leave you feeling bloated until you end up pissing it out.

Also, some guys have been asking me if it contains any illegal or harmful ingredients that may trigger a blood test.  Personally, I really don’t know, because supplement companies like Ripped Muscle X sometimes end up throwing illegal ingredients in them to try and make them work better.

I would say if your an athlete in the NCAA or other major sporting organization that you refrain from taking it.  It’s not worth the risk.

Ripped Muscle X Pros and Cons

Considering the pros and cons is a good way to decide if you should spend your time and money on a product, and this one is no exception.

Advantages

• The ingredients we know of are safe and could effectively help get results from a smart muscle building regimen.
• There is a free trial.

Muscle X Disadvantages

• The ingredients are not listed.
• There are no REAL Ripped Muscle X reviews from customers, only from scammy sales sites
• The free trial offer is tricky as we will explain below.
• Likely a scam.
• Unknown if the ingredients could trigger a blood test.
• Does not ship to the UK, Canada, or Australia

3 BIG Reasons You Shouldn’t Buy It

1. There’s TONS of unfavorable reviews.
2. They use DECEPTIVE advertising to get you to buy it.
3. I personally did not experience any favorable results with it whatsoever.

Where to Buy

At the time that I originally wrote this review, the only way to purchase Ripped Muscle X is through their free trial offer (which is what everyone was complaining about).

The way the free trial worked was like this…you order through their website and pay only shipping for a 1 month supply.  After 14 days from your order date, if you do nothing, you will be charged $87.63 for your “free” bottle.

After that, they will send you a new bottle each month, and charge your credit card a monthly $87.63. You can see a screenshot below:

So, the free bottle isn’t really free after all.

Not only that, but they only give you 14 days to try it when the website indicates that it takes 3 months to see real results.

HOWEVER, since I posted this it now appears that they are selling Ripped Muscle X WITHOUT requiring you to sign up for a trial of it.  It’s still RIDICULOUSLY expensive though, coming in at $89.99 for a single bottle.

This includes free shipping, but it still places it as one of the most expensive pre workout supplements (if that’s what it is) that I’ve ever seen.

I also searched through the shelves of GNC, Walmart, Walgreens, and a few other stores and none of them seem to carry it.

Conclusions

There are lots of supplements that encourage lean muscle growth and maintenance, help provide energy and stamina for workouts, and increase your body’s fat burning capacity.  Many of them are made by reputable manufacturers who’ve built reputations for delivering what they promise.

Based on my own personal review and research, I don’t think Ripped Muscle X can be considered legit.  Ripped Muscle X is their only product and the “free trial” is the only way to order it.  They don’t list their ingredients, and their product is expensive, not to mention all of the bogus claims you see on all those blogs I told you about.

Stay away from it, you’ll thank me later.
