Brutal Force has developed CCUT to give you similar results to Clenbuterol with the focus on cutting, increasing performance by boosting endurance and energy, and preserving lean muscle, but without the side effects that come with it, or the need for a prescription or black market purchase.
I wanted to give CCUT a try as part of the Brutal Force stack. Would this legal alternative stack up against the powerful steroids that I’m used to using? Read on to find out what I discovered.
CCUT works to burn fat by increasing the metabolism through thermogenesis which then encourages the using of stored fat as energy. This happens without the loss of muscle that can so often occur when you’re on a calorie restricted diet during a cutting phase.
CCUT also enhances physical performance by increasing oxygen flow and improving cardiovascular function. Ultimately this helps you to workout more intensively and for longer, so fat gets burned faster.
If you decide to try CCUT I recommend buying it here.
CCUT vs Clenbuterol
It could be easy to confuse these two very similarly named products, but there are vast differences between them which I will outline below. Although Clenbuterol is not actually a steroid it is highly prized by some anabolic steroid users for its powerful fat burning capabilities.
Clenbuterol is a stimulant and a prescription bronchodilator medication used for treating asthma patients. CCUT on the other hand is the legal and natural alternative to Clenbuterol made by Brutal Force that aims to provide the same results without the side effects.
Benefits (Effects)
The prescription drug Clenbuterol is valued for use during fat loss, cutting and pre-contest cycles because of its superior ability to stimulate the process of fat burning. It’s key process that interests athletes is the way it affects the metabolism by increasing body temperature – a process known as thermogenesis.
The cells themselves have a slight increase in heat and this in turn leads to a speeding up of the metabolism and as a result: more efficient fat burning.
These are the benefits and effects that CCUT is designed to mimic and it successfully does this by using very selective natural ingredients which have a proven ability to also boost the metabolism naturally – essentially making this product a safer, more natural way of enhancing the metabolism and thus, helping us burn off more fat faster and more efficiently than if we were just to do cardio and eat a calorie restricted diet alone without the use of any substances.
Pros & Cons
Clenbuterol has some powerful properties that make it such a potent fat burning compound. These include acting as a thermogenic that increases metabolism by boosting body heat which leads to a more effective and quickened break down and burning up of body fats.
Clenbuterol also acts as an appetite suppressant so you are less likely to stray from the calorie controlled diet that you’re on when undertaking a cutting cycle; and we all know that the diet is surely one of the toughest parts of any cutting cycle.
Clenbuterol, as a medical bronchodilator, can also improve cardiovascular performance by getting increased air through those airways.
The cons of Clenbuterol are well worth being aware of just as we are always aware of the risks and downsides of anabolic steroids versus their benefits.
Clenbuterol comes with higher risk of stimulant effects of the body simply because it’s a much more powerful stimulant than CCUT; users might experience more severe jitters and shakiness and possible headaches.
Insomnia and muscle cramps are also real concerns when using Clenbuterol and these can have a seriously negative impact on your training performance and motivation to eat well, effectively putting your entire cutting cycle success at risk.
For many people like me, these risks and downsides of Clenbuterol are a main reason to look for a safer alternative, and not only because it’s not a legal substance to purchase or use.
Then there’s the alternative that I thought could never live up to the original, but I was happily surprised to find the benefits of CCUT were much closer to Clenbuterol than I expected as well as the bonus benefits we expect to see with a natural formula.
This includes no toxicity risks to the kidneys or liver, no legal issues and no real concerns about drug testing for those involved in competitions as the ingredients are basic and completely legal.
Of course, all the physical results I achieved and that you can achieve with CCUT are massive benefits: expect better performance, endurance and stamina, improved ratio of muscle to fat as you work through the cycle, excellent fat burning and most importantly – the retaining of your muscle mass so you don’t go into a catabolic state.
What about any cons or downsides of CCUT? As I expected, it was never going to be as potent as a prescription medication like Clenbuterol. But that also means the side effects aren’t as potent, despite the fact I could get very satisfactory results with this legal alternative.
It’s therefore difficult to pinpoint any true downsides of CCUT other than for people who have unrealistic expectations and those who are very sensitive to caffeine as the formula contains the equivalent of one cup of coffee of caffeine in each dose.
While not a con or downside for those who are familiar with how cutting phases and fat loss really works, it’s always worth noting that neither Clenbuterol or CCUT are magic bullets for losing fat and obtaining a truly lean, cut and ripped body.
Without a proper diet and serious training regime they will do little, but with the right physical program both of these products will make your results much more efficient and effective.
Typical Results at the End of the Cycle
A high quality and successful cutting cycle is always going to heavily depend on your diet. Many people find it too difficult to stick with a very restrictive diet, but if you can get through it then both of these products are going to deliver exceptional results.
What I love about CCUT though, especially as part of the Brutal Force Stack (DBULK, SBULK, TBULK and ABULK) as I used it, is that I can get those results without any negative effects. I was not suffering muscle cramps or headaches that would have put my training and results behind. This alone can make up for the slightly less powerful effect of CCUT compared to Clenbuterol.
Typical results at then end of the cycle for either of these products will, if you’ve stuck to your diet and training properly, include substantial and noticeable loss of excess fat (depending on how much you had to lose), including fat that was previously very difficult to move.
This will allow the muscle definition to become a more dominant feature of your body, with an obvious toned, defined and lean look compared with the start of the cycle (taking before and after photos throughout the cycle makes it easy to track your progress and results).
You should also find that you’re not storing fat like you previously might have, because the metabolism is now ramped up and even working to burn fat while you rest.
Side Effects
As a powerful stimulant, Clenbuterol comes with side effects we would expect: everything from jitters, increased heart rate and headaches and even increased blood pressure.
Even more serious are the effects on the cardiovascular system which in severe cases can lead to restriction of the arteries leading to the heart, resulting in heart failure. Athletes who use higher doses of Clenbuterol are at most risk.
The alternative CCUT does not come with these risk factors.
Due to the small amount of caffeine contained in CCUT in the form of guarana extract, some caffeine sensitive people might experience some mild short term effects related to this.
However it is considered that the vast majority of users will not experience any side effects and this legal alternative certainly doesn’t present the serious risk of cardiovascular complications or heart failure in the way that Clenbuterol does.
How Much Does a Cycle Cost?
The total cost of using Clenbuterol in a cycle will greatly depend on your choice of cycle. Unlike most anabolic steroids, Clenbuterol cycles can vary from taking the drug just four days a week, to using it continuously in a cycle but increasing the dose as you go.
The cycle used will obviously determine how much Clenbuterol is required and what it will cost. In any case, Clenbuterol is one of the cheapest compounds an anabolic steroid user can invest in and it’s possible to get 50 tablets for as little as $30.
Clen is also available as a liquid and prices will vary depending which research company you have access to. As we can see, predicting the cost of a Clen cycle is difficult and greatly depends on where you are, what suppliers you have access to and the length, format and dosage of your cycle.
What I liked about the alternative CCUT is the certainty of the cost of a cycle. I can get 3 bottles for under $110 (that’s two bottles with one free) and each bottle lasts one month.
Or I can save more by using it in the Brutal Force Stack for 12 weeks, which is what I did. Here you receive CCUT as part of the stack, with the three month supply of all four products costing under $330. That’s the entire cost of my cycle done with no added extras or nasty surprises to increase the cost.
CCUT Ingredients
CCUT contains all legal, all natural ingredients. All up there’s just four ingredients in the formula that work together to fuel your training.
- Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) (63mg) – This vitamin assists in the process of fat being converted to energy which is key when you want to burn off stored fat as we do when cutting to achieved that really toned and ripped physique. Also called Niacin, B3 can also improve cholesterol balance between the bad and good cholesterol plus helping with brain function which is more important than you might consider when it comes to sticking out a tough and disciplined cutting phase.
- Garcinia Cambogia (50% Hydroxycitric Acid) (450mg) – The world famous fat burning ingredient which contains the key compound hydroxycitric acid that has shown to be highly effective against obesity and reduction in body fat. Garcinia is possibly the most important fat busting ingredient in CCUT, especially as we can benefit from not only its power alone, as is the case with many of the weight loss supplements it it used in, but also have its fat burning actions combined with the other active ingredients.
- Bitter Orange Extract (Citrus aurantium – 6% Synephrine) (450mg) – Bitter orange is an extract taken from the citrus tree also known as Seville orange. It is another common ingredient in commercial weight loss products, mainly because of one compound called synephrine which has shown to act similarly (but not as potently) as ephedra which is a banned weight loss ingredient. Synephrine has shown to be effective at fat loss and works well when combined with caffeine, as it is in CCUT.
- Guarana Extract (22% Caffeine) (Paullinia sorbilis) (342mg) – Noted as containing an amount of caffeine that is equal to one cup of coffee, guarana boosts energy in both the mind and body. It helps you focus, become motivated and also have some positive effect on the metabolism.
- Griffonia Extract (75mg) – It’s not just caffeine in guarana that makes it useful though, as there are other natural stimulants contained in it like griffonia which is just as, or if not more effective at providing useful mental and physical stimulation without being so powerful that they cause severe jitters or headaches.
Common Q&A Related to CCUT
Will CCUT show up in a drug test?
No, there are no illegal or banned ingredients contained in CCUT so unless your drug test also includes caffeine as a banned substance (WADA has stated that regular levels of caffeine are not an issue), then CCUT is not going to cause you any legal problems when it comes to drug testing.
Is CCUT a steroid?
No, this is a natural and legal alternative to a prescription medication called Clenbuterol which itself is not an actual steroid either, but rather is a bronchodilator and breathing decongestant.
Even though it is not a steroid, Clenbuterol does have some similar effects as some steroids like increasing muscle mass and this is one reason it is a prohibited substance.
Will CCUT cause any side effects?
This legal alternative is not known or expected to cause any side effects. I experienced no adverse effects at all while using it in the stack, and Brutal Force states that it is a side effect free formula. Only those who are very sensitive to small amounts of caffeine might notice mild side effects, but this is considered to be rare.
How long will it take to see results with CCUT?
This will greatly depend on how hard you work in the gym and how disciplined your cutting diet is, but noticeable results within 2-4 weeks are more than possible with CCUT.
Will I lose my gains if I stop using CCUT?
As long as you maintain your training and a decent diet and don’t take up a high calorie, high fat diet with no training then you can expect to maintain all or most gains and fat loss that you achieved when using CCUT.
How much does CCUT cost?
There are two main ways to purchase CCUT from Brutal Force: on its own as an individual product or as I recommend as part of the Brutal Force Stack the company has put together with four of its best products for cutting and fat loss. This stack costs under $165 per monthly supply, or you can buy 2 and get 1 free.
CCUT itself costs $55 per bottle that lasts one month, or you can also take advantage of the buy 2 and get 1 free offer if you plan to do a 12 week cycle like I did.
In addition to knowing my upfront cost of a CCUT cycle as I mentioned earlier, I also didn’t have to worry about any extra costs for shipping because Brutal Force ships out all their products for free around the world.
If you decide to try CCUT I recommend buying it here.
