AVAILABLE FRIDAY 03.28 | 10AM EST

212º Thermo is the first powered-based thermogenic Axe & Sledge launched in January 2023. Since 212º Thermo was introduced to the lineup, it quickly became one of our most popular weight loss supplements. Customers and retailers raved about its intensity, effectiveness, and benefits!

Although the original 212º Thermo has received positive reviews, we’re excited to announce that we gathered customers’ feedback and reformulated it to make it even better!

212º Thermo Changes and Upgrades

Here’s an overview of some of the improvements we made to 212º Thermo!

Improved Taste

The taste was one of the big things we wanted to improve for the new formula. Arguably, the biggest challenge with powdered-based thermogenics is making them taste as good as an amino acid or pre-workout. Thermogenics usually contain ingredients with a strong aftertaste, especially on the spicy side of things.

To address this, we swapped out the grains of paradise for MitoBurn® L-B-Aminoisobutyric Acid (BAIBA) from NNB Nutrition. MitoBurn® is an equally effective alternative to grains of paradise that offers numerous benefits, specifically around supporting fat loss. For instance, BAIBA has been shown to initiate the “browning” of white adipose tissue. Brown adipose tissue has been shown to increase energy expenditure, improve insulin sensitivity, and help regulate weight management.

Cutting Edge Ingredients


In addition to MitoBurn®, we added 2.5 grams of betaine anhydrous to 212º Thermo. Betaine anhydrous is usually present in pre-workouts thanks to its ability to increase athletic performance, including muscular strength and endurance. However, evidence suggests betaine anhydrous is beneficial for fat loss. Not only does it help with muscle preservation during a fat loss phase, supports a healthy metabolic rate, and promotes fatty acid oxidation while exercising.

Sweat while training, NOT AT THE OFFICE!

Previously, 212º Thermo was known for making users sweat excessively, mainly due to its GBB content. Some found it less desirable to sweat excessively after their workout...like in their car, driving to work! With that being said, 212º Thermo has several ingredients that support thermogenesis and sweating your balls off, without making you sweat after the session.

Long-Lasting Energy

The last major change we made based on users’ feedback was lowering the caffeine slightly and changing the caffeine sources to yield longer-lasting energy. 212º Thermo now contains about ~200 milligrams of caffeine from caffeine anhydrous and zümXR® extended-release caffeine. This combination is great for providing sustained energy that still hits hard without the jitters or crash.

New Flavors & Look


Lastly, you’ll notice that 212º Thermo is sporting a fresh new look and comes in two new refreshing and delicious flavors – Juicy Nectar and Citrus Grapefruit!

Now that you know all of the changes and upgrades we made to 212º Thermo, let’s do a deep dive into the formula!

212º Thermo Supplement Facts Panel Breakdown


Every scoop of 212º Thermo contains the following ingredients:

Betaine Anhydrous - 2.5 Grams

Betaine anhydrous, also known as trimethylglycine, is a naturally occurring compound derived from the amino acid glycine. It’s most commonly found in beets, spinach, and whole grains.

Supplementing with betaine anhydrous may offer numerous benefits including:

  1. Enhanced Strength and Power: Some studies suggest that betaine anhydrous supplementation can improve muscle strength and power during high-intensity exercise.

  2. Better Endurance: Betaine anhydrous may improve endurance, allowing individuals to exercise for longer durations before reaching fatigue.

  3. Increased Muscle Mass: By supporting strength training performance, betaine anhydrous can contribute to better muscle development over time.

  4. Supports Fat Loss: Betaine anhydrous may help improve fat oxidation, the process of burning fat for fuel, particularly during exercise. Some studies have found that it could aid in reducing body fat or improve body composition, though more research is needed to confirm its effects on fat loss.

  5. Enhanced Hydration and Cellular Health: Betaine anhydrous has osmotic properties, meaning it helps cells retain water. This is beneficial for muscle hydration during exercise, which may enhance performance and prevent muscle fatigue. Better hydration can improve your ability to work out harder and recover faster.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine - 1 Gram

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is a naturally occurring compound derived from L-carnitine, an amino acid-like substance in the body. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by helping transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. The “acetyl” component refers to an added acetyl group, which allows ALCAR to cross the blood-brain barrier more easily than L-carnitine, giving it additional cognitive benefits.

Here are some of the benefits you may experience from supplementing with acetyl-L-carnitine:

  1. Cognitive Enhancement and Brain Health: ALCAR is often used as a nootropic, or cognitive enhancer, due to its potential to improve memory, mental clarity, and focus. It is believed to enhance the efficiency of mitochondria in brain cells, which can support brain function and energy production.

  2. Mood Support: There is evidence to suggest that ALCAR may improve overall mood by having a positive impact on the dopamine and serotonin systems which are related to feelings of well-being and motivation.

  3. Fat Loss and Weight Management: ALCAR supports the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are burned for energy. This can help increase fat burning, particularly during exercise, which might support weight loss or body composition goals.

  4. Increased Exercise Performance: By enhancing mitochondrial function and increasing energy production, ALCAR may improve exercise performance, particularly during aerobic activities like running or cycling. This could result in more calories burned, potentially contributing to weight loss over time.

  5. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Some research suggests that ALCAR may help improve insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for managing blood sugar levels.

L-Tyrosine - 1 Gram

L-tyrosine is an amino acid that plays a critical role in producing important neurotransmitters in the brain such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (adrenaline). These neurotransmitters are involved in mood regulation, focus, and the body’s response to stress.

L-tyrosine is considered a nonessential amino acid, meaning the body can synthesize it from another amino acid called phenylalanine. However, supplementing with L-tyrosine can be beneficial, especially during times of stress or when you need a mental or physical boost.

Some of the benefits you may experience when supplementing with L-tyrosine include:

  1. Improved Mental Performance Under Stress: Research suggests that it may help improve focus, attention, and memory when you're under physical or mental stress by supporting the production of stress-related neurotransmitters.

  2. Support for Mood and Mental Health: By boosting dopamine and norepinephrine levels, L-tyrosine may enhance motivation, energy, and general drive, which could help overcome periods of low energy or productivity.

  3. Improved Physical Performance: L-tyrosine may have benefits for physical performance, particularly in conditions of high stress. Some studies suggest that L-tyrosine supplementation could help reduce fatigue during prolonged exercise by improving the body's ability to manage stress and maintain physical energy.

  4. Supports Thyroid Health: Adequate levels of tyrosine are necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones which regulate metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development. This makes L-tyrosine important for maintaining optimal thyroid function.

L-Carnitine L-Tartrate - 1 Gram

L-carnitine L-tartrate (LCLT) is a form of L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative that plays a crucial role in the body's energy production. The "L-tartrate" part refers to the addition of tartrate, a compound derived from tartaric acid, which is included to improve the absorption and bioavailability of L-carnitine.

L-carnitine L-tartrate is commonly used in dietary supplements, particularly those aimed at enhancing exercise performance, supporting fat metabolism, and improving recovery. L-carnitine, in general, helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cells. In the mitochondria, fatty acids are burned for energy. As a result, L-carnitine plays a key role in fat metabolism and energy production.

The benefits of supplementing with L-carnitine L-tartrate may include:

  1. Improved Exercise Performance: L-carnitine L-tartrate has been shown to improve endurance, particularly in aerobic exercise. By increasing fat utilization during exercise, L-carnitine may allow athletes to exercise for longer durations and reduce the reliance on glycogen, the stored form of carbohydrate in muscles; thus, delaying fatigue.

  2. Faster Recovery After Exercise: L-carnitine L-tartrate is especially known for its ability to speed up recovery after strenuous exercise. By promoting the efficient use of fatty acids for energy and reducing muscle damage, L-carnitine L-tartrate can help lower postexercise fatigue and improve recovery time, allowing individuals to train harder and more frequently.

  3. Fat Loss and Improved Body Composition: By increasing the body's ability to oxidize (burn) fat, L-carnitine L-tartrate may help improve overall metabolism and promote a leaner physique. It may also contribute to maintaining energy levels during calorie deficits, as in the weight loss phases.

  4. Improved Mental Clarity and Focus: Since L-carnitine plays a role in energy production within cells, it may also help enhance brain function by improving mitochondrial efficiency. This could potentially contribute to improved focus, memory, and mental clarity, particularly when you're experiencing fatigue or stress.

InnoSlim® - 250 Milligrams

InnoSlim® is a branded, patented natural supplement ingredient made from a blend of plant extracts developed by NuLiv Science. Specifically, it is a combination of Panax notoginseng, a type of ginseng, and Astragalus membranaceus, a herb used in traditional medicine. This combination is known for its potential to improve metabolism, support fat loss, and enhance overall wellness.

The primary benefits of InnoSlim® may include:

  1. Supports Fat Loss: One of the primary benefits of InnoSlim® is its potential to support fat burning. The combination of P. notoginseng and A. membranaceus is believed to enhance fat metabolism by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing fat accumulation, and promoting the breakdown of stored fat. It may increase the rate at which the body burns fat for energy, particularly when combined with a balanced diet and exercise regimen.

  2. Regulation of Lipid Metabolism: InnoSlim® has been shown to help regulate lipid metabolism by improving the way the body processes fat and reducing the accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. This can contribute to a leaner physique and better overall body composition.

  3. Improves Insulin Sensitivity: InnoSlim® has been studied for its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for healthy blood sugar management. Improved insulin sensitivity means that the body is better able to process carbohydrates and fats, reducing the risk of fat storage and promoting a healthier metabolic state.

  4. Boosts Energy and Endurance: InnoSlim® may help increase energy levels by supporting better fat metabolism and overall metabolic function. By enhancing the body’s ability to convert fat into energy, it can provide more sustained energy throughout the day.

  6. Helps Regulate Appetite: InnoSlim® may help regulate appetite and reduce cravings by improving blood sugar and insulin sensitivity. When blood sugar levels are stable, it can help prevent sudden spikes and crashes in energy, which often lead to cravings for sugary or high-calorie foods. This can help with portion control and overall caloric intake, contributing to weight management.

MitoBurn® - 250 Milligrams

MitoBurn®, also known as L-BAIBA, is an amino acid metabolite of L-valine released during exercise. Increased levels of L-BAIBA are associated with many of the benefits that come from exercise. For example, L-BAIBA may help regulate metabolism, increase energy expenditure, manage fuel selection, and more.

Some of the benefits of MitoBurn® may offer:

  1. Supports Fat Loss and Improved Body Composition: MitoBurn® helps promote fat burning by enhancing mitochondrial function, which is essential for energy production and metabolism. Mitochondria play a key role in breaking down fats to generate energy, and improving their function can lead to increased fat oxidation. This can help with fat loss, particularly when combined with a balanced diet and exercise routine.

  2. Boosts Energy Levels: MitoBurn® enhances the efficiency of mitochondrial function which in turn increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary energy source. This leads to increased energy levels which can be helpful for physical activities and improving exercise performance. By promoting fat oxidation, MitoBurn® may also help maintain sustained energy levels throughout the day, as the body uses fat as an energy source during prolonged or low intensity activities.

  3. Enhances Metabolism: By stimulating mitochondrial activity and increasing the efficiency of fat metabolism, MitoBurn® helps to boost metabolism. A faster metabolism allows more calories to be burned throughout the day even at rest.

  4. Improves Exercise Performance: The increased mitochondrial activity and fat utilization offered by MitoBurn® can help enhance exercise performance, particularly during aerobic activities like running, cycling, or swimming. This could also help improve performance during prolonged training sessions by reducing fatigue.

  5. Helps Regulate Blood Sugar and Insulin Sensitivity: There is some evidence to suggest that MitoBurn® may have a positive effect on insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation. By promoting better fat metabolism and improving overall metabolic health, it may help the body process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Caffeine - ~200 Milligrams (from Caffeine Anhydrous and zümXR® Extended Release Caffeine)

As mentioned, 212º Thermo now uses two forms of caffeine for hard-hitting and long-lasting energy without the crash or jitters!

Caffeine is a stimulant commonly found in coffee, tea, energy drinks, and supplements. It is often used to boost energy levels, focus, and physical performance.

Here's how caffeine may contribute to fat loss:

  1. Increased Metabolic Rate: Caffeine can increase the thermogenic process, which means it raises the body’s temperature slightly. This thermogenic process is referred to as thermogenesis in which an increase in body temperature leads to more energy being burned, even at rest.

  2. Increased Energy and Alertness: Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, which can lead to increased energy, focus, and alertness. This boost in energy may lead to increased physical activity, such as more intense or longer workouts, thereby burning more calories and contributing to fat loss.

  3. Improved Exercise Performance: By increasing adrenaline levels, caffeine can enhance exercise performance, allowing you to push harder during workouts. This improvement in exercise intensity can lead to more calories being burned and ultimately more fat loss.

  4. Stimulates Fat Breakdown: Caffeine stimulates the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones that promote the break down of stored fat into fatty acids that can be used for energy.

  5. Improved Fat Oxidation During Exercise: Studies have shown that caffeine can enhance fat oxidation, allowing the body to burn a higher percentage of fat for fuel rather than carbohydrates during moderate-intensity exercises like walking, running, or cycling.

  6. Appetite Suppression: Some studies suggest that caffeine may have mild appetite-suppressing effects, although this is usually short-term. This could help reduce overall food intake, leading to a calorie deficit which is necessary for fat loss.

Theobromine - 100 milligrams

Theobromine is a naturally occurring compound found primarily in cocoa. This compound can also be found in tea, caffeine-containing plants, and kola nuts in smaller amounts. Theobromine is an alkaloid that is chemically similar to caffeine, but it has distinct properties and effects on the body.

The benefits of supplementing with theobromine may include:

  1. Improved Cardiovascular Health: Theobromine acts as a vasodilator, meaning it helps relax the smooth muscles in blood vessels, leading to their dilation (widening). This can help lower blood pressure by allowing blood to flow more easily.

  2. Enhanced Mood and Cognitive Function: Theobromine can have a mild mood-boosting effect. It promotes the release of endorphins, feel-good hormones, and has been linked to improved feelings of well-being.

  3. Fat Burning and Weight Loss Support: Theobromine has been shown to have mild thermogenic properties which means it can slightly increase the body’s calorie-burning rate by stimulating the breakdown of fat for energy. Though not as potent as caffeine in this regard, it can contribute to weight loss efforts when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

  4. Improved Exercise Performance: Theobromine may help improve physical performance by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles during exercise. This can enhance endurance and reduce the perception of fatigue.

  5. Mild Stimulant Effect: While not as strong as caffeine, theobromine's mild stimulant effect can help improve exercise motivation, focus, and stamina during moderate-intensity physical activities.

BioPerine® - 5 milligrams

BioPerine® is a standardized extract of black pepper (Piper nigrum) that contains piperine, the active compound responsible for its potent bioactive properties. It is often used as an ingredient in dietary supplements due to its ability to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of other nutrients and compounds.

BioPerine® works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the liver and intestines that break down and metabolize nutrients, thereby allowing for increased absorption of those nutrients into the bloodstream. This is particularly beneficial for enhancing the effectiveness of certain vitamins, minerals, and herbal compounds, making them more readily available to the body.

The benefits of supplementing with BioPerine® may include:

  1. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: One of the primary benefits of BioPerine® is its ability to enhance the bioavailability of various nutrients and supplements. This means that your body can more efficiently utilize the nutrients you're consuming, making them more effective.

  2. Supports Fat Loss and Weight Management: By improving the absorption of nutrients that support metabolic function, BioPerine® can help improve your metabolism. Some studies have shown that piperine can increase metabolic rate and fat-burning activity in the body, making it potentially beneficial for weight loss and fat management. BioPerine® has been shown to increase thermogenesis, a process that generates heat in the body and burns calories. This thermogenic effect can help increase energy expenditure and fat loss over time, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.

  3. Improves Digestion and Gut Health: BioPerine® may promote healthy digestion by increasing the secretion of gastric juices which help break down food more effectively in the stomach. This can improve nutrient absorption and reduce issues like bloating or constipation. It can also stimulate the production of enzymes in the digestive tract, further enhancing the break down and absorption of nutrients.
