Pros & Cons

What We Like

  • Combines fat burning with cognitive enhancement
  • Moderate caffeine dose (160mg — about 1.5 cups of coffee)
  • Capsimax is a clinically studied cayenne extract
  • Green tea EGCG has solid research for fat oxidation
  • Nootropic ingredients support focus during dieting
  • Established brand with 10+ year track record

What Could Be Better

  • Fat burners have modest effects at best (no magic pill)
  • Contains caffeine — may cause jitters or sleep issues
  • Proprietary blend for some ingredients
  • Dandelion root is mainly a diuretic (temporary water weight loss)
  • Not suitable for caffeine-sensitive individuals
  • Results require caloric deficit regardless

Who Is This For?

Best For

  • Those already in a caloric deficit wanting an edge
  • People who want energy + focus while dieting
  • Moderate caffeine tolerance individuals
  • Those who respond well to thermogenics

Not Ideal For

  • Anyone expecting significant fat loss from a pill alone
  • Caffeine-sensitive individuals
  • Those with heart conditions or high blood pressure
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Our Verdict

6.8/10 — Average

SuperHD is one of the more sensible fat burners on the market. The combination of green tea EGCG, moderate caffeine, and cayenne extract has actual research support for modest metabolic enhancement. The nootropic additions are a nice touch for diet-related brain fog. But let's be clear: no fat burner replaces a caloric deficit and exercise. Think of it as a 5-10% boost, not a solution.
