What is Scitec Nutrition Turbo Ripper?
Scitec Nutrition Turbo Ripper is a multi-ingredient stimulant formula in capsule form, from Scitec’s weight-control (thermogenics) range. Scitec presents it as powerful and lasting stimulation, with high doses of caffeine, acetyl L-carnitine and green tea.
Per daily dose of 4 capsules, it provides: acetyl L-carnitine (1486mg, providing 1000mg of L-carnitine), L-tyrosine (1000mg), caffeine (200mg, of which 187mg from anhydrous caffeine and 13mg from the green tea extract), green tea leaf extract (181mg, providing 27mg of EGCG) and cayenne pepper extract (50mg). Each capsule therefore contains about 371mg of acetyl L-carnitine, 250mg of tyrosine, 50mg of caffeine, 45mg of green tea extract and 12.5mg of cayenne pepper extract. One 100-capsule pack provides 25 servings.
It is a new formula, without titanium dioxide (TiO2). The capsule shell is made of gelatin, with a shellac glazing and iron oxide colour.
What is it used for?
Turbo Ripper is used by adults as a stimulating formula, for example around training or during cutting phases, when people want a higher level of alertness and energy. Scitec’s idea is to bring several well-known ingredients together at meaningful doses in a single product, so that there is no need to add them separately.
Caffeine (200mg per daily dose) contributes to an increase in alertness and to improved concentration (EU-authorised claims, applicable from 75mg per serving). Acetyl L-carnitine is a more complex form of carnitine, and Scitec says that it makes taking additional carnitine unnecessary. L-tyrosine is the precursor of many important hormones and neurotransmitters. Green tea extract is rich in catechins, and cayenne pepper extract completes the formula.
⚠️ Contains caffeine and green tea extract.

⚡ 200mg of caffeine per daily dose
Caffeine contributes to an increase in alertness and to improved concentration (EU-authorised claims). Each 2-capsule dose provides 100mg, which is above the 75mg level for the claims, and the daily dose of 4 capsules provides 200mg.
💊 1486mg of acetyl L-carnitine — 1000mg of L-carnitine
The daily dose provides 1486mg of acetyl L-carnitine, which delivers 1000mg of L-carnitine. According to Scitec, this means you do not need to take additional carnitine.
🧪 1000mg of L-tyrosine
Tyrosine is the precursor of many important hormones and neurotransmitters, and it is a popular ingredient in energy products.
🍵 Green tea extract with 27mg of EGCG, plus cayenne pepper
The daily dose provides 181mg of green tea leaf extract, rich in catechins, with 27mg of EGCG, and 50mg of cayenne pepper extract.
🌿 New formula, no titanium dioxide
Scitec has updated the formula to remove titanium dioxide (TiO2) from the capsule composition.
🎯 Goal guide
🏋️ Training days: 2 capsules with a meal before the session and 2 with a later meal, not in the evening.
🔥 Cutting phases: 4 capsules a day, spread over two meals, alongside a controlled diet and regular training.
🧠 Demanding days: 4 capsules a day with meals, as a stimulating routine, for adults who tolerate caffeine well.
Serving suggestion
Take 2 capsules twice a day (4 capsules per day) with a glass of water, during meals. Do not take on an empty stomach. Do not use before bedtime. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Best times to enjoy it
🌅 First dose: 2 capsules with breakfast or a morning meal
Taking the capsules during a meal is required, because they should not be taken on an empty stomach.
☀️ Second dose: 2 capsules with lunch or an early-afternoon meal
The second dose goes with another meal, early enough in the day not to affect sleep.
🚫 Never in the evening
Scitec’s label says not to use it before bedtime. Caffeine stays in the body for 5 to 6 hours, so avoid the evening meal.
