Description
InnovaPharm NovaBurn 2.0
NovaBurn 2.0 is a capsule fat burner built almost entirely on patented, trademarked ingredients — six of them — rather than generic extracts. That is unusual in this category and it is the main reason to consider it.
This is the stimulant version and it contains 300mg of caffeine per serving. That is a full dose, equivalent to a strong pre-workout. Plan your day around it.
What is in a serving
- Sinetrol XPUR, 900mg — a patented blend of citrus polyphenols from pomelo, grapefruit, guarana and sweet and blood orange, studied in relation to lipolysis, the breakdown of stored fat
- Natural caffeine, 300mg — the energy and appetite-blunting component
- InnoSlim, 250mg — Panax notoginseng and astragalus extracts, studied around glucose metabolism and AMPK activation
- Capsimax, 50mg — cayenne pepper extract standardised to 2% capsaicinoids, in a coated form that avoids the burning sensation raw capsaicin causes
- CaloriBurn GP — grains of paradise standardised to 12.5% 6-paradol
- Theobromine — the mild stimulant found in cocoa, with a gentler and longer curve than caffeine
- Synephrine — a bitter orange alkaloid
- AstraGin and BioPerine — absorption enhancers for the rest
Two ingredients that work on brown fat
Both Capsimax and CaloriBurn GP target brown adipose tissue. Most body fat is white adipose tissue, which stores energy; brown adipose tissue burns energy to produce heat. Adults retain small deposits, mostly around the neck and upper back.
Capsaicinoids from cayenne and 6-paradol from grains of paradise both appear to activate it. That is the same mechanism explained on the Alpha Lion Burn page, and it is why people notice warmth or sweating on these products.
Capsimax matters as a form: raw capsaicin at an effective dose is unpleasant to swallow, and the coating is what allows a meaningful amount without the burn.
Honest note: the research on both is promising rather than settled, and the measured effects on energy expenditure in published work are modest.
⚠ Three things to know before you take it
300mg of caffeine is not mild. That is most of the 400mg the FDA cites as a daily ceiling for healthy adults, before any coffee. Do not stack this with a pre-workout without adding the numbers up first.
Synephrine plus caffeine. Synephrine is a bitter orange alkaloid with structural similarity to ephedrine. Taken alongside caffeine it can raise heart rate and blood pressure more than either alone. If you have any cardiovascular concern, this combination is a conversation with your doctor. It is also on WADA's monitoring programme, so this is not for tested athletes.
Sinetrol contains grapefruit extract. Grapefruit compounds inhibit the CYP3A4 enzyme system, which metabolises a very wide range of prescription medications. If you take anything prescribed — and particularly if you have ever been told to avoid grapefruit — check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this.

How to take it
- Start with one capsule, not the full serving. Assess tolerance before taking three.
- Morning or early afternoon. Caffeine's half-life is five to six hours, so 300mg at 3pm leaves around 150mg at 9pm.
- Not with other caffeine. No pre-workout, no energy drink, and count your coffee.
- With food if it sits uneasily. Capsaicin can be uncomfortable fasted for some people.
- Only while in a deficit. Outside one, there is nothing for it to support.
- Cycle it. Stimulant tolerance builds. Most people run a fat burner for four to eight weeks and take time off.
Who this is for
- Experienced stimulant users already in a caloric deficit
- People who want appetite blunting more than anything else — that is what 300mg of caffeine reliably does
- Anyone who wants patented, studied ingredients rather than generic extracts
- People not taking a pre-workout, since this replaces it in your caffeine budget
Who this is not for
Not for tested athletes. Synephrine is on WADA's monitoring programme.
Not for anyone with cardiovascular concerns, given the synephrine and caffeine combination.
Not for anyone on prescription medication, without checking the grapefruit and CYP3A4 interaction with a pharmacist.
Not for anyone caffeine sensitive, or who also takes a pre-workout. Ask us about the stim-free version instead, which uses enXtra and acetyl L-carnitine in place of the caffeine.
And the honest one: no fat burner creates a caloric deficit. What 300mg of caffeine reliably does is blunt appetite and make dieting feel more manageable, which is genuinely useful. The thermogenic ingredients contribute at the margins. If your diet is not in order, fix that first and we will help you for free.
Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing.
Stack it with: nothing containing caffeine. A protein that keeps you full will do more for a deficit than a second fat burner.
Frequently asked questions
How much caffeine is in NovaBurn 2.0?
300mg per serving in the stim version — a full dose, equivalent to a strong pre-workout. The stim-free version contains none, using enXtra instead.
Can I take it with a pre-workout?
Not without adding up the caffeine. 300mg plus a 350mg pre-workout is well past what most people should take in a day.
What is Sinetrol XPUR?
A patented blend of citrus polyphenols from pomelo, grapefruit, guarana and orange, studied in relation to fat breakdown. Note that it contains grapefruit, which interacts with many prescription medications.
What does Capsimax do?
It is a coated cayenne extract standardised to capsaicinoids, which appear to activate brown adipose tissue — fat that burns energy as heat. The coating allows an effective dose without the burning sensation.
Is it safe for tested athletes?
No. It contains synephrine, which is on WADA's monitoring programme.
Can I take it if I am on medication?
Check with your doctor or pharmacist. The grapefruit extract in Sinetrol inhibits CYP3A4, which metabolises a wide range of prescription drugs.
Should I cycle it?
Yes. Stimulant tolerance builds, and most people run a fat burner for four to eight weeks then take time off.
Will it make me lose fat on its own?
No. It supports a caloric deficit and the caffeine blunts appetite, which makes dieting easier. The deficit is what produces the result.
