The active ingredient in Cutting Gel is aminophylline -- it is a xanthine derivative, like caffeine. This is not a particularly potent thermogenic in humans. The data showing otherwise is in rats at doses that would kill a human (at this dose it blocks adenosine receptors, which are a negative feedback mechanism for catecholamine induced thermogenesis).

Like caffeine, it IS a pretty good diuretic which accounts for the girth losses in the studies they site as well as in the people who use it.

I have written an article on the subject of topical fat burners -- in its present form, it plugs our product a decent bit so ignore that -- just look at the science (I will have the references added in a couple of days -- I will have a version without the plugs in a week -- it will be appearing in Anabolic Extreme).

I have this backwards. At normal doses it does block the adenosine receptor. It is phosphodiesterase inhibition that only occurs at unrealistic doses.

Still, it does not change the fact that this is quite similar to caffeine, which is not a great fat burner on its own.
