Shred Jym vs. Evlution LeanMode is like a battle between Batman and Superman.
Batman is hard justice, the anti-hero, and does what it takes to get the job done even if there’s a huge risk, as long as the bad guys lose.
Superman, on the other hand, is the generic and practically perfect good guy. He doesn’t want to risk anyone’s even if it meant avoiding the most efficient plan to beat the enemy.
Like Batman, Shred Jym makes use of carefully studied, albeit risky, ingredients in order to burn fat in the most effective way possible. LeanMode performs like Superman as it makes use of a powerful, clean and natural formula to burn fat minus the side effects.
They both achieve the ultimate end goal, but their approach is like day and night… So which one is just better? Let’s find out.

Round 1: Formulas
Shred Jym and Evlution LeanMode are both outstanding at burners in their own right. They’re both packed with highly potent ingredients capable of melting fat like hot knife through butter. Both are without the usual crap we see in supplements with ingredient lists longer than a page in a phone book.
In fact, both are on the verge of cracking our Best 5 Fat Burner Supplements list, and probably will in 2017.
But for now, let’s just analyze how the formulas differ:
Shred Jym is for stim-crazed fanatics
Shred Jym starts out strong with a really heavy dose of Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR), an ingredient known to not just improve metabolism but also enhance gym performance and boost post-workout recovery.
It has L-Tyrosine to function as a nootropic, mainly for alertness and overall energy… but we frown at the form Shred Jym went with. NALT (N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine) is the preferred form of tyrosine for Alpha-Male mental superiority. Still, Shred Jym gave us a fat 500 mg dose of plain L-tyrosine to compensate.
This is where it gets interesting. Shred Jym’s core lies in its four main fat burners, three of which belong to our Best5 Fat Burners list.
Green Tea Extract is offered at premium quality, standardized for EGCG. Then they follow it up with a really good dose of Caffeine that acts both as fat burner and performance enhancer.
Their Cayenne Pepper comes in one hell of a brand under Capsimax® so you know things are going to get hot minus the burning sensation in your belly.
Shred Jym just ends on a high note with possibly one of the most controversial ingredients in recent memory. Synephrine is widely known to get the heartrate really fast and elevate blood pressure specially when combined with caffeine but recent research says it’s really safe. The best part? Shred Jym used Advantra-Z® which tested negative for side effects associated with Synephrine.
All in all, Shred Jym is meant to provide a really hot burn while simultaneously giving you energy and focus for your workouts. And it’s safer than most want you to think.
Evlution LeanMode is more about keeping it clean.
When someone says say stim-free supplements are weaker than their stim-filled counterparts, most would agree. That’s not the case for Evlution LeanMode, though.
Evlution LeanMode proves its point when they included Garcinia Cambogia, Green Coffee Bean, and Green Tea Extract, three ingredients that made it to our Best5 Fat Burners list. All ingredients are also standardized for potency which is a sign of excellent quality for any company that knows their shit.
They also added great support ingredients. CLA is known for triggering thermogenesis, appetite control, and gives your metabolism a nice boost. We’re seeing ALCAR again but this time in a milder dosage to provide more room for the big guns we mentioned.
In conclusion of the first round, both supplements definitely know what their customers want and they’ve done so with not just great ingredients but often in premium forms too.
While both are great at what they do, we have to choose one and this round goes to Shred Jym for designing a formula that not only burns an insane amount of fat but also works to provide you with a little brain and performance boost on the side.
Round 1… Shred Jym Wins.
Round 2: Dosages
We have to give these two supplements credit for not hiding under the sinful Prop Blend labeling scheme. Even an awful company deserves some respect for not hiding dosages from their customers.
Moving on, both Shred Jym and Evlution LeanMode offer great dosages of each of their ingredients and much of it is due to the simple formula design they both possess.
Not only that, their herbs are in their premium forms too and that means a lot when you take good dosage into account.
Despite their sheer awesomeness, one has to give, and Evlution LeanMode loses to Shred Jym once again.
Evlution LeanMode and Shred Jym may have the same number of amazing fat burners but Shred Jym takes the cake for having more GTE goodness, twice as much in fact, of our #1 fat burner.
Round 2… Shred Jym Wins.
Round 3: Ingredient Quality
This is a tough call since both Shred Jym and Evlution LeanMode have mostly premium quality ingredients. Mostly.
Both supplements have the right formula design to fully back up any claims and we’re split right down the middle until Shred Jym took a misstep when it went for L-Tyrosine instead of NALT, the superior form for efficient absorption.
Although Shred Jym made up for it with a good dosage, the fact Evlution LeanMode was more meticulous when it came to ingredient choice revealed a chink in Shred Jym’s armor nonetheless.
It’s a minor setback but enough to get Evlution LeanMode a good technical advantage.
Round 3… Evlution LeanMode Wins.
Round 4: Price
Shred Jym | VS. | Evlution LeanMode | ||
1 Bottle (60-day supply) | $35.46 | 1 Bottle (50-day supply) | $19.99 | |
Price Per Capsule | $0.15 | Price Per Capsule | $0.13 | |
Price Per Serving | $0.59 | Price Per Serving | $0.39 |
Round 4… Evlution LeanMode Wins.
Round 5: JUDGEMENT
The thing about judging two great contenders is you know you win whichever side you choose. Our reviews tell you both are great supplements only they chose to have a different take on what a bonafide fat burner should be.
Going with the scoring we did here, we see a tie at 2-2. Shred Jym won formulation and dosage while Evlution LeanMode became hot stuff when it came to quality of ingredients and long term affordability.
Basing it on pure star rating, Evlution LeanMode won against Shred Jym:
- We’re talking 4.5 (Shred Jym) vs. 4.8 (Evlution LeanMode) out of 5 stars.
That’s a close fight between two powerful fat burners if we ever saw one.
The deal breaker would all boil down to preference: Do you like your fat burners “clean” or with just the right amount of stim to get you going?
Think about it. You choose one over the other then you’ll most likely stick to it for as long as it works. Again, you win either way but how you do it is up to you.
For us, we chose to go with the fat burner that does more than burn fat and despite a little slip on ingredient choice. Shred Jym wins the crown today.
It shreds lots of fat, takes advantage of caffeine and synephrine synergy, and improves gym performance enabling more lifts day in and day out (let’s face it – Batman can beat Superman given enough prep time).
In the Shred Jym vs. Evlution LeanMode fight, the winner by a SPLIT Decision is…
SHRED JYM
alex says
do you think i could stack both? maybe not to full dose of course due to overdose on certain of those ingredient, but perhaps 2 caps of shred and 1 of lean mode?
Best 5 Supplements says
We think you could stack ’em together, yes. The redundant ingredients would be ALCAR and Green Tea Extract, with the tea being standardized for potency across both formulas. Your “2 caps + 1 cap” idea is a good one — take care, proceed with caution and gauge your body’s response to the stack. But really, the advantage of buying a fat-burning stack is that you get everything you need in one bottle. Rather than the expense of 2 fat-burning supplements, we suggest you check out our Top-Ranked Fat-Burner Supplements list — you might find ONE stack that gives you the far-reaching support you seem to be looking for.
