Our Oxyshred Research
How we tested
We gave Oxyshred a test over a period of 30 days whilst continuing our usual training regime: a near-even split of training at the gym, attending F45 classes, and surfing.
We took the product before training on an empty stomach, prior to ingesting any other supplements like AG1 or coffee.
The Review
OxyShred tends to be on the pricier side compared to similar supplements on the market — you can view our chosen alternatives below — coming in at nearly $80 AUD per tub.
Some users find it challenging to justify the cost, especially if they don’t achieve their desired results, but that’s why we wanted to give OxyShred a try to see if this supplement is worth your hard-earned dollars…
How Does OxyShred Taste?
In short: OxyShred tastes great.
It’s definitely on the sweet side of things which can sometimes be a little challenging first thing in the morning. The brand recommends you don’t eat anything, including protein shakes, within 30 minutes of taking OxyShred.
Honestly, we agree: any food consumed right after OxyShred isn’t going to taste as good as it usually does, likely overwhelmed by OxyShred’s sweetness. Even taking AG1 is a challenge after the sweetness of Oxyshred.
Thankfully if you don’t like Watermelon OxyShred or Mango Oxyshred, there are more than enough flavours to keep you happy…
The full range of flavours also includes Mandarin, Blackberry, Passionfruit, Guava, Strawberry, Pink Grapefruit, Gummy Snake, Wild Melon, Rasberry and Peach Candy. There’s a flavour for everyone.
Easy To Mix
I’ve been taking Oxyshred prior to my daily F45 workouts. I don’t discriminate whether it’s cardio or resistance, I just take the potion every day. It’s super important to make OxyShred part of your daily routine otherwise you may forget to take it and find yourself regretting wasted money…
I mix it in my AG1 container. It’s easier than trying to stir it into water. The brand’s directions suggest adding one measuring spoon (provided) of OxyShred to 250ml of water. However, I usually opt for a little less water — this creates a thicker but less voluminous drink — then punch it down 10-15 minutes before training.
How Does Oxyshred Make You Feel?
Unlike most pre-workout drinks, Oxyshred doesn’t leave you buzzing too hard. There are none of those unwanted bodily tingles or face twitching that we’ve come to expect for harder-hitting pre-workout powders out there, making OxyShred a much more approachable and accessible option for people who haven’t delved into the world of pre-workout before…
Make no mistake, however: OxyShred gets the job done. You’ll feel energised and enthusiastic within 10 to 20 minutes after consumption. The effects hang around just long enough to get your workout in, which for most people is 45 to 60 minutes.
How Long Does OxyShred’s Buzz Last?
In total, I found the buzz lasts a good hour, sometimes a little longer longer.
As previously mentioned it’s not too hectic a buzz; more of a ‘light zing’. This is why I’ve been taking every morning regardless of my training routine. Sometimes I’ll take it before going for a surf or even when it’s a rest day, just to get me up and out.

What To Be Careful Of When Trying OxyShred
A common issue in online reviews is that some users build up a tolerance to OxyShred over time. This means that people need to increase their dosage to maintain the same effects, which can quickly become expensive and — we would assume — not great for your health.
Strangely, I have found Oxyshred to be a little addictive myself. I was indifferent to it in the beginning but after 2 weeks began to feel strange if I didn’t take it every day…
However, I’m convinced that this is something of a placebo effect and more a symptom of my personality than the product itself.
Oxyshred
– Not for the faint-hearted, Oxyshred Hardcore has been formulated using scientifically researched ingredients shown to promote razor sharp focus, off-chart performance and dialed-up consistent energy to get you moving and shredding.
OxyShred definitely gave us the advertised energy boost and appetite suppression, which can be helpful in a weight loss journey or getting that summer shred on.
However, its effectiveness in promoting weight loss appears to vary widely from person to person. You can’t just take this and expect to get ripped. You need to ensure you have a balanced diet to complement your workouts and weight goals.
Some people think it’s expensive and, in comparison to some others, it is. However, it’s worth trying for 90 days to complement all the hard work you’re doing in the gym and see if it helps further your results.
