Technical Specs
- Green Tea & Caffeine
The green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via the activation of thermogenesis and fat oxidation.(*1) Green Tea contains catechin-polyphenols and caffeine. The catechin-polyphenols inhibit the enzyme that tums off catecholamine activity.(*2) Catecholamines are responsible for the promotion of fat buming. The caffeine works to promote catecholamine production and also inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase. So this means caf-feine has the enhanced ability to burn fatty acids due to the catechinpolyphenols and can act as an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase enzyme, which turns off fat burning.(*3).
- Synephrine Citrus Aurantium (Advantra-Z ) is a Chinese fruit that contains several alkaloids with Synephrine being the prin-cipal compound. Synephrine is a related cousin of Ephedrine and according to its patent information, it does not act in the body as a stimulant. Synephrine is thought to only stimulate the beta 3 receptors, which control basal metabolic rate. This compound may provide the same fat burning, muscle sparing and appetite regulation as Ephedrine but with out any stimulant like side effects.(*4)
- L-Tyrosine The amino acid L-tyrosine is converted to noradrenaline' which is one of the catecholeamines released by caffeine.(*5,6) The L-tyrosine conversion to noradrenaline causes cat-echoleamine rejuvenation and prolongs caffeine effective-ness. L-tyrosine is an amino acid that has been shown to enhance the effects of other thermogenic agents.
- Forskolin The newest ingredient to enter the fat loss arena is Forslean or the Aurvedic herbal Forskolin standardized at 20% Coleus forskohlii. Research shovvs oral forskolin to a potent stimulator of adenyl cyclase (*8) Adenyl Cyclase is the controlling agent of fatty acid beta-oxidation or to put it simply when this enzyme is produced it forces the body to burn fat for energy or fuel. If this herb is combined with any beta-agonist say like synephrine it causes a supercharged release of fatty acids to be utilized for ener-gy or fuel.
- Flavanex-ER Flavanex-ER contains quercetin, naringin, and fisetin which are bioflavanoids found to extend the actions of caf-feine and synephrine like compounds. This prolonged action causes the caffeine and synephrine to work longer and thus promote greater thermogenesis and fat loss.(*9)
- 5-HTP
5-HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan has been shown to regu-late carbohydrate and food intake and thus promote fat loss. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin. 5-HTP converts 5-HT or 5-hydroxytryptamine (Serotonin). Serotonin is thought to be one of the major hormones which regulates carbohydrate and food intake.(10,11) The HTP used is this product is of natural origin and is derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia.
