Technical Specifications

Green Tea & Caffeine

The green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via the activation of themrogenesis and fat oxidation. 1 Green Tea contains catechin-polyphenols and caffeine. The catechin-polyphenols inhibit the enzyme that turns off the catecholamine activity. 2 Catecholamines are responsible for the promotion of fat burning. The caffeine works to promote categcholamine production and also inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase. So this means caffeine has the enhanced ability to burn fatty acids due to the catechinpolyphenols and can act as an inhibitor of the phosphodieterase enzyme, which turns off fat burning. 3

Synephrine

Citrus Aurantium (Advantra-Z™) is a Chinese fruit that contains several alkaloids with Synephrine being the principal compound. Synaphrine 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 stimulat like side effects. 4

L-Tyrosine

The amino acid L-tyrosine is converted to noroadrenaline which is one of the catecholeamines released by caffeine. 5, 6 The L-tyrosine conversion to nodreneline causes catecholeamine rejuvenation and prolongs caffeine effectiveness. L-tyrosine is an amino acid that has been shown to enhance the effects of other thermogenic agents.

Forkolin

The newest ingredient to enter the fat loss arena is Forslean® or the Aurvedic herbal Forkolin standardized at 20% Coleus forkohlii. Research shows oral forskolin to be 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 like synephrine it causes a supercharged release of fatty acids to be utilized for energy or fuel.

Flavanex-ER

FLavanex-ER contains quercetin, naringin, a fisetin which are bioflavanoids found to extend the actions of caffeine and synephrine like compounds. This prolonged action causes the caffeine and synephrine to work longer and thus promote greater thermogensis and fat loss. 9

5-HTP

5-HTP or 5-hydroxytryptophan has been shown to regulate carbohydrate and food intake and thus promote fat loss. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin. 5-HTP converts 5-HT or 5-ydroxytrptamine (Serotonin). Serotonin is thought to be one of the major hormones which regulates carbohydrate and food instake. 10, 11 The HTP used in this product is of natural original and is derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia.
