Metabogenic Results
What
Results You Can Expect When Taking Metabogenic
Like other synephrine/caffeine-based products on the market, Metabogenic
will induce thermogenesis (raise your body's temperature) and
cause you to burn more calories. Other Metabogenic results include:
suppressing your appetite, preserving lean muscle mass, and increasing
your energy levels. The tyrosine in the formulation increases
these benefits by further curbing appetite and reducing fatigue
and stress levels.
There can sometimes be mild side effects associated with synephrine/caffeine-based
products. For more information, see Metabogenic
Side Effects.
What the Individual Ingredients Do
Metabogenic contains an advanced combination of several potent
ingredients that helps you to lose weight through a number of
different mechanisms. But the main ingredients that produce its
fat-burning effects are the synephrine in the Citrus aurantium,
green tea extract, caffeine, and Coleus Forskohlii from ForsLean.
The other nutrients also have fat-burning effects, and work synergistically
with Metabogenic's core ingredients. (For studies on Metabogenic
and its ingredients, see Metabogenic
Reviews.)
Here is a breakdown of the individual ingredients in Metabogenic
and what they do:
Citrus aurantium
Citrus aurantium is the botanical name for a fruit known as zhi
shi in traditional Chinese medicine and as bitter orange or sour
orange in other countries. The unripe fruit contains synephrine
– a chemical that is structurally related to ephedrine –
as well as octopamine and tyramine. Like ephedrine, synephrine
has the ability to increase metabolic rate and lipolysis (fat
breakdown). Synephrine is also a mild appetite suppressant and
an energy enhancer. (The Chinese use it to stimulate the Qi, or
energy force.) But unlike ephedrine, synephrine has much less
impact on the central nervous system. This makes it easier to
tolerate for people who are sensitive to ephedrine. The effects
of synephrine are greatly increased when it is combined with caffeine.
The amount of synephrine alkaloids in Metabogenic is approximately
20 mg per 2 capsules.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea contains potent antioxidant compounds called polyphenols.
There are four primary polyphenols in green tea. While all four
appear to have protective value, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)
occurs in the greatest amounts and has the strongest benefits.
EGCG is an antioxidant that is several times more potent than
vitamin E. It also prolongs the life of norepinephrine, which
triggers thermogenesis. As a result, EGCG keeps the thermogenic
process going for a longer period of time, boosting your metabolic
rate and facilitating fat loss.
Caffeine
Caffeine has been shown to dramatically increase free fatty-acid
levels, providing the body with a fuel source that it can use
instead of the glycogen stored in your liver and muscles. In fact,
one study found a 100% increase in plasma free fatty acids after
the subjects took 330 mg of caffeine.
At the same time, caffeine has been shown to increase adrenaline
levels. This "fight-or-flight" hormone increases alertness
and boosts energy levels, helping you to go through your daily
tasks with less food intake. Most people experience a reduced
appetite when their adrenaline levels are high, usually because
they are focused on more essential tasks. With these two mechanisms,
it's easy to understand why caffeine is important for jump-starting
your weight-loss efforts.
Coleus forskohlii (ForsLean™)
The standardized root extract of Coleus forskohlii (also known
as forskolin) is a powerful herbal compound indigenous to India
and used in Ayurvedic medicine. Scientists have found that forskolin
helps increase lean body mass, enhance metabolism, increase fat
burning and stimulate thyroid activity.
Without getting too technical, forskolin promotes lean body mass
by increasing levels of something called cyclic AMP (cAMP). The
role of cAMP in the body is vital to weight loss. It triggers
a chain of biochemical events in the body that results in increased
metabolism, thermogenesis, and mechanisms that promote lean body
mass.
Based on its powerful mechanism of action, a company called Sabinsa
Corporation developed a patented, standardized extract of Coleus
forskohlii root called ForsLean™.
Alpha lipoic acid
Most of the studies on alpha lipoic acid have been done with diabetics,
who often have a problem with insulin sensitivity. These studies
have found that this coenzyme can increase the body's sensitivity
to insulin, reducing the amount of insulin that needs to be produced
by the pancreas (or injected). Nondiabetics also produce alpha
lipoic acid, so it stands to reason that it would promote better
utilization of insulin for them as well. Alpha lipoic acid is
also a potent antioxidant, helping to fight free-radical damage
in the cells.
Naringin
Numerous studies have indicated that naringin prolongs the chemical
activity of caffeine. Research published in the British Journal
of Clinical Pharmacology found that the half-life of caffeine
was extended by 31% when naringin was present in sufficient amounts.
Studies of various citrus fruits have shown that grapefruit has
by far the highest content of naringin. It is, in fact, what gives
grapefruit its characteristic bitter taste.
L-tyrosine
L-tyrosine is the amino acid tyrosine in free (unbound) form,
while acetyl-L-tyrosine is the same amino acid tied to an acetyl
molecule. Both are bioavailable forms of tyrosine, an amino acid
that plays an important role in human metabolism. It is the precursor
to stimulatory neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, norepinephrine,
dopamine and some of the thyroid hormones. All of these neurotransmitters
and hormones play important roles in maintaining your metabolic
rate. Logically, if you have a greater supply of these precursors,
you can nudge your metabolism up a bit, helping you to shed unwanted
pounds. Several studies have also shown that tyrosine increases
the benefits of thermogenic supplements, in part by curbing appetite.
Tyrosine appears to reduce stress and fatigue as well, putting
you in a better state of mind and making it easier to stick to
your diet and exercise program.
