Directions
DIRECTIONS: It’s advised to begin usage with 1-2 caps 1-2 times daily to assess tolerance. Build up to a maximum of 3 caps twice a day on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and in the afternoon. Cycle usage: 8-12 weeks on, at least 2 weeks off. Avoid other sources of stimulants while on! Stack only with non-stimulant fat burners, e.g. L-carnitine.
Additional Information
Purpose of Ingredients
Beta-phenylethylamine
Main purpose: metabolic and mental stimulation, mood enhancement.
This neurotransmitter is a “clean” stimulant (less chance for anxiety, headaches, etc.) and strong mood enhancer.
Evodiamine
Main purpose: speeding up metabolism.
This bioactive alkaloid extract is thermogenic (may interact with UCP1: Uncoupling Protein 1 is found in the mitochondria and it generates heat by non-shivering thermogenesis) and has energy boosting and diuretic properties.
Synephrine
Main purpose: enhancing metabolic rate, suppressing appetite, sparing muscle tissue.
Synephrine interacts with adrenoreceptors and speeds up the metabolism for fat loss and blunts appetite in synergy with the other active ingredients.
Raspberry ketones
Main purpose: fat loss enhancement by producing thermogenesis.
Raspberry ketones from the fruit are thermogenic like some of the other ingredients, but via different mechanism: instead of stimulating beta adrenoreceptors, raspberry ketones cause hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) to translocate to within the fat cells. The HSL enzyme’s activity level is a rate-limiting step in lipolysis (fat burning).
Sclareolide
Main purpose: fat loss through thermogenesis and thyroid stimulation.
From the plant Salvia Sclarea (Clary Sage). It increases lipolysis through Cyclic AMP. It stimulates adenylate cyclase independently of beta-2 receptors, which means it has no limitations because it won't down-regulate. Increased cAMP with high T3 (a thyroid hormone) levels (optimized with the help of guggulsterones) greatly increases the breakdown of fat. Also positive is the fact that Sclareolide has no effect on adrenoreceptors that over-stimulate the heart or raise blood pressure.
Cinnamomum Burmanni
Main purpose: managing insulin and glucose metabolism.
Also known as Indonesian Cinnamon. It helps cells to optimally utilize insulin for healthy glucose metabolism.
Dicaffeine Malate
Main purpose: metabolic and mental stimulation, energy enhancement.
It is caffeine bound to malic acid to optimize energy, stimulate thermogenesis and increase mental focus. Malic acid buffers the caffeine so that it digests easier than the natural caffeine on its own, and also helps to replenish energy.
Green Tea extract
Main purpose:increasing energy expenditure (thermogenesis).
A powerful, standardized green tea extract with 50% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) content that is one of the most important polyphenols in tea. It increases energy expenditure (thermogenesis) burning preferentially fat. Green tea has not been associated with negative effects on the cardiovascular system (such as increased heart rate and blood pressure), or nervous system side effects (such as over-stimulation and irritability).
Yohimbe
Main purpose: facilitation of stubborn fat burning from trouble areas.
Standardized for yohimbine that is an alpha adrenerg receptor blocker. These receptors, when not blocked, decrease fat burning and restrict blood flow, therefore with yohimbine, one can facilitate fat burning, especially at problematic spots where alpha receptors are prevalent.
Garcinia Cambogia
Main purpose: appetite suppression, dietary carbohydrate management.
Garcinia Cambogia, standardized for hydroxycitric acid (HCA), helps to block the conversion and deposition of carbohydrates to fat stores; and influences appetite. It has also been demonstrated that HCA increases fat oxidation during exercise.
Guggulsterones
Main purpose: fat burning by improving thyroid function and speeding up metabolism.
Guggul can help enhance thyroid function. The thyroid gland produces hormones that are needed to regulate (speed up) metabolism.
L-Tyrosine
Main purpose: energy, mental boost, precursor to important substances.
Tyrosine is a precursor to several neurotransmitters and it has mind-stimulating effects. This potent amino acid is also the building material for thyroid hormones. It enhances mental clarity, the mind-muscle connection, mood, and reduces fatigue and stress.
Chromium Picolinate
Main purpose: optimal carbohydrate metabolism.
Acts as an insulin potentiator: helps the body to efficiently metabolize carbohydrates, and improves glucose regulation helping to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Taraxacum Officinale
Main purpose: flushing out excess water.
Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) is a natural diuretic.
White Willow bark
Main purpose: to potentiate the other active ingredients.
White Willow bark standardized for salicin that’s a natural source of salicylic acid. It helps to attenuate the decrease of cAMP levels (natural reaction from the body) thus thermogenesis is sustained for longer periods of time (more calories are burned).
BioPerine®
Main purpose: to potentiate the other active ingredients.
BioPerine® is an extract obtained from the black pepper fruit that is cultivated in the nutrient-rich soil regions of southern India. The delicate pepper berries are harvested just prior to ripening and then sun dried to assure optimum maturity and quality. The extract of piperine, called BioPerine® in the patented form, has been clinically tested. BioPerine® significantly enhances the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption.
