L-Carnitine
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is for fatty acid oxidation - helping users burn unwanted body fat. Fatty acids are one of the key energy sources the body uses, and oxidation is the process by which they're broken down to create energy. The fatty acids cannot penetrate the inner mitochondia membrane (where they are burned for energy), and the key role of L-Carnitine is to transport fatty acids across the mitochondra membrane to allow for oxidation of the fats.
L-Carnitine plays an important role in energy production; It helps in weight loss and fat burning, It transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondra to metabolize and generate energy; Enhances cellular energy in the brain; Improves mental performance; Helps slow the effects of aging; Decreases symptoms of depression; Helps prevent cataracts; Used to support all bodily functions that have a height energy demand.
Green Tea
Here are just a few medical conditions in which green tea is reputed to be helpful: weight control, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, infection, and impaired immune function.
The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.
Camellia Sinensis
Camellia Sinesis activates the central nervous system, which may spar the body's ability to burn calories and unwanted fat cells through the Thermogenic process.
The phenol groups in Camellia Sinensis are extremely active, easily able to capture and neutralize free radicals and other pro-oxidants. Researchers have found that Camellia Sinensis is over 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids (oils and fats). Camellia Sinensis is also 20 times more potent than vitamin E in reducing the formation of dangerous and potentially mutagenic peroxides that form in rancid fats and lard.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
The body needs Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) to produce energy. It plays a crucial role in the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. The body actually makes enough ALA for these basic metabolic functions. This compound acts as n antioxidant, howeve, only when there is an excess of it and it is in the free state in the cells. But there is little free ALA circulating in your body, unless you consume supplements or get it injected. Foods contain only tiny amounts of it. What makes ALA special as an antioxidant is its versatility—it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in many bodily systems.
Bioperine and Piper Nigrum
Bioperine and Piper Nigrum's value is that it has been established to enhance the bioavailibility of certain supplements through increased absorption. In other words, when combined with Bioperine, numerios vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anti oxidants are more effeciently absorbed and utilized in the body.
Because of its ability to create enhanced and more efficient means of nutrient transportation into the bloodstream, Bioperine may have a positive effect on thermogenisis,which would lead to an elevated metabolism. Notwithstanding, Bioperine and Piper Nigrum's real, proven value is in it's ability to enhance the absorption of various nutrients which is the main benefit it provides to any fat burner compilation.
Hoodia Gordonii
Hoodia Gordonii popularity is growing. Hoodia Gordonii is a plant in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa resembling a cactus plant. Hoodia Gordonii is not a cactus plant however, it is a succulent.
