The term commonly used with fat burning supplements is often thermogenics, which as the name suggests, has to do with temperature. These supplements have been shown to help increase the body's temperature enabling the body's ability to burn calories as heat; to be used as energy, thereby preventing them from being stored a fat.
Effective thermogenic supplements are those that contain key ingredients that create a fat burning 'thermogenic' environment by working together and in synergy. Some of these ingredients also aid in reducing appetite and spiking an increase in short-term energy. Such common ingredients are:
Banana leaf extract - Balances blood sugar levels - Transports blood sugar into the cells and aids in controlling carbohydrate cravings
Cayenne - Raises the body's metabolic rate
Citrus Aurantium - A highly effective calorie and fat burner - Helps to burn fat, and does not affect the central nervous system - Increases energy levels
CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid - An important fatty acid that has been shown to reduce the body's ability to store fat and increase the body's use of fat for energy.
Coleus Forskohlii - Accelerates the breakdown of existing fat stores - Promotes healthy cardiovascular function, lowers elevated blood pressure - Increases levels of cellular messenger cAMP(cyclicadenosine monophosphatpe) that in turn accelerates the breakdown of existing fat stores
Garcinia Cambogia - Promotes weight loss and suppresses appetite - Increases fat oxidation and mobilization - Promotes glycogen synthesis - Increases energy levels
Guarana Extract - When combined with other ingredients it helps to boost their effect - Has been used for centuries to reduce fatigue and to increase energy levels
Green Tea Extract - When combined with the other ingredients it helps to boost their effect to burn fat - Has been used for centuries to reduce fatigue and to increase energy levels lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Hoodia - The Hoodia molecule, christened P57, fools your brain into believing you are full making it easier to lose that excess weight. - Pure Hoodia has no known side-effects, it is stimulant free, will not give you the shakes, make your heart race or raise your body temperature.
Konjac root - is high in fiber, essential for cleaning the digestive system. - it expands to about 50 times its original volume when used with a large glass of water.
Mucana Puriens - Improves cognitive function, alleviating depression and improving a sense of well being - Helps to naturally boost healthy amounts of growth hormone, which promotes lean muscle growth, and in turn a faster metabolism
Naringin - Extends the half-life of all the other fat burning ingredients, thereby supporting and extending a longer fat burning timeframe
Potassium Pyruvate - Increases resting metabolic rate - Facilitates the transport of blood sugar into muscle tissue to increase available energy
Spirulina - Improves weight loss - Lowers cholesterol - Increases energy and boosts mood
White Willow Bark - The bark of the white willow tree is a source of salicin and other salicylates - compounds - When combined with the other ingredients it helps to boost their effect to burn fat
Here we will look at the best natural fat burners and appetite suppressants that you can use to lose weight fast.
Astragalus or Milk-Vetch
This is a basic herb in traditional Chinese medicine, and used for thousands of years as a “chi" protector. This herb will help you regain energy if you are fatigued, and will boost the immune system. It also is said to curb appetite.
Beta-Hydroy-Methyl-Butyrate (Metabolized Leucine)
As the metabolized product of the amino acid Leucine, Beta-Hydroy-Methyl-Butyrate (known as HMB) has shown such great promise as a fat burner and energy booster, NASA has been testing it on astronauts suffering from muscle wastage. Weight lifters know HMB works to define muscle and burn fat.
Coffee and Caffeine
Most of us know the obvious effects on our biochemistry, but more technically, the liver breaks down caffeine into three metabolites (metabolic breakdown of a substance); namely paraxanthine, theobromine and theophylime.
Paraxanthine is connected with fax oxidation, as well as releasing fatty acids and glycerol into the bloodstream.
Theobromine is a known vasodialator, and thus increases oxygen flow to the brain and muscles. Theophylime increases heart rate (a very known effect of drinking coffee in the morning).
Conjugated Linoleic Acid
A well-known omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid, CLA is now known to suppress appetite.
Additionally, CLA also has been proved to increase fat mobilization (from fatty tissue) and helps in building muscle mass. Additionally, and of great interest, it seems that CLA can increase our production of prostaglandins, which in turn, are linked to increased Human Growth Hormone production.
Dimethylglycine
Dimethylglycine, or DMG commercially, is a basic amino acid found in plant and animal cells. However, our diets may not contain the correct elements to ingest enough of this protein. In the liver, it is partially metabolized to sulfur-adenosylmethionime or SAMe. SAMe is used by the body in the production of DNA and neurotransmitters.
Users of DMG believe that it aids in keeping the mind keen, generally aids in full oxygenation of the cells with good metabolism of lipids (fats). Bodybuilders love this additive
Fenugreek
Fenugreek is a Mediterranean herb, also found in Asian cuisine. The seeds are used as spice, and they contain mucilage (a soluble fiber). Mucilage is very well known, when in the intestines, to form a gelatinous mass. This aids in bulk formation, and thus good evacuation.
The contents of the fenugreek seed, by binding to fatty acids, will reduce fat absorption. Also, as it creates a biomass in the stomach and intestines, it acts to give you a feeling of fullness, and thus a good appetite suppressant. This obviously promotes weight loss.
