All Natural Supplements That Take the Weight Off

Weight problems and obesity are constant topics in the news
these days, because fat has become an epidemic. With this
increase in obesity, there’s also been a huge surge of diet
pills put on the market. Unfortunately, prescription diet pills
are quite expensive and can be uncomfortable – if not downright
dangerous to your health.

Some of the known side effects of prescription diet pills
include: Dry mouth, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach upset,
painful urination, blurred vision, adverse effects to the
central nervous system, and decreased sexual drive. Then of
course – since the recent fiasco with prescription pain killers
- there’s not much telling these days whether prescription diet
pills are actually safe.

Luckily there are many all natural herbs and supplements that
can help you lose weight though, here are some of the primary
ones:

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 “Better to be deprived of
food for three days, then tea for one.” (Ancient Chinese
Proverb) To sum up, 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 an antioxidant,
however, 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.

Biotin Part of the vitamin B-complex; Biotin is also known as
vitamin H. Biotin helps promote energy production, helps to
maintain a healthy nervous system, good for hair (prevents
greying and baldness) and healthy skin. Biotin is necessary for
both metabolism and growth in humans, particularly with
reference to production of fatty acids, antibodies, digestive
enzymes, and in niacin (vitamin B-3) metabolism.
