1. Green Tea Extract (EGCG- Epigallocatechin-gallate)

Green tea extract is full of flavanols and catechins. The catechins, help the body produce more norepinephrine (the body’s key fat burning hormone) which the body uses to increase and prolong thermogenesis (burn fat) and increases the body’s resting metabolism. It also provides lots of antioxidants, and supports a healthy immune system.

Green tea has also been shown to reduce joint tissue post workout which helps in the long run after many intense sessions.

Combining EGCG with Carnitine increases the fat loss effects of a tough training session.

Take 500mg 3 x daily or 1-2g 30 minutes pre workout.

2. CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

Enhances fat loss and has been shown to increase muscle mass and strength. CLA inhibits fat storing enzymes LPL (Lipoprotein lipase). CLA also spares your muscle tissue using fat for fuel.

CLA is found in high amounts in grass fed wild meats such as Elk, Buffalo, Kangaroo and Bison.

Take 2g with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

3. Carnitine

The body uses carnitine to shuttle fat to the mitochondria of cells and used as fuel/ energy for the body. Forms such as Acetyl Carnitine, has been shown to increase blood flow in the brain, resulting in increased drive, concentration and alertness.

Carnitine has also been shown to increase Androgen receptors and enhance anabolic growth factor IGF-1, which is ideal for building muscle.

Carnitine is also found in high amounts in Grass fed and wild meats.

Combining 4-6 caps with1-2 caps of Green tea extract 30 minutes before training significantly increase fat loss during intense training sessions.

4. Forskolin

Forskolin activates an enzyme called Adenylate cyclase which creates a reaction that allows for the fat in cells to be broken down and used for fuel.

Forskolin has also been shown to boost testosterone levels in men over a 12 week period.

Take 20-50mg 3 x before meals daily.

5. Fish Oil

Fish oil has been shown to decrease inflammation in the body which is ideal after many hard training sessions and increases protein synthesis helping you regenerate after sessions. Fish Oil also increases insulin sensitivity, which means your body will absorb more nutrients into the muscle cells.

Fish oil also improves mood, concentration, improve cell membrane health, reduce pain from inflammation, fight stress and reduce arterial stiffness to name but a few.

Take 6-9g a day or more according to your health practitioner and fat loss objectives.
