• Green Tea ExtractGreen Tea Extract *Research has shown that Green Tea Extract may result in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism) which can have a significant effect on fat oxidation. This has substantial benefits for weight control. Green Tea Extract has been shown to increase overall energy expenditure and thermogenesis.(*Dulloo AG et al: Efficacy of a green tea extract rich in catechin polyphenols and caffeineCaffeine is a naturally occurring substance found in the leaves, seeds or fruits of more than 60 plants. It is a Central Nervous System stimulant and a mild diuretic (may reduce water retention) and therefore may restore alertness & temporarily reduce tiredness by providing an energy boost and elevating mood.

• Chromium PolynicotinateChromium Polynicotinate is an essential trace mineral that can be used to regulate blood sugar. It helps turn protein into muscle and converts sugar into energy. It is crucial to the synthesis of cholesterol, fats and proteins. Chromium Polynicotinate ensures greater utilization of stored fat and can have a thermogenic effect. It binds to Vitamin B (niacin) which is more readily absorbed by the body. It may support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.

• B VitaminsB Vitamins contain essential water-soluble vitamins the body needs daily. They work together to help increase metabolic rate, to boost energy levels, to maintain healthy skin and muscle tone and to enhance the immune and nervous system function, as well as to promote cell growth. B1(Thiamine HCl) is a catalyst essential for carbohydrate metabolism. B2(Riboflavine) helps the body produce energy by metabolizing fats, carbs and proteins. B3(Nicotinamide) has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and eliminates toxins. B6(Pyridoxine HCl) absorbs and metabolizes amino acids, uses fats and forms red blood cells. B12 (Cyanocobalamin) plays a role in cell division and assists the function of the nervous system.
• BioPerineBioPerine® is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L. (black pepper). It is a widely patented bio-availability enhancer” that may have the ability to increase the absorption of nutritional compounds. BioPerine® may enhance the body's natural thermogenic activity and is therefore referred to as a natural Thermonutrient'. It may help “power up” the metabolic process and enhance the absorption of nutrients.
