L-Carnitine is an ammonia containing compound that's formed in the liver and kidneys from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It has been widely studies throughout the years for its fantastic anabolic and performance enhancing properties, specifically through its unique ability to upregulate and increase androgen receptors throughout the body. This means that the more androgen receptors you have in muscle tissues, the more testosterone can bind to them, leading to muscle growth and fat loss. The downside of L-Carnitine is its poor bioavailability when taken orally (about 10%), hence why we introduced a hefty 5 grams dose per serving, which will lead to a clinical dose of 500 mg. Research has shown that to successfully deliver L-Carnitine to the muscle cells, it needs to be taken along with a carbohydrate source which will boost insulin. This is why we strongly recommend to take INFLAMED with some fast digesting carbohydrates.

Glucomannan is a natural, water-soluble dietary fibre extracted from the roots of the elephant yam, also known as konjac. Several randomized controlled trials have studied the effects of glucomannan on weight loss, confirming its natural fat loss properties. It does so by taking up space in your stomach and promoting a feeling of fullness, hence allowing you to reduce food intake at a subsequent meal. It also delays stomach emptying, contributing to increased satiety.

L-Tyrosine is an amazing cognitive enhancing amino acid that acts by balancing neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Its primary role is as the direct precursor to thyroxine and to the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. L-Tyrosine shines in its ability to improve mental sharpness, focus, energy levels, and to boost metabolism and cause mood elevation.

Garcinia cambogia belongs to the family of guttiferae (clusiaceae), which includes over 200 species, today mostly found throughout Asia and Africa. The main components of Garcinia cambogia’s fruit are hydroxycitric acid (HCA) and its lactone, which are responsible for its potential to reduce weight, appetite, and fat build-up. It works by several mechanism, mostly by reducing the levels of a fat-producing enzyme, by decreasing the activity of proteins that increase the levels of fat-producing enzymes, by increasing the levels of a fat-burning enzyme (lipoprotein lipase) and by decreasing the production of triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and fat (free fatty acids) in the liver.

Naringin is a water-soluble flavonoid that comes from citrus. Naringin supplementation has proven to be efficacious for the treatment of metabolic syndrome and obesity. It does so by working on the enzymes that are in charge of regulating glucose. Naringin supplementation have shown to lower glucose levels over time, while also improving intolerance to glucose and reducing insulin resistance. The extract also helps to control cravings and provides fibre. This all will work to help users with their weight loss or weight management efforts.

Hesperidin is a naturally occurring bioflavonoid mainly present in lemons and oranges, but also found in other fruits and vegetables. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that hesperidin possesses inhibitory effect against obesity diseases. Hesperidin regulates lipid metabolism, it's a strong anti-oxidant and indirectly regulate inflammation though a pathway that play a role in the treatment of obesity. In addition, hesperidin-enriched dietary supplements can significantly improve symptoms such as postprandial hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia.

Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. It’s loaded with antioxidants and various plant compounds that will benefit your health. The main anti-oxidant is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a substance that can boost metabolism. When paired with caffeine, naturally present in green tea, it can help inhibit an enzyme that breaks down the hormone norepinephrine, allowing for the breakdown and mobilizing of fat cells. Also, several studies suggest that taking green tea extract or EGCG supplements can make you burn more calories, even at rest.

Synephrine HCL is a naturally occurring alkaloid chemical compound found in high levels in the peels of citrus fruits, for example bitter orange. Studies have shown it to be effective at enhancing the rate of fat oxidation during incremental and continuous exercise. This effect is normally accompanied by a concomitant reduction of carbohydrate utilization during exercise, without modifying the energy expended during exercise, allowing the body to preferentially burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Unlike other substances, this shift is obtained without any effect on heart rate during exercise.

Paradoxine® is an ethanol extract of grains of paradise, a seed that comes from the plant aframonum melegueta. The aromatic ketones in grains of paradise, especially 6-paradol and 6-gingerol, have demonstrated a capacity to convert regular fat cells, or white adipose tissue, into brown fat cells, or brown adipose tissue, whose main function is to convert energy from food into body heat. In layman terms, grains of paradise reduces the body’s fat stores while increasing its ability to perform thermogenesis, and thus, sustain exercise and improve body composition. As a branded form of grains of paradise, Paradoxine® enhances this process for greater energy expenditure and fat reduction.
