In order to maintain lean muscle mass and healthy body composition, there must be a balance between energy intake from food and energy expenditure. When caloric intake exceeds expenditure, the body stores the extra calories within fat cells, thus leading to unwanted weight gain. Along with eating a healthy balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise, the success of weight management efforts can be greatly enhanced by improving hormone regulation, metabolic response and the conversion of stored fat into energy through the use of Thermo-Fit.
Thermo-Fit contains botanical extracts which optimize metabolism, increase thermogenesis, and decrease the conversion of excess carbohydrates into fat. In conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, Thermo-Fit is the ideal adjunct to promote and maintain healthy body composition.
Supports Increase in Metabolic Thermogenesis
The body requires the generation of heat energy, a process called thermogenesis, for proper digestion, absorption and metabolism of nutrients. Thermogenesis is the process through which the body generates energy by increasing the metabolic rate. It is regulated by various hormone signals within the neuroendocrine system, the principle regulator of energy metabolism. An increase in metabolic rate requires the utilization of stored energy and is most often achieved through the breakdown of fat stored within fat cells (lipolysis). Coleus forskohlii, Fucoxanthin, Bladderwrack and Green Tea have all shown an ability to raise the metabolic rate above normal, thereby increasing thermogenic related weight reduction.
Blocks Conversion of Carbohydrates into Storage Fat
Specific digestive enzymes, such as amylases, are required by the body to breakdown carbohydrates from food. When these enzymes are blocked, the starch that is eaten cannot be changed into stored energy within fat cells. White kidney bean and green tea extracts both contain compounds proven to act as amylase inhibitors, and are therefore of significant therapeutic value within a successful weight management program.
