Amino Z Thermogenic

Amino Z Thermogenic

One of the most popular supplements on the market are fat burners.

The kicker?

Most fat burning thermogenic supplements contain very few (if any) evidence based compounds -- rendering them completely ineffective.

Which is why we wanted to create one of the most scientifically supported -- and effective -- thermogenics on the planet.

Which is exactly what we did.

How do Thermogenic Compounds Work

Effective fat burning compounds act on the body in two very distinct ways:

• They increase your fat metabolism, and;
• Enhance your daily energy expenditure

With this in mind, fat metabolism simply describes the process by which your body breaks down and uses fat for energy.

Compounds that promote fat metabolism make your fat more available for energy metabolism, while also boosting the speed your body breaks down fat for energy.

Then we have energy expenditure.

Compounds that boost energy expenditure ultimately increase your metabolic rate (AKA the amount of energy your body burns to survive). This increases how much energy you burn in the daily irrespective of how much you exercise.

All of which makes creating a daily energy deficit easier.

The Amino Z Thermogenic

With all this in mind, we put together a thermogenic fat burning supplement that contains a number of fantastic ingredients that either increase fat metabolism or boost energy expenditure -- all of which makes your weightloss journey faster.

1. Gamma-Butyrobetaine (GBB)

Gamma-Butyrobetaine (GBB for short), is a compound your body uses to synthesise L-Carnitine -- which plays a role in the fat metabolism process.

See, L-carnitine is the compound that carries fat from your cells into the mitochondria, which is where energy is produced. This actually speeds up the rate at which your body breaks down fat for energy.

This means that GBB can increase fat metabolism, ensuring your body burns more fat for energy. Moreover, research shows that taking GBB before exercise increases the amount of fat you burn during that session [1].

2. Rauwolscine

Rauwolscine is a naturally occurring compound that comes from the yohimbe plant. From a fat loss perspective, rauwolscine is known for its ability to block “alpha-2 adrenergic receptors” [2].

Alpha-2 receptors are found throughout your brain and body. When activated, they act to calm the body, lowering heart rate, increasing insulin secretion, and enhancing energy storage.

As such, by blocking these receptors, rauwolscine reduces fat storage and increases fat metabolism. Furthermore, it increases the secretion of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which increases heart rate and energy expenditure.

This means it increases fat metabolism and energy expenditure.

3. Theobromine Extract

Theobromine is a compound found in cacao plants and tea leaves. Interestingly, it acts on the body in a very similar manner to caffeine.

As a result, it increases blood flow throughout the body, while simultaneously promoting the release of the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. These two hormones increase both heart rate and metabolic rate [3], causing a huge boost in energy expenditure.

This makes it a must have ingredient in any fat loss supplement.

4. Acetyl L Carnitine

As I have already outlined above, L-carnitine speeds up the process by which your body breaks down fat for energy. This means that supplementing with L-Carnitine can contribute to a larger portion of the energy you burn coming from fat [4].

As a bonus, L-carnitine and GBB are two compounds that seem to work synergistically with one another, making them the perfect fat loss combination.

5. L-Tyrosine

Tyrosine is an amino acid found in your body that helps you make a number of important substances, including dopamine, adrenaline and noradrenaline, as well as all of your thyroid hormones -- which all impact your metabolism.

As a result, this firstly increases your energy expenditure.

But more importantly, there is evidence to suggest that by influencing your thyroid hormones in a positive manner, it can have a positive effect on your metabolism -- ultimately making it easier for you to lose weight [4].

6. Synephrine HCL

Synephrine is found in high concentrations in the peels of citrus plants.

Research has demonstrated that synephrine extract can improve the function of your liver, increasing the production and secretion of several different enzymes that impact upon your body's energy production processes.

Consequently, it can increase your heart rate and energy output.

This leads to a marked increase in your energy expenditure and your metabolism -- making it one of the most effective fat loss compounds on the planet [5].

7. Caffeine Anhydrous

Caffeine is a compound that acts as a stimulant. After consumption, caffeine makes its way into your brain and attaches itself to your “adenosine receptors”.

Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that relaxes the brain, making you feel tired. Under normal circumstances, adenosine levels accumulate throughout the day, which actually makes it easier for you to fall asleep.

But by blocking these receptors, caffeine increases sensations of alertness, while simultaneously boosting the levels of adrenaline, dopamine, and norepinephrine in your brain.

This further increases your energy output, while also helping mobilise your fat stores for energy, ultimately making it easier for you to lose fat [6].

Final Points

Not all fat loss supplements are created equal -- which is why we put together this fantastic evidence based thermogenic to help you along your fat loss journey.

However, you should always seek advice from a medical professional before commencing supplementation (you know, just to be safe).
