P2™ Oolong Tea SE
Oolong Tea has been studied extensively
for its antioxidant properties and it is believed to aid in decreasing
bodyfat.* A recent study on Oolong Tea showed it to increase metabolism
even more so than the popular Green Tea.* Oolong Tea increased resting
energy needs by 10 percent compared to 4 percent for Green Tea.* Don't
go throwing away your Green Tea just yet. Researchers found that the
teas work for different reasons. Green Tea is high in catechins and
caffeine, while Oolong Tea is high in P2™ Polymerized Polyphenols
(several Polyphenols linked together). The research suggests that P2™
Polymerized Polyphenols in Oolong Tea are responsible for the increased
Energy Expenditure (EE) and that by taking Green Tea in conjunction
(high in catechins) may provide an even greater fat-burning effect.*
Lean Green™ Green Tea SE
An abundance of research has studied the
potential for Green Tea can cause weight loss through multiple ways.*
Green Tea is an effective appetite suppressant and increases
thermogenesis.* Thermogenesis refers to energy used in heat production
that is not related to resting metabolism or physical activity. Green
Tea effects on body weight and energy expenditure were examined in a
study that reported that 24-h energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation
increased in healthy, young men who consumed a Green Tea Extract
containing caffeine and Green Tea Polyphenols(catechins which include
EC, EGC, ECG, and EGCG).* Of these, EGCG epigallocatechin gallate is
the most active. It was concluded that Green Tea Polyphenols,
especially EGCG stimulate thermogenesis and fat oxidation.* A
synergistic effect of EGCG and caffeine may be responsible for
enhancing thermogenesis and fat oxidation.* Additionally the catechins,
found in Green Tea are known to possess antioxidant activity by
protecting the body from the damaging effects of oxidative damage from
free radicals.*
Caffeine
A natural Central Nervous System
stimulant, caffeine is also extremely well-documented to possess
thermogenic and appetite-suppressive qualities.* Caffeine is widely
used for its ability to provide energy levels, and studies suggest it
increases reaction time and enhances athletic performance.*
Bioperine®
Bioperine® is a standardized
extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum
L (long pepper). It contains 95 percent of piperine. Bioperine® may be
co-administered with various nutrients for both human and animal
health. The metabolic process that generates energy at the cellular
level in the human body is called thermogenesis. Though thermogenesis
has been identified as a key factor in maintaining weight loss, it has
also been identified as playing an integral role in utilizing the daily
food and nutrients that the human body consumes.* It sets in motion the
mechanisms that lead to digestion and subsequent gastrointestinal
absorption.* Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine® enhances the
body's natural thermogenic activity - hence the term Thermonutrient®.*
This enhancement may be explained as a
means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to "power up" the
mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased
metabolic processes that creates a "demand" for "supply" of a broad
range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins,
minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine® activates a
metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more
efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.* Bioperine®
is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status
for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional
compounds.* Secondly, it is the only source from piperine to have
undergone clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and
efficacy for nutritional use. Bioperine® is a registered trademark of
Sabinsa Corp. and is protected by U.S. Patents; No. 5,536,506, No.

Ginger Root SE Gingerols & Shogaols
Ginger consists of the fresh or dried
roots of Zingiber officinale. Ginger is a known diaphoretic, meaning it
causes one to sweat.* It is also carminative, which means that it helps
break up intestinal gas.* It also has the ability to cleanse the colon,
stimulate circulation, and aid metabolism.* It is often used as an
adjunct to other supplements for general tonic or stimulant purposes.*
Ginger has long been ascribed aphrodisiac powers as well.*
