Caffeine
| Ultimate |
|
Not only is caffeine a stimulant but it can also be just as effective at fat-burning due to its ability of being able to increase the release of fat from fat cells. It has been proven that it can immediately increase your muscle strength and power output if take roughly 1 hour before a workout. At one stage the medical community warned that caffeine can lead to health risks, however recent research has shown that it can prevent seeral of neurodegenerative diseases as well as cardivascular disease.
Alginic Acid
| Great |
|
Derived from brown algae, Alginic Acid is believed to help deliver oxygen and blood to cells and increase overall blood flow to your working muscles. This will result in your body being able to take in more nutrients, including creatine. Combining Alginic Acid with creatine can have a great effect on your body as it will be making better use of the creatine and other nutrients ultimately leading to improved gains in muscle mass.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)
| Ultimate |
|
ALA is know as an antioxidant that helps improve muscleglucose and creatine uptake, it may een potentially boost your endurance performance too. ALA is added to most weight loss supplements because it reduces the amount of insulin your body produces when carbs are eaten, increasing weight loss and reducing hunger
Chitosan

|
Chitosan is a charged protein that attracts fat, clinging on to it and removing it from the digestive system before it is absobed into the body.
L-Carnitine
| Great |
|
L-Carnitine is an amino acid that carries fatty acid into the mitochondria part of a muscle cell where it can be burned for fuel. It is also known for increasing testosterone uptake by cells which results in increasing metabolism. L-Carnitine can be produced by the body of enough vitamin B is regularly taken along with a sufficient amount of the amino acid Lysine and iron.

| Great |
|
L-tyrosine is responsible for the release of the human growth hormone, which results in increasing muscle growth and weight loss. Other effects it can hae is increassed alertness, more focus and better moods.
Chromium
| Alright |
|
Chromium is essential for helping the body sustain optimal insulin performance, however it can be easily depleted when restricting calories or intense training. Research shows it can adversely reduce carbohydrate cravings which lead to enhanced fat loss.
Beta-Phenylethlamine
| Ultimate |
|
This naturally occuring metabolite helps the promotion of weight loss by increasing the release of norepinephrine. Bodybuilder love this as it helps them tolerate lower calorie and lower carb diets.
Green Tea Extract
| Ultimate |

I really don’t know where I stand with weight loss shows.
On the first hand weight loss shows are designed to promote a healthy lifestyle by showing people who have weight issues, lose weight.
However, I think it has made people more insecure about body image, it some instances making people who do have a weight problem hate the way they look.
I think it is ironic how we encourage people to lose weight in this obesity epidemic whilst saying that we should have a more positive outlook on body image. What is your view?

I am interested in starting the New Direction weight loss program which uses ketosis in order to maximize weight loss. By doing so and maintaining healthy eating habits, what is the likelihood of regaining weight?
The program is carefully monitored by nurse practitioners and my family doctor through blood tests and ekgs.
I strongly believe that the key to weight loss is a healthy diet and exercise, but there are some incredible superfoods that can deliver an added boost. One superfood in particular, the green coffee bean.
