Here is the rundown on Thermal Rage's Ultimate Thermogenic Energizing™
Components:
Bergenin
Much like the EGCG found in Green Tea, Bergenin has been shown to be increase the lipolytic action of other compounds acting on the adrenergic system. Studies have confirmed that it markedly increases lipolysis caused by adrenergic hormones such as norepinephrine, and even opposes the lipogenic (fat building) actions of the hormone insulin. Some of the known actions in which Bergenin fights fat involve increased norepinephrine binding to fat cells and the inhibition or blocking of the PPAR-gamma receptor which is responsible for the accumulation of fat and maturation of fat cells.
Tyramine
A compound that is found in small quantities in many foods such as aged cheeses, beer, wine and processed meats, is also produced in the body by the amino acid tyrosine. Taking supplemental tyramine causes more norepinephrine (NE) - a neurotransmitter that increases metabolism and the use of fat as fuel - to be released from nerve cells. NE has also been a target for some of the newer antidepressant drugs.
Because of the structural similarity, tyramine can displace NE, leading the body to release more of it. Human studies have confirmed that tyramine is capable of increasing NE levels in the bloodstream. As an added bonus, it is possible that tyramine also increases the levels of dopamine (another neurotransmitter with appetite suppressing and antidepressant effects), although the research is controversial on this point. Tyramine has also been found to increase insulin sensitivity. Using an animal model of diabetes, researchers found that tyramine increased glucose disposal and prevented hyperglycaemia. With the combination of increased neurotransmitter levels and improved insulin sensitivity, tyramine could confer multiple benefits, including appetite suppression, fat loss, and a muscle sparing effect. New evidence suggests that tyramine may help enhance leptin sensitivity, which can be tremendously important when attempting to lose bodyfat and curb hunger.
Bacopa monnieri
Stress is one of the primary problems on a diet, and can be a serious impediment to successful weight loss. Because of this, a class of drugs known as adaptogens is becoming increasingly popular among bodybuilders. Adaptogens are essentially drugs or herbs that increase the body's resistance against various physical and psychological stressors. An Ayuervedic herb also as brahmi, Bacopa Monnieri has been used for centuries in India to enhance memory and reduce stress. Bacopa is one of the better known adaptogens, and it can effectively blunt stress-induced changes in the levels of various hormones and enzymes. It has been described in the medical literature as having "potent adaptogenic activity."
Additionally, bacopa has cognition enhancing properties, even in healthy humans, but only after it has been regularly administered for some time. In one placebo-controlled study, after twelve weeks of bacopa administration, people given the herb had improved scores on tests of verbal learning, memory consolidation, and early information processing. Animal studies also indicate bacopa to have antiinflammatory, anticancer, antiepileptic, anxiolytic (anxiety reducing), and antidepressant properties.
As an added bonus, it's possible that bacopa could increase thyroid hormone levels, leading to an increase in metabolic rate. In one study, bacopa administration showed it can increase hormone levels by more than 40%. Thyroid hormones play a major role in regulating the metabolic rate of the cells, increasing the pace at which your body burns calories. All in all, bacopa is an effective supplement and one of the best options for combating stress due to diet and heavy training.
Magnolia
For thousands of years, magnolia bark has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to boost energy and reduce stress. Preliminary research shows magnolia not only helps to lower cortisol (elevated cortisol leads to fat storage, particularly around the waistline), but actually helps fat leave fat cells. Once the fat departs from the cell, it can travel to active tissues to be used for energy.
Green Tea
Green tea extract has been a popular supplement for a while, but more and more research is confirming not only its many health benefits, but its ability to promote fat loss. In addition to multiple animal studies showing green tea to lead to fat loss published just this year, a three month double-blind, placebo controlled study on thirty men was published in the January 2005 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Compared to the placebo group, those who ingested catechins (the beneficial compounds in green tea that extracts are standardized for) daily lost more weight and more fat. While the earlier research was more preliminary, this study confirms the ability of green tea to lead to fat loss in humans.
Recent research has also given us a better picture of how green tea leads to fat loss. The more well-known mechanisms are catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibition, decreased dietary fat absorption, and increased levels of some hormones that suppress the appetite. A study published last year suggested yet another mechanism: when given to rats, green tea decreased the activity of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in fat tissue, while increasing GLUT4 activity in muscle tissue. What this means is that fuel was being shunted away from fat and towards muscle. Not only does green tea facilitate weight loss, it can also lead to the preferential loss of fat over muscle. This is a great asset, since maintaining muscle mass is one of the hardest things to do on a diet.
A new study has discovered the phytochemicals in green tea are better use by the body in supplemental form rather than from actual green tea. The active ingredients in Lean Green™, the super-potent green tea extract found in Thermal Rage, are catechins, and the main catechin responsible for the thermogenic effect of green tea extract is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Studies show it can increase metabolism by about 4%. That equates to more than 100 extra calories burned per day for most males. EGCG inhibits the enzyme responsible for the degradation of NE. By preventing NE breakdown, its fat burning effect is stronger and lasts longer.
Caffeine
Caffeine in a central nervous system stimulant (CNS) and is known as the king of all stimulants. Caffeine has well known thermogenic properties in humans; increasing the rate of lipolysis and total energy expenditure, and decreasing food intake. It has also been shown to help increase fat-burning during exercise and improve performance. Caffeine is particularly effective for fat loss when used in conjunction with an agent that causes release of NE or other catecholamines, such as tyramine.
Caffeine also may exhibit a synergistic relationship for fat loss with EGCG, a component of green tea. This is because EGCG inhibits COMT, an enzyme that breaks down NE and other catecholamines.
Niacin
Niacin is an essential B vitamin. Niacin contributes to healthy cardiovascular function, nervous system function, and immune function. Niacin also helps support healthy cholesterol levels and can help remove fats (triglycerides) from tissues and the bloodstream.
Evodiamine
Evodiamine is a compound that comes from Edovia fruits, which are used as a medicine in China. It is related to capsaicin, which is responsible for the sensation of heat caused by hot peppers. These substances act on receptors in the body known as vanilloid receptors, which can lead to a variety of effects. One of the changes noted after evodiamine administration in one study was a reduction in body fat, along with reduced cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These changes occurred at relatively low doses of the drug. This study also demonstrated that (contrary to popular belief) evodiamine should not necessarily be expected to alter body temperature, as it has effects that both increase and decrease body temperature which cancel out. However, according to another study, it may at least prevent body temperature from dropping below normal.
Not only does evodiamine lead to fat loss by helping thermogenesis, it also suppresses the appetite. It does this by increasing the levels of cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone that acts as a natural appetite suppressant. As with the other supplements we have discussed, a number of possible health benefits have been identified. Evodiamine has been found to stop or slow the spread of prostate cancer, leukemia, melanoma, cervical cancer, fibrosarcoma, and multiple drug resistant breast cancer cells. Animal studies have also found that it has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, can reduce hypoxia, and is a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction because of its vasodilating effect. With the low dosage required, multiple mechanisms of action, and possible health benefits, evodiamine is another potential candidate for the next safe and effective fat loss aid.
