Active Ingredients
L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine is a compound that is used in energy metabolism.
It might only be effective for fat burning in those who have a deficiency in Carnitine levels.
In healthy people it can increase insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels, which may help with body composition (1).
The standard dose is 500-2,000mg daily.
Green Coffee Bean
Green Coffee Beans contain Chlorogenic Acid, a compound which has been shown to improve fat loss and heart health (2).
The effective dose is about 240-600mg, for a 50% extract.
Caffeine
Caffeine can increase metabolic rate and energy levels. This helps to burn fat while maintaining alertness during a diet (3).
An effective dose is 200-500mg.
Olive Leaf
Olive Leaf Extract has strong antioxidant properties, and can increase insulin sensitivity (4).
This lets your body use carbohydrates more efficiently, and helps with fat loss.
Hemerocallis Fulva
Hemerocallis Fulva (Daylily) has an extract that has shown improved fat oxidation in test-tube studies (5).
More research is needed to determine effectiveness and optimal dosage.
B-Phenylethylamine HCl
B-Phenylethylamine HCl, also known as PEA, is a mood-boosting ingredient.
It has been shown to improve attitude and positivity in humans (6).
Higenamine HCl
Higenamine is a compound to have similar effects to Ephedrine, which has fat-burning properties (7).
It may be a good alternative, due to Ephedrine being regulated in Australia and New Zealand.
More human studies need to be done, but the estimated effective dose is 2-3 doses of 20-30mg daily.
Choline
Choline is a molecule used to make Acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter.
Studies have shown that those with greater Choline consumption exhibit better cognitive performance (8).
