Bitter Orange (Citrus aurantium)

Key Active Compounds: Synephrine (primary alkaloid), octopamine, N-methyltyramine, flavonoids

Weight Loss Benefits:

Thermogenic Properties: Synephrine, the main active compound, increases metabolic rate and thermogenesis without significantly raising heart rate or blood pressure when used appropriately.

Enhances Fat Oxidation: Clinical trials show bitter orange extract containing synephrine (20-50mg) can increase fat burning by 5-7% and metabolic rate by 65 calories per day.

Increases Lipolysis: Synephrine activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors, which promotes the breakdown of stored fat while preserving lean muscle mass.

Appetite Control: May help reduce appetite through its effects on satiety hormones and neurotransmitter systems.

Improves Athletic Performance: Studies indicate synephrine can enhance physical performance and increase the number of calories burned during exercise.

Clinical Evidence: A 2012 meta-analysis in the International Journal of Medical Sciences found that bitter orange extract increases resting metabolic rate and energy expenditure. A 2011 study showed p-synephrine increases lipolysis in adipocytes.

Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum)

Key Active Compounds: Cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, eugenol, polyphenols

Weight Loss Benefits:

Regulates Blood Sugar Levels: Multiple studies demonstrate cinnamon's ability to improve insulin sensitivity by 20-30%, helping prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes that trigger hunger and fat storage.

Reduces Insulin Resistance: A 2003 study in Diabetes Care found that cinnamon improved glucose metabolism and reduced fasting glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Slows Carbohydrate Breakdown: Cinnamon inhibits digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates in the digestive tract, leading to a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Decreases Belly Fat Storage: By improving insulin function, cinnamon helps reduce visceral fat accumulation around the abdomen.

Enhances Thermogenesis: The cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon activates thermogenesis in fat tissue, increasing calorie burning.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: Chronic inflammation is linked to obesity; cinnamon's powerful anti-inflammatory compounds may support weight management.

Clinical Evidence: A 2017 meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials confirmed cinnamon's beneficial effects on body weight and composition. Studies show daily doses of 1-6 grams can improve metabolic markers.

Curcumin (from Turmeric - Curcuma longa)

Key Active Compounds: Curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin)

Weight Loss Benefits:

Suppresses Fat Tissue Growth: Research shows curcumin suppresses angiogenesis (blood vessel formation) in adipose tissue, which is necessary for fat tissue expansion.

Reduces Inflammation: Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. A 2015 study in the European Journal of Nutrition found curcumin supplementation significantly reduced body fat percentage and BMI.

Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Curcumin enhances insulin receptor function and glucose uptake in cells, helping prevent excess glucose from being stored as fat.

Increases Fat Metabolism: Activates AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), an enzyme that regulates metabolism and promotes fat burning.

Prevents Fat Accumulation: Studies show curcumin downregulates genes involved in fat cell differentiation and lipid storage.

Enhances Thermogenesis: May increase body temperature and metabolic rate, supporting increased calorie expenditure.

Clinical Evidence: A 2019 systematic review analyzing 1,646 participants found that curcumin supplementation significantly reduced body weight, BMI, and waist circumference. Studies typically use 500-2,000mg daily for metabolic benefits.

Individual results may vary

This product is intended to support a healthy diet and exercise program.

This supplement has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA. Consult with a healthcare professional before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.

You can take lid off and leave open to thicken to caramel like thickness if you prefer thicker.

Directions: It’s best to take it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. This is true of all diet remedies in my experience.

If you're trying for the first time, start with a very tiny amount and take first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Watch the clock and schedule your second serving before the first one wears off, usually 6-7 hours later.

DON'T take near bedtime. And DO NOT use your teeth to get off the spoon. It's like tar and you'll be regretting that, trying to get it off your teeth. LOL

"Hopefully everyone will share tips they learn using it or how it works best for them, so others can benefit." *Stephanie

Keep well out of reach of children or animals. Do not take while pregnant or nursing, or on prescription drugs. Wait until it takes effect before you drink or take any kind of stimulant like an energy drink or coffee. Like any herbal supplement safety has not been established, take at own risk. Always start with a rice grain size dosage until you figure out a dosage that is effective for you. Do not take if you have high blood pressure or heart issues or any health issues that won't tolerate stimulants. You KNOW it only takes one idiot to get the good diet aids banned, don't be that idiot and I'll keep sharing. If you don't like it, send it back and I'll refund.
