EGCG – Containing the highest-potency pure green tea extract available, EGCG enhances thermogenesis (fat-burning) and is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

L-Carnitine – Carnitine ushers fat into the mitochondria (the “powerhouse”) of cells, enhancing fat-burning.

ts_capsules_sm2NT Factor – Promotes metabolism, maintains the integrity of cell membranes and supports optimal mitochondrial function.

Orthomega – Essential fatty acids are depleted by the standard American diet, which contains unhealthy fats. Orthomega provides EPA and DHA, crucial to proper biochemical functioning; it has been shown to combat insulin resistance that leads to fat accumulation around the midsection.

Capsiate Natura – Enhances metabolism with the help of capsinoids. In numerous clinical studies, capsiate has been shown to increase metabolism without any side effects.

Chromemate Chromium GTF – A critical trace element which helps facilitate uptake of glucose into the cells, stabilizing blood sugar and cravings.

Dimpro – A dietary supplement that restores hormonal balance, which may help to reverse hormonal weight gain.

L-Glutamine – A critical amino acid in the maintenance of gut integrity with the added bonus of helping to alleviate sugar cravings.

WellBetX PGX – A proprietary soluble fiber complex and sugar blocker.

5-HTP – 5-hydroxytryptophan is a direct metabolic precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation and satiety.
