The term thermogenic supplement is the term used for supplements that are marketed to increase metabolic rate and motivate your body to burn more calories than it would otherwise. If you burn more calories--through your metabolism, exercise and other activities--than you burn each day, you'll lose weight. Because of this, thermogenic supplements can give you a boost when you don't have time to work out as long as you should or if your diet isn't perfect. Thermogenic supplements may also suppress your appetite, which is helpful when dieting. Before taking any thermogenic supplements, you should consult your doctor.
Nutrex Lipo 6
According to Bodybuilding.com, Nutrex Lipo 6 is one of the top-rated thermogenic supplements available. Nutrex Lipo 6 is ephedra-free and contains stimulants and other ingredients intended to increase your metabolism and provide energy. Main ingredients in Lipo 6 include the stimulants caffeine and yohimbine as well as guggulsterones. According to Bodybuilding.com, guggulsterones are an effective dietary aid promoting thyroid function. Your thyroid gland is involved in the maintenance of your metabolic rate. A low calorie intake may slow down your metabolic rate, so guggulsterones may help mitigate this effect, though results may vary.
Isatori MX-LS7
According to the fat burner information and review website UltimateFatBurner.com, Isatori's MX-LS7 is one of the most effective thermogenic supplements, containing a number of thyroid-stimulating ingredients, such as guggulsterones, L-tyrosine and evodiamine. In addition, UltimateFatBurner.comalso notes that Isatori MX-LS7 is formulated to improve your focus when exercising, and is based upon ingredients that have been shown to be effective in research studies. Despite these claims, your results may vary.
Force Factor Ramp Up
According to supplement website GNC, Force Factor Ramp Up is a thermogenic supplement formulated with caffeine to increase metabolic rate and provide energy. In addition, Ramp Up's ingredients include yerba mate, cayenne, and green tea extract. Research indicates combining green tea extract and caffeine is effective for fat loss--a study from the December 1999 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the two ingredients significantly increased fat oxidation. Fat oxidation is the burning of fat for energy, a desirable outcome when dieting.
