Mitotropin is a fat-burning product which comes with a 30-day diet plan. Aimed and marketed at bodybuilders, mitotropin is intended to be used in the month prior to a contest. The manufacturers of mitotropin claim that using this supplement and diet for a month before a contest can change your body composition, reducing your body fat without reducing muscle mass. Any diet plan or supplement can have negative side effects -- talk to your doctor before taking mitotropin.
Dosing
During the 30-day mitotropin diet, you will take three tablets in the morning, and three in the middle of the day or early afternoon. Your morning dose should be taken half an hour before you eat breakfast; the second dose of the day is taken six to eight hours after the first dose. If your weight is under 150 lbs., the manufacturer instructions indicate you should start with a dose of one or two tablets, twice a day.
Diet
The manual that comes with mitotropin specifies ideal dietary ratios of carbohydrates and protein to fat. In general, the mitotropin diet emphasizes heavy consumption of lean proteins and strict limits on carbohydrate and fat intake. During the 30-day period of taking mitotropin, you will need to adhere to either a 50-g or 100-g daily carbohydrate limit for optimum weight loss. Grilled or baked chicken is commonly used with the mitotropin diet due to its lean protein content and low carbohydrate value. The diet recommends eating six small meals daily rather than three large meals.
Active Ingredients
Mitotropin contains several thermogenic compounds including caffeine anhydrous and green tea. These thermogenics may increase your energy levels and give your metabolism a temporary boost. According to a 2009 article in the "Journal of The International Society of Sports Nutrition," such thermogenic compounds may contribute to weight loss by causing an increase in your overall energy expenditure. It was also noted that heart rate and blood pressure were both raised immediately after healthy study subjects consumed thermogenic compounds such as those found int mitotropin.
Considerations
The mitotropin diet is not intended for anyone other than healthy adults over the age of 21. It is dangerous to take more than six mitotropin tablets daily, and individuals with a sensitivity to caffeine or other stimulant substances should seek medical advice before taking mitotropin. If you have heart problems or stimulant-sensitive epilepsy, for example, the mitotropin diet may be dangerous for you. Stimulants may cause jitteriness, heart palpitations or insomnia, and can worsen anxiety or nervousness. Mitotropin should only be taken for a maximum of 30 days at a time, with at least 30 days off before starting again.
