Gym Squad Supps' newest fat burner!

Gym Squads Supps’ newest fat burner will soon be landing on our shelves at The Little Supplement Company. Stepping away from generic high stimulant fat burners, ‘Jacked, Ripped, Cut, Night & Day’ is a low stimulant product jam packed with proven lipotropic agents. If your wanting to try a quality fat burner without the jitters or anxiousness some high stimulant products provide, this is certainly one to consider!

Choline, an essential nutrient for human health, plays a lipotropic role in lipid (fat) metabolism (Liz, Agellon and Vance, 2005; Corbin and Zeisel, 2012). Individuals deficient in choline are at risk of developing non-alcholic fatty liver disease along with a myriad of other metabolic disorders (Zeisel, 2011). Choline supplementation has been shown not only to improve hepatic lipid metabolism (Zhu, 2014), but significantly reduce athletes body mass over one week (Elsawy, Abdelrahman and Hamza, 2014).

Myo Inositol is a carbocylic sugar which is found in the brain and various other tissues. A review by Croze and Soulage (2013) highlights Myo Inositol’s insulin-sensitizing effect and ability to reduce insulin resistance. Furthermore, myo inositol supplementation in combination with a 6 month diet has been shown to significantly accelerate weight loss in obese women (Donne et al., 2019).

Methionine, an essential amino acid, stimulates the secretion of somatotropin (growth hormone) which plays a key role in lipid metabolism (Gertner, 1992). Additionally, due to its lipotropic role, the sulphur present in methionine prevents excess hepatic fat accumulation (Mato, Martínez-Chantar and Lu, 2008). 

Paradoxine (Grains of Paradise/aframomum melegueta) is a herb in the same family as ginger which shares many similar bioactives. The herb has been shown to increase whole body energy expenditure and activate stubborn brown fat (Sugita et al., 2013). Paradoxine, a trademarked form of rains of paradise, contains a powerful antioxidant 6-paradol which helps reduce adipose tissue accumulation.

Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit native to India and Southeast Asia. Its high amount of Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) have been shown to significantly increase fat loss in humans by supressing appetite, inhibiting adenosine triphosphate-citrate-lyase and reducing carbohydrate metabolism (Onakpoya et al., 2011).

Coleus forskohlii is a traditional Ayurvdic herb which has been used for many centuries. Its main bioactive ingredient forskohlii, increases cellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) (Sapio et al., 2016). Increased levels of cAMP are associated with accelerated fat loss and acts in synergy with other fat burning compounds to increase their effectiveness.
