2. Forskolin
What is it?
Forskolin is a compound extracted from the root of the Indian coleus plant (Coleus forskohlii), traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine.
How does it work?
Forskolin activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in cells. Elevated cAMP levels may promote fat breakdown and increase metabolic activity.
Benefits:
- May support fat loss by stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown).
- Potentially preserves lean body mass during calorie restriction.
- Some evidence suggests it may improve overall body composition.
Risks and Side Effects:
- Potential interactions with blood pressure or heart medications.
- May cause dizziness or nausea in some individuals.
- Results are inconsistent across studies.
3. Stimulant Blend Supplements
What are they?
These supplements typically contain ingredients like caffeine, green tea extract, synephrine, or guarana, designed to boost energy and metabolism.
How do they work?
Stimulants increase the release of norepinephrine, a hormone that enhances alertness and thermogenesis. They may also suppress appetite, leading to reduced calorie intake.
Benefits:
- Increased energy levels, supporting exercise performance.
- Enhanced focus and alertness.
- Potential for moderate weight loss when combined with a calorie deficit.
Risks and Side Effects:
- May cause jitteriness, anxiety, or insomnia.
- Can lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure.
- Long-term use may result in tolerance or dependency.
