Common Ingredients Found in Fat Burning Supplements  by: Chester Ku-Lea The term commonly used with fat burning supplements is often thermogenics, which as the name suggests, has to do with temperature. These supplements have been shown to help increase the body's temperature enabling the body's ability to burn calories as heat; to be used as energy, thereby preventing them from being stored a fat. Effective thermogenic supplements are those that contain key ingredients that create a fat burning 'thermogenic' environment by working together and in synergy. Some of these ingredients also aid in reducing appetite and spiking an increase in short-term energy. Such common ingredients are: Alpha Lipoic Acid • Prevents cellular damage (from free radicals), reduces oxidative stress, lowers blood sugar • Increases energy levels • Powerful insulin potentiator Banana leaf extract • Balances blood sugar levels • Transports blood sugar into the cells and aids in controlling carbohydrate cravings Cayenne • Raises the body's metabolic rate Citrus Aurantium • A highly effective calorie and fat burner • Helps to burn fat, and does not affect the central nervous system • Increases energy levels CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid • An important fatty acid that has been shown to reduce the body's ability to store fat and increase the body's use of fat for energy.
