Weight Loss Supplements are Thermogenic
Muscular Development
Thermogenic supplements and drugs increase metabloism and fat use. They work by increasing the secretion of adrenaline (epinephrine), which speeds Metabolism and puTs the body on general alert. While many supplment makers claim there products are thermogenic, few supply any evidence of their effectiveness.
Danish reserchers studied the thermogenic effects of common weight loss supplement components such as caffeine, catechins, capsaicin, and tyrosine by blocking epinephrine release with drugs called beta-blockers. The supplements decreased metabloic rate by 25 percent following administration of the beta blocking drug Pranalol, which showed that they are thermogenic.
The subjects experienced no decrease in appetite. So, weight loss supplements containing caffeine, catechins, capasaicin, and tyrosine work by increasing metabolic rate rather than by decreasing appetite. (Metabolism Clinical and Experimental, 58 1137-1144, 2009)
