If you're trying to shed extra pounds, you may consider taking an herbal diet aid. Before you buy, you should know what you're getting. While some diet aids work by suppressing appetite or causing you to excrete water, some products actually help you burn fat. Typically, these contain the herb ephedra, also commonly known by its Chinese name, ma huang. Many herbalists and health practitioners believe ephedra, when taken according to a specific protocol, can safely and effectively help you lose weight -- despite its reputation as a troublesome herb. When taken irresponsibly, though, ephedra may cause health problems. To combat these concerns, Baywood is proud to introduce METABOLIC Burn Tropin-EF™, an Ephedra-Free Fat Burner and Metabolic Support Formula. Advantages of METABOLIC Burn Tropin-EF™ for weight loss include: Enhancement of Natural Thermogenesis without Ephedra Regulation of Metabolism* Safe and Effective Support for Metabolic Rate as Part of a Diet Program While Maintaining Healthy Cognitive Function* METABOLIC Burn Tropin-EF™ contains: L-Tyrosine. Tyrosine plays a big part in human energy levels. When Tyrosine enters the brain, it is engaged by vitamins and minerals. This process metamorphosizes tyrosine into norepinephrine and dopamine. These two chemicals aid in the release of stored body fat, regulate metabolism and control appetite. They also stimulate your sex drive, immune system and pituitary to release Growth Hormone. These components make Tyrosine an excellent stimulant free energy booster and fat burner. Green Tea. Green Tea increases resting energy expenditure by 4% which in turn burns more calories. In addition, green tea extract contains a considerable amount of catechin polyphenols. These compounds work with other chemicals to upgrade levels of fat oxidation and thermogenisis, where the body burns fat to create heat. Thermogenisis, by green tea extract, does not raise heart rates or blood pressure. This makes green tea superior to ephedra or other stimulants, which can have negative cardiac effects, especially in over-weight individuals with hypertension. Zhi Shi (Bitter Orange). Bitter Orange, commonly known as Zhi Shi, has been used for thousands of years to promote weight loss by enabling the body to accelerate the removal of fat stores. This process safely induces thermogenesis, the body's ability to burn fat. Coleus Forskohlii. Coleus has the incredible ability to raise levels of a particular enzyme called adenylate cyclase. This enzyme raises the conversion rate of ATP to cAMP in the body. cAMP is known as a key regulator of the metabolism and fat burning. This process allows your body to better utilize fatty acids for energy. Hydroxy Citric Acid (HCA) or Garcinia Cambogia. Hydroxy Citric Acid acts as an appetite suppressant. It also has the ability to inhibit an enzyme responsible for the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. HCA can influence weight loss by helping humans to eat less and potentially modify their metabolism, so that they don't convert carbohydrates to fat at a normal rate. Mucuna Puriens. Mucuna yields therapeutic L-dopa known as a cognitive agent and as an anti-depressant. Depression is a leading cause of overeating and craving foods high in sugar like chocolate and deserts. Mild depression can occur in individuals especially when dieting. L-dopa increases levels of dopamine in the brain and causes the secretion of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. Growth hormone is notorious for its effects as an anti-catabolic [muscle sparing] agent and for its fat burning qualities. Guggulsterones (Standardized guggul). Guggulsterones have been shown to trigger the output of thyroid hormones T4 and T3. The stimulation of these two hormones prevent the loss in metabolic rate while dieting. This process also influences the body to maintain normal or higher thyroid output, which positively effects the body's metabolic rate. The higher a person's metabolic rate will equate to more calories that will be burned and greater fat loss. Enhances Natural Thermogenes
