Synephrine

Synephrine is the main "active" compound found in the fruit of a plant called Citrus aurantium. Researchers at Mercer University in Atlanta suggest that Citrus aurantium extract (because it targets fat tissue rather than heart tissue) has no effect on hemodynamics such as heart rate.

Synephrine is known for providing an energy boost, suppressing appetite, and increasing metabolic rate and caloric expenditure. Two new studies suggest that synephrine-containing supplements help promote weight loss, and at least three clinical studies suggest an enhanced thermogenesis (calorie expenditure) from these supplements. There is a great deal of research currently underway into the weight loss benefits of synephrine and supplements with related thermogenic effects.

Green Tea Extract

In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers suggested that subjects who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned 43% more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo. Green Tea when mixed with caffeine is a powerful thermogenic. The caffeine frees fatty acids so you burn fat more easily. And the polyphenols (antioxidant compounds) in green tea appear to work with caffeine to increase the total number of calories burned. Studies suggest that green tea extract may boost human metabolism in a way that causes increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation. In simple terms, green tea can help burn more calories.

Caffeine

Caffeine increases the rate that body fat is converted to usable energy. Taking in 200-300 mg. of caffeine before a lifting or cardio session dramatically increases the number of calories burned. Caffeine also increases resting metabolic rate which translates to more calories burned!
