Leyla Weighs In: Supplement recommendations for supporting healthy weight loss and optimizing metabolic efficiency
EGCG – Containing the highest-potency pure green tea extract available, EGCG enhances thermogenesis (fat-burning) and is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
L-Carnitine – Carnitine ushers fat into the mitochondria (the “powerhouse”) of cells, enhancing fat-burning.
NT Factor – Promotes metabolism, maintains the integrity of cell membranes and supports optimal mitochondrial function.
Orthomega – Essential fatty acids are depleted by the standard American diet, which contains unhealthy fats. Orthomega provides EPA and DHA, crucial to proper biochemical functioning; it has been shown to combat insulin resistance that leads to fat accumulation around the midsection.
Capsiate Natura – Enhances metabolism with the help of capsinoids. In numerous clinical studies, capsiate has been shown to increase metabolism without any side effects.
Chromemate Chromium GTF – A critical trace element which helps facilitate uptake of glucose into the cells, stabilizing blood sugar and cravings.
Dimpro – A dietary supplement that restores hormonal balance, which may help to reverse hormonal weight gain.
L-Glutamine – A critical amino acid in the maintenance of gut integrity with the added bonus of helping to alleviate sugar cravings.
WellBetX PGX – A proprietary soluble fiber complex and sugar blocker.
5-HTP – 5-hydroxytryptophan is a direct metabolic precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation and satiety.
