GLOBESITY FOUNDATION – My Healthy Weight Bootcamp
L-Tyrosine is a precursor for dopamine and norepinephrine, which may help to promote weight loss through increased body activity and thermogenesis and decreased appetite.
Tyrosine (aka 4-hydroxyphenylalanine) is a non-essential amino acid used in the synthesis of certain neurotransmitters including dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, as well as thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine (Rosebrough 1994).
GLOBESITY Bootcamp regimen requires an intermittent fasting rule which accounts for ~5% body weight loss in one month. Assuming that the average client is about 100 lbs (45 kg) overweight and weighs about 260 lbs (118 kg), this equates to 13 lbs (6 kg) a month or 13% total body weight reduction.
Fructus Rubi decreases body weight (by 2%) and fat mass (by ~8%) due to increased norepinephrine-induced lipolysis and suppresses lipid accumulation. For an average overweight individual of 118 kg (260 lbs), this is a decrease in 2.4 kg (5.3 lbs) weight and 9.44 kg (21 lbs) fat mass.
Fructus Rubi increases insulin sensitivity promoting better blood glucose control.
The human body is composed of ~75% water, which plays an important role in every bodily function. Hydrated a person is more efficient in body performance ranging from thinking to burning body fat. Water intake aids in weight loss. It suppresses appetite, boosts metabolism, and makes exercise more effective. Drinking more water promotes satiation, as it passes through the system and stretches the stomach, resulting in fullness. Drinking water also stimulates heat production in the body, resulting in a higher rate of metabolism.
Higenamine stimulates fat burning and energy expenditure and reduces energy absorption by slowing gastric motility, resulting in weight loss and a healthier body fat ratio.
Higenamine decreases hormones involved with hunger and cravings such as dopamine, ghrelin, and neuropeptide.
Higenamine improves insulin secretion and sensitivity and blood glucose levels and benefits diabetics by increasing the glucose uptake into cells by up to 200%.
