#3 Green Coffee
Bean Extract
It has the
power to inhibit fat accumulation and modulate glucose metabolism. Its main
active ingredient is believed to be chlorogenic acid, which can reduce the
absorption of carbohydrates from the digestive tract, and lower blood sugar.
If this is
true, then taking green coffee bean extract would be like eating a slightly
lower carbohydrate diet.
Green
coffee bean extract can reduce body weight, reduce fat stored in the liver, improve
the function of adiponectin (a fat burning hormone) and drastically reduce cholesterol
and triglyceride levels.
#2 Panax Ginseng
A clinical
trial reported that obese women receiving red ginseng experienced significant
reduction in BMI, waist hip ratio, body weight, and food intake, compared to
the group that received a placebo.
Ginseng
exerts anti-obesity effect by manipulating genes involved in lipid metabolism
and influencing hormones such as leptin, insulin and adiponectin that are
involved in fat and cholesterol metabolism.
It can also reduce fat tissue but stopping angiogenesis.
#1 Primula Tree
Extract
Have you
ever heard of it? Probably not, right? Primula are native to the temperate
northern hemisphere, tropical mountains in Ethiopia,
Indonesia and New Guinea, and South
America. Most of the known species are from the Himalayas
According
to a study, published in the Chemistry & Biology journal, one of its
compounds called 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) mimics the physiological
effects of a hormone known as BDNF, which gets produced after exercise and
tells the body to burn more energy while reducing appetite. Primula Tree Extract is thought to
be the next big thing in weight loss, because it may allow people to maintain a healthy weight despite following
a high-fat diet.
