Green tea leaves are prized in traditional Chinese medicine for their rich profile of polyphenols, specifically catechins, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Recent decades of clinical research have shown that EGCG from green tea leaves has a vast range of therapeutic properties, notably antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and cardiometabolic benefits [1]. 

For example, green tea extract has been shown to significantly reduce oxidative stress in vascular tissue, fasting blood triglycerides, LDL cholesterol,and fasting blood glucose, all of which directly support healthy weight management [2].

Forskolin is a compound found in the roots of Coleus forskohlii, a tropical plant that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries.

Research has demonstrated that forskolin acts to increase a key messenger in cells called cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) [3]. In turn, the breakdown of fatty acids (lipolysis) and metabolic rate are upregulated. 

Forskolin also appears to enhance insulin sensitivity, thereby promoting enhanced utilization of carbohydrates and boosting energy levels. [4]

Caffeine is a well-documented ergogenic aid that enhances physical and cognitive performance. Research indicates that caffeine improves performance by reducing perceived exertion and delaying fatigue through adenosine receptor antagonism, increasing central nervous system excitability [5, 6]. 

In turn, caffeine can help increase calorie expenditure and facilitate lipolysis (fat breakdown) [7].

L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green tea known for its ability to promote nervous system relaxation without sedation. Research suggests that L-Theanine modulates nervous system function, resulting in improved attention, reaction time, and reduced stress. [8, 9]

Additionally, L-theanine has been shown to work in synergy with caffeine to support cognitive function and overall performance [10]. L-theanine may help smooth out the overstimulation sometimes caused by stimulants, preventing energy crashes and promoting sustained mental clarity.

This patented cayenne pepper extract uses innovative beadlet biotechnology to safely and effectively deliver highly concentrated capsaicinoids to the body. No upset stomach or GI distress that often comes from using a generic cayenne pepper extract supplement.

Capsaicinoids, notably capsaicin, are phytonutrients that have been shown in multiple studies to naturally support metabolic rate (i.e. calorie expenditure) and suppress appetite between meals [11, 12].

BioPerine® is a patented black pepper (Piper nigrum) fruit extract standardized for its piperine content. Piperine is a natural alkaloid known for its “bioenhancer” properties, improving the bioavailability of molecules that are typically poorly absorbed or extensively metabolized in the liver [13, 14].
