Fat Loss Supplements Guide

There are many different types of fat loss supplements on the market today. The Supplement Site sells a great and varied range of fat loss products. We have prepared this guide to help you. The supplements have been broken down into categories to assist you, however many of our supplements will fall into more than one category.

Thermogenic Fat Loss Supplements:

Thermogenics are perhaps the most popular and effective fat loss supplements available. They include some of the most advanced supplements available and start from around £15.00. Most thermogenics contain stimulants (such as caffeine) and are designed to increase the body's metabolism and burn fat by increasing the number of calories the body burns. Stimulants can increase energy and therefore can cause sleeplessness (although this can generally be avoided by not taking the product closely before bed time. Stimulants can also increase blood pressure, some people may therefore prefer not to use Thermogenics.

Fat and Carb Blockers:

Fat Blockers contain Chitosan, Carb Blockers contain phaseolamin (white kidney bean extract). Fat and carb blockers block fat from a meal by binding to the nutrient in the digestive tract. Chitosan can absorb up to 7 times its on weight! These supplements can be useful when on a diet and the temptation to eat some naught food becomes too great. They are not however a licence to eat whatever you like, whenever you like and still expect to lose weight, they should be used occasionally and can be very effective.

Thyroid Supplements:

Thyroid supplements are designed to increase your natural thyroid levels and therefore boost metabolism, resulting in a greater number of calories being burned. This will enable diet and exercise to be more efficient, resulting in greater fat loss. Most of our Thyroid Supplements contain guggulsterones. Guggulsterones have been shown to stimulate the thyroid gland, converting T4 into T3.

Appetite Suppressants:

Obviously if you eat less food then you lose weight, but being on a calorie restrictive diet can make this hard. Appetite Suppressants make your diet easier to control and stick to your planned amount of calories. Some of this products may also help your cravings for sugary or fatty foods to be reduced. Basically these supplements make a diet more comfortable. Please be aware many of our supplements will fall into more than one category.

CLA & Essential Fatty Acids (EFA):

CLA can increase muscle mass and reduce body fat, it has also been shown to have anti-catabolic, antioxidant properties and assist with the immune system. CLA is a naturally occurring nutrient with the ability to help you pack on lean muscle, reduce body fat and at the same time possesses health promoting properties. Please be aware many of our supplements will fall into more than one category.

EFAs also impart powerful thermogenic effects. This means EFAs increase fat burning by causing your body to use stored body fat as the preferred source of energy. GLA (an essential fatty acid) is vital in supporting the production of two strong fat burning hormones; growth hormone and the bodys primary calorie burning hormone, thyroid hormone.
