Scivation LipidFX
Superior Fat Burning and Appetite Suppression
Everyone who has ever dieted for an extended period time knows that the hardest part about dieting is controlling your appetite. Many products on the market today that aim to decrease appetite, yet many of these simply do not work well enough. Losing weight is a battle fought by calories in vs. calories out. If you continuously eat more calories than you burn, then it is not possible to lose weight.
In addition to controlling appetite, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiast constantly worry about preserving muscle tissue and losing only fat during the dieting process. Few people want to work hard to gain muscle and then lose it when dieting to cut.
After extensive research, Scivation has created LipidFX, a supplement that activates PPAR-alpha. This activation causes an increase in fat oxidation, along with decreased appetite and improving insulin sensitivity. LipidFX is comprised of three fatty acids: Oleoylethanolamide, Stearoylethanolamide, TetradecylThioacetic Acid, as well as EGCG.
These ingredients have been shown to help:
Maximize Fat Burn
Support Appetite Control
Promote Optimal Cardiovascular Health
Scivation LipidFX is a precise, scientifically advanced formulation of Lipolytic Lipids, fatty acids that can increase metabolic rate, significantly support appetite control and immune health, help support healthy lipid profiles and insulin levels and promote optimal cardiovascular health. LipidFX can also assist the body to burn fat instead of muscle while in a calorie-deficient state. LipidFX is perhaps the biggest breakthrough in healthy fat loss to date!
Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPAR):
The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPAR) receptor family is divided into three subgroups: alpha, delta/beta, and gamma. PPARalpha is highly present in muscle, the liver, kidneys, and heart and is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, specifically the transcription of the genes involved in the burning of fatty acids and the storage of fatty acids.
The end result is more fat loss. Activation of PPAR-alpha would be very beneficial for any bodybuilder or fitness enthusiast looking to lose fat or watch their weight.
PhosphoLean: Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) and EGCG:
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is an endogenous lipid being investigated as a potential anti-obesity drug. OEA is synthesized in the intestines. Its synthesis becomes increased with food intake but decreases with fasting. OEA has been shown to have anorexic properties that decrease food intake. OEA is also an activator of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptor Alpha. Activation of PPARalpha by OEA will cause an increase in fat oxidation along with a decrease in fat storage, creating an ideal environment for fat loss. OEA’s ability to decrease appetite and regulate body weight is accomplished by the activation of PPARalpha. Standard OEA typically has poor bioavailability so Scivation uses Phospholean, a form of OEA that is protected from destruction in the stomach.
Green tea extract (EGCG) has been a popular supplement for a while, but more and more research is confirming not only its many health benefits, but its ability to promote fat loss. In addition to multiple animal studies showing green tea to lead to fat loss published just this year, a three month double-blind, placebo controlled study on thirty men was published in the January 2005 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Compared to the placebo group, those who ingested catechins (the beneficial compounds in green tea that extracts are standardized for) daily lost more weight and more fat. While the earlier research was more preliminary, this study confirms the ability of green tea to lead to fat loss in humans.
Recent research has also given us a better picture of how green tea leads to fat loss. The more well-known mechanisms are catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibition, decreased dietary fat absorption, and increased levels of some hormones that suppress the appetite. A study published last year suggested yet another mechanism: when given to rats, green tea depressed the activity of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in fat tissue, while increasing GLUT4 activity in muscle tissue. What this means is that fuel was being shunted away from fat and towards muscle. Not only does green tea assist weight loss, it can also lead to the preferential loss of fat over muscle. This is a great asset, since maintaining muscle mass is one of the hardest things to do on a diet.
A new study has discovered the phytochemicals in green tea are better used by the body in supplemental form rather than from actual green tea. The main catechin responsible for the thermogenic effect of green tea extract is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Studies show it can increase metabolism by about 4%. That equates to more than 100 extra calories burned per day for most males. EGCG inhibits the enzyme responsible for the degradation of NE. By preventing NE breakdown, its fat burning effect is stronger and lasts longer.
TetradecylThioacetic Acid (TTA)
TetradecylThioacetic Acid (TTA) is another PPARalpha activator that works in conjunction with OEA in increasing the oxidation of fatty acids and decreasing the storage of fatty acids. TTA has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity by increasing hepatic fat oxidation and ketogenesis while draining fatty acids from the blood and extrahepatic tissues. Increased insulin sensitivity means less insulin needs to be secreted to accomplish a given task. This is beneficial while dieting because insulin is anti-lipolytic.
