Weight loss is once again a priority for 2011 as Americans endeavor to be physically fit and lose weight in the fastest way possible. The weight reduction and sports nutrition markets are multi-billion dollar industries filled with weight loss drinks, vitamins, and various supplements aimed at achieving optimal physical conditioning. In addition to wanting to lose weight, Americans seek to find ways to quickly burn fat while hoping to control their appetite. The products designed to tackle these issues have been available for years but kept secret by a small segment of the population.

The classes of products attempting to meet these expectations are those formulated with thermogenics in mind. Thermogenics is heat production. Drugs or substances that increase body heat through metabolic stimulation are thermogenic. Thermogenesis is an advanced scientific concept, but simply means how increasing the consumption of some substances can help speed metabolism, burn fat, and ultimately lead to significant weight loss. Thermogenics are a class of supplements that access a variety of methods to raise a person’s metabolism. By raising a person’s metabolism, weight loss if done correctly is the result. Thermogenics are popular in many bodybuilding supplements because weightlifters want to enhance their workouts by boosting muscle mass gains, and decreasing their fat levels

Originally formulated for use by serious athletes and bodybuilders, thermogenic supplements are now widely available to the mainstream public. In 2010, Goliath Labs from New York spared no expense in their pursuit to develop a powerful supplement that accelerates Thermogenesis. Thermogenesis influences the body’s metabolic rate and leads to an increase in fat and calories burned. When stimulated, thermogenics can concurrently increase a person’s energy levels and help speed fat oxidation. Thermogenics are enhanced by ingestion of various substances including bitter orange, ephedra, capsicum, ginger and pyruvate. Caffeine and EGCG found in green tea extract also increases Thermogenesis.

When investigating weight loss products that are available on the market today, the consumer will be barraged with 100’s of supplement brands claiming to burn fat and accelerate the body’s ability to speed metabolism. The market is filled with metabolism boosters, appetite control suppressants and diuretics. Even with the addition of thermogenic supplements, it is important to consume food in moderation and become educated on what foods provide or lack nutrition.

Like some dietary supplement companies, Goliath Labs approaches the science of fat burning through multiple pathways such as increased metabolic rate, greater appetite control, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and decreased fat/carbohydrate absorption. Taken as a daily dietary supplement or prior to weight training or cardiovascular activity, thermogenic supplements can provide a long-lasting burst of energy to help optimize performance and increase the results of dieting. The addition of green tea extract, citrimax, bitter orange and other ingredients are excellent compounds that can enhance Thermogenesis. Although bodybuilders, athletes, and weightlifters have historically been the primary consumers of thermogenic products, these additives are now entering the mainstream dieting industry at a feverish pace. Weight loss and burning fat are now realistic results by regularly ingesting nutritional products that enhance Thermogenesis.
