[Fucoxanthin] Thermodiamine
Thermodiamine, otherwise known as Evodiamine, is isolated from the unripe fruit of Evodia Rutaecarpa. In a recent study, (Kobayashi Y et al, 2001) when evodiamine was supplemented at 0.02% in the form of ethanol extract of Evodia fruits in a high-fat diet for 21 days, the body weight, perirenal fat weight and epididymal fat weight were found to be significantly reduced compared to the control group. The treated groups on a high fat diet gained significantly less body fat than the control groups. Thermodiamine appears to support an increase in lipolytic (fat burning) activity through several mechanisms. Similar to the action of cayenne pepper, evodiamine appears to effect receptors known as vanilloids. These receptors are involved in the regulation of body temperature. However, it does so without the common side effects of burning and indigestion. Secondly, evodiamine may support an increased output of catecholamines. Since catecholamines are intimately involved in fat loss, evodiamine assists in supporting healthy fat oxidizing pathways. Studies suggest evodiamine may support an increase in peripheral heat loss. This result indicates an increase in energy expenditure.
Apidexin
Fucoxanthin - obtained from Japanese Wakame seaweed. It's thought to be one of the first types of marine vegetation originating on the planet over one billion years ago. Some scientific studies suggest that a pigment in this seaweed found in the form of a carotenoid called Fucoxanthin, may hold answers to targeting and reducing abdominal fat. It has thermogenic properties that can help increase the body's metabolic rate. It may support healthy liver function, an important factor in weight management since the liver promotes the efficient utilization of fat and facilitates the removal of cholesterol by-products from the bloodstream. According to Kazuo Miyashita, leader of the study funded by the Japanese government: "Since the abdominal area contains abundant adipose tissue, the compound might be effective at shrinking oversized guts."
