Botanicals: 

Burdock Root: Burdock Root helps to stimulate metabolism of fats in the body. It also supports the process of lipolysis, which aids the body to burn stored fats in an effective manner. Additionally, burdock root is full of antioxidants, including quercetin, luteolin, and phenolic acids which protect cells from damage due to free radicals. 

Chickweed: Chickweed is a powerful weight loss aid as it helps to cleanse and rejuvenate by helping the body dissolve and shed excess fat cells, resulting in increased breakdown of fat molecules. Chickweed improves digestion and causes a delayed absorption of dietary fats and carbs in the intestines.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon helps to boost the metabolism and promotes fat burning by increasing the process of thermogenesis or the body’s production of heat by up to 20%, resulting in the burning of more calories. Additionally, it aids in reducing appetite and curbing cravings.

Dandelion Root: Dandelion Root contains diuretic qualities which boosts weight loss by helping the body to rid itself of excess fluid. When consumed prior to meals, Dandelion Root helps to stimulate gastric secretions which contributes to the breakdown of fat and cholesterol. It also inhibits the activity of pancreatic lipase—which is released during fat digestion—promoting weight loss and reducing fat absorption.

Eleuthero Root: Eleuthero helps increase energy, reduce fatigue, and boost athletic performance. It increases blood flow to the brain and improves cognitive function. Eleuthero is beneficial in reducing cravings for sweets and is helpful in reducing stress eating.

Fennel Seed: Fennel Seed is a natural appetite suppressant and is an excellent source of fiber which helps you stay fuller for longer, reducing cravings and overeating. It reduces fat storage by promoting the absorption of vitamins and minerals in the body. 

Ginger Root: Ginger Root increases thermogenesis, or the body’s production of heat resulting in the burning of more calories. It reduces inflammation and stimulates digestions, all while suppressing the appetite. The compounds, gingerols, are responsible for helping food to digest faster and stabilizing blood sugar levels. 

Green Tea Leaf: Green Tea Leaf contains the compound caffeine which is a well-known stimulant which aids in fat burning and improves exercise performance. It also contains a tremendous amount of antioxidants called catechins, most notably the catechin, epigallocatechin gallate (or EGCG), which is known to boost metabolism. 

Guarana Seed: Guarana Seed contains caffeine which is a stimulant that promotes fat burning by boosting the metabolism. Studies have shown Guarana Seed to boost your metabolism by 3-11% over 12 hours resulting in more calories burned at rest. Guarana may even suppress genes that aid fat cell production and promote genes that slow it down.

Licorice Root: Licorice Root contains glycyrrhetinic acid which has been shown to result in decreased body fat. Additionally, Licorice alleviates GI symptoms including heartburn, stomach ulcers, colitis, gastritis and inflammation in the lining of the stomach.
