Natural & Effective Fat Burning Supplements
Fat burners are supplements containing active ingredients that, when combined with a well‑balanced diet and physical activity, support fat loss and weight reduction. These ingredients help the body make better use of stored fat as an energy source, increase energy expenditure for heat production, or reduce appetite.
How Does Fat Burner Work?
The active ingredients in fat burners usually work based on one of the above‑mentioned bodily mechanisms. To maximise the desired effect, fat burners often use a "synergistic effect," which is simply the combination of multiple active ingredients in one supplement. This can lead to:
- Supporting the release of fatty acids from fat tissue and their subsequent use as an energy source (especially during physical activity);
- Increasing heat production, and therefore total energy expenditure;
- Reducing appetite and food intake;
- Stimulating better training performance, resulting in greater energy expenditure.
How to Trigger Fat Burning Process?
Don’t expect miracles from fat burners, and remember, nothing comes for free. If you're trying to lose weight or reduce body fat, some general recommendations to keep in mind are:
- Maintaining a calorie deficit (energy expenditure greater than intake);
- Regular physical activity;
- Adequate protein intake to preserve muscle mass;
- Only then incorporating a fat burner into your supplement regimen.
When it comes to physical activity, you don't need to monitor a specific heart rate for fat loss. Both high- and low‑intensity exercises can be included in your training, as long as you can complete the entire session. The key is regular physical activity.
When to Take a Fat Burner?
As mentioned earlier, fat burners work best in combination with physical activity. It’s generally recommended to take a fat burner around 30 minutes before physical activity. Timing it with your last meal is also important—allow a gap for better absorption (unless sensitive individuals experience digestive issues).
Common Fat‑Burning Ingredients
The most common active ingredients in fat burners include:
- Caffeine is one of the most popular psychoactive substances and stimulants, and it also acts as an effective fat burner. Caffeine promotes thermogenesis (heat production) in the body.
- Synephrine increases thermogenesis and overall energy expenditure by activating specific receptors. It also partially reduces appetite.
- EGCG (from green tea extract) indirectly prolongs the effectiveness of substances that promote the release of fatty acids from fat tissue. It works best in combination with other ingredients.
- CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a natural substance found in small amounts in dairy fat and meat. CLA regulates fat cell production and storage in the body.
- Carnitine is a naturally occurring substance that helps transport fatty acids into mitochondria, where they are used as an energy source. Carnitine helps increase fat‑burning potential, but supplementation is only effective in people who are deficient (such as vegetarians or those on a keto diet).
Other ingredients often found in fat burners include various forms of chromium, ginger, or cinnamon, which prevent insulin spikes and thus reduce hunger or cravings for sweets. Guarana or capsaicin (from chili) also aid in thermogenesis. Bioperine, an extract from black pepper, helps improve the absorption of green tea extract.
How to Choose a Fat Burner?
If you don’t own a chemistry set and don’t want to mix your own fat burner, the simplest solution is to opt for comprehensive fat burners that rely on the synergistic effect mentioned earlier. The most common combination is caffeine, synephrine, and EGCG, which together have one of the highest fat‑burning potentials. Additional ingredients usually increase thermogenesis, support fat metabolism, or protect the oxidation of active ingredients. That’s exactly what our Fat Burner 2.0 offers, combining 10 synergistic ingredients based on the latest scientific findings.
What to Watch Out For?
Be cautious of products promising "guaranteed weight loss" from the comfort of your couch without any physical activity, or "unique formulas" specifically for women or targeting belly fat. These don’t exist and probably never will—fat loss simply doesn’t happen without movement and a proper diet. While men and women are different, when it comes to fat burning, we’re nearly the same.
