WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS

ACCELERATORS

Information: weight loss supplements. Calorie Wasting Supplements (Krebs Cycle, Mitochondriacs, Fat transporters, glucose transporters, thyroid hormone stimulators, etc.) A number of dietary supplements claim to waste calories by speeding up your metabolism in a variety of different ways. Some claim to stimulate your thyroid gland and increase production of active thyroid hormones.

An example is Tiratricol which is a substance the FDA considers dangerous and is taking steps to remove from the market. Other dietary supplements claim to have a stimulating effect on the selective uptake and burning of glucose by muscle which they claim helps weight control by wasting calories while building muscle.

Garcinia Cambogia (also known as Brindleberry) and Chromium picolinate (and other chromium supplements) are examples of this type. Others, like Capsicum or Capsaicin, claim to have a specific effect on heat production, which is a calorie wasting process.

Still others like Pyruvate and the Ephedra compounds discussed above claim to have a general effect as a metabolism accelerator or calorie waster. The general criticism of these compounds is that they are not well studied from the standpoint of either effectiveness or safety.

As discussed above, the Ephedra compounds are clearly unsafe. There are also disturbing reports about the safety of chromium supplements suggesting they may have a damaging effect on the genetic material inside cells. Shape Up America! advises against the use of any of these compounds for weight loss or any other purpose.
