Best Weight Loss Supplements

The weight problem in the world is no secret. One in three people in the world is qualified as obese. Store shelves are packed with weight loss supplements promising to help you drop pounds, lose inches and burn fat fast.

Most of us spend much of our efforts researching and buying things we think would help but end up disappointed when we step up the scale.

The safest and best way to burn more fat is to lower your daily intake of calories. However, when you compel yourself to eat less, it becomes harder to stick to over time. Hence, any natural supplement helps decrease your appetite without having us forcefully restrict it. This makes fat loss look a whole lot easier and more natural.

This blog will help you identify the best weight loss supplement that will suit you.

1. African mango kernels (Irvingia Gabonensis)

The African mango is exceptionally effective as a weight loss aid.

Let’s look at the science behind weight loss when considering the African mango as a weight loss supplement:

A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study was conducted on 120 participants. Each of them was given 150 milligrams of the African mango before their meals, twice per day. There was also a placebo group. There was no difference in their diet, exercise, or anything else, except for the group given 150 milligrams of the African mango.

The participant that was given the African mango showed the following results:

• A decrease in body weight.
• Their body fat was reduced.
• The participants had a reduction in their waist circumference.
• As a bonus, their cholesterol levels were also decreasing.

Why does the African mango have a profound effect on a person’s health, not by changing diet or exercising?

• The African mango regulates leptin which is a hormone that controls hunger.
• The supplement decreases adipogenesis or the making of new fat cells.

Hence, the study suggests that the African mango is a powerful natural weight loss supplement with no side effects.

2. Cissus quadrangularis (CQ)

Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) is a perennial plant with several common names, including Devil’s backbone and Veldt Grape. The plant has been used in ayurvedic treatments for generations because of its health benefits. The plant extracts have proven to be very useful in herbal medicine. They can now be accessed in the form of supplements in many parts of the world. The ingredients in Cissus quadrangularis include

• carotenoids
• triterpenoids
• vitamins
• minerals

The initial popularity of the plant extracts solely focussed on their role in potential weight loss. However, the unique chemical composition of this remarkable plant can benefit many other aspects of human health.

3. Dichrostachys glomerata

Cardiovascular risk factors commonly observed in obese people with metabolic syndrome are:

• Increased visceral fat
• Dyslipidemia
• Inflammation
• Coagulation

Dichrostachys glomerata (DG), a spice used in Western Cameroon, can benefit inflammation and various other cardiovascular disease risk factors and has recently gained popularity because of its positive health benefits. In addition, it is consumed as a powerful and safe weight loss supplement.

4. Capsaicin

Chilli peppers, known for their hot flavor, have many benefits when consumed. Once you bite into a pepper, the chemical Capsaicin is released, causing a burning sensation in the mouth, releasing adrenaline into the bloodstream, and causing fat breakdown. This is because chili peppers are thermogenic. Foods such as spices and herbs that increase your body temperature, burning fat and calories are called thermogenic food. They increase your metabolism when you eat them. They burn calories by heat production. This thermogenic effect continues even after you have consumed peppers, increasing your metabolism up to 10 to 20 percent for 30 to 45 minutes. A combination of both exercise and chili peppers works as an excellent weight loss supplement. This new finding has made Capsaicin an effective weight loss aid in 2022.

5. Garcinia Cambogia Extract

Garcinia Cambogia is a fruit that can help individuals with fat loss and is one of the common ingredients in weight loss supplements. It is usually found in India and Southeast Asia. This fruit contains Hydroxycitric acid, which helps your body get rid of excess waste and burn fat fast.

6. Caffeine

Caffeine works as a stimulant for the nervous system. It occurs naturally in the leaves, fruits, and seeds of more than sixty plant species. Exercise is going to trigger adrenaline, but adrenaline itself will not burn fat. Fat burning is not possible without having cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Therefore, we should have caffeine before a workout or periodically when we are interested in burning fat. Caffeine puts off the enzyme that stops cyclic adenosine monophosphate from breaking down.

7. Raspberry ketones

Raspberry ketone is a compound obtained from raspberries, and it is what gives them their smell. Raspberry ketones have been known to be helpful in pregnancy, nausea, skin disorders. Recently it has been discovered that they also help break down fat so that it gets digested and burnt off easily.

8. Green Coffee Bean Extract

Green Coffee Bean Extract is obtained from Green coffee beans and comprises chlorogenic acid, a compound known for its weight loss abilities.

9. Glucomannan

Glucomannan has a sponge-like effect on the digestive tract. The fiber in Glucomannan dissolves in water and ferments like yeast in the colon. This substance is taken from the elephant yam, a substance native to Asia. Many have endorsed Glucomannan as super fiber as it can absorb 50 percent of its weight in water. Hence it forms a gel-like mass in the gut to give a sense of fullness. This lowers your energy intake, helping you in your weight loss journey.

10. Meratrim

Meratrim is a compelling blend of two botanical extracts:

• Spiritus indicus helps control blood sugar levels.
• Merit rim which is an extract which is an extract from the rind of the mango stem. It has anti-obesity and anti-diabetic properties.

11. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)

Technically, CLA is considered trans fat, but all trans fat is not bad. It is an Omega 6 fatty acid that promotes favorable fatty acid oxidation.

All the above supplements are natural and have no side effects on a person’s health. Scientific studies back them, and hence their unique approach in fat burning has made them a popular choice as a weight loss supplement in 2022.
