Metabolic Lean ™ - 60 Capsules

Description

Douglas Laboratories Metabolic Lean

Metabolic Lean® is a novel weight management formula that includes three branded and clinically studied ingredients—Meratrim® plant extract, Capsimax™ capsicum extract, and chromium picolinate. This special combination of ingredients may promote lipolysis, thermogenic activity and insulin function for overall metabolic support. The ingredients in Metabolic Lean® also help to support adiponectin levels which facilitate proper fat metabolism and healthy glucose regulation.

Meratrim®
Meratrim® is a proprietary plant extract blend for weight management derived from two plants, Sphaeranthus indicus and Garcinia mangostana, traditionally used in Southeast Asian culture. Meratrim has been shown in two independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies to significantly reduce body weight, BMI, and waist circumference within 8 weeks when used in combination with a diet and exercise plan. Meratrim appears to achieve this by modulating the accumulation of fat while simultaneously increasing fat burning. Toxicological studies on Meratrim have demonstrated a wide margin of safety. In vitro studies demonstrate that Meratrim modulates the expression of biomarkers that control adipogenesis and lipogenesis as follows:

• Reduces the expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR) hormone receptor. PPAR induces adipocyte-specific genes involved in the formation and growth of fat cells.
• Reduces the expression of adipocyte differentiation related protein (ADRP). This is a signaling protein which facilitates the uptake of fatty acids to form lipid droplets and adipocyte differentiation.
• Reduces the expression of cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36)—a trans-membrane receptor that facilitates fatty acid uptake by adipocytes.
• Reduces perilipin expression. Perilipins are adipocyte proteins that are localized at the surface of the lipid droplet and inhibit fat break down by restricting access of lipase to the lipid droplet.

Capsicum
Capsimax™ capsicum extract is a proprietary encapsulated form of premium, highly concentrated natural capsicum fruit extract manufactured from hot red peppers. Capsaicinoids are a group of compounds which cause the “heat” found in hot peppers. In fact, over the past 30 years, studies including animal and human subjects support the potential of red hot capsicum and capsaicinoids as a safe, effective ingredient to aid in weight management. Benefits of capsicum and capsaicinoids in animal and human studies have shown that it helps manage appetite, supports healthy metabolism to burn calories, and helps induce thermogenesis. Capsimax™ is a patent-pending encapsulated form of premium, highly concentrated natural capsicum extract. Using a proprietary matrix, Capsimax capsicum extract gives users the maximum effectiveness of capsaicinoids without any oral or gastric irritation, thus solving the problem of capsicum compliance.
