Hey John! Thank you for your order of Radiate with us, glad to hear you are enjoying it so far!
As for your question, I can tell you that Radiate was designed to be MUCH more than just an energy boosting/nootropic type product. It is packed full of ingredients that may assist in burning fat. Here is a break down of a few of the ingredients I am talking about:
Grains of Paradise (Paradoxine
)- There are two types of adipose tissue, WAT (white adipose tissues) and BAT (brown adipose tissues). WAT is the sites of energy storage (the fat that makes you look fat), while BAT is responsible for cold-and diet-induced thermogenesis, which helps to control body-energy expenditure, as well as body fat content, meaning this type of fat helps burn fat! Grains of Paradise extract (especially including 12.5% 6-paradol like Paradoxine) has shown to promote WAT transformation into BAT.
LeanGBB
- A patented form of Gamma-Butyrobetaine(GBB) that increases the production of carnitine in your body. L-carnitine acts like a taxi for fat and transports it to the mitochondria to be used as energy, leading to significantly more fat being burned and greater energy levels.
Rauwolfia Vomitoria (90% Rauwolscine)- This is an alpha-2 receptor antagonist. Alpha 2 receptors can be found in the abdomen, glutes, and other stubborn places in the body that tend to be hard to lose fat from. The reason you aren't losing fat from those areas is because those receptors are holding on to the fat. By deactivating them with Rauwolscine, your body can now release more fat from those areas.
Higenamine- Also known as norcoclaurine, is an extract from Nelumbo nucifera that exhibits similar fat oxidation effects to Ephedra and Clenbuterol without the side effects that accompany them. It’s a beta-2 agonist, meaning it makes the body release noradrenaline which then causes fat to be released and used for energy meaning it increases the body’s ability to burn stored fat for fuel.
KSM-66
- This is the industry-leading form of ashwagandha extract standardized to >5% withanolides. This patented form of ashwagandha has been shown to combat stress, reduce mental fatigue (which happens to all of us during the week), enhance your cognitive performance & reaction time, AND most recently it's been shown to not only enhance weight loss for those dealing with chronic stress, but thyroid function as well.
Hordenine- This ingredient stimulates the release of norepinephrine which is lipolytic, meaning it liberates lipids from adipose tissue. When this occurs, those liberated lipids are oxidized for energy, and results in an overall reduction of body fat.
Bioperine
- This is a patented extract from black pepper that enhances the bioavailability and absorption of dietary ingredients. It’s able to do this by inhibiting their breakdown in the body which leads to an extended the life of the active compounds in the body. One other cool thing about Bioperine is that it has been shown to work similar to Grains of Paradise in assisting in the breakdown of fat.
Hope that helps understand some of what Radiate was designed to accomplish!
MonteRXS might chime in too ;-)
