The more calories you burn, the more heat your body produces. The word thermogenic, means “heat producing”, so in this way, ingredients that support the body’s metabolism or natural ability to burn fat are considered thermogenic. If weight management is your goal, then using thermogenic supplements can be a great way to help support your body to burn calories while exercising as well as at rest.

Two popular, natural thermogenic ingredients include:

• Green Coffee Bean Extract
• Garcinia Cambogia

Garcinia Cambogia extract is from the rind of the Garcinia fruit (Garcinia gummi-gutta). It contains a natural, active compound called Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which can work to block certain enzymes in the body to support body fat. As well as supporting the body’s ability to burn fat as energy, Garcinia Cambogia can also acts as a natural appetite suppressant, supporting feelings of satiety and feeling full for longer.

Green Coffee Bean Extract comes from raw coffee beans (Coffea arabica). Rich in a potent antioxidant called chlorogenic acid, green coffee bean extract can help to support a healthy metabolism and digestion. It’s also thought that chlorogenic acid is responsible for its positive weight management support.

While there’s no magic pill, the use of thermogenic supplements can support your body to maintain a healthy weight. Alongside healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine, you can feel like you are making a difference and on track towards your weight goals.
