Are Metabolism Boosters Effective?

Metabolism boosters combine key, thermogenic ingredients, such as green tea leaf, ginseng root and cocoa seed extract to produce an enhanced metabolic effect. The problem is that many metabolism boosters also contain dangerous amounts of caffeine and excess chemicals that, in the long run, can actually damage metabolism. The ingredients in your chosen metabolism booster will tell you whether that product is effective or not.

Read Your Label

• Read Your Label

  Avoid products that list caffeine as their first ingredient, in addition to those that contain "special proprietary blends," not broken down into specifics.

Green Tea

• Keep it Green

  According to provenweightlossdietpills.com, green tea is one of the most effective metabolic boosters you can find, whether taken in pill or liquid form. Green tea has also been known to promote skin health and prevent diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Ginseng

• Used for Centuries

  Ginseng root has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. Its metabolic affect stems from its ability to enhance energy and physical endurance, resulting in more calories burned.

Cocoa Seed Extract

• Chocolate to Slim Down?

  Cocoa seed extract---the natural, unadulterated form of caffeine---enhances energy and diminishes appetite, resulting in fewer calories consumed and more calories burned over time.

Get Moving

• Move it to Lose It

  While the majority of metabolism boosters are effective insofar as they increase energy, the key is to use that energy to do something active, be it formal physical exercise--running, biking, weight-lifting--or something as simple as walking the dog or cleaning your house. The more you move, the higher your metabolism climbs, no matter where your energy comes from.
