Metabolism

Product overview

LifeSeason® Metabolism is formulated with natural ingredients, like Chromium and Theobromine, that work synergistically to support healthy appetite regulation, nutrient absorption and balanced weight levels. It is especially designed to support a healthy metabolism/metabolic process, the complex chemical reactions that take place inside to essentially convert the food we eat into energy for all the body’s essential functions/ functional processes.

• Supports the body’s natural ability to manage a healthy weight balance in conjunction with healthy eating
• Provides support for appetite regulation by maintaining a healthy digestive pH for optimal nutrient absorption for energy requirements
• Includes Green Tea extract well researched for its support of metabolic processes, a healthy mood and support the body’s response to stress

Why is metabolism important?

Metabolism is the essential collection of chemical reactions occurring inside every cell of the body that keep the body alive and functioning. Metabolism is the necessary process that converts calories from food into energy, it’s also involved in burning excess calories stored in fat which supports natural weight loss. The speed of the body’s metabolism typically declines with age and can vary from person to person. Those with a fast metabolism don’t tend to easily store a lot of body fat, while those with a slower metabolism feel they tend to gain weight easily.

What supports a healthy metabolism?

Exercising regularly, making smart food choices, and eliminating stress can all support healthy metabolism and weight management. Exercise instantly burns calories which supports the metabolic process, but overconsumption of calories vs what the body requires to maintain a balanced weight, and the excess calories will get stored in fat cells. The trick is not every calorie is created equal! Whole, unprocessed foods, particularly lean protein and vegetables, are loaded with essential nutrients used for a number of functions that ultimately lead to more efficient calorie management within the body.

How does stress impact metabolism?

When the body is under stress, studies show metabolism slows down as the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine plummet, and the stress hormone cortisol surges – it’s a recipe for seeking comfort food. Cortisol stokes the appetite and encourages calories to be stored around the midsection. Research shows that Green Tea Extract can support the body’s response to stress as well as healthy metabolism.

What’s inside Metabolism?

• Chromium – supports appetite regulation, balances blood sugar and supports the body to process carbohydrates and fats. This mineral is also useful to counter cravings.
• Green Tea – supports a healthy metabolic process, which is associated with appetite control, better utilisation of energy and supports the body’s ability to access stored energy for healthy weight management.
• Green Coffee – formulated as an extract of unroasted, green coffee beans that contain chlorogenic acid to support healthy metabolism for balanced weight levels.
• Cayenne – provides thermogenic support for the body, increasing core body temperature which in turn allows more stored calories to be burned as fuel for energy.
• Andean Cocoa - commonly known as Cacao, this nutrient supports fat burning potential, uplifted mood and healthy energy levels.
• Apple Cider Vinegar – provides digestive support and the absorption and assimilation of nutrients, as well as supporting detoxification, blood sugar balance and healthy weight management.
• Theobromine – supports a healthy mood and appetite regulation to maintain healthy weight balance.
• L-Theanine – supports nervous system relaxation and the body’s response to stress. Unmanaged stress and high levels of stress promote increased production of the stress-hormone cortisol to circulate in the blood stream and encourage ‘emotional eating’. High levels of cortisol are also associated with increases in the hormone insulin which is associated with fat storage. Together these hormones are a recipe for fat storage, especially around the middle.

Herbal extracts and standardised constituents explained

LifeSeasons® use a combination of extracted and non-extracted herbs in their formulations. The main advantage of using extracted herbs is that the phytochemicals are more concentrated and provide more potent health support. Herbal constituents that may be lost during the extraction process are preserved with the use of non-extracted herbs, which is why some products include both options in the formulation. A standardised herbal extract is one that has one or more phytochemicals present in a specific, guaranteed amount. Standardisation normally involves measuring the amount of at least one or two phytochemicals that have been researched and identified as having health benefits when taken at a particular dose. This dual use makes for a more potent formulation that unites the benefits of traditionally used whole-herbs with the evidence-based efficacy of particular plant constituents well-researched for their health effects.
