When you shift your training into a fat-loss phase, you may be concerned that you won’t have as much energy or focus when you hit the gym. That’s where supplementation comes in. The following supplements promote greater focus and/or fat loss when you’re also suf ering from the ef ects of a reduced intake of calories. Consider taking these in ef ective doses to support better workouts and increased fat loss.
►Dendrobium enhances focus for better workouts. The stem of the Dendrobium nobile plant, from the orchid family, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to boost the immune system and fight disease. The stem contains alkaloids, and recent research indicates these may be the driving force, supporting dendrobium’s ability to enhance focus and wakefulness. In addition, dendrobium may decrease fatigue and help decrease appetite, allowing for better fat-loss results on a calorierestricted nutrition plan. Dendrobium is high in phenylethylamine (PEA), a chemical that increases the release of the brain chemical norepinephrine, which helps increase motor coordination.
►Psoralea stimulates your brain for greater focus and energy. The seeds from the tropical Psoralea corylifolia plant provide multiple benefits for those who are training while following a nutrition program to support fat loss. Compounds found in the psoralea plant help boost brain chemicals such as dopamine, which helps your body recover from intense training. In addition, this extract has a powerful effect on focus and energy, contributing to better workouts.
►Sword bean boosts your central nervous system. Sword beans, also known as Canavalia gladiata, are eaten in parts of Africa and Asia, and the seeds are growing in popularity as a dietary supplement to aid strength and alertness. Extracts from the seeds of sword beans stimulate the central nervous system, supporting the levels of brain chemicals, including dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and serotonin. Altogether, these brain chemicals provide you with more energy and focus when you need it.
►Caffeine anhydrous stimulates more effective fat loss. In addition to exciting your central nervous system, caffeine also supports fat loss through a few key mechanisms. First, it boosts your metabolic rate, requiring your body to burn more calories. Second, it helps your body release more fat from storage, allowing you to burn these specific calories. Research also shows that caffeine increases strength. While you can drink caffeine in your coffee or green tea, research shows that the most effective form for enhancing these exercise benefits is the anhydrous form.
