Lipogenix is a dietary supplement made from herbal extracts that combats weight gain and facilitates weight loss.
The extract obtained from the berries of Garcinia cambogia is rich in hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been shown to be an effective regulator of the absorption of fats from food and a modulator of their entire metabolism.
Normally, the fats ingested with food have two uses: either they are stored in depots or they are used for energy purposes.
HCA blocks the synthesis of fatty acids (lipogenesis) thanks to the inhibition of the enzyme citrate lyase.
HCA also allows for increased release of serotonin in the brain while lowering serum levels of leptin, a peptide hormone that modulates appetite, particularly by reducing carbohydrates and simple sugars.
Green coffee is a blend of the classic varieties of unroasted coffee beans (Coffea arabica and Robusta), hence the green color.
In contrast to classic coffee, it contains less free caffeine because it is bound to chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant factor.
In this form, caffeine is absorbed much more slowly, but its stimulating effects last longer.
Green coffee is rich in polyphenols, tannins, ferulic acid and B vitamins.
Consuming green coffee has the following benefits:
- Lipid metabolism: Thanks to its methylxanthine content, it has a lipolytic ("fat-burning") effect;
- Control of blood sugar levels: Chlorogenic acid inhibits a key enzyme in the regulation of blood sugar levels (glucose-6-phosphatase), thus reducing the hepatic process of converting glycogen into glucose. In the second control mechanism, green coffee acts directly on the cells of the intestinal mucosa, where it inhibits the absorption of sugar and glucose in the intestine. For these reasons, green coffee is an effective aid for diabetics.
- Antioxidant effect: Tannic acid and ferulic acid in particular neutralize the effects of free radicals.
