The term 'fat burner' is used to describe nutrition supplements that are claimed to acutely increase fat metabolism or energy expenditure, impair fat absorption, increase weight loss, increase fat oxidation during exercise, or somehow cause long-term adaptations that promote fat metabolism.
How they work
-
Caffeine
Stimulates the release of adrenaline, which increases metabolism and fat burning
-
L-carnitine
Transports fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are oxidized for fuel
-
Protein
Enhances metabolism and suppresses appetite by reducing the hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin
-
Soluble fiber
Helps control appetite and prevents the body from absorbing fat from food
