LipoVantage

Multi-Phase Fat Loss Catalyst

What does the term PPAR mean and what are PPAR activators?

In the simplest terms, this applies to fat loss and the importance of a basic understanding of it will become more clear as you read through the ingredient descriptions below.

The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) family is divided into three subgroups – alpha, delta/beta, and gamma. PPARalpha is highly expressed in muscle, the liver, kidneys, and heart and is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, specifically the transcription of the genes involved in the beta-oxidation (burning) of fatty acids and lipogenesis (storage of fatty acids).

Fat can be oxidized in the mitochondria and peroxisomes of cells, with the majority of this oxidation occurring in skeletal muscle cells and the liver.

PPAR-alpha activation increases fat oxidation in the mitochondria and peroxisomes by increasing the expression of enzymes involved in beta-oxidation of fatty acids. In addition, PPAR-alpha activation also increased the number or peroxisomes and mitochondria. This combination of an increased number of peroxisomes and mitochondria plus the increase in beta-oxidation of fatty acids increases the rate and capacity at which fat can be burned.

In simple terms, the activation of PPAR-alpha would be very beneficial to those looking to burn fat.

LipoVantage

Revolutionary Multi-Ingredient PPAR Activation Formula

Let’s Examine the Ingredients:

MitoBurn® (L-BAIBA):

MitoBurn® is a revolutionary fat incinerating ingredient.

BAIBA (β-aminoisobutyric acid) is an amino acid that can be found naturally in both plant and animal sources but that until now hasn’t been widely commercially available as a raw material ingredient due to the inability to keep it stable as a powder and procure it in its most biologically active type, L-BAIBA.

L-BAIBA, a metabolite of the amino acid L-Valine, is a powerful myokine (also known as ‘exercise factors’) and has the ability to stimulate certain ‘exercise factors’ that are released from skeletal muscle in response to muscular stress, especially muscle contraction.

L-BAIBA plays an important role in the benefits of regular exercise and is the starting point for a positive sequence of events including increased free fatty acid oxidization, improved glucose uptake, and reduced body fat.

L-BAIBA works through multiple pathways. The primary one is though initiating the ‘browning’ of white adipose (fat) tissue, which increases energy expenditure, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps regulate weight management. A very novel one is that it has also been shown to help decrease the ‘beiging’ of adipose tissue. This ‘beiging’ process is when the body reverses the preferred adipose tissue color of brown (high energy usage) back to white (high energy storage).

L-BAIBA levels are associated with many of exercise’s numerous benefits, including amplifying the fat burning effects of exercise so you see results faster. MitoBurn® is the first clinically tested and verified form of L-BAIBA.

• Stimulant Free Fat Burner
• Natural Metabolic Enhancer
• Burn Stubborn Body-Fat
• Appetite Control
• Improve Body-Composition
• Helps Burn More Calories
• Helps Mimic the Effects of Exercise
• Anti-Aging, Mitochondrial, & Cellular Health Benefits
• Improved Insulin Sensitivity & Carbohydrate Tolerance
• Amplifies the Fat Burning Effects of Exercise So You See Faster Results
• Supports the Efficient Use of Fat for Energy

MitoBurn® (L-BAIBA) as a PPAR Activator:

The significance of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) activation is discussed in detail in a separate section of this write up. In simple terms, PPAR-alpha activation does a lot of the work that we desire for when exercising and trying to burn fat.

There is so much excitement about MitoBurn® as an exercise mimetic that many people often overlook that L-BAIBA is also a potent PPAR-alpha activator. This is one of the mechanisms through which L-BAIBA supports the browning of white adipose tissue and the increase in beta oxidation (the process in which fat is broken down for use as energy by the body) and decrease in fat creation

Hops (standardized for Isohumulones):

Hops is an herb that people tend to most commonly associate with relaxation and being one of the ingredients in beer. With Hops, as with many herbs, it’s not the herb itself that is most significant, it’s what the herb is standardized/extracted for that makes the difference – in this case, Isohumulones.

Isohumulones (iso-α-acids) are a natural flavonoid found in hops and are the major bitter components in beer and come from the female hops plant (Humulus lupulus L.).

Isohumulones (iso-α-acids) have been shown to help obese individuals with prediabetes by supporting reducing hyperglycemia, the lowering of blood sugar, improved insulin sensitivity (decreased insulin resistance), and increased fat loss; thereby supporting improving some of the underlying markers of metabolic syndrome.

This exciting ingredient has been the subject of both rodent and human studies.

In a rodent study, Isohumulones (iso-α-acids) were shown to support a reduction in diet induced obesity. They were also shown to support the reduction of body-fat in rodents in part by increasing thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. (Think – significance of the other ingredients in LipoVantage supporting the browning of white adipose tissue).

In one study on Isohumulones (iso-α-acids), healthy obese individuals had a significant reduction in visceral fat and total abdominal fat after 12 weeks as compared to a placebo. The reduction is visceral and total fat areas was approximately two-fold lower than in the placebo group.

Isohumulones have also been shown to support Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptors (PPAR) activation.

Stearoylethanolamide (SEA):

Stearoylethanolamide (SEA) is a fatty acid amide and endocannabinoid neurotransmitter that has been shown to support a decrease in food intake (support appetite control) and support fat loss independent of the PPAR pathway.

In addition to its fat loss and appetite control support benefits, SEA may also have possible neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Oleoylethanolamide (OEA):

Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is an exogenous lipid synthesized in the intestines that has been shown to have anorexic properties, meaning that it decreases food intake (supports appetite control).

OEA is also an activator of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptor Alpha (PPAR-alpha). Activation of PPAR-alpha supports an increase in fat oxidation (the breaking down of fatty acids) along with a decrease in fat storage, thereby creating an ideal environment for fat loss.

When speaking on OEA’s potential appetite control benefits, one sports dietician was quoted as saying that “Studies report that ODEA can turn off the switch in the central nervous system for hunger”.

In addition to its potent fat loss properties, OEA may also have potential anti-inflammatory benefits.

CaloriBurn GP®:

CaloriBurn GP® is a standardized extract of the Grains of Paradise seed, also known as Aframomum Melegueta, a spice native to West Africa that belongs to the same family as ginger. CaloriBurn GP® is ideal for those looking for improved body-composition and enhanced fat loss.

To understand how CaloriBurn GP® works, it is helping to under the different types of adipose tissue (fat) in the body:

• White Adipose Tissue (WAT)/White Fat Cells – are your body’s energy storage cells; basically, they are the fat that your body stores as stored energy (leftover unburned calories from the food that you eat). Large amounts of white fat around the abdominal area is associated with a higher risk of metabolic disease.
• Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT)/Brown Fat Cells – are used for diet and cold induced thermogenesis (maintaining your body’s normal temperature when exposed to cold). Brown fat generates heat by burning calories.

CaloriBurn GP® has the unique ability to help convert white fat to brown fat, thereby converting the energy storing fat tissue into the type of fat tissue that help helps increase thermogenesis and total calorie expenditure.

Unlike many fat loss ingredients, Grains of Paradise/Aframomum is backed by human studies. One study showed that subjects had a significantly greater increase in energy expenditure, seemingly due to the increase in brown fat activity versus the placebo group.

Another study showed that subject (non-obese women) that consumed Grains of Paradise/Aframomum had greater decreases in body-fat around the lower abdominals as well as lower levels of visceral fat in the same area as compared to those who consumed a placebo; and very significantly this was with both groups NOT making any changes in diet and exercise.

AstraGin®:

AstraGin® is a natural patented ingredient complex comprised of highly fractionated Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng and created using pharmaceutical grade extraction and processing technology and designed to help enhance nutrient absorption.

In short, AstraGin® is designed to help make sure you properly absorb the other great nutrients in LipoVantage for maximum results.

Bioperine®:

Bioperine® is a standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (Black Pepper) containing 95% piperine. Piperine has been shown to enhance the oral bioavailability of many ingredients.

Bioperine® is included in LipoVantage to be the perfect one-two punch with AstraGin® to help ensure that you properly absorb and get the maximum benefits out of all of the awesome ingredients in the comprehensive LipoVantage formulation.

Stacking & Synergy:

LipoVantage can be stacked with CEL Lipo Elite, M-Test, Epi-Plex, Api-Plex, Anabolic Effect, or a variety of other Competitive Edge Labs products for improved synergistic results.
