BURN3D $34.99 BURN3D form Omega sports is the new measuring stick for fat-burners and thermogenics. Other products rely on hoards of stimulants so that you ‘feel’ something and think the product is burning fat, while in reality it is only burning through your hard earned money. Omega Sports BURN3D is quite possibly the most potent, most synergistic thermogenic, body fat reducing product available anywhere. The combination of its three ingredients in absolute perfect amounts produces an unparalleled ‘continuous burn cycle’ of body fat that is unmatched in the industry. And if that was not enough, the ingredients in BURN3D have been clinically proven to increase muscle mass. Sound interesting? You Bet! Here it is in a nutshell: BURN3D contains three main ingredients in the perfect rations for the ultimate synergy blend: Green tea extract, Forskolin and TTA. Green Tea – antioxidant, increase in 24hour energy expenditure, inhibition of COMT leading to greater amounts of norepinephrine, all without any nervous system stimulation. Conclusion? Helps burn fat by shifting substrate utilization away from carbs and towards fat, and does not come with any resultant nervousness or jitters. Forskolin – decreases blood pressure, increases heart function but mainly increases intracellular cAMP. Increased cAMP results in increased fatty acids liberated from adipocytes (fat cells) for use by the body. Works independently of beta receptors, therefore can exert its effect without any nervous system stimulation. Conclusion? Forskolin liberates fat from fat cells for use by the body. TTA – turns the liver into a fat burning machine. Drains FFA from the blood and burns them up in the mitochondria/peroxisomes of the liver. All without any nervous system stimulation and only for fats; TTA does not increase protein or carb utilization. Conclusion? TTA will help you use up more calories, all coming from fat sources.
So as you can see, the ingredients in Omega BURN3D will created what we have dubbed a ‘continuous burn cycle’ of body fat. Liberating fat stores into the bloodstream and then burning them for fuel is what you will get 24/7 with BURN3D. No other product on the market is designed so strategically as BURN3D to work in such harmony.
Now that you have the basics, we present the science. Green Tea Extract – GTE is a powerful ingredient in any fat loss or general health supplement stack. GTE has been shown to be a powerful antioxidant but more importantly for our purposes, GTE has been shown to elevate resting metabolic rate (as determined by Energy Expenditure, or EE), and the increase is accompanied by a shift in substrate utilization from carbohydrates to fats with no change in protein degradation. This means that the metabolic increase due to GTE A) spares protein and B) burns more fat. How does GTE do this? It is thought that GTE inhibits an enzyme called catechol O-methyltransferase, or COMT. COMT is responsible for breaking down norepinephrine, a molecule that stimulates fat mobilization and thermogenesis (for reference, ephedrine works by increasing levels of circulating norepinephrine). Unlike ephedrine, the resultant increase in norepinephrine from GTE does not give you the jitters or make you anxious. Also, it has been shown that the primary active “catechins” in GTE, EGCG, has a “threshold” dosage before which it is eliminated quickly prior to reaching the blood. The threshold was shown to be around 375mg of EGCG ingested all at once. Prior to this dosage, only small amounts of EGCG make their way into the blood, but past this 375mg “saturation barrier” the majority of the catechins make it into the bloodstream. Thus, 400mg of EGCG at one dose has far greater effects than two 200mg doses spread apart. With this in mind, each dose of Omega BURN3D contains 400mg of EGCG, enough to reach past the saturation point and significantly elevate blood levels of the active catechins. Coleus Forskolii – The active ingredient in this Ayurvedic herb is forskolin. Forskolin acts similarly to beta agonists like ephedrine, but without the CNS effects associated with them. This is because forskolin is able to exert its effects without beta receptor interaction. Forskolin activates an enzyme named adenylate cyclase, which in turn increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP is a messenger molecule that signals the body to mobilize fat from fat cells. This is due to cAMP activating cAMP-dependant protein kinase, which activates hormone sensitive lipase (HSL). HSL is responsible for signaling fat cells to release free fatty acids (FFA) into the bloodstream for use as energy. Thus, by increasing cAMP, fat is mobilized from fat cells for use as energy. As an aside, forskolin is also known to reduce blood pressure, increase healthy heart function, increase NO and act as an antihistamine. While releasing FFA into the blood might seem like you can start winning the battle of the bulge, it is only half the equation; FFA, if not utilized as fuel (for instance, during exercise) are returned to fat cells and reincorporated. So the end point is that unless you use these extra FFA, they will just be redeposited. Which leads to the next ingredient in Omega BURN3D… TTA - Tetradecylthioacetic acid. Yes, I know its hard to say, but it is of my opinion that any non-stimulant fat burner needs to incorporate this new and intriguing compound. TTA is a fatty acid with a sulfur atom substituted at the 3rd position in place of a carbon (also known as a 3-thia fatty acid). What this does is prevent the TTA molecule from being oxidized (or burnt up) by the body for fuel. TTA is a potent activator of a set of nuclear sub-receptors dubbed the PPARs. PPARalpha (PPARa) is responsible for fat mobilization and burning, PPARdelta (PPARd) is somewhat greyer area, as it is not too well understood, and PPARgamma (PPARg) is responsible for fat storage. TTA is a very strong activator of PPARa, leading to a host of fat burning changes. By activating PPARa (which stands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor), structural changes take place in the mitochondria of the body, causing them to enlarge and proliferate. The same happens with peroxisomes, which are also responsible for oxidation of fats. What does this all mean? The liver becomes a fat burning machine, draining fatty acids from the blood and burning them up in the many new mitochondria and peroxisomes. TTA has shown resultant dramatic decreases in blood FFA concentrations, and has been shown to be cardioprotective by changing cholesterol profiles from negative to beneficial.
Clearly, these ingredients compliment each other. TTA leads to drainage of FFA from the blood, and forskolin increases FFA release, meaning that they should work in synergy and lead to even greater fat loss than the two alone (and when combined with exercise and a caloric deficit, leading to total fat destruction). And with these two chugging away, GTE shifts the body over from carb utilization to fat utilization in its daily metabolism. All of this without any CNS stimulation that you can feel or that will keep you up at night.
Meaning what? Meaning that Omega BURN3D can be taken at any time of day, including before bed. Now to speak on something I left out that really excites me. Caffeine will work very synergistically with Omega BURN3D. 150-200mg during the morning and at midday will increase fat burning due to a couple of effects. First, caffeine is a CNS stimulant, and as shown when combined with ephedrine results in a synergistic metabolism increase (a 1+1=3 relationship). Seeing as how forskolin and GTE are very similar to ephedrine in method of response (without the CNS stimulation), combining caffeine with them would synergistically increase metabolism. Caffeine is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor; phosphodiesterase breaks down cAMP in the body. And forskolin increases cAMP…so by taking caffeine with Omega BURN3D, not only will cAMP be elevated by directly increasing it (through forskolin) but also through the indirect method of a reduction in its breakdown (via caffeine).
