Q. What is ThermonX Forte?

ThermonX Forte is proprietary blend of numerous herbal/mineral ingredients intended to enhance weight loss via upping the body's thermogenesis process. ThermonX Forte is considered a thermongenic product.

Q. What is Thermogenesis?

Thermogenesis is the term used by scientists to describe the activity of Brown Adipose Tissue often refered to as BAT. This fat only has one real purpose; being the creation (genesis) of heat (thermo) causing an increase in the body's core temperature. To do that it must use calories thus increasing the metabolic rate above normal. It is known that simulating thermogenesis will increase calorie utilisation and therefore can assist fat loss.

Q. What is the best way to take ThermonX Forte?

Based on anecdotal reports it is suggested that ThermonX Forte be consumed at a dose of two capsules up to three times per day. This works on the premise that a continued dosing schedule throughout the day increases the probability of effectively simulating a heightened thermogenesis process within the body.

Q. Do I have to exercise while taking ThermonX Forte?

ThermonX Forte is designed to optimise the body's thermogenesis process. As a weight loss aid, ThermonX Forte is not designed as a replacement for sound nutrition and a sound exercise program. ThermonX Forte is one component of this approach.

It is always advised that a medical practitioner be consulted prior to initiating any exercise or nutritional regime.

Q. Are the ingredients in ThermonX Forte backed by research?

Each ingredient in ThermonX Forte has been carefully selected based on scientific research. All therapeutic claims and the amount of included ingredients are backed by scientific research. ThermonX Forte is registered therapeutic good.

Q. Why is ThermonX Forte considered a low simulating thermogenic?

Due to all types of people interested in reducing fat levels and thus having varying degrees of cardiovascular fitness it was considered prudent to produce a low simulating thermogenic for cardiovascular health. Some people cannot tolerate high simulating thermions and therefore are unable to consume without undesirable effects such as increased heart rates. In fact ThermonX Forte contains Coleus Forskohlii which helps support cardiovascular health (Kerry Bone et al., 1996). If a consumer wishes to have a higher central nervous simulating effect it would be advised to stack Bsc Guarana 2400 which contains 90mg of caffeine per recommend serve with ThermonX Forte.

Q. What are the main active ingredients in ThermonX Forte?

Chromium Picolinate:
Chormium is an essential trace element involved in potentiating the action of insulin. Improvements in insulin utilisation may lead to reduction in body fat. (Kaats GR Blum, Fisher et al., JA 1996). Insulin plays a critical role in maintaining proper blood sugar and stimulating thermogenesis. (Murray MT el al 1996)
Coleus Forskohlii:
Is an herb which has its history in Ayurvedic medicine, which is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago. This herb's basic action is the activation of an enzyme called adenylate cyclase, which increases the amount of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cells. Lipolysis, the breakdown of stored fat, is regulated by cAMP. Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to stimulate lipolysis. (Allen DO, Okuda H et al., 1998, 1992).
Coleus Forskohlii also increases thyroid hormone production and stimulates thyroid hormone release. (Haye B et al., 1990).
White Willow bark:
Is considered to be the natural form and origin of the modern Aspirin. Aspirin is based on the structure of salicin found in the bark of white willow. It is considered possible in having anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic effects (Talalaj S, Czechowicz AS et al., 1989) and therefore may aid in the management of muscular pain and fevers.
Kelp:
Is a sea vegetable which is a source of iodine. Iodine assists in making thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of the body.
L-Carnitine:
Carnitine plays a central role in Fatty acid metabolism. It transports long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. (Heinonen OJ et al., 1996). In the mitochondria fatty acids are broken down and energy is produced. Therefore it is essential for fat metabolism and energy production.

Q. What are some of the therapeutic claims associated with ThermonX Forte’s ingredients?

Custom Indication:

• Guarana: Traditionally used by South American Indians to aid in the management of headaches, circulation, relief of both mental and physical fatigue or exhaustion. To enliven body and as a stimulant; quickens and enlivens physiological function of body.
• Coleus Forskohlii: Aids blood circulation. Helps support healthy digestive function and aids digestion. May aid weight loss by helping to breakdown stored fat. Helps support cardiovascular health.
• Salix alba: Traditionally used in Western Herbal medicine as a digestive aid, tonic helping to strengthen and enliven body, boosts energy reserves and promotes general well-being.
• Fucus vesiculosis: Helps support normal thyroid function. Kelp as a source of iodine assists in making thyroid hormones, which are necessary for maintaining normal metabolism in all cells of body
• L-Carnitine: helps to facilitate fat metabolism and plays an important role in the burning of fat. It is necessary for optimal mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and a critical source of energy / plays a crucial role in energy production in the body.
• Chromium picolinate: is an essential trace mineral your body needs to keep fit and healthy. Diets high in refined carbohydrates can produce a chromium deficiency; and chromium is an important trace element for people whose diet contains large amounts of refined carbohydrates. The elderly also require more chromium. It enhances the action of insulin, thus has important effect on carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism helping to maintain healthy blood sugar / glucose levels. Can help maintain steady blood levels of glucose between meals. May help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels in healthy subjects.

Q. Would ThermonX Forte result in a positive drug test?

No. ThermonX Forte is not a drug or banned substance. It is not listed on the current World Anti-doping Association (WADA) prohibited list (WADA, 2004). Therefore ThermonX Forte can be considered a safe supplement, even in elite athletes subjected to regular drug testing
