AI-BURN LIQUID is the ready-to-drink thermogenic supplement from Yamamoto® Nutrition, specially formulated to promote weight loss and muscle definition. With a combination of active ingredients that act synergistically to favour fat metabolism and thermogenesis, AI-BURN helps achieve fitness goals effectively and safely.
The formula contains the Slendacor® blend of extracts, Green Tea, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, Caffeine, Potassium, Magnesium, Niacin, Grains of Paradise, vitamins B6, B2 and B12, which together help increase calorie expenditure by generating heat.
Read on to find out how the plant extracts contained in AI-BURN work.
Slendacor® is a patented blend of three herbs carefully selected from 400 Ayurvedic herbal extracts: Curcuma longa, Murraya koenigii and Moringa oleifera. This blend has been tested in vitro and in vivo to optimise its synergistic relationship, making it more effective in inhibiting the build up of fat in adipose cells, promoting the breakdown of fat (lipolysis) and facilitating weight loss. Unlike other slimming products, the patented Slendacor® blend does not stimulate the nervous system, rather it has special mechanisms of action that inhibit the formation of adipocytes (lipogenesis) and promote their destruction (lipolysis).
In three double-blind studies on humans, Slendacor® was seen to promote weight loss, reduce body mass index (BMI) and have a positive effect on the levels of cholesterol, triglyceride and adiponectin (a hormone that governs various metabolic processes, including blood glucose levels and the use of fatty acids as an energy source).
Research has shown that Slendacor® reduces weight by 47% more than the placebo diet, with significant weight loss (9%) starting from day 14 and a decrease in body mass index after 8 weeks. In addition, it increases serum levels of the hormone adiponectin by more than 20%, while significantly reducing levels of the appetite-enhancing hormone grelin. The blend also inhibits fat build-up in the adipocytes in a dose-dependent manner and has a positive effect on the HDL/LDL ratio and triglyceride levels. Lastly, treatments with Slendacor® were very well tolerated and the blend was awarded the prestigious 'Nutraingredients Ingredient of the Year Award (2017)'.
Caffeine has always been considered a valuable ergogenic aid that can boost psychophysical performance and considerably improve resistance to fatigue. From a metabolic point of view, the stimulatory boost on the nervous system promotes energy consumption, the release of free fatty acids from adipocytes (lipolysis) and, consequently, muscle glycogen savings.
Green tea contains catechins, which help increase metabolism and thermogenesis, thereby promoting weight loss.
N-Acetyl L-tyrosine acts as a dopamine precursor, and therefore regulates the central nervous system, motivation and physical performance. It also appears to promote the mobilisation of fat for energy purposes: L-tyrosine has been studied in various settings as a potential dietary supplement to promote weight loss and improve muscle definition. In a study published in the journal 'Nutrition Research', researchers examined the effects of L-tyrosine intake on thermogenesis and fat metabolism in a group of overweight subjects, and the results showed that L-tyrosine intake increased thermogenesis and fat mobilisation, thereby promoting weight loss and a decrease in fat tissue.
Finally, recent research has confirmed the health benefits of Grains of Paradise and their ability to coadjuvate digestive function and weight loss. Clinical studies have shown that the intake of this spice counteracts fat accumulation due to the presence of an active phenolic compound called 6-paradol and other aromatic substances present in ginger such as 6-shoagol and 6-gingerol. It is thanks to 6-paradol that Grains of Paradise have a thermogenic action able to convert white adipose tissue into brown fat, which improves blood sugar control and reduces visceral fat. Grains of Paradise also stimulate the fat disposal process through thermodispersion, a mechanism that burns excess fat to produce heat. In this way, the spice helps to burn excess fat and achieve the desired weight.
Thanks to these characteristics, AI-BURN Liquid is suitable for those who exercise regularly and/or follow a low-calorie, low-fat diet. Taking this product can help accelerate the weight loss process and improve muscle definition, by promoting a reduction in adipose tissue and the maintenance of lean muscle mass.
It is important to point out that taking AI-BURN Liquid should always be combined with an active lifestyle and a balanced diet.
