Chromium
an important mineral with regards to helping keep blood sugar levels in balance. It does this by playing a role in the metabolism of glucose, and is also involved in the synthesis of protein. A deficiency in chromium can cause an imbalance of the blood sugar levels, which in turn will affect the adrenal glands.

Guggul Lipids Extract- S.E. Guggulsterones
Here’s where the money’s at! This extract has been clinically proven to restore a lagging metabolic rate caused by calorie deficits of someone who is restricting their calories. They have a massive effect on stimulating the thyroid hormone as well as other metabolic factors. It stimulates your body to produce T4 and allows for maximum liver conversion of that T4 directly into the hormone T3. Guggelsterones have also been shown to increase HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce LDL (bad cholesterol), reducing plaque buildup within the bloodstream.
Tyrosine
L-tyrosine is an amino acid necessary for the manufacture of thyroid hormones. Too little L-tyrosine, a critical amino acid, limits the amount of thyroid hormones the body can make, so taking L-tyrosine has been shown to help jump-start a sluggish thyroid
Kelp
Is a seaweed extract that is known to have very high amounts of Iodine content. Iodine is essential for the formation of thyroid hormones, which regulate the body’s energy production and help burn excess body fat.
Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack, also a seaweed extract, which is noted as a highly, nutrient rich antioxidant has many nutritional benefits. Bladderwrack is specifically known to contain high levels of Iodine which has been shown to support your body’s natural thyroid function.
Threonine
Essential amino acid (which means it must be consumed through dietary sources). L- Threonine has many benefits including breaking down fats and fatty acids, supporting your immune system and Cardiovascular health.
Green Coffee Bean Extract- 45% Chlorogenic Acid
This research mirrors that of the effects of green tea, but with far greater potential. Green coffee bean extract contains two compounds – caffeine and chlorogenic acid. Caffeine you are already familiar with from above, in that it releases fatty acids from adipocytes. Consider chlorogenic acid, its partner in crime; Chlorogenic acid helps the liver become more efficient in processing the fatty acids, and when teamed up with caffeine has been shown in studies to reduce stored fat by as much as 25% over a period of 90 days.
Raspberry Ketones
By using Raspberry Keytones you can expect an increased lipolysis (breakdown of fat), primarily by making the cells more sensitive to the effects of the fat burning hormone norepinephrine. It has also been known to make the fat cells release more of the adiponectin which can help regulate metabolism and blood sugar levels.
Cayenne Pepper 40,000 BTU
Comes from a Greek root meaning "to bite" and it certainly lives up to it’s reputation – giving Onyx some bite with it’s stimulant properties. It is an extremely potent antioxidant that thins the blood and reduces cholesterol and build-up within the blood vessels. It acts as a vasodilator allowing for increased blood flow during intense training or physical exertion.
Coleous Forskohli (20% Forskolin)
Extremely important to the complex as it aids in releasing fatty acids into the bloodstream, but operates on a much different channel than caffeine. Coleous Forskohli targets the thyroid directly. The thyroid controls your metabolism. The faster your thyroid runs, the hotter your metabolism will be. Coleous Forskohli keeps your thyroid running at optimal levels to aid in weight loss.
Evodiamine
A Chinese herb that has the capability of raising the body’s core temperature, thereby elevating metabolism and reducing fat uptake. The synergy of these effects leads to elevated energy levels and increased lipolysis.
Yohimbine hcl
Converted by the human body to Yohimbine before being assimilated. Yohimbine and the other alkaloids of Yobimbe work to increase blood flow, serve as a powerful antioxidant, and assist with fat loss. Because of its effects on blood flow and nerve impulses, it is also used herbally to treat erectile dysfunction.
3,5 Diiodo-L-tyrosine dihydrate
A direct precursor to the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 and directly stimulates the thyroid to increase your basal metabolic rate.
