Zantrax-3
Zantrax-3 Information
Brand Name: Zantrex-3
Other Common Names: Zantrex, Zantrax-3
Zantrex-3 works by inducing thermogenesis (the production of heat), which speeds up your metabolism and burns calories, facilitating weight-loss. It also has an appetite-suppressing effect, so you feel less hungry and therefore eat less.
Since Zantrex-3 is ephedrine-free, it doesn't have any of the side-effects that make ephedrine-based products problematic.
Zantrex is a diet-drug, more commonly known as a weight loss pill. The active compound in Zantrex-3 is not only effective for weight loss, as appetite suppressant, but with the addition of its xanthine-based stimulant, Zantrex-3 gives an energy boost. Since Zantrex-3 is ephedra free, it is the choice when health concerns exist, or drug testing is an issue.
Zantrax-3 Ingredients and Composition
How Does Zantrax-3 Work?
Caffeine (guarana) in Zantrex-3
As far as fat burning is concerned, the primary active Zantrex-3 ingredient in guarana is caffeine. This plant chemical is rapidly absorbed by the body and remains in circulation for more than seven hours. Plasma concentrations reach a peak one hour after it is consumed. It is then slowly metabolized, with a half-life of four to six hours.
The caffeine source in Zantrex-3 is guarana seed extract. Guarana is a bushy tree that grows in the Amazon rainforest. Known botanically as Paullina cupana, it is almost as popular as coffee in Brazil. Guarana does not have as much acid as coffee, so it can be less irritating to the stomach than coffee can. Guarana also has epicathechin and proanthocyanidins, both of which are powerful antioxidants that help reduce free-radical damage in cells. Epicathechin is chemically related to epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which prolongs the life of norepinephrine. As a result, the epicathechin may keep the thermogenic process going for a even longer period of time, further boosting your metabolic rate and facilitating fat loss.
Norepinephrine is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands, that acts as a neurotransmitter. The sympathetic nervous system functions in response to short-term stress; hence norepinephrine increases the heart rate as well as blood pressure. Other actions of norepinephrine include increased glycogenolysis (the conversion of glycogen to glucose) in the liver, increased lipolysis (the conversion of fats to fatty acids) in adipose (fat) tissue, and relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle to open up the air passages to the lungs. All of these actions represent a mobilization of the body's resources in order to meet the stressful challenge; such a response is often termed the 'flight or fight' syndrome.
Basically, the caffeine in Zantrex-3 keeps your body in 'combat' mode for extended periods of time, facilitating weight loss.
Caffeine has been shown to dramatically increase free fatty-acid levels, providing the body with a fuel source that it can use instead of the glycogen stored in your liver and muscles. In fact, one study found a 100% increase in plasma free fatty acids after the subjects took 330 mg of caffeine - another reason why it is used in Zantrex-3.
At the same time, caffeine has been shown to increase adrenaline levels. This "fight-or-flight" hormone increases alertness and boosts energy levels, helping you to go through your daily tasks with less food intake. Most people experience a reduced appetite when their adrenaline levels are high, usually because they are focused on more essential tasks. With these two mechanisms, it's easy to understand why caffeine is an important ingredient in Zantrex-3 for jump-starting your weight-loss efforts.
Damiana Herb in Zantrex-3
A small, strongly aromatic shrub grown in South America, the leaves are used for therapeutic purposes, as they are in Zantrex-3. The leaves and stems are gathered when the plant is in flower and are then dried. Damiana is as a stimulant for the nervous system, it is used to treat depression, physical weakness, mental stupor and nervous exhaustion. Damiana is also considered a stimulant for the reproductive system in both sexes, especially in men, where impotence and sterility is associated with anxiety. For both sexes it can act as an aphrodisiac.
Green Tea in Zantrex-3
Green tea is used in Zantrax-3 for its potent antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. There are four primary polyphenols in green tea. While all four appear to have protective value, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) occurs in the greatest amounts and has the strongest benefits. EGCG is an antioxidant that is several times more potent than vitamin E. It also prolongs the life of norepinephrine, which triggers thermogenesis. As a result, EGCG in Zantrex-3 keeps the thermogenic process going for a longer period of time, boosting your metabolic rate and facilitating fat loss. However, as far as Zantrex-3 fat burning is concerned, the primary active ingredient in green tea is caffeine.
Ginseng in Zantrex-3
Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosis) has a well-deserved reputation as an adaptogen. This means that it helps the body to deal with stress, including the stress caused by a diet and exercise program. Ginseng has been shown to reduce the secretion of cortisol in the adrenal glands. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone that can eat away at muscle tissue, so it is best to keep it under control. Ginseng in Zantrex-3 also promotes the health of the adrenal gland while strengthening the immune system and helping the body fight inflammation. The quantity of ginseng in this formulation is not indicated.
How To Take Zantrax-3 and Zantrax-3 Dosage and Administration
Take two capsules with a full glass of water, 15-30 minutes before meals. Remember, the calorie-reducing properties of Zantrex-3 are activated by food. For a significant energy boost, take 2 capsules anytime as needed.
