Custom Formulations for Weight Loss Supplements
Weight loss supplements are among some of the most popular supplement categories out there. In 2020, the market for these supplements was worth USD 81.57 billion. With a CAGR of 7.84%, the weight loss supplements market is expected to hit over USD 128 billion by 2026. This makes sense since studies have shown that about 85% of people that try to lose weight take dietary supplements to reach their goals.
Dietary supplements are a great addition for consumers to reach goals. If they want to increase immune health, a multivitamin or elderberry supplement can be taken everyday to help. Consumers can use pre-workouts or L-arginine to increase exercise efforts. And they can add weight loss supplements to their diet and exercise to shed more pounds, but what ingredients are the most effective for this goal?
Ingredients that Promote Weight Loss
Forskolin
This ingredient increased in popularity in 2014 after a famous doctor did a feature on it. Forskolin is a compound that is found in the roots of the tropical plant Indian coleus. The plant has been featured in traditional medicine for centuries for many benefits, but it’s commonly used as a weight loss supplement.
This natural ingredient increases the release of stored fat which makes it ideal as an addition to exercise. It promotes production of free testosterone which breaks down fat from fat cells but also increases muscle mass.
Benefits
- Releases Stored Fat
- Promotes Lean Body Mass
- Increases Testosterone
Green Tea Extract
The tea is one of the most common drinks in the world, but green tea extract is just its concentrated form which means even a smaller amount can have the same great benefits! This ingredient is loaded with antioxidants which is the source of many of its benefits.
These antioxidants, called catechins, can lower inflammation and blood pressure, but they also reduce fat absorption in cells. Green tea also contains caffeine. Combining caffeine and catechins manages hormone levels that promote thermogenesis, which is the process when the body burns calories to digest food and increase body temperature. All of this means that green tea extract helps the body burn calories more efficiently.
Benefits
- High in Antioxidants
- Supports Brain & Heart Health
- Supports Calorie Metabolism
MCT Oil
This ingredient is popular among avid gym-goers, athletes, and keto-diet enthusiasts. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides which means that MCT oil is easier to digest than longer-chain fatty acids that are common in other foods. This oil is common among bodybuilders and athletes because it can help lower lactate buildup which helps performance and it increases energy.
MCT oil is a favorite among consumers that follow the keto diet, because its high fat content helps them stay in ketosis. However, there are other benefits that may support weight loss. MCT oil decreases appetite and helps consumers feel full for longer. It also increases the amount of good bacteria in the gut to support a healthy gut and food digestion.
Benefits
- Increases Energy
- Decreases Appetite
- Supports Ketosis
Garcinia Cambogia
This ingredient is very common in many weight loss products. The fruit is grown in South & Southeast Asia and actually looks like a small pumpkin. The peel of the fruit is high in hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which is where a lot of its weight loss benefits come from.
Similar to MCT oil, this ingredient lowers appetite, but its also been shown to decrease the amount of fat in blood and support healthier cholesterol levels. One of its most popular benefits is that it stops an enzyme called citrate lyase, which helps produce new fat cells. Supplements should have 50-60% HCA to have the most benefits to support weight loss efforts.
Benefits
- Blocks Production of New Fat Cells
- Suppresses Appetite
- Reduces Belly Fat
