Lean System 7 is unlike anything out there. To start, I even hesitate to call it "ephedrine free" because it was never built on ephedrine to begin with. See, many of the companies who developed their weight-loss products using ephedrine have recently removed it and now call their products "ephedrine free."
Lean System 7, on the other hand, is the first and only scientifically based formula developed without ephedrine to help you get and stay lean! The synergistic combination of patented nutrients found only in Lean System 7 was designed to penetrate and attack fat cells by way of three revolutionary mechanisms-to "activate" the metabolism-enabling the body to burn bodyfat all day strong.
Let me tell you a little more about each of the potent nutrients you will find inside Lean System 7 and how they work:
1) First, Lean System 7 contains a rich supply of yerba maté and guarana, natural herbs shown to support long-term weight loss, working synergistically to enhance thermogenesis-the body's ability to free fatty acids and use them for energy. One recent study found that subjects who supplemented with this combination lost 11 times more weight than those subjects who did not take this combination. And the amazing part was, these individuals kept their weight off for additional 12 months. One note, this study involved another supplement called damiana, but the researchers behind Lean System 7 felt this herb's contribution to the results was insignificant and thus chose not to include it in Lean System 7.
3) Third, Lean System 7 provides the revolutionary, groundbreaking new micronutrient 7-Keto™, a patented compound which, by activating thermogenic enzymes, has been shown to safely "rev up" the basal metabolic rate and thus "burn" calories more rapidly and continually throughout the day, even while resting, as well as inhibit the storage of fat within the body.
This breakthrough compound, which took over 10 years, 21 clinical trials, and $8-million in research to develop, has been acclaimed by many of the leading minds in the industry as the "best" alternative to ephedrine to fight the war on fat. 7-Keto works entirely differently than ephedrine. It doesn't stimulate the central nervous system. Instead, it has been shown in a recent study to increase the levels of a hormone called T3 (although still within a safe range). What's important to note here is that T3 has the most direct, profound effect on the body's metabolism. In fact, one prominent study published in Current Therapeutic Research indicated that 7-Keto users lost 3 times more bodyfat than those who did not use the supplement, following the same exercise and nutrition regimen. And what's more, 7-Keto has been involved in rigorous safety studies and fared exceptionally well. (Likely because 7-Keto, technically called 3-actyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrsterone, is found naturally in our bodies yet declines in production with age; therefore, we're simply putting back what "Father Time" has stripped away).
The most recent scientific study shows one of the key compounds contained in Lean System 7™ actually helped users lose 3 times more bodyfat than the placebo group (those who did not use the supplement), and, in yet another shocking study, users lost bodyfat 200% faster than those who dieted and exercised alone.
Finally, dandelion, a mild herbal diuretic, has also been added to prevent the body from retaining unwanted, excess water between the skin and muscle tissue. And another exciting patented compound, Bioperine®, has been included to support the breakdown and absorption of each of the nutrients in Lean System 7, which increases their uptake and utilization-to achieve full effectiveness.
Together, these seven "active" fat-fighting nutrients work in precise combinations to create the world's first and only advanced triple-action metabolic activation system. As you can see, Lean System 7 is a new breed of supplement… engineered specifically for one job: to penetrate and attack fat cells-to help you lose fat, once and for all. By naturally "activating" the metabolism, you're able to turn back the body's internal clock, safely and effectively, and turn yourself into a 24-hour fat-burning machine! Now how cool is that?!
7-Keto™ What is it? The product of over 10 years of intense research, patented 7-Keto™ is a new breed of supplement - one engineered for specific results. Its ability to promote safe fat loss is a breakthrough in weight-loss supplements. It has also shown anti-aging actions and has been awarded patents for boosting the immune system and enhancing memory.
7-Keto has been shown to help our bodies burn more fat, faster, without the stimulating effects most thermogenics impart. This can be a real benefit for those who are sensitive to stimulants and those who wish to supplement for longer periods. As an added bonus, 7-Keto also supports the immune system and helps prevent age-related health complications.
Why is it in the Lean System 7 Formula? 7-Keto is an exciting, new breakthrough supplement, which is already creating interest both in the scientific community and in the real world. Recently developed and patented, 7-Keto was discovered by Dr. Henry Lardy, who spent 10 years examining the over 150 metabolites of the hormone DHEA in hopes of finding a nutrient that would impart the positive benefits of DHEA without its potential negative side effects. What Dr. Lardy discovered has been suggested by many researchers to be an even more potent nutrient than its parent compound as a thermogenic and immune and memory enhancer.
Most prominently, 7-Keto has been shown in clinical trials to be a potent weight-loss aid. You see, as we age, our metabolisms (the rate our bodies burn calories) begin to slow, and often, no matter how hard we resist, our bodies insist on burning less calories, particularly after the age of 25. The inevitable response is to store the "unburned" calories as fat, and thus, we have a harder time keeping unwanted weight off.
This may well be because the activity of the thyroid, which is the main metabolism regulator, also naturally declines with age. Consequently, as we eat, the food we used to easily "burn off" at a younger age is now held on by the body as stored energy - better known as fat. This is where 7-Keto can play a vital role in weight reduction and particularly in fat loss.
7-Keto is quite different in its mechanism of action in the body - it helps increase metabolic rate by way of the thyroid gland. A much safer approach to fat loss than stimulants.
What does the science say? A new peer-reviewed clinical trial reveals a significant reduction in both bodyweight and bodyfat in overweight adults by positively impacting thyroid functioning: in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 100 mg of 7-Keto taken twice daily for 8 weeks was shown to increase levels of the thyroid hormone T3 (or triiodothyronine) by an astounding, yet safe (within the normal range) 17.88 percent. The placebo group, by comparison, experienced an increase of only 2.75 percent. This is significant because T3 is not only the most active thyroid hormone but also has the greatest effect on metabolic rate. These results for fat loss faired positively as well: the 7-Keto group lost almost 3 times more fat than the placebo group.
Just as positively, impressive evidence has shown 7-Keto may be a potent immune-system booster, which could be significant for people who exercise. 7-Keto may help boost our immune functions by increasing antibody production in the white blood cells, thus enhancing their ability to fight certain diseases. It also appears to stimulate the production of interleukin-2, which is a hormone-like substance that can improve the body's response to disease and stimulate the growth of disease-fighting blood cells.
Yerba mate What is it? Yerba mate is a perennial (a plant that doesn't die at the end of the year) and member of the holly family, evident by its leathery leaves. It grows wild in the rainforests of Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, and Paraguay (where it is cultivated). Some time back, native people used to just chew the leaves of Yerba mate for a quick boost of energy and eat it in foods for a true "power lunch." Later, people ground up the leaves and added them to cold water, but now those seeking natural boosts of energy and fat-fighting properties can benefit from Yerba mate in a powdered supplement form.
Why is it in the Lean System 7 Formula? Active people looking for added endurance and energy, alertness, improved sleep, and enhanced immunity, all in a safe package, are beginning to discover this "secret" natural stimulant to boost physical and mental performance, without some of the unwanted side effects found with most of the more popular stimulants.
The herbal stimulant Yerba mate gives your brain a boost without making you nervous. You feel alert and sharp. Interestingly, unlike most other stimulants, it actually works as a tonic for the central nervous system, calming the body and mind. It has been shown to improve mood and concentration, reduce anxiety, and prevent mental fatigue.
While other stimulants, like ephedra, are feared to potentially have harmful effects on the heart, mate has been shown to actually be good for the heart. It may increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart during stress or exercise and may lower blood pressure and improve circulation in some people by relaxing blood vessels.
What does the science say? There are 196 chemicals in Yerba mate that are active in the body - including B vitamins; Vitamins A, C, and E; and the minerals calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and selenium. And mate has 11 polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants, but one of the most important compounds in mate is "mateine."
Mateine is a xanthine alkaloid. You might have heard of other xanthines, such as caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine. Mateine appears to possess the best combination of xanthine properties. Like other xanthines, it mildly stimulates the central nervous system, but unlike others, it doesn't appear to be addicting.
The result of the chemical combination in mate may, obviously, be a BIG increase in energy and fat burning. One of the most remarkable abilities of mate appears to be that it gives users energy without the muscle tension associated with caffeine. This is due to the xanthines in mate, which cause smooth muscle relaxation.
Dr. Torben Andersen at Charlottenlund Medical Centre in Denmark very recently studied 44 healthy overweight patients using an herbal combination of guarana and another two herbs, Yerba mate and damiana. Dr. Andersen's results were quite positive: those taking the herbal combination for 45 days lost an average of 5 kg (or about 11 lbs) compared to the placebo group who lost an average of only 0.45 kg (or about 1 lb) - a significant difference. What was also noteworthy was that the herbal combination also delayed gastric emptying by 20 minutes, which would lead to a feeling of fullness longer after eating a meal.
Incredibly, unlike most stimulants, mate does not interfere with sleep. In fact, it improves sleep and increases rapid eye movement (REM) sleep as well as the time spent in deep sleep (delta sleep). Many people report that they require less sleep when using mate because they sleep more soundly.
Bioperine® What is it? Casual thought may lead you to believe if you take more of a nutrient, more will be available for use by the body. Of course, this is not necessarily true; in fact, more from less is better and ultimately safer - as both a philosophy and a practice. Fortunately, we can now get more effectiveness from the nutrients we consume with Bioperine. Based on clinical data, having Bioperine in the digestive system with supplemented nutrients results in enhanced absorption. Studies show that when Bioperine is taken with other nutrients, it significantly increases the absorption of those nutrients.
Bioperine is a standardized extract from the fruits of Piper nigrum L. (black pepper, a common household spice) or Piper longum L. (long pepper). It contains a minimum piperine content of 95 percent compared to the 3 to 9 percent and 3 to 5 percent found in raw forms of Piper nigrum and Piper longum, respectively. Bioperine may be co-administered with various nutrients to assist in the uptake and utilization of those nutrients.
Why is it in the Lean System 7 Formula? The metabolic process that generates energy at the cellular level in our bodies is called thermogenesis. While thermogenesis has typically been categorized as a key factor in weight loss, to confine the scope of its function to this aspect alone would be incomplete. Thermogenesis plays an integral role in our bodies' ability to properly use the foods and nutrients we take in daily. It sets in motion the mechanisms that lead to digestion and subsequent gastrointestinal absorption. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine, enhances the body's natural thermogenic activity.
This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing thermal energy sufficient to "power up" mechanisms related to thermogenesis. This, in turn, results in increased metabolic processes that create a demand for a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism; i.e., vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, etc. It is as if Bioperine activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood. Based on available research, piperine is unique in its activity.
What does the science say? Bioperine is the only source of piperine to obtain patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. Bioperine is also the only source of piperine to undergo clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use. When Bioperine was administered orally to healthy humans in a dose of 5 mg per person per day, the serum levels of different tested nutrients significantly increased by up to 60 percent.
