Adipokinetix Supplement
By: Derek Cornelius
What the heck is Adipokinetix? Indeed, it’s a weird name, but it’s chock full of meaning. Before migrating, birds eat great amounts of food in preparation for their long journey so they acquire large stores of adipose tissue, or fat. How is the fat mobilized? How is the precious proteinaceous tissue, such as muscles and organs, preserved? Luckily for the birds, their bodies contain something called the Adipokinetic Hormone. Adipo refers to adipose tissue and kinetic means movement. Thus, this hormone moves or mobilizes fat tissue and preserves proteinaceous tissues during a bird’s long migration.
Adipokinetix is a new fat-loss supplement that works in humans very similarly to the way the Adipokinetix Hormone works in birds. It mobilizes and burns fat tissue without sacrificing muscle and organ tissue. You’re no doubt familiar with the ECA stack—a combination of ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin. Adipokinetix is similar to ECA but is a vast improvement. It takes fat mobilization and burning to a new level. Adipokinetix contains a precise combination of 1R,2S norephedrine HCl, caffeine and yohimbine HCl. The aspirin is left out because some people are sensitive to it. Furthermore, aspirin is cheap, easy to get and can be easily added to the stack if you can tolerate it.
The first two compounds—1R,2S norephedrine and caffeine—work together in much the same way that ephedrine and caffeine work. The difference is that studies have shown norephedrine to be the most potent and most thermogenic of the ephedrine alkaloids. Norephedrine also lacks some of the central nervous system stimulating effects of ephedrine. In practical terms this means that an individual will still feel a little wired but not nearly as much as he or she will feel with ephedrine. Another plus for norephedrine is that it doesn’t have the negative associations that ephedrine has—there are no Food and Drug Administration restrictions and no negative publicity. In the coming years norephedrine will definitely be the compound of choice for easy, effective weight loss—instead of the ECA stack, you’ll hear about the NCA stack.
Norephedrine and caffeine work synergistically to drastically increase the body’s production of adrenaline and noradrenaline—the adrenergic hormones. These hormones bind to the adrenergic receptors. There are a number of different adrenergic receptors: the alpha sub 1, alpha sub 2, beta sub 1, beta sub 2 and beta sub 3. We are mainly interested in the alpha sub 2, beta sub 2, and beta sub 3 receptors—for they’re the ones that mainly affect fat loss and mobilization.
Among other things, the beta sub 2 and beta sub 3 receptors are responsible for the mobilization and burning of adipose tissue; they are the receptors that you want to stimulate, for they ultimately affect fat loss in a positive way. Another positive benefit of stimulating the beta sub 2 receptors is an anticatabolic effect on proteinaceous tissues. Thus, you simultaneously lose fat without sacrificing much or any muscle tissue.
The other receptor that we’re interested in is the alpha sub 2 receptor. Studies have shown that it blocks the mobilization of adipose tissue. In terms of fat loss, it’s the bad guy. In fact, it’s the receptor that causes women to have a harder time losing adipose tissue—especially in their lower bodies. Women have many more alpha sub 2 receptors than men, and they have an even greater number in their lower bodies. To combat those nasty receptors, we need a hero, a compound that is naturally occurring, easy to get, potent, lacking negative side effects and able to block them. Yohimbine is the answer.
Yohimbine does all of the above with an added bonus—it’s a proven aphrodisiac. Thus, with Adipokinetix you can lose fat, preserve muscle tissue and at the same time increase your sex drive—regardless of your gender. Both men and women benefit. Yohimbine vastly improves the effectiveness of the norephedrine and the caffeine by allowing the increased adrenergic hormones to do their job. Basically, it cripples your body’s negative feedback loop for maintaining your bodyfat.
Adipokinetix is unique and destined to be the future of fat-loss pills. If you want your adipose tissues to fly off of you like a bird during migration, Adipokinetix is your answer.
