Over the decades legions of bodybuilders have sought the ultimate in fat-burning substances. In their quest they have turned to various over-the-counter products, thyroid drugs and stimulants such as ephedrine. The problem with this approach can be summed up in one word: CATABOLISM.  At Species Nutrition, we reject the premise that the only way to effectively mobilize fat within the body for energy is to stimulate the ‘fight or flight’ response. While we don’t deny the fact that stimulants such as caffeine, ephedra and synephrine possess metabolism boosting and fat burning properties, they also have substantial drawbacks when it comes to muscle growth.
THE CORTISOL FACTOR
When we use traditional stimulants we provoke the adrenal glands into releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine. These ‘fat-mobilizing’ neurotransmitters in turn trigger the release of cortisol.  As bodybuilders, the last thing we want in our bodies is an excess production of cortisol.

The simple fact is that cortisol is an anabolic antagonist. When the body produces too much cortisol there is an increase in the breakdown of lean muscle tissue, suppression of immune function and a greater tendency to store fat in the abdominal area.  Further, upon discontinuing the use of stimulants, there is a strong possibility of a rebound effect.  In other words the body enters a fat storing mode for a period of time until it regulates itself from the effects of over stimulation. So, is it possible to maximize fat loss while controlling cortisol production? 
It certainly is. 

LIPOLYZE
At Species Nutrition we created LIPOLYZE to effectively address the problem of preventing cortisol release while promoting fat loss. This state-of-the-art formula represents a huge transformation in the way we traditionally approach fat loss. It is, without a doubt, the most potent non-stimulant based fat burner legally available.
In LIPOLYZE you will find the following ingredients in perfectly balanced amounts, scientifically formulated to create the ultimate synergistic reaction and promote maximum fat loss, while preserving muscle tissue:

USNIC ACID: Here at Species we have talked a lot about Usnic Acid…and with good reason. In terms of producing a thermogenic effect in the body, Usnic acid has little, if any, competition.  Usnic Acid achieves its effects without causing over stimulation of the Central Nervous System (CNS). This translates to no jitters, no nausea, no anxiety, no increase in blood pressure and no increase in heart rate. Usnic acid does not cause physical dependence within the body.  Those of you who ‘depend’ on your morning cup of coffee to kick start your day know what we are talking about here!  To read more on the fat-burning effects of Usnic Acid, Click Here. 

PROPIONYL – L – CARNITINE: L -Carnitine is a cellular transport system that shuttles long chain fats into the cellular mitochondria, where oxidation to the energy molecule ATP occurs.
In essence, the more L- Carnitine you have in your system, the greater your ability to burn fatty acids for energy. However, there is a catch.  Regular L-Carnitine lacks the ability to penetrate muscle tissue. This is why LIPOLYZE uses Propionyl-L-Carnitine in its formula. With this specialized form of L-Carnitine you have a substance with a tremendous ability to permeate skeletal muscle and thus facilitate the transport of long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for swift oxidation into useable energy.

CYCLIC AMP: Also known as cAMP (Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate), this substance is derived from the breakdown of ATP in the cells. Cyclic Amp is part of an energy ‘relay team’. Following stimulation of the cells’ receptors, cAMP makes sure all intercellular processes are performed in order that maximum fat burning can be achieved. cAMP also significantly increases the levels of thyroid hormone (Thyroxin) within the body, which in turn elevates metabolic rate.

GUGGULSTERONES: Speaking of the thyroid gland, Guggulsterones are one of the few natural substances that have a significant effect on thyroid function. The thyroid gland releases thyroxin (T4), which is an inactive form of thyroid hormone. Thyroxin is then converted to 1-triiodothyronine (T3) in various tissues, particularly the liver and kidneys. T3 is approximately 4 times as potent as T4 on a weight basis and its principle effect is to increase the metabolic rate of body tissues.

When dieting, however, the body tends to slow down the conversion of T4 to T3. This leads to a slowdown of the metabolic rate and a decreased level of fat loss. LIPOLYZE contains Guggulsterones Z & E which reverses this process by assisting the conversion of inactive T4 to T3, leading to the restoration of normal thyroid function and ultimately leads to fat loss.   

GREEN TEA EXTRACT: Not only does Green Tea have extremely powerful antioxidant qualities (similar to Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta carotene) it has also been shown to exert significant fat burning properties. In fact, in a study documented in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Green Tea Extract was found to cause a 4% increase in 24-hour energy expenditure, translating to a 35-43% increase in daytime thermogenesis. What’s interesting is that this occurs without an increase in heart rate, blood pressure or anxiety levels.
Another study showed that fat loss with Green Tea Extract seems to occur predominantly in the abdominal region. It was also noted that an inhibition of the enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine occurred, thus prolonging its biological effects. An inhibition of fat storage enzymes and a lowering of cholesterol levels have also been observed when Green Tea Extract was added to the diet.
So there you have it!  Five key ingredients and five good reasons to make LIPOLYZE an integral part of your supplement plan. LIPOLYZE leads the field when it comes to selectively causing fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass. It should therefore come as no surprise that LIPOLYZE comes to you exclusively from SPECIES NUTRITION…THE HOME OF EVOLUTIONARY NUTRITION.
