ALRI - Zero-Stim (120 Caps)

WHAT IS ZERO-STIM™ FORMULATED TO SUPPORT?

• Inhibits Fat Storage and Oxidation
• Helps Burn Stubborn Fat by wasting calories
• Protects Lean Tissue
• Supports Thyroid Health
• Suppresses appetite

Zero-Stim™ CONTAINS:
Theobroma Cacao Concentrate (90% oleoylethanolamide)
-This powerful concentrate is also known as OEA. Users of OEA quickly note a decrease in hunger. When you eat, OEA levels increase and this fat lipid works to decrease your appetite by informing the sensory nerves, which provide feedback to your brain telling you that you are full. By consuming extra OEA as in Zero-Stim™, you are essentially tricking your body into thinking that you have already eaten. This in turn will activate PPAR alpha, which will decrease appetite, support fat burning and help block unwanted fat storage. The really cool thing about OEA is its non-stimulant effects!

Punica Granatum Flower Concentrate
-Punica Granatum Flower Concentrate has shown positive influence on activators, which are widely used in the treatment of type-2 diabetes with a major focus on improving the sensitivity of insulin receptors. The major active compound in Punica Granatum Flower is gallic acid. Research shows the support of gallic acid, which inhibits fat cells from feeding on glucose and the right extraction, has been shown in mammal studies to induce muscle cell insulin sensitivity. When fat is starved and muscle is fed, you will have a favourable change in body composition.

*NOTE: Insulin Sensitivity and Fat:
-One reason that we accumulate fat is due to insulin. Insulin is one of the most anabolic substances on the planet, but unfortunately it can be anabolic to fat cells as well. The reason is because of partitioning meaning that insulin can store calories in fat or muscle. As we gain fat, muscle cells tend to become less sensitive to insulin and fat cells tend to become ever so accommodating. This then results in the fat getting the lion's share of consumed calories. When you diet or cut caloric intake, the muscle starts to shrink and the fat cells have the upper hand in the fight for calories, which is why most lose more muscle than fat when dieting. Therefore, the goal is to stimulate muscle cell insulin sensitivity and decrease fat cell feeding frenzies. This repartitioning effect is of paramount importance in favourably altering your body composition.

Clary Sage Concentrate
-Clary Sage Extract has a really cool effect due to its cAMP stimulating value. There is a significant similarity between compounds in this interesting herb and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). As most are aware, increased TSH means fat burning anabolism, thereby promoting T-3 production.

The TSH-like effect that clary sage extract stimulates, triggers an enzyme called adenylate cyclase in the thyroid. This results in an increase in cAMP activity and subsequently extra T-3 production. This is important because it is done naturally, which means there is no suppression of your existing T-3 levels. Furthermore, since there is an increase in cAMP, there is an accompanying increase in nitrogen retention.

Beta AET ECPE
-This DHEA metabolite specifically formulated by ALR Industries promotes fat loss and lean mass retention. We have all heard and in many cases experienced, the positive effects of DHEA and its even better metabolites. More specifically, Beta-AET ECPE inhibits the 11b-HSD-1 enzyme both locally and systemically. This means that there is less conversion of cortisone to cortisol in muscle as a result of training and everywhere else due to stress like dieting. Based upon the studies, it appears that in mediating this pathway, Beta-AET ECPE increases immune function and aids in the recovery of cells as well. It also has a stimulatory affect upon the thyroid gland to support natural thyroid hormone production. Therefore, you end up with less cortisol, a higher metabolic rate, inhibition of that nasty negative thyroid hormone production feedback loop, less fat, more lean muscle and positive support to your health.
