LipidFX
July 8th, 2007 by Paul JohnsonLipidFX is a fairly recent supplement by the company SciVation. It has some interesting ingredients that are supposed to help play a role in losing fat. The question is, does it work?
About LipidFX:
LipidFX activates PPARalpha (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors). The ingredients are 3 fatty acids: Oleoylethanolamide, Stearoylethanolamide, TetradecylThioacetic Acid, and EGCG (green tea extract).
How LipidFX works:
Based on research the ingredients in LipidFX should: increase metabolism and fat loss, help control appetite, and promote cardiovascular and immune health. It should also help promote burning fat instead of muscle loss during dieting.
LipidFX main activity is based on the activation of PPARalpha. Why is this important? PPARalpha activation increases fat oxidation( Fat breakdown) in mitochondria(cell’s energy powerhouse) and peroxisomes of cells by increasing the expression of enzymes involved in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids.
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) - in LipidFX activates the PPARalpha, As a result of this activation it causes anorexic qualities(decrease appetite) and weight loss.
Stearoylethanolamide (SEA) - has an anorexic effect independant of activating the PPARalpha. It also is involved in reducing liver stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1) mRNA expression. According to research this should lead to increased fat loss and reduced fat storage.
TetradecylThioacetic Acid (TTA) - like the other fatty acid in LipidFX (OEA) also activates PPARalpha. It works together with OEA and also has increases insulin sensitivity. Increasing insulin sensitivity plays a role in preventing fat storage.
ECGC (green tea extract) - has been proven in studies to dramatically raise a person’s metabolism.
Does LipidFX really work?
Yes, based on feedback of other bodybuilders and research. According to research all these compounds should work together to be a dramatic fat burning combination. The appetite suppressing effects may take 3 to 6 days to kick in, but once it does it will help keep you sticking to your cutting diet. Another bonus is it’s stimulant free. No worries about heart rate, jitteriness, insomnia, or overdosing like with ephedrine. Get fat burning effects around the clock.
