Multipower’s Double Effect fat loss capsules are specifically designed to work with the body, increasing metabolic rate and the body’s fat- burning abilities while inhibiting fat storage and supporting general health. The fat metabolising effect of green tea and the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin – two of the capsules’ ingredients – have been well demonstrated, but of particular interest are the effects of Capsimax™ chilli extract and Clarinol™ CLA. Clarinol CLA is an extract of two

different forms of conjugated linoleic acid. The effi cacy of CLA is disputed as not all forms (isomers) of CLA are active in the body. However, Clarinol contains the two isomers that have been shown to be active in reducing and controlling fat mass – in a study of over 100 people, participants receiving the CLA lost on average 2kg more body fat than the placebo group – without specifi c dietary or exercise interventions. Most of the fat was lost from ‘problem areas’: abdomen and hips in women, and the abdomen in men. Capsimax capsicum (chilli) extract is a
standardised preparation for the active ingredient capsaicin. Numerous studies demonstrate the effect of capsaicin on metabolic rate, appetite regulation and
body composition. In particular, a short- term investigation on capsaicin given in the same form and administration method as Double Effect showed signifi cant results in reducing fat mass and promoting lean mass on volunteers in just eight days. Other studies showed a signifi cant increase in fat oxidation, demonstrating an increased rate of fat being used for fuel; and an increase in free fatty acids and glycerol in the blood – a precursor to their use in exercise.
QNT’s NO+ Elite Pre-Workout formula is the result of cutting-edge research from QNT’s in-house R&D team. Available in powder form and as a convenient shot, the product contains a blend of arginine, creatine monohydrate and beta-alanine to increase explosive strength and power, delay muscle fatigue and improve recovery rates when training, stimulate larger muscle pumps and promote lean muscle tissue growth

– significantly boosting the body’s energy levels during workouts. The amino acid l-arginine helps
rid the body of ammonia, a waste product associated with muscle tissue breakdown. It also stimulates insulin, the body’s carbohydrate storage molecule, helping to re-fuel muscles, and helps produce nitric oxide (NO). NO induces vasodilation (increased blood vessel size), which lowers blood pressure and heart rate and also helps deliver increased levels of oxygen and nutrients to active muscles.

Creatine monohydrate – a
phosphate-carrying molecule that helps re-synthesise the body’s energy systems – is proven to decrease recovery time between sets and increase explosive strength and power. Meanwhile, beta-alanine has been shown in studies to delay muscle fatigue by increasing muscle carnosine levels, which helps to improve the integrity of muscle tissue when it is subjected to the stress of intense exercise. The product also contains lactic acid
buffering ingredients, which help prevent muscle tissue damage and increase creatine absorption.
Reflex Instant Whey has native whey among its ingredients – a very different kind of whey protein with significant benefits to strenuous exercisers.
