Help with metabolism, thermogenic

Thermogenic supplements help burn extra fat along with a healthy diet and exercise.  Here are some ingredients found in common thermogenics and why they may help.

Calcium Glycinate- Good form of calcium- have covered before
Vitamin B6- covered before
Niacin- same as B6
Chromium Picolinate-  I have a whole post on this awesome supplement!
Vitamin B12- great for energy and we've discussed before
Folic Acid- a vitamin almost everyone is deficient in- prevents anemia
Caralluma Fimbriata Extract- This is a plant from India.  Traditionally tribes in the area of the world that this plant grows use this plant by chewing on it to keep from being hungry during long hunts.  It also is used to increase endurance.  In studies, it may decrease waistline, feelings of hunger and help decrease calorie intake.  It's know to be safe for up to 60 days.  Some side effects are mostly stomach upset.  Find more here: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1160-caralluma.aspx?activeingredientid=1160&
Citrus Reticulata/Nelumbo Nucifera blend-  Citrus Reticulata is the same as Clementines, while Nelumbo Nucifera is a Lotus plant. This blend is designed as a stimulant ingredient, but there is no specific scientific studies I could find on these particular ingredients.  
Yerba Mate Extract- covered before- so check out that post. 
Green Tea Extract- once again, covered before- this is a source of caffeine in this product.
NuFLOW- this isn't an ingredient as much as a binder that doesn't affect the ingredients. 

Any product should be checked with your doctor/medical provider to see if it's safe for you.
