“…Various studies have investigated strategies to reduce body fat [1][2][3][4] to improve the physical performance of exercise practitioners and athletes [5], as well as to enhance the life quality of the population. Taurine is a free intracellular nitrogenous compound derived from methionine and cysteine, mainly found in abundance in seafood [6].…”

Taurine Supplementation Increases Post-Exercise Lipid Oxidation at Moderate Intensity in Fasted Healthy Males

et al. 2020

Based on the fact that taurine can increase lipid metabolism, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of acute taurine supplementation on lipid oxidation levels in healthy young men after a single bout of fasting aerobic exercise. A double-blind, acute, and crossover study design was conducted. Seventeen men (age 24.8 ± 4.07y; BMI: 23.9 ± 2.57 kg/m²) participated in the present study. Different doses of taurine (TAU) (3 g or 6 g) or placebo were supplemented 90 min before a single bout of fasting aerobic exercise (on a treadmill at 60% of VO2 max). The subjects performed three trials, and each one was separated by seven days. Blood samples were collected at baseline and after the exercise protocol of each test to analyze plasma levels of glycerol and taurine. Lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were determined immediately after exercise for 15 min by indirect calorimetry. We observed that TAU supplementation (6 g) increased lipid oxidation (38%) and reduced the respiratory coefficient (4%) when compared to the placebo (p < 0.05). However, no differences in lipid oxidation were observed between the different doses of taurine (3 g and 6 g). For glycerol concentrations, there were no differences between trials. Six grams of TAU supplementation 90 min before a single bout of aerobic exercise in a fasted state was sufficient to increase the lipid oxidation post-exercise in healthy young men.

“…Green tea is rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Several clinical trials have shown that EGCG assumption is associated with a statistically significant reduction in body weight, BMI and visceral fat [53][54][55][56]69]. These effects have often been studied in association with the consumption of caffeine, which seems to act in synergy with EGCG in reducing body weight [70].…”

Natural Bioactive Compounds Useful in Clinical Management of Metabolic Syndrome

et al. 2021

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical manifestation characterized by a plethora of comorbidities, including hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia. All MetS comorbidities participate to induce a low-grade inflammation state and oxidative stress, typical of this syndrome. MetS is related to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and early death, with an important impact on health-care costs. For its clinic management a poly-pharmaceutical therapy is often required, but this can cause side effects and reduce the patient’s compliance. For this reason, finding a valid and alternative therapeutic strategy, natural and free of side effects, could represent a useful tool in the fight the MetS. In this context, the use of functional foods, and the assumption of natural bioactive compounds (NBCs), could exert beneficial effects on body weight, blood pressure and glucose metabolism control, on endothelial damage, on the improvement of lipid profile, on the inflammatory state, and on oxidative stress. This review focuses on the possible beneficial role of NBCs in the prevention and in the clinical management of MetS and its comorbidities.

“…The effectiveness of GT in reducing body weight and fat is widely discussed in the literature. GT derived EGCG in variable quantities (100-460 mg/day) exhibits measurable weight-loss properties in a large majority of studies according to a recent review and one meta-analysis, especially for trial durations of three or more months [43,44]. In addition, the consumption of caffeine at doses between 80 and 300 mg/day has been shown to be an important factor for these effects, when the participants did not have a high baseline caffeine intake (>300 mg/day).…”

Current Evidence to Propose Different Food Supplements for Weight Loss: A Comprehensive Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The use of food supplements for weight loss purposes has rapidly gained popularity as the prevalence of obesity increases. Navigating through the vast, often low quality, literature available is challenging, as is providing informed advice to those asking for it. Herein, we provide a comprehensive literature revision focusing on most currently marketed dietary supplements claimed to favor weight loss, classifying them by their purported mechanism of action. We conclude by proposing a combination of supplements most supported by current evidence, that leverages all mechanisms of action possibly leading to a synergistic effect and greater weight loss in the foreseen absence of adverse events. Further studies will be needed to confirm the weight loss and metabolic improvement that may be obtained through the use of the proposed combination.
