Metabolic Accelerator PM – A Powerhouse Stimulant-Free Thermogenic

CaloriBurn™ Grains of Paradise (GP), also known as Aframomum melegueta, is a member of the Ginger family, a family of roots that has been used to treat various ailments and illnesses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine for ages.[3] Though this family of herbs grows plentiful in much of Asia, GP is most abundant in West Africa, where the seeds of the plant have long been utilized as a spice in cooking.

With such high concentrations of strong bioactive compounds like 6-gingerol, 6-paradol, and 6-shogaol, grains of paradise seeds pack quite a bit of heat when used to flavor recipes! However, as modern science continued to investigate the biological properties, they slowly discovered more and more about the plant, unveiling other potential uses.

Research has shown that the individual components that make up GP seeds have some strong capabilities, with gingerol typically grabbing most of the spotlight. This chemical has proved impressive in terms of its abilities to lower blood glucose and reduce inflammation,[4,5] which has made ginger and its relative favorites within the health world. Other research has found similar capabilities in both paradol and shogaol,[6] with the former of which also showing promise as a neuroprotective substance.[7] But all three together, such as is the case in GP, and you really start cooking.

Decreased Blood Glucose Levels

In 2013, researchers found that varying doses of Aframomum melegueta decreased blood glucose in a dose-dependent manner,[8] an effect that coincides with what we’d expect – the individual components have shown potential in blood sugar management, so it makes sense the entire extract does, too. If you know anything about blood glucose level management, you know how crucial it is in regulating body weight, specifically in body fat storage.

If you’re constantly burning sugar and have elevated blood sugar and insulin levels, you won’t be beta-oxidizing (ie burning) fat![9,10] And, as it turns out, that’s not all GP does in terms of fat mass!

The key – targeting brown adipose tissue!

Researchers found that the GP group experienced decreased visceral fat in the lower abdomen while the placebo group saw slightly increased visceral fat in the same area.[14]
Most know that when the body is in a caloric surplus (eg. the body has more energy available than it needs) and insulin levels are high, it stores that energy for later use. Once muscles are adequately fed and supported, the body’s preferred storage method is to turn that excess energy into adipose tissue, or fat. There are two kinds of fat, white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. White adipose tissue is, at its core, a storage site – it’s main function is to hold energy. However, brown adipose tissue is a bit more of the “expendable” kind, dissipating its caloric value in order to generate heat.[11]

While we don’t have much control over the split between white fatty tissue and brown fatty tissue, it’s highly desirable to have more brown fatty tissue compared to the “hard-to-lose” white fatty tissue. Research has found that holding a higher ratio of brown fatty tissue can potentially increase energy expenditure, and in turn, decrease body fat.[12] In simple terms, brown fat is more willing to give itself up for use, leading it paramount importance in a weight-loss endeavor.

By expending energy previously stored as brown adipose tissue, it’s possible to not only maintain energy levels but also lose body fat. For anyone interested in losing weight, this is an obvious desire, so we need to flip this metabolic switch. It turns out this process may be aided by supplementing with grains of paradise!

Bringing the heat in clinical research…

In 2011, researchers injected lab mice with GP extract in order to measure the relationship between the spice and brown fatty tissue. What they found confirmed a positive relationship – not only did GP stimulate nerve activity within brown fatty tissue, the effects lasted for as long as three hours![13] Furthermore, they found that the temperature of the tissue increased in response to this stimulation.[13]

By activating brown fatty tissue and raising body temperature, the body responds pretty simply – burn it off and maintain normal temperatures. The outcome? More energy expenditure, less body fat, and a return to baseline normalcy!
Great preliminary research, but that was an injection into animals — clearly we needed more data:

Acute usage works…

Energy expenditure change (ΔEE) after oral ingestion of Grains of Paradise.[2] This spice helps melt away those stubborn pounds!
Evidence of the above relationship encouraged further investigation, and researchers undertook the challenge in 2013. Using an ethanol-derived extract of grains of paradise, 19 healthy men between the ages of 20 and 23 were administered 40mg of GP in a single-blind, placebo-controlled study. After 24 hours, scientists measured whole body energy expenditure and compared it to rates prior to taking the extract.

They found that although no differences existed between groups before administration, those that took grains of paradise raised energy expenditure levels by 5% in only two hours compared to the control group.[2] Grains of paradise, in a way, targeted brown adipose tissue for use and was effectively able to burn it off!

5% may not seem like a lot, and it certainly doesn’t mean we can stuff our faces full of donuts fried in vegetable oil, but any dieter who’s hit a plateau would gladly take that 5% increase – especially if it can be taken twice a day for a month!

…and usage from daily use works too!

The researchers in the previous study took things a step further – in 2014, they decided to expand their timespan to a full month, while setting GP dosage to 30mg per day. In this single-blind, placebo-controlled study, 19 healthy females aged between 20 and 22 either took 30mg of GP per day or a placebo, with whole-body energy expenditure and visceral body fat tested at the beginning and end of the study.

Upon completion, the spice proved successful yet again – those given grains of paradise significantly increased energy expenditure and decreased visceral (organ-surrounding) fat.[14] These results were statistically significant both for each subject and across groups, as well, with the GP group burning around 100 calories more per day than placebo!
However, it’s important to note that the researchers did not see any significant changes in subcutaneous (under-the-skin) fat or in overall body fat. This led the researchers to conclude that GP can help attenuate weight gain, though mainly in “preventing visceral fat accumulation.”[14]

In other words, Metabolic Accelerator PM can certainly give you a fat-burning boost, but it will by no means do all the work for you!
