1. Alpha Lipoic Acid

• Role: A universal antioxidant and cofactor in mitochondrial energy production.
• Potential Benefits: Improved insulin sensitivity, possibly leading to fewer blood sugar spikes.
• Why It Matters: By supporting stable glucose levels, the body is less likely to store fat and more likely to keep burning it. ALA also recycles other antioxidants like Vitamin C and E, offering broader cellular protection.

2. Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) Leaf Extract

• Key Compound: EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), widely studied for its fat-burning and thermogenic properties.
• Mechanism: EGCG can enhance metabolic rate and support fat oxidation, often amplifying the mild thermic effect of cold water.
• Additional Perks: May help reduce inflammation and provide gentle energy without jittery effects.

3. Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) Seed Extract

• Primary Active: Silymarin, known for its liver-protective qualities.
• Importance: Healthy liver function is essential for breaking down fats, processing hormones, and detoxifying the blood. A sluggish liver can slow your metabolism.
• Reputation: Milk Thistle has been used for centuries in herbal medicine as a support for overall liver health.

4. Berberine HCl (from Berberis aristata)

• Claim to Fame: Berberine is known to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, sometimes compared to prescription medications in terms of its potency.
• Fat Loss Link: By stabilizing blood sugar, berberine can reduce cravings, prevent midday slumps, and encourage fat release.
• Bonus: Some data suggest berberine can also support healthy gut flora, which in turn can influence weight and well-being.

5. Resveratrol (Polygonum cuspidatum)

• Antioxidant Profile: Often associated with red wine, resveratrol is studied for its anti-aging and cardiovascular benefits.
• Possible Metabolic Impact: Might help reduce inflammation, support mitochondrial function, and assist in healthy metabolism.
• Synergy Note: When combined with EGCG and a thermogenic environment, resveratrol could further push the body toward fat oxidation.

6. Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) Fruit

• Key Compound: Capsaicin, a thermogenic agent known to increase calorie burning and potentially reduce appetite.
• Effect: You may feel a mild warming sensation, indicative of heightened metabolic activity.
• Relevance: Cayenne is a staple in many natural “fat burners,” but here it’s used to augment the cold-water-based spike.

7. Korean Ginseng (Panax ginseng)

• Role: An adaptogen traditionally used to manage stress, boost energy, and support immunity.
• Possible Weight Benefits: May help reduce stress-related overeating by balancing cortisol.
• Why in Aqua Sculpt?: Stress is a major factor in weight gain. Ginseng might keep you calm and resilient, complementing the physical fat-burning process.

8. Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) Leaf Extract

• Primary Benefit: Contains corosolic acid, which supports healthy blood sugar levels and insulin function.
• Link to Cravings: Better insulin management typically means fewer roller-coaster cravings for sweets and high-carb foods.
• Overall Metabolic Support: Combining banaba with berberine can offer a “one-two punch” for keeping blood sugar stable.

Note on Minerals: Aqua Sculpt also includes Zinc and Chromium. Zinc supports numerous enzymes relevant to metabolism and immune function, while Chromium (often in the picolinate form) can enhance insulin’s effectiveness. Both minerals are common in weight loss or fitness supplements for their supportive roles in metabolic regulation
