What's In Lean Dreams and Why?
- Oleamide: Endogenous sleep modulator
- Tryptophane Ethyl Ester: Precursor to Serotonin, 5-HTP and melatonin.
- Baicalin: Calming substrate and anti-cortisol
- Jujube 2%: Used in folk medicine to promote restorative sleep.
- Valerian: Calming agent and sleep aid.
- Berberine: GH stimulation by way central cholinergic system, sleep aid.
- Hispidulin: GH modulation, uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation and
anti-oxidant.
- Rotundine: Sleep augmentation
- Magnolia Extract: Cortisol inhibition support.
- Melatonin: Master sleep hormone and anti-oxidant, cholinergic system
protestant.
- Piperine: Increases oral bioavailablity
Come on now, anyone who has experienced the fat loss and appetite modulating
results from the new over-the-top energy phenomenon Hyperdrive 3.0 knows
the need for a Night-Time Formula that will continue to modulate fat oxidation,
yet support relaxation. You simply cannot stay wired 24/7. Sleep is possibly one
of the best natural tools for recovery we can maximize due to a very healthy
increase in GH release, IGF-1 conversion and a period where glycogen stores can
be replenished to a point of fueling tissue regeneration. Over half of our
natural daily GH secretion occurs while we sleep...and we can produce more. In
short, we heal the damage we did during the day best while we sleep and burn fat
for fuel (cool deal, huh?), if we can create the right environment.
For many years hard-core athletes have used prescription drugs like Clonidine
to increase nocturnal growth hormone release 200% and more. Though Clonidine is
prescribed for GH stimulation and induced relaxation/sleep has been well noted.
Though this has been reported as effective, it is dangerous as well. The key to
this GH releasing/relaxation action is triggering the central cholinergic
system, mainly through the presynaptic mechanisms.
Cortisol Promotes Fat Storage
Several hormones and hormone-like-substances trigger catabolism or muscle
wasting. Glucagon does so by setting into motion a series of metabolic events
that result in the release of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose/glycogen
from body tissues to restore blood circulatory glucose and energy substrate
levels. However, the group we are most concerned with are called corticosteroids
or glucocorticoids.
This is a group of steroids that originate at the adrenal cortex of the
adrenal glands (above your kidneys). The most commonly discussed hormone of this
group is cortisol. When a cortisol molecule merges with a muscle cell cortisol
receptor-site, it triggers the release of amino acids from the cell. That
probably does not sound like a big deal until you realize that these amino acids
come from the breaking down of the muscle cell proteins. This of course means
all of that hard earned lean mass tissue begins to waste away and become energy,
heat or toilet trash. Cortisol levels are elevated as a result of stress.
Unfortunately, the body views stress stimuli, such as increases in muscle tissue
mass, training, sickness, dieting and the spouse or semi-spouse in a bad mood,
as reason to increase circulatory cortisol levels. Cortisol production can also
inhibit endogenous GH and testosterone production while fueling pathways that
allow fat accumulation.
Several studies have now validated that a main factor in fat storage (mostly
around the waist and upper thighs) is increased cortisol production. As a
result, the amount of fat we add to our waist daily can be favorably altered
with a little control. Naturally, relaxation and sleep are paramount, but
decreasing total cortisol production alone has a profound affect upon body
composition.
Oxidative Phosphorylation Uncoupler
Normally, the mitochondria in our cells process do a process that converts
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) into ATP (adenosine Triphosphate). As a rule the
process is about 60% efficient, which means there is about 40% of the energy
wasted. Now keep in mind that this “energy” is made food stores like fats, amino
acids and glucose. When we exercise, this process accelerates and raises our
metabolic rate. (More calories are burned as a result) The process is called
oxidative phosphorylation. Since ATP is the high-energy chemical our bodies
utilize for intense training, recovery and heat production, anything that
compromises this process will make cellular mitochondria work harder and expend
more energy as heat. (Body temperature rises)
Some herbal extracts act as oxidative phosphorylation uncouplers. In doing so
they make the process only about 40% efficient by uncoupling a high energy
phosphate molecule from ATP and therefore turning ATP into ADP. To maintain an
adequate supply of ATP, the body must step-up production. As a result resting
metabolic rate is significantly increased and an incredible amount of calories
are burned. During this accelerated metabolic state, and due to the need for ATP
production, most of the calories come from fatty acids (adipose/fat tissue). So
little or no muscle is lost…with adequate protein intake and proper GH
modulation).
Putting It All Together
Lean Dreams is uniquely designed to help us relax and sleep better while
fueling the pathways that result in prioritized fat burning and lean tissue
sparing recovery. Our goal is provide optimized results through optimized
support and modulation of GH, Cortisol, Uncoupling of Oxidative Phosphorylation,
rest and sleep.
