Weight Control
Stepped on a scale lately? In recent Gallup polls, the percentage of Americans self-reporting as obese has increased again, with 38% reporting obesity in 2023, up from 32% in 2019. This increase was particularly notable after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the number of Americans who view themselves as overweight has also risen, with 43% holding this view in 2024. While most Americans, 55%, express a desire to lose weight, only 27% are actively working towards that goal. This is something to think about! Years ago, Russian, and Georgian researchers found that by reducing stress, weight loss became more possible. So, we sought a different path to aid in weight loss without stressing out over it. The Rhodiola rosea used in Ameriden’s CLEARMIND® has been evaluated in case studies to reduce stress leading to binge eating and other disorders. Rhodiola rosea increases the breakdown of triglycerides stored in fat tissue. (1) Rhodiola rosea is an Adaptogen, and Adaptogens are King when it comes to safely adjusting or correcting actions in your body via neurotransmitters like dopamine & cortisol. (2) Cortisol, often known as the stress hormone. It has a significant link to binge eating behavior and elevated cortisol levels can increase appetite, particularly for foods high in fat, sugar, or both. To help enhance CLEARMIND® we added black currant (Ribes nigrum) which can increase fat oxidation and improve metabolism. It is super beneficial for weight management and promoted as a metabolic enhancer and fat-burning aid.
To top off this new weight management path we added phosphatidylserine (PS). While not a primary thermogenic, the phosphatidylserine in CLEARMIND® indirectly supports thermogenesis and potentially aids in weight management. Research indicates that phosphatidylserine can enhance mitochondrial function and promote UCP1 expression in adipose tissue, leading to increased energy expenditure and potentially counteracting obesity long term.
What this could mean for you, if added to your daily regime CLEARMIND® could become your perfect choice not only for thinking, but a lighter you as well.
