Caffeine in fitness and weight loss products comes from a variety of sources such as kola nut and green tea extract.Caffeine is an alkaloid, a methylxanthine that stimulates hormone-induced fat burning. Caffeine works by increasing free fatty-acid concentrations and adrenaline levels. This results in greater lipolysis (oxidation of fats for energy), which can drain your fat stores over time. This change in a muscle’s utilization of energy substrates can have a profound effect on fat loss. Caffeine also heightens mental alertness, which can positively affect your motivation to exercise and create the caloric deficit needed to lose body fat.
Caffeine is rapidly absorbed by the body and remains in circulation for more than seven hours. Plasma concentrations reach a peak one hour after it is consumed. It is then slowly metabolized, with a half-life of four to six hours.
Caffeine has been shown to dramatically increase free fatty-acid levels, providing the body with a fuel source that it can use instead of the glycogen stored in your liver and muscles. In fact, one (not related to Betalean Hp) study found a 100% increase in plasma free fatty acids after the subjects took 330 mg of caffeine.
At the same time, caffeine has been shown to increase adrenaline levels. This “fight-or-flight” hormone increases alertness and boosts energy levels, helping you to go through your daily tasks with less food intake. Most people experience a reduced appetite when their adrenaline levels are high, usually because they are focused on more essential tasks. With these two mechanisms, it’s easy to understand why caffeine is used in weight-loss products, and is important for jump-starting your weight-loss efforts.
Sources:
Caffeine mainly comes from these sources:- coffee
- tea
- cola nuts
- guarana

Without water you could exist no more than a few days. That is why water is considered the most important nutrient to our body.
- Approximately 60-65 percent of our bodies is made up of water.
- Muscle is is around 70 percent water, while fat is only 22 percent.
- Water is responsible for transporting needed nutrients to the body’s cells and transporting the waste out.
 How much water do we need daily? Some professionals say to drink 8 glasses of water a day, while others say 200mls - 300mls per kg of body weight. There is actually no scientific evidence to support either of these recommendations, though it is agreed that we need to drink quite a bit of water to keep our bodies functioning correctly.
Since no two people are alike we recommend drinking at least one glass of water approximately every hour providing you have no medical ailments. For example, some people with heart problems are unable to drink that much fluid or a dangerous amount of fluid buildup could occur. If you are one of these people consult with your physician for advice.
Your daily water intake could also vary depending on your physical activity level. The more active you are the more water your body will need. But having a large amount of water in one go is not the most effective way.
When you drink water, try to take small mouthfuls at a time and be consistent with your intake. You can also get water from a variety of othe sources like fruits, fruit juice, tea, soft drinks, and some foods; however the more water you drink in plain form the better. Since most city water contains chlorine and other unwanted contaminants we recommend drinking filtered water.
NOTE: Even though soft drinks contain water keep in mind that most also contain caffeine which actually dehydrates the body. In fact, any drink that contains caffeine will act as a diuretic which causes your body to lose water.
Water and Fat Loss: The levels of oxygen in the bloodstream are greater when the body is well hydrated. The more oxygen the body has readily available the more fat it will burn for energy. Without the presence of oxygen the body cannot utilize stored fat for energy efficiently. Not only will the body burn more fat when well hydrated but because the increased oxygen levels you will also have more energy and be more active.
Drink more water and your body will thank you for it!
