There are so many different ideas out there on how to support fat loss and body composition goals. So how do you know which approach is the right one for you? It really can be a complete minefield deciding where to start. In this article we hope to offer some insight into the products and processes we have found most useful.
If you look on Facebook or any mainstream social media source, you will come across dozens of programs and people giving advice on how to lose weight, slim down and change their body composition. Some of these so-called experts make massive claims about what you will lose and how fast you will lose it.
How do you know if any of these approaches have what you are looking for? Well, you do not really, do you? That is why we prefer to take a different path. One based more on fact than hype, and one where common sense plays a bigger part.
There Is No Single Solution
There is no one thing that will support your body composition goals on its own. It is a combination of things such as eating well and exercising regularly. These two together ensure that you are fuelling your body with quality nutrition and using that energy as effectively as possible.
The Role of Supplements
Alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise, certain supplements are commonly used by those looking to complement their active lifestyle and body composition routine. Here are three from the Emrald Labs range that are popular choices:
Pre Shred
Emrald Labs Pre Shred is a low-calorie thermogenic pre-workout delivering 240mg of caffeine per double serve alongside a nootropic blend of Alpha-GPC, L-Theanine and L-Tyrosine, with fully transparent ingredient labelling and no proprietary blends. At just 12 calories per double serve, it is a practical pre-training option for those who want to support their energy and focus going into a session without unnecessary additives. With a 100% transparent label, you will clearly see exactly what is going into your body.
Carnitine+
Emrald Labs Carnitine+ is a stimulant-free multi-form carnitine powder combining three carnitine variants alongside CLA and InnoSlim. Carnitine is an amino acid derivative naturally found in red meat and dairy that plays a role in transporting fatty acids into cells for energy production, making it a popular choice in active lifestyle and body composition routines. The stimulant-free formulation means it can be used at any time of day and stacks easily alongside other supplements in your routine.
Acetyl L-Carnitine
Emrald Labs Acetyl L-Carnitine is a pharmaceutical-grade ALCAR powder in an unflavoured format. It is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that is commonly used as part of active lifestyle and body composition routines. ALCAR is a form of carnitine that is more readily absorbed than standard L-carnitine and is commonly used to support energy and focus during training and throughout the day. It is easy to stack with other supplements including Pre Shred or your post-workout protein shake.
These are three of the products we commonly recommend for those looking to complement their body composition routine with supplementation. If you would like any further information about any of these products or the broader Emrald Labs range, reach out to us. We are happy to help.
