Leviathan Reloaded Ingredient Write up:
3,3'-Diindolylmethane:
Diindolylmethane may help support the activity of specific enzymes that improve
estrogen metabolism. Research shows diindolylmethane helps increase the level
of "good" estrogens (2-hydroxyestrogen) while reducing the level
of "bad" estrogens (16-hydroxyestrogen). Diindolylmethane helps
to eliminate active estrogen from the male body by actively promoting its
conversion into the "good" metabolites. These "good" metabolites
then work to free up testosterone by bumping it off the testosterone-binding
proteins. The end result of this is a healthier balance of testosterone to
estrogen and increased free testosterone circulating in the body. The ‘good'
estrogen metabolites, along with increased free testosterone promoted by
DIM, increase fat mobilization and fat-burning metabolism
Tribulus Terrestris 80% Saponins 20% Protodioscin:
The Tribulus Terrestris used in Leviathan is standardized to 80% Saponins,
20% Protodioscin...the highest grade extract available, and it has been
shown to raise testosterone levels safely and naturally, and is rumored
to be the secret behind the success of many top Bulgarian weightlifters.
By raising testosterone levels safely and naturally, and then keeping them
elevated for long periods, Tribulus Terrestris will increase lean muscle,
strength and sexual performance. Instead of being a hormonal testosterone
precursor, Tribulus Terrestris leads to a rise in the production of luteinizing
hormone. When luteinizing hormone levels are increased, the natural production
of testosterone also increases.
Yohimbine HCl:
Yohimbine HCl increases the amount of non-esterfied fatty acids (NEFAs),
a product of lipolysis (the breaking down of fat), in the bloodstream in
both lean and obese individuals. Yohimbine has also been shown to possess
appetite suppressant potential and decreases energy intake which allows
you to exercise longer. Yohimbine stimulates fat loss by stimulating the
increased production of Norephinephrine by the body while acting as an
Alpha Receptor blocker on adipose tissue cells. With the majority of alpha
receptors blocked, greater numbers of beta receptors are left open for
the increased volume of the fat burning hormone Norephinephrine to attach
to. The binding of the Norephinephrine to the adipose tissue beta receptors
stimulates Lipolysis of greater numbers of the fat cells.
11-Hydroxy Yohimbine
Brand new to the industry and at least 5 times more expensive then regular
Yohimbine HCl, 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine still produces all the same great fat
burning effects of Yohimbine but instead of only staying active in your
system for 1 to 2 hours like Yohimbine HCl, 11-Hydroxy Yohimbine actually
stays active in your system for 6 to 8 hours. This increased duration of
activity allows for significantly more fat oxidation to occur.
Caffeine Anhydrous:
Caffeine is a general central nervous system stimulant that increases mental
stimulation and incites the release of epinephrine (adrenaline). Through
a process called Lipolysis, Caffeine stimulates mobilization of fatty acids
which may have effects on fat oxidation for weight loss or endurance performance.
Caffeine also encourages the release of calcium into muscle cells, where
it can stimulate more powerful muscle contractions that helps in increased
athletic performance.
Coleus Forskohili 20% Forskolin:
Forskolin, the active component of Coleus Forskohili, works by activating
the enzyme adenylate cyclase. When adenylate cyclase is activated in the
body it then converts to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Dramatically
increasing levels of cAMP has many effects for fat loss purposes. The main
purpose revolves around the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase,
which in turn activates hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), which ultimately
breaks down fat and releases it as free fatty acids in the bloodstream
through lipolysis. In addition, there is an added bonus; forskolin also
acts as a thyroid stimulant, most likely through a cAMP-mediated process.
As most of us know, the thyroid is responsible for metabolic rate via the
hormones it releases in to the blood stream. Therefore, increasing production
of the thyroid through Forskolin supplementation results in an increase
in metabolism.
Acacia Rigidula:
A very new ingredient to the industry Acacia Rigidula has show promising
benefits in helping to stimulate metabolic rate and suppressing appetite.
Leviathan Reloaded is one of the very first products to bring this powerful
new ingredient to market.
Hordenine
Hordenine has been included in Reloaded for multiple reasons. The first and
most important reason for Hordenine’s inclusion was its ability to
stimulate production of Norephinephrine. As we know from the write up on
Yohimbine HCl and 11-Hydroxy-Yohimbine the binding of the Norephinephrine
to the adipose tissue beta receptors stimulates Lipolysis of greater numbers
of the fat cells. When Lipolysis occurs, the released lipids are burned
for energy and a reduction in body fat percentage begins to take place.
Two other functions of Hordenine are its ability to slow digestion, which
leads to appetite suppression, and its ability to increase athletic performance
due to classification of being a bronchodilator. Bronchodilator’s
expand the airways and improve the breathing capacity of humans.
PEA (Phenylethylamine)
PEA is a neuromodulator naturally derived from the cocoa bean involved in
elevating mood, focus, mental alertness, concentration, energy and well
being. PEA enhances the transmission of dopamine and norepinephrine and
is your body’s most powerful natural stimulant. PEA provides the
body with energy and focus without your body building up a tolerance or
makin you crash.
Velvet Bean Extract 20% l-dopa (Mucuna Pruriens)
The Velvet Bean in Leviathan Reloaded stimulates increased dopamine levels
through the dopamine precurser l-dopa. L-Dopa-induced GHRH release leads
to the pituitary gland increasing the production of HGH (Human Growth Hormone).
An increase in HGH levels can increase the body's ability to build lean
muscle and break down fat. Velvet bean also increases testosterone levels,
through prolactin (testosterone regulating hormone) inhibition. Too much
prolactin in your body can lead to testosterone suppression. Velvet bean
has also been shown to help you maintain healthy cholesterol and blood
sugar levels while showing promising diuretic effects.
Phyllanthus Niruri 10%
New to the fitness community, Phyllanthus Niruri has
been a well know tonic in natural health communities for some time. Phyllanthus
Niruri is rich in
numerous types of lignans which are the key to the potent effectiveness of
this ingredient. Just asmall sampling of the Lignen’s present in Phyllanthus
Niruri are Linum flavum, L. leonii, and urinatetralin. Phyllanthus Niruri
was included in Leviathan Reloaded for its hypotensive effects. Numerous
studies have been done on Phyllanthus Niruri that shows its ability to help
lower blood pressure. This is essential to Leviathan Reloaded’s effectiveness
because it helps counter act Yohimbine’s tendency to raise blood pressure.
Phllanthus Nirruri has also shown significant diuretic properties as well
as an ability to help regulate blood sugar levels.
Ficus Bengalensis Extract 10:1
Ficus Bengalensis was included in Leviathan Reloaded based on it clinical
effectiveness in balancing blood sugar and Insulin levels. While brand new
to the bodybuilding community, Ficus Bengalensis has been extensively
studied in conjuncture with diabetes. Ficus Bengalensis has been show to
help regulate insulin and blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Now what
does this mean to the individual looking to lose weight? Basically by restoring
insulin sensitivity and regulating Blood sugar levels you are able to lose
weight in a healthy manner. Ficus Bengalensis has been shown to have a positive
effect on controlling Reactive Hypoglycemia, a recurrent episode of excessive
insulin release triggered 2 to 4 hours after a high carbohydrate meal, which
contributes heavily to weight gain and obesity.
