| HOT-ROX...
Ramps up lipolysis, releasing
fat from adipocytes more rapidly than ephedra-based products to the point
of no contest.
Minimizes lipogenesis (fat creation)
via increased cAMP and T3.
Maximizes and sustains metabolism
around the clock, turning fat into heat energy, through two powerful mechanisms:
Fueling the TCA cycle Stimulating mitochondrial uncoupling
Provides an inexhaustible supply
of the weak-link substrate oxaloacetate and thus keeps the TCA cycle primed
for sustained, maximum fat burn.
Elevates and maintains not only
the increased production of T3, but the peripheral conversion of T4 into
T3 as well, without suppressing TSH (natural thyroid production).
Doesn't over stimulate cardiac
tissue or raise blood pressure.
Preserves or even promotes muscle-mass
gains.
So if you want maximum fat-burning
effects to work continually, around the clock (24/7), HOT-ROX is the perfect
supplement for you!
Bottom line, we've made ephedra
and the current crop of fat-loss supplements obsolete!
This is definitely not an overstatement.
What makes our invention so valuable
and unique? First of all, it's far more effective at burning
off body fat than anything that's ever been on the market. Furthermore,
unlike ephedra-based formulas, it's safe and it doesn't down-regulate beta-receptor
sites and become ineffective over time.
And get this... It also increases
protein synthesis and the natural production of anabolic substrates (in
both men and women). In other words, it may actually help to preserve or
even build muscle mass.
Even better yet, all of these metabolic
benefits are sustained, around the clock, week after week, as long as you
continue to take the formula.
We honestly believe that we've developed
the fat-loss phenomenon that everyone's been hoping for. Ever since the
ripped look's become the passionate desire of every body-conscious individual,
there's been a quest for a fat burner that, in addition to continuously
melting off adipose tissue, would help to preserve even promote muscle-mass
gains.
And we've done it! Not only that,
it's far more effective than any of us involved with the project ever dreamed
possible.
The name of our fat-loss phenomenon
is HOT-ROX, and there's no doubt in our minds that, after reading what
follows, you'll be a believer, too.
What's the Big Deal with Ephedra,
Anyway?
Why is everyone so focused on adrenergic
compounds, like ephedra? A better thermogenic mousetrap should've replaced
them years ago. Unfortunately, instead of being innovative, supplement
companies became complacent, relying heavily upon the jitter-buzz factor
to sell their products.
Think about it... If ephedra-based
products were all that effective, why are you reading this article? How
many bottles of fat-loss supplements have you purchased in the last five
years, anyway? If you're like most of us, you've spent a small fortune
and you're still not as lean as you want to be.
I don't know why this isn't obvious
to everyone, but adrenergic compounds, in and of themselves, aren't all
that powerful. In fact, ephedrine, in the absence of caffeine, is barely
even worth considering as a fat-loss agent. Furthermore, if you attempt
to keep ephedrine levels continuously elevated (24/7), which is what's
required for optimal fat loss, beta receptors eventually down-regulate,
making ephedra even less effective.
Rapid Fat Loss
A Mission of 2 Tasks
The first thing to understand about
fat loss is that almost everyone has the science backward. They hope that
by burning energy, say on a Stairmaster, it will somehow suck the fat right
out of their blurred abs or other problem areas. This simply isn't true.
There is no pipeline through which muscle can pull fat from adipocytes.
There must be ample supplies of fatty acids in the bloodstream to use as
fuel or the muscle burns itself!
People also hope that cutting calories
will guarantee fat loss. This also isn't true. Again, energy-burning or
energy deficits won't suck fat from the fat cells. The energy can and often
will come from glycogen or muscle protein. And most important, caloric
reduction slows the metabolism and can actually interfere with fat release!
Once this occurs, you're in a physiological
nightmare: a state that not only makes it nearly impossible to lose any
additional body fat, but you also begin to lose muscle mass as well, leaving
you skinny-fat.
Triggering lipolysis is the crucial
first step, but you must also support the burn. If not, it's perfectly
plausible to stimulate lipolysis only to have the fat redistributed back
into adipocytes. What a waste of time!
If your goal is to get as lean as
possible while maintaining or even gaining muscle mass, in addition to
managing caloric intake, you must successfully accomplish two and only
two critical tasks. Everything else is subordinate to these:
1)
Support rapid lipolysis (fat release) while simultaneously minimizing lipogenesis
(fat creation).
2)
Keep the TCA* cycle primed for maximum, aerobic-metabolic burn.
*Note:
The TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle is also known as the Krebs cycle or
aerobic metabolism.
TASK 1 Release the Fat Hounds!
Lipolysis Up, Lipogenesis Down
Simply put, the goal here is to
get fat cells to release fat (lipolysis) faster than they create fat from
dietary calories (lipogenesis). If you want to induce lipolysis, you have
to increase cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). Cyclic AMP is responsible
for triggering the cellular processes for lipid metabolism. In other words,
it's the chief gatekeeper for stimulating lipolysis and slowing lipogenesis.
Ramping up cAMP within fat cells
activates protein kinase, which in turn activates hormone-sensitive lipase,
the enzyme that breaks down the fat in adipocytes. This causes fatty acids
and glycerol to be released into the bloodstream.
High sensitivity to hormone-sensitive
lipase depends upon ample thyroid hormone being present. If T3 levels are
low, lipase activity won't increase as it should. In contrast, increased
cAMP in combination with high T3 levels will send lipolysis rates through
the roof.
Cyclic AMP can be stimulated directly
by increasing adenylate-cyclase activity. Adrenergic compounds (endogenous
or exogenous) can also indirectly increase cAMP by activating adenylate
cyclase when binding beta receptors. The adrenoreceptor route, as mentioned
before, has its limitations.
Additionally, both increased cAMP
and high T3 levels decrease lipoprotein lipase activity, which is an enzyme
responsible for lipogenesis. So in addition to stimulating lipolysis, cAMP
and T3, as a team, put the kibosh on lipogenesis as well.
This double-whammy effect that cAMP
and T3 deliver is very powerful, priming the body for the burn.
TASK 2 Prime the TCA Cycle Ignition
and Burn
When lipolysis outraces lipogenesis
and releases fatty acids into the blood, they diffuse into all cells of
the body to be used as fuel.
Upon entering a cell, fatty acids
are actively transported, via carnitine acyltransferase, into mitochondria,
which act as cellular power plants. Once in the mitochondria, the fatty
acid is converted into fatty acid-CoA. Next, the fatty acid-CoA is broken
down further, two carbons at a time, into acetyl-CoA. This is the fat
that fuels aerobic metabolism through the TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle.
In other words, when you think of burning off body fat, the fat being
consumed is actually acetyl-CoA.
This is when T3 plays another huge
role. T3 produces thermogenic malic enzyme, which is the intermediary required
to produce oxaloacetate. And oxaloacetate, in combination with acetyl-CoA,
fuels the TCA cycle. For maximum thermogenesis, via the TCA cycle, oxaloacetate
needs to be present in ample amounts or the entire process falls apart.
This is a weak link in the TCA cycle
and requires exogenous support through nutritional means if you want to
maintain continuous and rapid fat loss. (Just how you do that through nutritional
means is something I'll go over later.)
Additionally, T3 increases UCP3
uncoupling protein, which can have profound effects on fat loss. In fat
cells, uncoupling dramatically increases lipolysis. And in other tissues,
like in muscle, uncoupling increases metabolic rate, thus supporting the
burn. The net effect is faster fat release from adipocytes, followed by
faster fat burning due to an overall-increased metabolic rate.
The Whole Fat-Loss Enchilada
Bottom line, if you ramp up and
sustain high cAMP and T3 levels, you've done all that's required for maximum,
continual fat metabolism. In essence, you've achieved what's tantamount
to thermogenic nuclear war.
(Managing food intake is, of course,
also required; hopefully that's obvious.)
So how do we formulate a supplement
that sustains non-beta-receptor-mediated cAMP and increased T3 levels without
causing down-regulation?
Well, we have the answer. Specifically,
we've developed a series of compounds that when combined, produces a more
profound effect than our greatest expectations. In fact, at this point,
we can't imagine anything better.
The horsepower that fuels HOT-ROX
is comprised of two novel compounds and their synergists. The big daddy,
which is also the real magic behind our formula, is called A7-E.
A7-E was designed by Bill Roberts
and is best described as a thyroid supercharger. It's completely new to
the industry; it has a patent filed on it; and it's so powerful on its
own as a fat-loss agent that there's no contest when compared to anything
else that's currently on the market.
A7-E launches us right smack dab
in the middle of a new fat-loss era!
A7-E Rev Up and Potentiate Thyroid
Activities
The most challenging task was finding
a way to boost T3 levels without suppressing TSH. From the scientific literature,
there are two groups of compounds that when taken together in relatively
high dosages, would do the trick nicely: 3,17-dihydroxy-delta-5-etiocholane-7-one
(A7-D) supported by guggulsterones.
Once converted into the active species,
A7-D has been shown to increase T3 in humans by as much as 30% without
suppressing TSH! Additionally, and to a much greater degree, A7-D increases
thermogenic malic enzyme. Remember, malic enzyme is the compound responsible
for producing oxaloacetate, which fuels the TCA cycle.
Guggulsterones, on the other hand,
increase the peripheral conversion of T4 into T3, making it the ideal complement
to A7-D. Increasing the peripheral conversion of T3 is very important because
the thyroid only produces 20% of the body's T3. Most of the remaining 80%
is derived from T4 through a conversion process that occurs in various
target tissues, like skeletal muscle, for example.
On the surface, A7-D and guggulsterones
appear to be great choices for the HOT-ROX formula. Unfortunately, however,
both have inherent problems which needed fixing if we were to achieve the
desired magnitude of effect. In other words, we wanted to improve the wow
factor by a bunch.
In essence, the bioavailability
of A7-D isn't high enough and the active life is far too short. So to improve
both bioavailability and length of active life, Bill engineered A7-D into
a carbonate ester, called 3,17-dihydroxy-delta-5-etiocholane-7-one diethylcarbonate,
or A7-E.
A7-E, due to its superior rate of
conversion, its longer active life, and its increased bioavailability,
is the premier fat-loss compound of our time. In and of itself, it's a
very powerful and effective fat-loss agent. But we didn't stop there...
We wanted a synergist for A7-E.
All of our research pointed to one obvious candidate guggulsterone
because it increases the peripheral conversion of T4 into T3, further supporting
the actions of A7-E. The problem, however, is guggulsterones are not available
in a pure state. They're found in a plant called Commiphora mukul, which
contains only small amounts of guggulsterone Z and E.
Unfortunately, a good Commiphora
mukul extract is only 2.5% active, and that alone makes using an herbal
extract unfeasible. Additionally, it's very difficult to get consistent
raw material, making accurate dosing literally impossible. And if these
weren't big enough problems, there are other constituents in the plant
material that cause rather severe allergic reactions in a significant portion
of the population.
Our only solution was to produce
100% pure guggulsterones, preferably with a 2:1 ratio between Z and E.
And that's just what we did. We included two parts purified guggulsterone
Z to one part purified guggulsterone E in our HOT-ROX formula.
So to recap, A7-E has the incredible
ability to stimulate the production of T3 and thermogenic malic enzyme;
and pure guggulsterones further enhance (synergize) these activities by
facilitating the peripheral conversion of T4 into T3.
SCLAREMAX The King of Cyclic AMP
The second novel compound in HOT-ROX
is called Sclaremax. Sclaremax is a diterpenoidal lactone found in a plant
called Salvia sclarea. It's known to be an extremely potent adenylate cyclase
activator, very similar to that of the diterpene derivative, forskolin.
In fact, cyclic AMP assays indicate Sclaremax either equals or exceeds
the actions of forskolin, but with a much longer active life.
Additionally, like forskolin, Sclaremax
stimulates adenylate cyclase independently of beta-2 receptors, which means
it has no limitations because it won't down-regulate and it has a higher
maximal effect. In other words, the more you take, the greater the effect
day after day after day...
So Sclaremax essentially mimics
or acts like TSH activating adenylate cyclase in the membrane of
thyroid cells, which in turn elevates cyclic AMP and eventually leads to
thyroid hormones being released. It may also enhance the cyclic AMP response
to TSH in thyroid cells as well.
And because Sclaremax produces an
accumulation of cyclic AMP, it will also increase nitrogen retention. This
means that it will help preserve or even build lean-body mass (muscle)
while increasing lipolysis.
Another huge bonus in comparison
to ephedra and other beta agonists is that Sclaremax doesn't interact with
beta-1 adrenoreceptors and over stimulate cardiac tissue or raise blood
pressure. In fact, Sclaremax, in very high doses, exhibits a vasodilatory
effect and slightly decreases blood pressure.
Some other benefits of Sclaremax
include its antithrombotic and antidepressant effects, as well as its stimulating
effect on luteinizing hormone, via cyclic AMP, resulting in the production
of additional Testosterone (in males).
To synergize the effects of Sclaremax,
we included the methylxanthine caffeine. Caffeine is a potent competitive
inhibitor of phosphodiesterase enzyme, which is responsible for the inactivation
of cyclic AMP.
In comparison to caffeine, Sclaremax
increases the formation of cyclic AMP, whereas caffeine acts to prevent
its degradation. In other words, caffeine potentiates the effects of Sclaremax,
thus increasing the magnitude of cyclic AMP accumulation.
And since Sclaremax and caffeine
increase cyclic AMP, but via different mechanisms and not through the beta
receptor, a combination produces a powerful, synergistic effect on lipolysis.
So you can see that, even though
A7-E, Sclaremax, guggulsterones, and caffeine have discrete roles in the
fat-loss process, they also potentiate one another's activities, making
the combination extremely powerful.
We also wanted to utilize compounds
in our formula that elevate mood and suppress hunger, especially for carbohydrates.
To do this, we included ample amounts of acetyl-L-tyrosine and 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan
to maximize brain levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, all
of which tend to decrease while following a calorie-restricted diet.
Maintaining high levels of norepinephrine,
dopamine, and serotonin will not only elevate mood and suppress appetite,
but:
Decrease fat storage
Stimulate oxygen consumption
Increase resting energy expenditure
Decrease insulin levels
HOT-ROX Isn't for Everyone
If you're not going to take fat
loss seriously and be disciplined with your diet, please don't buy the
supplement. I don't care what you take or what you do in the way of exercise,
if you eat half a smorgasbord every day you're gonna' get fatter.
On the other hand, if you're really
committed to doing your part, incorporating sound training and dietary
guidelines, we promise that HOT-ROX will be the most effective fat-loss
agent you've ever used. It's expensive relative to other products on the
market; but when you compare its effects, HOT-ROX is more than just a bargain
it's a steal!
Just remember how much you've spent
on fat-burners over the years and see where that's gotten you. Nuff said.
In Summary, HOT-ROX:
Ramps up lipolysis, releasing
fat from adipocytes more rapidly than ephedra-based products to the point
of no contest.
Minimizes lipogenesis (fat creation)
via increased cAMP and T3.
Maximizes and sustains metabolism
around the clock, turning fat into heat energy, through two powerful mechanisms:
