Grains of Paradise
Grains of Paradise are primarily used in sports nutrition to increase thermogenesis and aid in weight loss.
Overview
What are Grains of Paradise? Grains of Paradise, also known as Aframomum melegueta, is derived from the ginger family and is one of the most popular thermogenic ingredients on the market. It helps to increase metabolism, which aids in weight loss.
Grains of Paradise's mechanism of action is unique, as it converts white adipose tissue (WAT) to brown adipose tissue (BAT). BAT is highly thermogenic and metabolically active. This means that BAT burns more calories as opposed to storing them, like WAT. This increases total energy expenditure and improves body composition in humans by creating a caloric deficit, which is the one and only way to lose weight.
A study composed of several healthy men showed that 40mg of generic Grains of Paradise supplementation increased basal metabolic rate by over 300 calories per day when measured 30 minutes after consumption. To note: the individuals rate of calories burned increased 300mg per day, which averaged out to be approximately 25 calories from just the one time 40mg dose.
BAT activation poses more benefits than just weight loss. BAT pulls glucose and triglycerides out of the blood stream, which plays a role in overall cardiovascular health and glycemic control as well.
Applications
