How does Lotus Leaf Extract work?

 

Scientists have found that Lotus Leaf possesses two distinct abilities that may lead to effective treatment of obesity. One is that it increases lipolysis, which means that it encourages fat cells to release fat. This is useful for someone who is actively exercising and consuming a caloric deficit (on a diet). By releasing fat from storage, the body can then utilize that fat for energy rather than continuing to store it.

 

The other beneficial effect Lotus Leaf has on fat loss is that it prevents adipogenesis. Actually that’s not completely accurate – what it does is prevents triglyceride accumulation during adipogenesis. Simply put, when our body gets the signal that there’s an overabundance of energy available in the body, it goes about making new fat cells. During that process triglycerides (a fancy term for fat) are created from glucose and other fatty acids. Lotus leaf prevents this
