Did you know that lean muscle burns significantly more calories than the same weight in fat while your body is at rest? Building lean muscle is an essential metabolism-boosting secret. (2)

The most effective way to build your muscle mass is through strength training. An interesting study found that after a few months of consistent strength training three times per week, participants raised their body’s resting metabolic rate significantly! (3)

• Protein

Not only does a protein-rich diet support muscle mass for a boosted metabolic rate, but digesting food itself burns calories, with protein burning the most, compared to both carbs and fats. Some research shows that increasing protein intake in your diet can temporarily enhance your metabolic rate by 15-30% (4). 

• Mineral-rich foods

Minerals like iodine, selenium, and iron are essential for the proper functioning of your thyroid gland, which helps to regulate and support a healthy metabolism (5). Adding mineral-rich options like seafood, nuts, seeds, and legumes can help your thyroid function more efficiently.

• Coffee & Tea

What do both coffee and tea have in common? Caffeine! Studies show that consuming healthy amounts of caffeine can significantly increase how many calories your body burns (6). Also, tea contains plant chemicals called catechins which can work alongside caffeine to increase metabolism further. For example, green tea and oolong tea have been shown to enhance fat-burning by up to 16%! (7)

You bet they can! But remember, supplements are there to assist your efforts, not replace them! This means they need to be part of a low calorie meal plan with nutrient-rich food and a healthy lifestyle.

Here are some of our top supplements to support a metabolic reset:

• Garcinia Cambogia

Garcinia Cambogia is considered one of the #1 natural metabolism-boosting weight loss supplements. This tropical superfruit contains a powerful compound called HCA, shown to support the body’s use of fat as energy, curb cravings for carbs, and support lower blood sugar (8) (9). 

• Apple Cider Vinegar Capsules or Gummies

Animal studies have shown that apple cider vinegar may help support weight loss by increasing an enzyme in the liver known as AMPK, which naturally promotes metabolism by increasing fat burn (10). The taste and smell of liquid ACV can make it hard to add to your diet, so we’ve solved this problem with super convenient ACV capsules or delicious ACV gummies, which may also reduce your cravings for carbs and support better digestion!

• AdaptoZen Superfood Greens

With a targeted metabolism blend containing green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, and organic matcha powder. PLUS essential minerals to support thyroid health and other metabolic processes, our brand-new Superfood Greens powder would make the perfect addition to a protein-rich metabolism-enhancing morning smoothie!

• Get a good night’s rest

High-quality sleep is essential to every aspect of health, including your weight and metabolic rate! A 5-week study found that disrupted sleep and irregular sleeping times slowed down the participants resting metabolic rate by almost 8%! (12)

• Stay hydrated!

A simple and effective way to improve your metabolism is to increase water intake in your diet? Sounds too good to be true? Research has shown that drinking 500ml of water before a meal may temporarily raise metabolic rate by up to 30%! (13)
