Aframomum melegueta
Grains of Paradise, also known as Aframomum melegueta, is a species of the ginger family with powerful thermogenic properties. This extract is derived from the seeds of the plant and is known for its ability to enhance metabolism and increase calorie burning. The active compounds in grains of paradise, such as 6-paradol, 6-gingerol, and 6-shogaol, stimulate the body's thermogenic activity, making it an effective natural fat burner.
Apart from its thermogenic effects, grains of paradise also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which contribute to overall metabolic health. These benefits help in managing weight, especially around the abdominal area, which is a common concern for men over 40. By boosting metabolism and reducing fat storage, grains of paradise supports a healthier body composition and improved energy levels.
Why We Use it
Grains of Paradise is included in VulcanSlim's formula for its ability to directly target and reduce abdominal fat through enhanced thermogenesis. This is particularly beneficial for men experiencing andropause, as the increased metabolic rate helps to mitigate the common midlife weight gain and supports overall weight management. Studies have shown that this extract can significantly increase whole-body energy expenditure, making it an effective tool in the fight against stubborn belly fat.
Additionally, the metabolic boost provided by grains of paradise can potentially improve testosterone production. By reducing visceral fat and improving metabolic health, this ingredient helps create an internal environment that supports natural hormone balance. This dual action of fat reduction and hormonal support makes grains of paradise an essential component of VulcanSlim, aimed at helping men maintain their vigor and physical health as they age.
