#1 Chromium

Chromium is required in trace amounts for sugar metabolism in humans. It is usually found as Chromium picolinate or Chromium Chloride. Chromium plays a key role in increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Since increasing insulin sensitivity is a critical goal in promoting weight loss, chromium supplementation would be quite beneficial in people trying to lose weight.

#2 Carnitine

Carnitine helps transport fats in the bloodstream into the mitochondria (where the cellular energy or power is produced) for burning. It has the ability to break up fat deposits and aids in weight loss. It also helps to reduce cravings for sweets and fats.

#3 Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant naturally occurring, a non-essential amino acid in the human body. Glutamine is marketed as a supplement used for muscle growth in weightlifting, bodybuilding, endurance, and other sports.

#4 Taurine

Taurine is often used in combination with bodybuilding supplements such as creatine and anabolic steroids, partly due to recent findings in mice that taurine alleviates muscle fatigue in strenuous workouts and raises exercise capacity.
