Looking to rev up your metabolism so you can burn more? This daily regimen of supplements and diet aids can provide the overall support your body needs to help you reach your goals.

Turn Up The Heat With Thermogenics

Metabolism boosting supplements, called thermogenics, can enhance your body’s metabolic functions. Taking a thermogenic diet supplement every morning can kick start your metabolism and maximize your calorie-burning. Many of these supplements utilize caffeine as an active ingredient for its thermogenic properties. Plus, if you work out regularly, taking a caffeine-driven thermogenic 30-60 minutes before you exercise may help you work out harder and longer, thus increasing the total amount of calories you burn. However, there are also plenty of non-stimulant thermogenic options that are just as effective—without any potential difficulty sleeping for those sensitive to caffeine.

Take CLA To Start Building Lean Muscle

The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories your body burns. So, if you want to dial up your body’s calorie-burning capabilities, you need to work toward attaining your ideal body composition. Conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, is a naturally occurring fatty acid that can help maintain lean muscle mass and support a healthy body composition and metabolism. Take it once a day at any time to see optimal results. You can also find formulas that are a mix of both CLA and a thermogenic. These should be taken once daily, either in the morning or 30-60 minutes prior to working out.

Fill Nutritional Gaps With A Multivitamin

It’s important to cover your nutritional bases as you diet. Taking a daily multivitamin will help ensure you’re getting the key nutrients you need to keep your body going as you decrease your calorie intake and increase your physical activity. Plus, upping your workout intensity or frequency can sometimes take a toll on your immune system and adequate intake of essential nutrients help ensure your body and immune system has all the support they need.

Fuel Your Health With Fatty Acids From Fish Oil

A healthy body functions better overall. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for vital functions of your cells, tissues and organs and are beneficial for your cardiovascular system, mood and skin. They also help your cells communicate with each other and properly utilize nutrients. Working out regularly can also tax your joints and fish oil can provide them with support. It can be difficult to get enough omega-fatty acids from food alone—especially if you don’t like fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and trout. Taking a fish oil supplement can help you hit the daily recommended amount. Aim for one that has 500 to 1,000 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
