Tetradecylthioacetic Acid

Ever since research was conducted at the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at the Norwegian University of Bergen, into how tetradecylthioacetic acid could help cure obesity without the need for exercise, there have been many debates as to whether it’s amazing fat loss properties should be used to help combat the current global obesity epidemic or to be sold in tablet form within the dieting industry and help millions achieve the body’s they want. Now experts are saying, this miracle ingredient could do both.

Perhaps the most impressive scientific discovery of tetradecylthioacetic acid is that it was found to encourage lipolysis (the burning of fat) even without forcing it through thermogenic means such as exercise. Therefore making it an appealing and practical option for those who are drastically overweight and therefore not very mobile.

Secondly tetradecylthioacetic acid has been shown to prevent high fat diets inducing hyperinsulinemia, this is a condition in which there are excess levels of circulating insulin in the blood, meaning the body is highly prone to storing body fat. (High levels of insulin signal to the body to start storing body fat and to slow down the burning of fat.)

Lastly research conducted on rats showed that tetradecylthioacetic acid prevents high fat diets from increasing stored body fat. The study showed that inclusion of tetradecylthioacetic acid in the high fat diets of the rats prevented the relative increase in adipose tissue mass (fat tissue mass) without a simultaneous decrease in food consumption.

Whilst this ingredient is available to patients suffering from obesity, it is also available to the public as Femme Slender, the award winning weight loss solutions company, offers 50 milligrams of the ingredient per tablet in Couture Curves
