HOW DOES LEAN DREAMS® WORK?
Relaxation/Sleep/Recovery: combines several key components specifically chosen to support relaxation, cortisol suppression and promote better sleep.
If you have experienced our high-energy daytime fat loss formula- Hyperdrive 3.0+®, you will understand why we originally conceptualized LEAN DREAMS® our nighttime restoration & fat loss formula.
We live our modern lives on the go a majority of the time. However, living in high-speed on a continual basis is simply not healthy. Plus, it can actually inhibit recovery and it can also inhibit the body’s ability to lose fat. That’s why we identified the need for a nighttime formula that can enhance relaxation, continue the daytime process of fat oxidation and support a positive hormonal environment for recovery.
Sleep time is perhaps the most important period of our 24-hour daily cycle. Sleep is one of the best natural tools for recovery. While we sleep, over half of our natural daily GH secretion occurs, glycogen stores are replenished and tissues are repaired. In short, the damage we do during the day is healed while we sleep. Plus, if we are given the proper biochemical environment, our bodies will readily burn fat for fuel while we sleep!
During the waking hours, all of the activities that we do in our daily lives to achieve our goals – weight training, cardio, diet, taking stimulant-based fat burners and energy supplements, all begin to blunt fat loss and recovery as time wears on. Our bodies are simply not designed to stay wired 24 / 7. If we don’t get sufficient sleep:
- Recovery is blunted
- Fat accumulates more readily
- GH release is suppressed
- Lean tissue loss can occur (catabolism) more easily
- Cortisol levels rise, thereby increasing fat storage and catabolism
So, what choice do we have?
Ingredients responsible for relaxation/sleep/recovery:
- Oleamide: Endogenous sleep modulator.
- L-Tryptophan Ethyl Ester: Precursor to Serotonin, 5-HTP and Melatonin.
- Jujuba PE 2%: Used in folk medicine to promote restorative sleep.
- Valerian: Calming agent and sleep aid.
- Rotundine: Sleep augmentation and analgesia.
- Melatonin: Master sleep hormone and anti-oxidant, cholinergic system protectant.
- Supports GH Release:
Over half of our natural daily GH secretion occurs while we sleep. LEAN DREAMS® combines several ingredients that support GH stimulation, in addition to the natural GH spike that results from an improved sleep state.
Ingredients responsible for supporting GH release:
- Berberine: Supports natural GH stimulation by way of the central cholinergic system, acts as a sleep aid/CNS depressant.
- Hispidulin: Provides GH modulation, also acts as an anti-anxiety, uncoupler of oxidative phosphorilation (increases BMR to target fat metabolism) and is an anti-oxidant.
- Suppresses cortisol/ targets fat utilization
Cortisol, which is the body’s stress hormone, can cause catabolism (muscle breakdown) and it also plays a major role in fat storage. Cortisol can also inhibit GH and testosterone production. Controlling cortisol levels can have a dramatic impact on body composition. LEAN DREAMS® has several ingredients that have been shown to directly impact cortisol levels.
Ingredients responsible for suppressing cortisol and targeting fat utilization:
- Magnolia extract: Provides cortisol inhibition and anti-anxiety support.
- Baicalin: Acts as a calming substrate, anti-anxiety and anti-cortisol.
IN CONCLUSION:
LEAN DREAMS® is uniquely designed to promote relaxation and improved sleep. LEAN DREAMS® also fuels the pathways that result in prioritizing fat burning and lean tissue preservation. LEAN DREAMS® works by supporting GH release, suppressing cortisol, targeting fat utilization, promoting relaxation, rest and a more healthy sleep.
