Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is best known for its adaptogenic effects, helping the body manage stress more effectively. Chronic stress is a well-documented factor in metabolic disruption, often leading to increased cortisol levels and fat accumulation, particularly around the abdomen.
By reducing cortisol and promoting a more balanced hormonal profile, ashwagandha may help prevent stress-induced metabolic slowdown. Additionally, it has been shown to support thyroid function, which is closely tied to the body’s basal metabolic rate.
Magnesium for Insulin and Cellular Energy
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, many of which are directly related to energy production and metabolic efficiency. It supports mitochondrial function—the part of the cell where energy is produced—and plays a key role in glucose and insulin regulation.
Magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common and has been linked to insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and increased inflammation. Replenishing magnesium stores can improve energy metabolism, reduce fatigue, and support healthy body composition.
Other Metabolism Boosting Supplements
Apple Cider Vinegar for Fat Burning
The acetic acid in ACV is thought to make the genes responsible for fat burning more active, and slow down the ones responsible for fat storage. This increase in fat burning and metabolism could lead to greater calorie burning and weight loss. Our ACV complex also has spices long used to speed up fat-burning metabolism.
Vitamin B Complex for Energy
Vital for the metabolism, B vitamins help make sure the food we eat is used as an energy source and not stored in the body as fat. Our Vitamin B Complex contains the activated, body-ready forms of each of these vital metabolic nutrients.
Fenugreek for Blood Sugar Balance
Fenugreek can help us to control our appetite and resist the temptation to snack. Proper intervals of several hours without eating between each meal are essential to keep our metabolism and insulin levels working as they should.
