Swanson ActivAMP Amp-K Stimulator

Introducing an herbal extract that activates the body's metabolic master switch to help burn fat for greater energy and vitality: ActivAMP AMP-K Stimulator from Swanson Ultra. Scientists have found that many of the benefits of aerobic and anaerobic exercise stem from the activity of an enzyme known as 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, or AMP-k, often called the "metabolic master switch." During exercise, physical stress on the muscles and bones triggers the up-regulation of a family of proteins known as sestrins, which in turn activate the AMP-k enzyme. When AMP-k is activated, it triggers a cascade of metabolic effects that influence fat burning. The net result is improved muscular performance, reduced body fat and optimized metabolic activity. ActivAMP is a powerful herbal extract that activates the AMP-k enzyme, much like physical exercise does. It's derived from Gynostemma pentaphyllum (also known as jiaogulan), a calming adaptogenic herb that has been used for centuries as a longevity tonic, sometimes known as "the immortality herb." Scientists have identified natural saponins in gynostemma which have been shown to strongly activate AMP-k in phytochemical studies. In a double-blind trial involving 80 overweight individuals, subjects taking ActivAMP showed significant decreases in BMI, weight, body fat and abdominal body fat compared to subjects taking a placebo. But the benefits of ActivAMP go beyond weight control; by activating AMP-k you can enjoy many of the metabolic advantages that could otherwise only be obtained through strenuous physical exercise. Increase exercise performance and aid post-workout recovery, stimulate energy production, promote healthy aging and get help meeting your weight management goals, all by supporting your body's production of AMP-k. Award-winning Swanson ActivAMP AMP-K Stimulator has been named the 2024 NutraIngredients USA Sports Nutrition Ingredient of the Year. Looking for a Companion to Your GLP-1 Weight Management Journey? If decreased caloric intake has you feeling sluggish, supporting AMP-K may be what you need.
