ress and the negative effect of cortisol
Stress is a condition that triggers a whole cascade of biochemical processes and if persistent for too long, it disturbs the balance of the system, causing many negative side effects. One of the situations, when the body is exposed to long-term stress factors, is the period of fat reduction. When losing weight, the body is being exploited because its energy needs are not satisfied with a simultaneous increase in physical activity.

In response to stressful events and circumstances, the body releases a hormone – cortisol, which is involved in the glucose metabolism, release of insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels and an inflammatory response. Proper cortisol levels increase energy, normalize metabolism and help to regulate blood pressure.

Studies show that long-term elevated levels of cortisol have a negative effect on memory processes and learning, weaken the immune system, reduce bone density, increase fat mass, increase blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels also increase the risk of depression, mental disorders, and lower the average life expectancy.

Cortisol stimulates gluconeogenesis by increasing the proteolysis (breakdown of proteins) of muscle tissue. An increased catabolism of the muscles causes a decrease in energy expenditure of the body, and thus hinders losing weight. Cortisol effect destabilizes the insulin metabolism causing a decrease in tissue sensitivity to this hormone and disturbs the proper functioning of the thyroid gland by lowering the metabolic rate. Elevated levels of cortisol in the blood cause a specific displacement of fat tissue deposits on neck, face and abdominal area. In addition, cortisol has a negative effect on the duration and quality of sleep, thus disturbing normal regeneration.

Ashwagandha is often used by people who do hard physical or mental work as to help the body to adapt and reduce the stress. The herb contains many active ingredients, including flavonoids and withanolides. According to the numerous studies of the last two decades, it is due to these ingredients that ashwagandha has anti-inflammatory properties, slowing down body’s aging, as well as anti-stress and antioxidant properties, improving mental and anticancer processes.

The herb is also a well-known adaptogen that is used to normalize physiological functions, regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal hormonal axis and neuroendocrine system, in a therapy counteracting the effects of chronic stress, and to support the maintenance of an adequate weight and body composition.

Forskolin is a substance that, by the activation of the adenylyl cyclase enzyme, increases the level of a cyclic AMP (cAMP). The cAMP is an important secondary messenger in a normal biological response of cells to hormones and other extracellular signals or in communication within the hypothalamic/pituitary axis and feedback control through the induction of factor gene transcription of corticotropin-releasing factor.

Researchers found that obese people have a lower production of cyclic AMP than normal. For these reasons, forskolin can be theoretically speaking a weight-reducing agent, especially among people with reduced cyclic AMP production. Studies in rats have shown that forskolin supplementation does not cause clinically significant adverse effects and can limit weight gain in overweight animals as well as promote weight reduction. In addition, the results of in vito studies show that forskolin stimulates fat metabolism, which in combination with an energy-deficit diet may effectively facilitate reduction of body fat.

7-Keto is a steroid produced in the metabolism process of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). 7-Keto-DHEA is not immediately converted to testosterone or estrogen and is therefore probably more useful than DHEA, which can negatively affect the hormonal balance.

7-Keto reduces the activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11betaHSD) – an enzyme that converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol. 11BetaHSD participates in the metabolism of 7-Keto, as a result of which, the amount of the enzyme capable of converting the cortisone into an undesirable cortisol is limited.

7-Keto has thermogenic properties due to the activation of the following enzymes: acyl-CoA oxidase, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and malate enzyme. Activation of these biocatalysts directs the energy substrates towards the less efficient ATP production in relation to a heat production and promotes the use of fat deposits for energy production. The publications available also state that 7-keto-DHEA supplementation in overweight people combined with a limited- calorie diet, effectively reverses the decline in resting metabolic rate (RMR).

7-Keto-DHEA generates a thermogenic effect with no negative consequences associated with the functioning of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system, which are commonly observed in case of thermogenic agents containing stimulants.

In addition, the preparation was enriched with a powdered acerola extract providing a natural and large dose of vitamin C, which is an effective antioxidant that prevents aging processes and improves the work of the circulatory system. Demand for vitamin C grows among people under the influence of high stress and doing physical activity.

In conclusion, BRAWN Corti-Lean is an excellent dietary supplement for demanding people who want visible effects. Due to the presence of substances with adaptogenic and anti-catabolic properties as well as those eliminating the negative effect of cortisol, it supports the effective loss of fat tissue without the stimulation of the nervous system.
