Inositol
Inositol aids in fat metabolism.
Inositol supplements may aid in the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Rapiejko PJ, Northup JK, Evans T, Brown JE, Malbon CC (November 1986). “G-proteins of fat-cells. Role in hormonal regulation of intracellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate”. The Biochemical Journal 240 (1): 35–40. PMC 1147372. PMID 3103610.
Methionine
Methionine aids in Fat breakdown
Methionine also helps in weight loss by controlling blood sugar levels. Controlling blood sugar levels can lead to weight loss because craving for sweet foods is lessened. Methionine also helps you eat less by helping the body use nutrients more efficiently. Another benefit of methionine is the production of creatine and s-adenosylmethionine or (SAM-e). This could potentially help improve athletic performance by affecting the ratio of muscle to fat.
