It’s Not You—It’s Your Slowing Metabolism 

A sluggish metabolism is often the scapegoat when we no longer look and feel like we used to.  

Feeling sluggish? Slow metabolism.  

Struggling to lose weight (or just not gain it)? Yep, slow metabolism.  

Gaining weight over the holidays, a vacation, or a certain season?  

Two words: Slow. Metabolism.  

And as we age, we often find that the workouts and diet that used to keep us feeling fit and looking lean no longer yield the same results.  

Clothing can start to feel more constricting as a sluggish metabolism leads to the all-too-familiar middle-age spread.  

Worse, as excess weight accumulates—especially around the middle—it can impact health, increasing the risk of age-related health concerns.  

The Aging Impact on Metabolism and Fat. 

We blame our aging metabolism for being slow and leading to unwanted weight gain. But what exactly is happening to metabolism and even fat distribution as we age?  

#1 Slowing resting metabolic rate  

Metabolism is the process your body uses to expend and burn calories. It runs 24/7, even when you’re kicking back on a Sunday afternoon or sound asleep in the middle of the night.  

Day and night, your body is hard at work to convert the nutrients from food into the energy you need to breathe, pump blood throughout the body, repair cells, digest food, maintain body temperature, and live life.  

Metabolism includes all of the natural chemical processes in the body. And the faster your metabolism (or, more accurately, your basal metabolic rate, or BMR), the more calories you burn, even at rest. 

While physical activity accounts for 20-30% of your energy expenditure, your BMR accounts for the rest – as much as 70% of your energy expenditure. With age, your BMR declines, resulting in 100-160 fewer calories being burned per day with each passing decade.

#2 Muscle loss 

You may have heard that muscle burns more calories than fat. But did you know muscles can burn up to 3x more calories than fat? As we age, our muscle mass naturally begins to decline. After 30, we can lose up to 8% of muscle mass each decade. And once we pass 60, this number can jump to 15%.  

As muscle tissue is more metabolically active, losing muscle contributes to a slower metabolism, which explains why it feels harder to lose weight with every passing birthday. (Nope, it’s not your imagination…) 

# 3 Declining activity and diet changes 

The more active you are, the more calories you burn. This doesn’t just mean how much time you spend exercising. However, with age, many of us move less. The less we move, the slower our metabolism.  

And just as exercise is key to fueling our metabolism, so is diet. it takes more calories to burn protein (up to 3 to 6x more!) than it does to burn fat or refined carbs (known as dietary thermogenesis). Yet often, as people get older, they consume less protein-rich foods—again slowing metabolism as you age. 

#4 Hormonal changes cause fat to shift... to the wrong places.  

A natural shift in fat distribution occurs after 40 in large part due to inevitable fluctuations in hormones. As we get older, hormonal changes, such as decreased levels of testosterone and estrogen (for men and women), can shift fat distribution toward stubborn fat storage, often around the belly, waist, and hips.  

That’s why even ACTIVE men and women can see fat build-up around their abdomen, hips, and waist after a certain age. 

# 5 Fat cells behave differently as you age.  

Did you know there are different types of fat? And each act differently inside the body. White fat is stored fat. It’s the fat that clings to your body in all the wrong places. Beige fat, on the other hand, is metabolic active. Unlike white fat, that stores energy, beige fat burn calories.  

The more beige fat we have the faster our metabolism runs. Unfortunately, like everything else, as we age, our body increasingly struggles to transform white fat into beige fat... 

The above explains why it’s easier to gain weight with age. However, the reality is we can’t stop aging. You can’t reverse hormonal changes that shift fat distribution. And while you can increase activity levels and change your dietary habits (by eating more protein and fiber, for example), it often isn’t enough.  

New BioTRUST MetaboBoost™  

Introducing MetaboBoost—the breakthrough daily capsule designed to reignite your metabolism and burn belly fat. When combined with regular exercise and moderate dietary changes, MetaboBoost is your ultimate ally.  

Now there are countless supplements that claim to accelerate weight loss by helping you burn more calories. What makes MetaboBoost such a powerful weight loss ally? 

MetaboBoost uses patented weight-loss technology to help you burn more calories and break down fat, plus it helps curb appetite and tame cravings.  

Unlike other metabolism supplements, MetaboBoost helps you tackle weight loss from multiple fronts to finally achieve the results you want and deserve! 

• Increase your metabolism by transforming calorie-storing white fat into energy-beige fat. 
• Promotes fat breakdown in troublesome areas including your midsection, hips, thighs, waist, and underarms.  
• Helps you drop up to 5x more inches than dieting alone by promoting burning specifically in the belly and waiste=.  
• Targets fat, not muscle, to help you tighten up and tone up without compromising attractive, calorie-burning muscle.  
• Helps to curb appetite and control appetite, so you consume up to 347 fewer calories daily 

What powers MetaboBoost? 

Sinetrol to boost your metabolism and burn fat.  

A safe and effective combination of natural polyphenols extracted from citrus fruits, including grapefruit and oranges, and the plant guarana, clinically-studied Sinetrol: 

• Boosts energy expenditure to help maintain a healthy metabolic rate for sustained results as it helps combat metabolic slowdown, which is a common side effect of losing weight. 
• Elevates the body’s fat-burning abilities as it helps break down fats to be used as fuel. It appears to be particularly effective at helping break down stubborn fat stores, such as around the belly, hips, back, and underneath the arms. 
• Improve body composition by helping reduce body fat mass without compromising muscle mass as it taps into stored fat reserves for energy. 

Sinetrol is backed by over a decade of research and four clinical studies. According to these studies, Sinetrol helps shift fat cells (adipose tissue) from white to beige. This transformation changes how the cells behave, so they’re less likely to store fat and more likely to burn it for energy instead.  

In the research studies, Sinetrol led to five times more inches lost from the waist than the placebo and seven times greater weight loss than diet alone. It also led to a six-time greater weight loss with no dietary intervention. In 12 weeks, Sinetrol helped reduce weight by up to 8.25 pounds when combined with a modest diet. 

In addition, Sinetrol ignites lipolysis, or the breakdown of fat into energy. This breakdown of fat also frees fatty acids to elevate overall energy expenditure, so you burn more calories even at rest.  

Finally, Sinetrol helps reduce the overall volume of fatty tissue (aka adipose), specifically in troublesome areas like the belly, under the arms, around the waist, and on the hips.  

By changing the morphology of fat cells (from white to beige), helping you maintain lean tissue, and boosting metabolic rate, Sinetrol doesn’t just ignite change: with continued use and when combined with a healthy nutrition and exercise plan, it helps support long-term benefits and sustainable weight management. 

Chromax and Berberine to tackle appetite management  

Chromax & Berberine tackle other aspects of weight loss—satiety and appetite management. Together, these two researched ingredients have been shown to synergistically help curb your appetite and promote feeling of fullness.  Chromax is a tested, patented and highly biovabilable form of chromium  supported by over 35 clinical studies affirming its benefits or weight management, body composition, blood sugar metabolism, appetite and craving management, and more  

According to research, Chromax may help to support the regulation of appetite hormones, so it helps control hunger to help you eat less. By increasing satiety, it aids in portion control and overall food intake. In addition, Chromax m ay lead to healthier blood sugar levels, more efficient carbohydrate metabolism, reduced caloric intake, and improved muscle maintenance during weight loss 

Berberine is a compound found in plants that’s been shown to help stimulate GLP-1 or Glucagon-Like Peptide-1. This important hormone is released in the gut after you eat. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite by letting the brain know the body is satisfied, which can help you eat less.  

Berberine appears to amplify the release and effectiveness of GLP-1 to support greater appetite control. This may, in turn, lead to less cravings for food, so it’s easier to control food intake.  

Together, these two nutrients help manage appetite from multiple angles to aid portion control.
