Additional information

Weight-loss diets are often low in nutrients that support your metabolism, like folic acid, magnesium, iron, vitamin D, zinc and some B vitamins; many of these nutrients are also involved in energy production. Supplementing with these nutrients can help metabolism and support energy production. 

Metabolic rate is governed mainly by the brain and the thyroid gland. Forskolin, the active constitute of the herb Coleus, may support normal thyroid function and metabolism. Capsicum has been found to stimulate the breakdown of fats and increase metabolic rate when added to food.

Maintaining energy levels during weight loss also requires adequate iron levels. Low iron levels can decrease your capacity for exercise and may reduce metabolic rate by lowering thyroid function. Supplementing with iron while on a diet may support normal thyroid function and the body's metabolism.

Weight-loss diets are commonly low in calcium, which supports cellular fat breakdown. Low levels of calcium can slow down the breakdown of fats and may decrease calorie burning. 

Blackmores Metabolism Advantage™ has been formulated to support metabolism and nutrient requirements during weight-loss programs. It helps to support the production of energy by assisting in the metabolism of fat, proteins, sugar and other carbohydrates.
