What are some natural (herbal) supplements that are good for fat burning or metabolic increase for people who are concerned about their blood pressure?
Thanks.

The biggest one is actually a mineral called Chromium (which is also in most multivitamins). It helps to boost glucose metabolism among others, so it helps with energy and is often used by Diabetics because of that… but it can be too good for glucose in some cases, so Chromium has a warning to check with a healthcare provider if you’re Diabetic/Hypoglycemic.
There is also a natural product called CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) which is a fat that helps to burn fat. It’s a weird idea, but it works.

There are other natural supplements that give energy that help you workout to burn more fat, but don’t help your metabolism as directly. Also, exercising on a regular basis helps your body naturally increase metabolism on it’s own. Exercising with those two supplements and/or a variety of others will definitely help to burn a lot of fat and are commonly used for weight loss.

Of course, on the flip side, there is no magic pill that will let you burn fat while sitting on the couch watching TV… but once one is made, you know it’ll be the hottest selling product. ;-) Good luck and I hope I helped!

I go the natural route , I heard that grapefruit is a great fat burner , So rather than take supplements or pills , I eat a grapefruit from time to time to help burn fat . It's helped me lose a lot of weight and keep it off .

Teas can also help with this. It is proven that green tea speeds up the metabolism which as a result gives you more energy to be active and to burn fat.
