紅辣椒（Capsicum annuum）萃取物（Capsimaxǂ）：50毫克
Capsimax是從紅辣椒提煉而成的萃取物（Capsicum annuum）。辣椒素是一種萃取自各種辣椒的獨特化合物，具有活性成份，是令辣椒帶有辛辣味的來源。辣椒素由五種主要成份組成：辣椒鹼、二氫辣椒鹼、降二氫辣椒鹼、高辣椒鹼及高二氫辣椒鹼。辣椒鹼、二氫辣椒鹼與降二氫辣椒鹼是最強效的化合物，佔紅辣椒中的辣椒素濃度最少90%。

辣椒素對能量與代謝的影響或可成為你體重管理計劃的有力幫手。研究顯示，它們或有助抑制食慾、促進生熱作用和脂肪分解。它亦與血液中游離脂肪酸甘油指數上升有關，這表示它可支援脂肪分解。

長期攝取辣椒素對身體組成有良好效果。Capsimax辣椒萃取物中的辣椒素有助促進脂肪分解及支援脂肪代謝，以產生能量。一項針對Capsimax配合低熱量飲食及運動計劃對身體組成影響的研究發現，經過8星期後，結果顯示體重、脂肪量、腰圍和臀圍均有所減少，而肌肉含量則有所增加。

ǂCapsimax為Omniactive健康科技公司的註冊商標。

綠茶萃取物：300毫克
除草本茶外，所有茶葉都是由灌木茶樹的乾葉製成。葉的氧化程度決定茶的種類。綠茶是由未經氧化的葉製成，是加工程序較少的茶類之一，因此含有較多抗氧化物與有益的多酚類。綠茶內含多酚類（兒茶素）和黃酮醇等活性成份，均屬強效抗氧化物。單寧是一種大分子多酚類，為綠茶主要的活性化合物，當中兒茶素佔近90%。幾種含量較高的兒茶素分別為：表兒茶素（EC）、表沒食子兒茶素（EGC）、表兒茶素沒食子酸（ECG）及表沒食子兒茶素沒食子酸（EGCG）。EGCG佔總兒茶素的10-50%，其成效亦是所有兒茶素中最強，它具有強大的抗氧化活性。綠茶或綠茶萃取物已被證實能增加血漿多酚類的整體含量，以及EGCG和其他兒茶素的含量。

綠茶同時獲證實能支援心血管系統，以及或有助於穩定三酸甘油脂。*此外，透過支援生熱作用和脂肪代謝，綠茶或有助減輕體重。

維他命C：100毫克
維他命C，又稱抗壞血酸，是一種人體代謝反應所需的重要營養素。中國人的維他命C膳食攝取量估計每日80.1毫克，較估計平均需求量（EAR）的85毫克為低。椒類（甜椒、青椒、紅椒、紅辣椒及青辣椒）、柑橘類水果及果汁、椰菜仔、椰菜花、椰菜、羽衣甘藍、寬葉羽衣甘藍、芥菜、西蘭花、菠菜、番石榴、奇異果、黑加侖子及士多啤梨均含有維他命C。堅果和穀物則含有少量維他命C。重要的是，維他命C的活性會因高溫烹調而受到破瓌。

維他命C是一種強效抗氧化物，是促進健康免疫系統不可或缺的物質。維他命C支援排毒，促進膠原蛋白的正常合成和傷口的正常癒合，以及或有助穩定膽固醇水平。*抗壞血酸形式的維他命C的與調節鐵的吸收、傳輸與儲存有關。它能促進腸道對鐵質的正常吸收，以及或可促進細胞儲存鐵質。

對減重者而言，維他命C是一種必需維他命，因為在生熱作用過程中所需要不斷補充。它有助減慢維他命B群的氧化，進而幫助減輕偶發性疲勞。由於維他命C具有促進正常癒合的功能，因此或可幫助進行劇烈運動的人士維持肌肉舒適。更重要的是，透過支援脂肪代謝、脂肪燃燒、蛋白質生成，以及中和自由基等生物途徑，維他命C能為減重者提供多種好處。

維他命B6：10毫克
維他命B6能透過支援蛋白質以及三磷酸腺苷（ATP）的正常合成為身體提供燃料，從而促進正常代謝。它同時有助支援膳食脂肪的正常吸收和利用。維他命B6是生產能量的必需輔助因子，可增強身體抵抗疲勞的能力。家禽、魚類、全穀物和香蕉都是維他命B6的主要膳食來源。

維他命B5：12毫克
泛酸，又稱維他命B5，負責支援正常的生理功能。它在一百多種代謝功能中發揮重要作用，包括：碳水化合物、蛋白質和脂質的能量代謝。泛酸主要來自於植物與動物，並以結合與游離形式存在。維他命B5的食物來源包括內臟（肝臟及腎臟）、蛋黃、牛油果、腰果和花生、糙米、大豆、扁豆、西蘭花及牛奶，而含量最豐富的是鱈魚卵和吞拿魚卵。

鉻：160微克
鉻是一種重要的微量礦物質，或有助於穩定血糖，以及或有助控制食慾。*鉻可支援身體對糖、蛋白質與脂肪的正常使用，亦可幫助減少身體脂肪。從飲食中攝取鉻的份量通常很低，約0.4-2.5%，而草酸和抗酸劑會抑制鉻的吸收。

鉻有多種價態，最常見的有三價態和六價態。許多食物都存有少量鉻，大多為三價態。鉻的食物來源包括啤酒酵母、全穀物早餐、西蘭花、西梅乾、蘑菇、啤酒、香料、紅糖、咖啡、茶、葡萄酒和肉製品。精製食品、水果和蔬菜則含較少量的鉻。

可可鹼︰20毫克
可可鹼是一種類似於咖啡因的甲基黃嘌呤，存在於多種植物中；當中最為人熟悉的有可可豆、咖啡豆、瓜拿納果及某些茶葉。它作為朱古力內眾多化合物的其中一種而為人熟悉，其含量在黑朱古力中較牛奶朱古力為高，為黑朱古力帶來濃郁的苦澀味。由於可可鹼與咖啡因擁有相同的機制，能抑制腺苷受體，故可促進精神和警覺性。不過，它的提神效果較咖啡因溫和，而且持續時間相對較長。*

馬黛茶樹葉粉：5毫克
馬黛茶樹是常綠植物，白花紅果，生長於南美洲地區。馬黛茶樹的樹葉，乾透後或經烘焙後可製作成茶葉或茶葉萃取物。它內含咖啡因、可可鹼、茶鹼、葉綠醇、豆固醇及角鯊烯。這些成份的濃度會因生長條件、收割方式及製作方法不同而有所差異。

與咖啡相似，馬黛茶可用作增強體力、紓緩偶發性的精神與身體疲勞。它具抗氧化物質，含有像黃嘌呤、咖啡酸衍生物、皂苷及多酚等有益植物營養素。動物研究顯示，馬黛茶或可抑制食慾，並支援正常代謝。

L-酪氨酸：100毫克
酪氨酸是一種氨基酸，由苯丙氨酸於體內製造。酪氨酸存在於乳製品、肉類、魚類、雞蛋、堅果、豆類、燕麥和小麥之中。

生薑粉：50毫克
生薑原產於東南亞地區，被廣泛應用在食物及草本營養補充品中，或有助減輕體重。生薑含有薑辣素，是一種能激發體內生物活性的化合物，或有助加快食物消化，是減重的關鍵。

DMAE（二甲基乙醇胺）：40毫克
DMAE，又稱二甲胺乙醇、二甲基乙醇胺或丹醇，是一種於體內生成的有機化合物，屬於膽鹼的前驅物。它亦存在於高油脂的魚類之中，例如三文魚、沙甸魚和鯷魚。DMAE可製成營養補充品，亦可用作乳液、乳霜及其他護膚品成份。

我如何確定我是否過重？
進行身體質量指數（BMI）測試是評估身體是否過重的方法之一。這個測試可在很多網站上進行，透過計算體重和身高之間的關係，來量度你的BMI。你亦可諮詢你的醫護人員。有了這些資訊，你就可以確定應採取哪些步驟來達到理想體重。

如何減輕體重並保持理想體重？
有效減輕體重的三種主要方式包括：展開健身計劃、調整生活方式以及注意飲食。

我需要採取甚麼行動來調整我的生活方式？
調整生活方式的第一步就是制訂一個適合你個人的飲食計劃。為了讓運動得以融入你的生活當中，你應該選擇一些感興趣的運動，每週至少三次，每次20至30分鐘。同時，設定合理的目標，當達成目標後給予自己獎勵。

有甚麼飲食計劃可以遵循？
制定飲食計劃時，儘量避免選擇難以堅持的潮流飲食方法。一個好的計劃就是避免太夜進餐，在白天進食時，應少食多餐，健康飲食，在飲食中加入新鮮水果和蔬菜。最好將脂肪攝取量減少至總熱量的30%以下，每天至少攝取25-35克纖維。此外，每天儘量喝8至10杯水。你可透過使用膳食營養補充品，助你達至最佳的身體代謝。當低升糖飲食（如TLS體重管理計劃）配合營養、運動、營養補充品和健康生活方式時，能達到最理想的減重效果。

「搖搖式節食」是否對身體有害？
是的。這種節食方式會讓你的身體進入防禦模式。這種防禦模式會減慢身體的基礎代謝率，以防止身體飢餓。當基礎代謝率低於正常水平，減重就會變得更加困難。減重的關鍵是要採取持之以恆的生活方式，將營養、營養補充品與運動相結合，就如TLS體重管理計劃所提供的生活方式。

甚麼是生熱作用？
生熱作用是人體透過燃燒攝取或儲存的脂肪來產生熱量的過程，可支援健康的棕色脂肪或棕色脂肪組織。棕色脂肪透過燃燒大量卡路里來產生熱量，提升體能。

TLS消脂配方V6可與甚麼產品配搭使用？
TLS消脂配方V6可與TLS CORE高效修身配方健醣‧控脂二合一、TLS CLA塑身去脂配方 — 紅花籽油精華，以及TLS高纖蛋白營養飲品配搭使用，以達致最佳效果。我們建議你使用hk.tlsSlim.com來建立你的個人化體重管理計劃，包括日常飲食和運動，助你達到最佳的健康和減重效果。

食用TLS消脂配方V6時，有甚麼禁忌或需要注意的事項？
請勿使用超過每日建議的份量。若你患有高血壓、心血管疾病、糖尿病、或者對咖啡因敏感，使用本產品前請先諮詢你的醫護人員。如果你患有慢性或持續性肝臟疾病，或格雷夫斯病（Graves’ disease），請勿使用本產品。若你目前正在服用阿托伐他汀（Atorvastatin）、β-受體阻滯劑或任何其他處方藥物，或患有長期疾病，使用本產品前請諮詢你的醫護人員。懷孕或哺乳期的婦女，請勿使用本產品。避免兒童誤取。
