About Decocainized Coca Leaf
One of the most unique and effective ingredients found in Phoenix Boost is the Decocainized Coca Leaf Extract. Coca leaf is considered one of the most valued herbs by native Andean people. It contains over twelve alkaloids with numerous healing properties as shown below.
Weight Loss
Coca tea contains alkaloids that help promote weight loss. Certain alkaloids, such as the ones found in coca plants, increase lipolysis, or the mobilization and breakdown of fatty acids for energy in your body, according to Louise Tenney, author of "Today's Herbal Health." Mobilizing fat stores from adipose tissue,(fat cells), to your muscles for energy, boosts your metabolism and preserves muscle glycogen, increasing your body's natural fat-burning capability.
When consumed on a regular basis, coca leaf extract will promote the reduction of body fat without side effects.
Energy and Mental Focus
“The leaves of the coca plant contain compounds that provide a stimulatory effect on your body, similar to caffeine, that can boost energy and mental focus”, notes Tenney. Coca tea contains a compound called inulin, a type of naturally occurring polysaccharide produced in some plants that provides a stimulatory effect. The stimulatory effect of coca tea is similar to coffee, but it works through different cellular mechanisms due to the lack of caffeine in the leaves of the coca plant. (no jitters or crash.)
Immune System
Coca tea contains high concentrations of vitamins that may have antioxidant properties. Vitamins A, B-2, B-6, C and E are all present in coca leaves, which may all help to boost the function of your immune system, increasing your body's ability to destroy potentially toxic compounds in your bloodstream.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the antioxidant properties of vitamins C and E may help reduce the risk of developing several types of cardiovascular disease.
Digestion and Altitude Sickness
According to "The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements, and Herbs," coca leaf tea has been used in South America for centuries to reduce gastrointestinal distress associated with indigestion and altitude sickness. Drinking coca tea and chewing on coca leaves will alleviate symptoms of altitude sickness, including nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, and vomiting. This effect may be due to the presence of various alkaloids as well as several B vitamins, which may help improve blood flow and oxygen uptake at high altitudes.
