Active +PLUS isn’t just a random mix of ingredients – it’s a carefully crafted formula where each component complements the others to amplify their effects. We’ve discussed the science behind each ingredient individually, but equally important is how they work together as a team. By combining prebiotic fiber, probiotic, botanical extracts, stimulants, and micronutrients, Active +PLUS addresses multiple aspects of health that contribute to an active lifestyle. This multifaceted approach is what sets it apart and is firmly rooted in scientific evidence of synergy. Here, we’ll explore the benefits of the Active +PLUS formulation as a whole, and how using it can fit into and enhance your daily life.
Comprehensive Metabolic Boost
Active +PLUS targets metabolism from several angles. The green tea extract, caffeine, and Citrus aurantium all promote thermogenesis and fat oxidation, but through slightly different mechanisms. Caffeine ramps up overall calorie burn and energizes you; green tea’s catechins prolong the adrenaline-driven fat burn and improve endurance; synephrine from bitter orange specifically shifts fuel use toward fats and activates brown fat thermogenesis. When taken together, these ingredients have a synergistic effect on increasing metabolic rate and supporting weight management. For example, research shows that catechins plus caffeine yield greater fat loss than either alone. Similarly, combining a fiber like inulin with polyphenols like green tea can enhance weight loss outcomes. In one clinical trial, participants who took green tea catechins together with inulin for 3 months saw significant reductions in body weight, body fat, blood pressure, and fasting glucose. The inulin + catechin combo achieved results (like BMI reduction) that were not observed when catechins were taken without fiber. This finding validates the concept of our formula – by pairing ingredients, we amplify their benefits.
Chromium picolinate adds to this metabolic boost by improving insulin function, meaning the extra energy released by stimulants and catechins is more likely to be taken up by muscle cells efficiently rather than causing blood sugar swings. B12 further ensures that all these metabolic reactions proceed smoothly at the cellular level (acting as a cofactor in energy production). Thus, the formula addresses both the immediate increase in calorie burning (via stimulants/tea) and the optimization of metabolic pathways (via chromium, B12) that help sustain an active metabolism day in, day out.
Gut Health and Nutrient Absorption
What truly differentiates Active +PLUS is the inclusion of chicory inulin and Akkermansia muciniphila, which no ordinary fat-burner or energy supplement contains. These promote a healthy gut environment that can actually make the body more responsive to the other ingredients and to your diet. A well-fed gut microbiome (thanks to inulin prebiotic fiber) and a strong gut lining (supported by Akkermansia) means better absorption of nutrients and potentially better appetite regulation. There is emerging evidence that gut bacteria balance can influence how our body responds to caffeine and polyphenols too – a healthy microbiome may metabolize these compounds at the right rate, prolonging their benefits.
Moreover, by reducing inflammation in the gut and improving insulin sensitivity (both known effects of inulin and Akkermansia), the formula helps break the vicious cycle of metabolic inflammation. Many people with stubborn weight issues suffer from chronic low-grade inflammation that interferes with hormone signals. Active +PLUS addresses this with the gut-focused ingredients. Think of inulin and Akkermansia as grounding the formula in long-term health, ensuring that the faster-acting components (like caffeine and synephrine) operate in a body that’s primed to use them beneficially, not hindered by metabolic dysfunction.
As discussed earlier, combining inulin with catechins led to improved outcomes in research. We expect similar synergy between inulin and Akkermansia: the fiber provides food for beneficial microbes, possibly including Akkermansia itself or its supporting cast, helping increase their abundance. This could magnify Akkermansia’s beneficial effects on weight and insulin. Additionally, chromium and inulin might complement each other in blood sugar control – inulin slows glucose absorption and feeds gut microbes that produce SCFAs which improve insulin sensitivity, while chromium directly enhances insulin action. The end result is a formula that tackles blood sugar management from multiple angles, which is excellent for sustained energy and preventing fat storage.
Energy and Endurance Blend
Active +PLUS is designed to energize your body and mind, not with just a quick spike, but with a combination of immediate and sustained effects. The 100 mg caffeine gives you a rapid boost in alertness and drive within 30 minutes of taking it. Green tea extract and synephrine kick in around the same time to further elevate energy expenditure and mental focus (synephrine has been noted to increase alertness as well). But beyond these, the formula’s B12 ensures that your internal energy production (ATP generation) is running optimally, which is more of a sustained, all-day effect. B12 and chromium also help prevent the crash that sometimes follows stimulant use by keeping your blood sugar stable and cells nourished.
Users of Active +PLUS often report that the energy “feels clean” – this is likely because the combination avoids excessive caffeine and instead relies on synergy. We’ve balanced stimulants with supportive nutrients. Caffeine and green tea together can improve exercise endurance significantly – one provides the push, the other extends it and focuses it. In practice, if you take Active +PLUS 30–60 minutes before a workout, you might notice you can exercise harder and for longer, with less perceived fatigue. At the same time, the inulin is not idle; even during exercise, a well-fed gut microbiome can help maintain hydration and electrolyte absorption, and SCFAs from fiber fermentation may even contribute to energy for the body.
Another synergy is between caffeine and synephrine. Although one might worry about combining stimulants, at the doses in Active +PLUS they complement each other without over-stimulation. Synephrine primarily targets fat receptors and has minimal effect on heart rate, so adding a moderate caffeine means you get a broader stimulatory effect that covers both central (brain) and peripheral (fat tissue) activation. Studies have shown that bitter orange (synephrine) used alongside caffeine for weeks was safe and effective at increasing metabolism without adverse cardiovascular effects. Our formula stays within those studied safe limits, giving you confidence in its use.
Application to Daily Life
How can Active +PLUS be applied to life in general? Consider a typical day: You might take a serving in the morning. The immediate caffeine/tea/synephrine effect helps you shake off grogginess and be productive or hit the gym. As you go through the day, the fiber and probiotic are working in the background to keep your gut happy – perhaps you notice improved digestion or regularity after a week or two of consistent use, as inulin often alleviates constipation and bloating by balancing gut flora. The B12 and chromium are maintaining your energy at the cellular level and preventing that post-lunch energy slump by aiding in proper carbohydrate metabolism. If you have an afternoon training session or simply a long meeting, the lingering effects of green tea catechins (which can last for hours) keep your mind sharp and metabolism humming.
Active +PLUS can also be a helpful companion to a weight loss program or a new fitness regimen. It can enhance the results of a healthy diet and exercise. For instance, if you start a calorie-controlled diet, Active +PLUS may reduce some of the common struggles: chromium can lessen cravings for sweets, caffeine and green tea can counteract the drop in metabolic rate that often accompanies calorie restriction, and inulin can increase feelings of fullness and support gut health despite dietary changes. Meanwhile, Akkermansia could help your body preferentially lose fat by improving how your body handles the diet (studies have linked Akkermansia supplementation to greater decreases in fat mass in dieting individuals).
From a broader perspective, the Active +PLUS formulation is about vitality through balance. It’s not a jittery energy pill nor a simple vitamin – it’s a balanced matrix that supports the interconnected systems of the body. Science shows that optimal performance and health come when multiple bodily systems (metabolic, digestive, neurological) are all functioning well together. That is precisely what we aimed for in this formula: systemic support for an active lifestyle.
In summary, the Active +PLUS product formulation is greater than the sum of its parts. By leveraging scientifically backed synergistic interactions – like fiber with polyphenols for weight loss, stimulants with micronutrients for sustained energy, and prebiotics with probiotics for gut health – it provides comprehensive benefits that can be applied to everyday life. Whether you’re an athlete looking for a competitive edge, a busy parent needing more daily energy, or someone on a wellness journey seeking to improve overall health, Active +PLUS is formulated to support those goals in a factual, evidence-based manner. It embodies VITAVAL’s active lifestyle ethos: fuel the body intelligently and it will reward you with vitality.
