Calorie-burning products.

Medifast, Inc. Owings Mills, MD, a leading portion-controlled weight loss program, has launched a new product line called Momentum, which is designed specifically to induce thermogenesis. Momentum by Medifast is designed to burn extra calories, boost metabolism and decrease appetite, and has been clinically shown to have the maximum effect on inducing thermogenesis, making it ideal for clients in a weight loss plateau or the weight maintenance phase of the Medifast Program. Momentum by Medifast products contain 100 milligrams of caffeine and 90 milligrams of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea. Momentum by Medifast features two types of products: meal replacements and a new product called a Flavor Infuser. Meal replacements are available in Banana Creme Shake, Cappuccino and Chai Latte flavors. Flavor Infusers are pencil paks containing individually packaged servings of flavored powder that can be added to water, and are available in Green Tea Lemon, Mixed Berry and Strawberry Lemonade flavors. Medifast clients can use any combination of Momentum by Medifast meal replacements and Flavor Infusers three times a day to produce the desired effects of thermogenesis.

In other developments, the company has introduced Super Omega-3 supplements, which are available in enteric coated softgel capsules that provide organic flaxseed oil and the healthy fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
