What the ingredients may do
- Water: Helps maintain hydration and can increase feelings of fullness.
- Ginger: May have a small effect on satiety and digestion.
- Cinnamon: Can add flavor without sugar and may have a modest effect on blood sugar in some people.
- Lemon: Adds flavor and vitamin C but does not directly burn fat.
- Cayenne pepper: May slightly increase calorie burning for a short time, but the effect is small.
