Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A composition for reducing the weight of an individual, comprising an effective amount of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof, L-tyrosine, green tea extract, supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof, and calcium.  
   
   
       2 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein said green tea extract comprises catechin and caffeine.  
   
   
       3 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the effective dose comprises of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 4.8 mg (10,000 to about 480,000 Scoville heat units); about 101 to about 4,800 mg of L-tyrosine; about 125 to about 6,000 mg of green tea extract; about 12 to about 600 mg supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof; and about 50 to about 8,000 mg of calcium.  
   
   
       4 . The composition of  claim 3  wherein said green tea extract comprises about 31 to about 1,500 mg of catechin and about 12 to about 600 mg of caffeine.  
   
   
       5 . The composition of  claim 1  further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.  
   
   
       6 . A method for reducing the weight of a human which comprises administration of an effective dose of a composition comprising capsaicin and/or analogs thereof, L-tyrosine, green tea extract, supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof, and calcium.  
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein said green tea extract comprises catechin and caffeine.  
   
   
       8 . A method of  claim 6  wherein the effective dose of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 4.8 mg (10,000 to about 480,000 Scoville heat units); about 101 to about 4,800 mg of L-tyrosine; about 125 to about 6,000 mg of green tea extract; about 12 to about 600 mg supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof; and about 50 to about 8,000 mg of calcium.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said green tea extract comprises about 31 to about 1,500 mg of catechin and about 12 to about 600 mg of caffeine.  
   
   
       10 . A method for inhibiting weight re-gain after a desired weight loss comprising the step of administering, after said weight loss, an effective dose of a composition comprising capsaicin and/or analogs thereof, L-tyrosine, green tea extract, supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof, and calcium.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein said green tea extract comprises catechin and caffeine  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the effective dose of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof is in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 4.8 mg (10,000 to about 480,000 Scoville heat units); about 101 to about 4,800 mg of L-tyrosine; about 125 to about 6,000 mg of green tea extract; about 12 to about 600 mg supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof; and about 50 to about 8,000 mg of calcium.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein said green tea extract comprises about 31 to about 1,500 mg of catechin and about 12 to about 600 mg of caffeine.  
   
   
       14 . A composition for reducing the weight of an individual, comprising an effective amount of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof, L-tyrosine, green tea extract, supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof.  
   
   
       15 . The composition of  claim 14  wherein said green tea extract comprises catechin and caffeine.  
   
   
       16 . The composition of  claim 14  wherein the effective dose comprises of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 4.8 mg (10,000 to about 480,000 Scoville heat units); about 101 to about 4,800 mg of L-tyrosine; about 125 to about 6,000 mg of green tea extract; about 12 to about 600 mg supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof.  
   
   
       17 . The composition of  claim 16  wherein said green tea extract comprises about 31 to about 1,500 mg of catechin and about 12 to about 600 mg of caffeine.  
   
   
       18 . The composition of  claim 14  further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.  
   
   
       19 . A method for reducing the weight of a human which comprises administration of an effective dose of a composition comprising capsaicin and/or analogs thereof, L-tyrosine, green tea extract, supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof.

       21 . A method of  claim 19  wherein the effective dose of capsaicin and/or analogs thereof in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 4.8 mg (10,000 to about 480,000 Scoville heat units); about 101 to about 4,800 mg of L-tyrosine; about 125 to about 6,000 mg of green tea extract; about 12 to about 600 mg supplemental caffeine and/or analogs thereof.
