thermogenic

Literally, "to make heat". Often used to describe over the counter compounds that allegedly unlock fat from cells so it can be burned, promoting weight loss. The use of this word in a product description is a sure sign of quackery, snake oil, and other miraculous curative nonsense.

Our amazing new thermogenic compound will help you shed those unwanted pounds in only 8 hours! Yeah, right.
