heavyweights of the weight loss nutrient world...
Fucus Vesiculosus: A natural sea plant extract that has been used for hundreds of years by traditional healers worldwide to aid varying ailments. More recently it has been used by both herbalists and conventional practitioners to help in weight control. Fucus contains iodine which your thyroid gland uses to make thyroid hormone, leading to increased metabolism as reported in the American Thyroid Assn., 1996. This increased metabolism has the potential to initiate weight loss without a change in your eating habits, therefore not having to give up your favorite foods.
5 HTP: During dieting, tryptophan and serotonin levels drop dramatically. These low serotonin levels have been associated with carbohydrate cravings and resultant binge eating. 5-HTP can help prevent this dieting associated decline in serotonin, thus enhancing weight loss. Three clinical trials have demonstrated decreased food intake and subsequent weight loss with 5-HTP supplementation.
Guarana: Harvested Guarana yields about 10% caffeine. Caffeine pushes the nervous system into action, encouraging it into fat burning by a process called lipolysis. This means it releases fat cells into the bloodstream to use for fuel. It also gives you a decent energy boost that helps performance.
Garcinia Cambogia: is a small fruit that resembles a miniature pumpkin. It is indigenous to India and parts of Asia, and an extract called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), suppresses appetite and enhances fat burning.
Zinc Pyruvate: This new compound is used to enhance fat burning, boost endurance, increase lean muscle mass, decrease blood glucose and lower blood cholesterol.
DHEA: Dr. Terrence T. Yen was studying the effect of DHEA on genetically obese mice. Although the DHEA-treated mice ate normally, they remained thin and they lived longer than control mice. This leanness effect was also conspicuously noted by Dr. Schwartz. In another experiment, Dr. M. P. Cleary found that even middle-aged obese rats lost weight when fed DHEA-supplemented food. Diabetes, a typical complication of obesity, was also dramatically decreased.
Yerba Mate: In 1964 one group of investigators from the Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society concluded that Yerba Mate contains nearly all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life. It easily eliminates the sensation of hunger and can impart as much invigoration as a full meal, according to the well-known Chilean herbalists J. Zin and R. Weiss.
Flaxseed Oil: Despite all the concern about fat in our diet, the body does require fat to function. The problem is that most people are getting the wrong kinds of fats in their diet and are lacking the so-called good fats in their diets. The human body cannot function properly without two polyunsaturated fats - linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. These fatty acids, which are found in Flaxseed Oil, are essential to normal cell structure and body function.
Lecithin: Contains Choline & Inositol which are essential for the breakdown of fats and cholesterol. It helps prevent arterial congestion and distributes bodyweight, increases immunity to virus infections, cleans the liver and purifies the kidneys.
L-Carnitine: Starts the burning of fat for energy by making it possible for the long chain fatty acids it transports to enter the cell. If the fatty acids cannot reach the mitochondria where they are transformed to cellular energy, it stands to reason they are going to be deposited in places where the body will suffer from their presence, as happens in fatty liver disease, fatty build-up in the heart, and obesity, where fatty build-up occurs in the muscles.
Zinc Citrate: Zinc is required for many functions in the body, most important of which for weight loss is fat and carbohydrate metabolism.
