Garcinia Cambogia
(Citrimax), 250 mg, This is a safe and effective all-natural plant extract that
studies show can help suppress appetite and inhibit fat production. Citrimax
contains standardized levels of (-) hydroxycitric acid (HCA). HCA is a rare
organic acid, shown to suppress appetite and inhibit fat production without
stimulating the central nervous system. It's primary function is to
inhibit "lipogenesis", the process by which the body converts
carbohydrates into fat. when foods are eaten, carbohydrates are digested and
broken down into glucose, the special blood sugar the body uses for energy.
Glucose molecules that are not immediately used for energy are stored in the
liver and muscles as "glycogen". When glycogen stores become full,
excess molecules of glucose are converted to fat by an enzyme called ATP-citrate
lyase. Citrimax works by temporarily inhibiting this enzyme. By inhibiting
ATP-citrate lyase, HCA reduces the availability of acetyl-CoA, the building
block for fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.*
The appetite control mechanism of HCA does not
involve any conditioned aversion to food, i.e., HCA does not alter taste, cause
gastric distress or illness, etc. Rather, this control appears to stem from the
increased production of glycogen and/or stimulation of glucoreceptors in the
liver, either of which results in early satiety through signals sent to the
brain via the vagus nerve.*
Vitamin C-90 mg, Acts as an
effective anti-oxidant, catalyst for metabolic reactions, and a nutrient source
for those individuals using a reduced amount of food, such as people who are
dieting.*
The primary function of all B Vitamins in this formula is
to facilitate nutrient conversion into useable carbohydrates. This has two
advantages, it triggers the biological function of the active ingredient
(Garcinia Cambogia works best in a high-carbohydrate environment), and it serves
to allow the dieter to gain the absolute maximum nutritional efficiency of the
reduced amount of food they take in. This should lead to less cravings, more
energy, higher endurance and enhanced cognitive function. In addition each B
Vitamin serves many primary and secondary roles in nutrition and biological
function.*
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)-10 mg,
Thiamin increases circulation and assists in the production of hydrochloric
acid, blood formation, and carbohydrate metabolism. Thiamine has a direct
correlation to the production of energy, and is needed for normal muscle tone of
vital internal organs.*
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)-10
mg, Riboflavin is helpful for red blood cell formation, production of
antibodies, cell respiration, and normal growth. Riboflavin, like other
B-Vitamins is directly associated with metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and
proteins.*
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)- 20 mg,
Niacin is necessary for circulation and healthy skin. Also important to nervous
system function, improvements of the digestive system, and stabilizing
cholesterol levels.*
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)- 15
mg, Pyridoxine is helpful in alleviating water retention. It also helps produce
hydrochloric acid, and absorb fats and protein. Maintains Potassium and sodium
balance, and red blood cell formation. Also vital for normal cell growth and
division, and the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Involved in more biological
functions than any other single nutrient with the possible exception of Vitamin
E.*
Vitamin B12
(Cyanocobalamin)- 6 mcg, Aids cell formation and normal cell life and function.
Necessary for proper digestion, protein synthesis, and carbohydrate metabolism.*
Choline (as Bitartrate)- 165
mg, Necessary for nerve transmission, liver function, and lecithin formation.
Choline minimizes fat in the liver and aids in hormone production. Also
necessary to properly metabolize fat and cholesterol. Also linked to increased
endurance and mental performance.*
Chromium (Picolinate)- 100
mcg, Vital in the production and maintenance of the body's energy cycle.
Metabolizes glucose and properly synthesizes fats and protein. Stabilizes blood
sugar levels and promotes the burning of excess fat, and the building and
maintenance of lean muscle tissue.*
Iodine- 150 mcg,
Metabolizes fat and helps promote healthy thyroid function. Iodine deficiencies
are linked to increased risk of breast cancer and excessive weight gain through
reduced thyroid function.*
Organic Catalyst (Polyfloramin)-
100 mcg, An all-natural blend of several plant-derived minerals and trace
elements. Helpful in balancing the bodies chemistry to maintain and stabilize an
efficient use of available nutrients and promotes overall vitality. Some
minerals present in trace amounts include, but is not limited to: Calcium,
Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Boron, Cobalt, Selenium, Zinc, and Sulfur.*
Green Tea (Extract)- 75 mg,
An all-natural nutrient source most widely used as an energy producer,
anti-oxidant cancer fighter, immune system enhancer, and as a source of overall
vitality. This should serve as an excellent complimentary ingredient for those
individuals operating under reduced caloric intake such as you might find in
dieting conditions.*
Guarana Seed Extract (Std.
22% Caffeine)- 25 mg, All-natural caffeine source equaling the caffeine in about
1/4 cup of coffee.*
Grape Seed Extract (95%
OPC) - 10 mg
