Inulin Fructo-Oligosacharide

• Is derived from Chicory roots. As a prebiotic, Inulin fiber stimulates the growth of friendly and healthy intestinal bacteria which supports good colon health.

• Dr. Liv Janvary presented a concise review of the data supporting the weight management potential of inulin and oligofructose, including several human studies that reported supplementation with the prebiotic fibres led to increased satiety (feeling of fullness), reduced hunger, a lower energy intake & enhance expression of the appetite-suppressing glucagon-like peptide-1.

Citrus Aurantium

Originally indigenous to Southeast Asia - is now cultivated in southern Europe and other subtropical areas, particularly Spain, Portugal, Israel, and various islands in the Caribbean. According to recent research at McGill University, another reason Citrus aurantium gives you a smooth flow of energy without the jitters is because it stimulates certain receptors (called beta-3 adrenergic receptors) that help break down fat-known as lipolysis. Simultaneously, this stimulation causes an increase in the metabolic rate. Therefore, you burn fat without bothering other receptors (namely, beta-1, beta-2 or alpha-1) that over stimulate your heart rate and blood pressure.

• Stimulating thermogenesis; Reducing weight; Increasing the percentage of lean muscle in relation to total body mass; Improving athletic performance; Suppressing appetite.

• Citrus aurantium increases energy expenditures up to 29%. - Increase in the Thermic Effect of Food by Adrenergic Amines from Citrus Aurantium, Gougeon el al., 2005

• Citrus aurantium delivers significant loss of body fat. Effects on Lipid Levels, and Mood States in Overweight Healthy Adults, Colker & Kalman et al., 1999

• Citrus aurantium increased resting metabolic rate and was more effective in inducing weight loss and burning body fat than diet and exercise alone. - Zenk et al., 2004; Zenk et al., 2003

• Citrus aurantium increased basal metabolic rate and aided weight loss, enhanced metabolism, reduced fatigue, and curbed appetite without serious adverse event. - Kalman & Rubin et al., 2003; Kalman & Rubin et al., 2002; Kendall Reed, 2000

Green Tea Polyphenol

• Grean Tea Polyphenol contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGGC), which reduced development of oxidized fatty materials in the bloodstream, such as low-density-lipopretein (LDL) cholesterol, the bad cholesterol. Oxidized fats, especially LDL cholesterol, have been linked to the formation of artery-clogging plaque and heart attacks. In the January American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Nagao's team reports that both groups of men lost weight-roughly 1.3 kilograms for those drinking the low-catechins tea & 2.4 kg for those on the brew heavily spiked with catechins.

Caralluma Fimbriata

• Caralluma Fimbriata is essentially a vegetable of dialy use in tribal India. Indian tribals chew chunks of Caralluma Fimbriata to suppress hunger when on a day's hunt. This succulent is used amongst the labor classes in South India to suppress appetite, enhance endurance & it is also used as thirst quencher. Often, tribesmen would pack only a bag of Caralluma Fimbriata to sustain themselves during long journeys. The key phytochemical constituents of the Carralluma Fimbriata are Pregnane Glycosides, Flavone Glycosides, Megastigmane Glycosides, Bitter Principles, Saponins etc.

S.O.D Enzyme

• Dr. Vincente Micol from the Universidad Miguel Hernandez in Spain presented supplementation with superoxide dismutase (OSD) enzyme (a nano-encapsuated watermelon extract) for 30 days led to a reduction in BMI of 2.02 points and weight by 3.06 kg. Blood levels of antioxidant enzymes also increased (18 per cent for SOD, 20 per cent for catalase, & 17 per cent for glutathione peroxidase).

Digestive Enzyme : Alpha & Beta Amylase, Protease I, II, III, Peptizyme, Lipase, Cellulase, Lactase, Maltase, Invertase & Bromelain.

Enzymes, which act as the spark plugs for the vast majority of chemical reactions that make life possible. The Enzyme Delivery System improves the absorption of many of the vitamins, minerals, herbs and phytonutrients in the food complexes you consume.

• The blood is the river of life which the cells & organs dispose of their garbage & dead material. Enzymes improve circulation by eating the excess fibrin & reducing the stickiness of blood cells. These two actions minimize the leading cause of stoke/heart attack.

• According to researchers, Amber Ackerson & Anthony Cichoke in Portland Oregon, enzymes fight the aging process by increasing blood supply to the skin, bringing life-giving nutrients & carrying away waste products that make your skin look dull & unhealthy.

• Enzymes are the first line of defense against inflammation. It cleanses the FC receptors on the white blood cells, improving their function & availability to fight off infection.

Natural Amino Acid Complex

Is a complex blend of specific amino acids which promote rapid muscle growth, double boost for daily energy, strengthens immune system, and facilitates use of fat for energy.

Astaxanthin

Is the major carotenoid responsible for the pink-red pigmentation of fish and shrimps. Astaxanthin performs all three of the key antioxidant tasks including quenching, scavening, and trapping free radicals, and enhances the activity of other antioxidant nutrients. Astaxanthin has been claimed to be ten times more effective than beta carateneand 100 times more effective than vitamin E in preventing lipid peroxidation. Astaxanthin protects the cellular and mitochondrial membranes and the ocular tissues against the photo-oxidative damage to DNA. Carotenoids can help protect the retina from oxidative damage. The free radical scavenging activity of astaxanthin reduces oxidative damage of LDL-cholesterol (thereby reducing arterial plaque formation), cell membranes, mitochondrial membranes. Astaxanthin might exert beneficial effects in protection against hypertension & stroke, and could improve memory in vascular dementia.

Chito-oligosaccharide

Chitosan Oligosaccharide has the following benefits;

• Blinds excess fat and inhibits fat absorption
• Lowers LDL/boosts HDL cholesterol
• Anti-cancer
• Anti-bacterial

• Supports immunity
• Lowers blood sugar
• Controls blood pressure
• Prevents constipation
• Enhances absorption of calcium
• Prevents Heart disease
• Reduces blood levels of uric acid

Acerola (Malpighia punicifolia)

Is the richest known natural sources of vitamin C, carotenoids & the synergistic bioflavonoids-rutin & hesperidins. It is a powerful antioxidant & free radical scavenger for the skin as well that fight cellular aging. In addition, Acerola contains minerals salts that have been shown to aid in the remineralization of tired & stressed skin, while the mucilage & proteins have skin hydrating properties & promote capillary conditioning.

Chlorella

A freshwater single-celled green algae touted as the whole food. Aside from being a complete protein & containing all the B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and the major mineral (with zinc & iron), it has been found to improve the immune system, improve digestion, protect against radiation, aid in the prevention of degenerative diseases, help in treatment of Candida albicans, relieve arthritis pain and aid in the success of numerous weight loss program. Chlorella is considered to be a first class detoxifying agent, capable of removing alcohol from the liver & heavy metals (such as cadmium and mercury), certain pesticides, herbicides, and polychlorbiphenyls (PCBs) from the body's tissues. Chlorella can also absorb toxins from the intestines, help relieve chronic constipation, favorably alter the bacterial flora content of the bowel and eliminate intestinal gas. It is also effective in healing skin wounds, both mild and severe.

Dandelion

Opuntia ficus-indica

Is a species of cactus and a long-domesticated crop plant important in agricultural economies throughout arid and semiarid parts of the world. The latest study conducted on Opuntia ficus indica showed amazing results. This study, conducted on more than 60 people, revealed another facet of Opuntia ficus indica; beyond its weight management properties, Opuntia ficus indica offers further health benefit. The study highlighted the positive role of Opuntia ficus indica in balancing blood lipid levels (HDL & LDL cholesterol):

• On day 14, Opuntia ficus indica tripled the benefit of a well-balanced diet, decreasing the LDL cholesterol level by 10%, compared to only 3% obtained with placebo.

• Most importantly, Opuntia ficus indica improved the level of "good cholesterol" (HDL cholesterol level) which is associated with a reduced cardiovascular risk.

• And on day 42, near than 40% of women in the Opuntia ficus indica group were diagnosed to be free from Metabolic syndrome (Syndrome X).

Opuntia ficus indica, more than a weight management fiber: a fully qualified health ingredient for nutraceutical and food applications.

Neem Leaf Extract

Neem has a long history of use in the traditional medical systems of India (Ayurvedic, Unani-Tibb). Neem leaf and bark extract are most consistently recommended in ancient medical texts and by herbal practitioners for gastrointestinal upsets, diarrhea and intestinal infections, skin ulcers and infections, and malaria.

Pro-biotic

• BA bacterium that keeps the digestive system running smoothly, blocks the growth of harmful bacteria & boosts the immune system. Bifidobacterium Longum is among the first colonizers of the sterile digestive tract of new born (Human) & predominate in breast-fed infants, according to Fabrizio Arigoni, of the Swiss food & infant formula manufacturer Nestle in Lausanne, led the study.
