Weight Loss Herbs
The following weight loss herbs have all been used to aid in weight reduction and weight management. However, be sure to use caution when trying any new weight loss herb or herbal weight loss formula. These plants may have a drastic physical effect on the body. Always, consult your healthcare provider before initiating any new weight loss program.
Slimaluma: Gencor Caralluma Extract is cultivated in farms in India and the extract is manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility in South India. In the first study of its kind in the world, Gencor Caralluma extract has been tested and certified non-toxic by a double-blind, randomized clinical trial on 60 volunteers in one of the largest hospitals in India. Caralluma’s lack of toxicity has been confirmed by a leading Ayurvedic academician: It finds use as a famine food and appetite suppressant in drought-hit villages across the sub-continent. Caralluma’s appetite suppressant property is well known to Indian tribe’s people and hunters. Indian folklore also records its use as a potent appetite suppressant and weight-loss herb.
Super Citrimax: You’re probably familiar with CitriMax®, the No. 1 selling hydroxycitric acid (HCA) diet ingredient in the world. In one of the most comprehensive HCA studies ever conducted, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (Washington, DC) and Andhra University (Visakhapatnam, India) have discovered some surprising benefits of our new, more powerful form of CitriMax®, known as Super CitriMax®-benefits that can make this ingredient even more attractive to people trying to lose or maintain weight.
Not only does Super CitriMax® curb appetite, burn fat and result in significant weight loss without side effects, it also promotes healthy blood lipid levels and reduces Body Mass Index, an indicator of healthy body weight. But the most exciting news of all is that Super CitriMax® has been shown to increase levels of serum serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood, sleep and appetite control, which may help address many of the emotional issues overweight people face, including binge-eating and depression.
Advantra Z®: The next generation weight loss herb and fitness ingredient. An extract of a citrus fruit (C. aurantium) containing a family of indirect-acting adrenergic amines that facilitate utilization of energy substrates, stimulate metabolic processes, favor uptake of amino acids into muscle, increase lipolysis (breakdown of fat) and can exert mild hunger-suppressant effects. Advantra Z® is the only patented thermogenic ingredient for weight loss and physical performance on the market today. This proprietary ingredient is the only Citrus aurantium, bitter orange or citrus extract product protected under U.S. Patents for but not limited to:
- Stimulating thermogenesis
- Reducing weight
- Increasing lean muscle mass to total body mass
- Improving athletic performance
- Suppressing appetite
L-Carnitine Fumarate: is an amino acid like nutrient that is found naturally in the body. It plays a major role in the process of burning fat for energy. This nutrient is a great weight loss aid as it can help to increase muscle strength, energy and increase fat burning efficiency. L-Carnitine can also help you achieve more energy, increase immune function, enhance and protect your mental faculties, and lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
7-Keto: The Non-Stimulant Weight Loss Ingredient. Many weight loss ingredients have come and gone over the past 10 years, fading in popularity due lack of results, Federal Trade Commission crackdowns on false claims and concerns over safety and liability. During this time, 7-Keto has steadily and quietly risen to the top as a weight loss ingredient. Why? Because it continues to stand up to the more rigorous scrutiny of today’s Neutraceutical manufacturers and can back up its claims for safe and effective weight loss, which are critical for the longevity of any dietary ingredient.
Gugulipid®: A standardized extract prepared from the oleogum resin (gum resin) of Commiphora mukul, an Indian medicinal tree that has been clinically proven to reduce the levels of harmful serum lipids in the bloodstream. The active ingredients responsible for the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels are the guggulsterones, specifically guggulsterone E and guggulsterone Z.
Forskolin: The breakdown of fat for fuel (lipolysis) is actually regulated by CAMP. Forskolin has been shown not only to enhance lipolysis but to also possibly inhibit fat storage from occurring. This is very good news for individuals trying to lose body fat and get lean. Another way that forskolin may allow for fat loss to occur is by stimulating thyroid hormone production and release. Thyroid hormone controls metabolism and can enhance metabolic rate, which may translate into more fat loss. One of the overlooked benefits of forskolin includes its stimulation of digestive enzymes, which can allow individuals to digest and assimilate their food better. It has been shown to increase nutrient absorption in the small intestine. Forskolin has been shown to be safe and effective and has a great potential for use as a sports supplement.
Bioperine®: A standardized extract from the fruit of Piper nigrum L (black pepper) or Piper longum L (long pepper). It contains 95% of piperine. Bioperine® may be co-administered with various nutrients for both human and animal health. The metabolic process that generates energy at the cellular level in the human body is called thermogenesis. Though thermogenesis has been identified as a key factor in maintaining weight loss, it has also been identified as playing an integral role in utilizing the daily food and nutrients that the human body consumes. It sets in motion the mechanisms that lead to digestion and subsequent gastrointestinal absorption. Piperine, in the patented form of Bioperine® enhances the body’s natural thermogenic activity – hence the term Thermonutrient®.
This enhancement may be explained as a means of increasing the thermal energy sufficient to “power up” the mechanism related to thermogenesis. This in turn results in increased metabolic processes that creates a “demand” for “supply” of a broad range of nutrients that contribute to metabolism, i.e. vitamins, minerals, herbals, amino acids, etc. It’s as if Bioperine® activates a metabolic paddle wheel, of sorts, that selectively provides a more efficient mode of nutrient transportation into the blood.
ChromeMate®: A unique, patented form of biologically active niacin-bound chromium called chromium nicotinate or polynicotinate that dramatically increases the safety and effectiveness of chromium, an essential trace mineral required for normal insulin function.
- What is ChromeMate®? ChromeMate® (generically called chromium nicotinate, chromium polynicotinate or niacin-bound chromium) is a patented oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium complex that plays an important role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production, and promotion of healthy body weight.
- Protected by three U.S. Patents, four international patents and other world-wide patents pending, ChromeMate® is the only niacin-bound chromium supplement with proven biological activity.
- What does ChromeMate® do? Combined with exercise and a sensible diet, ChromeMate® helps: Maintain healthy body weight and promotes normal energy metabolism , Maintain healthy cholesterol levels and promotes cardiovascular health* Promote normal insulin function and maintains healthy blood sugar levels*
