Appetite Suppressants and antioxidants in the proprietary blend:
Garcinia Cambogia is a small fruit that resembles a miniature pumpkin. It is indigenous to India and parts of Asia , and an extract from its fruit and rind is popular in many natural weight loss products. The extract is hydroxycitric acid (HCA), claimed to suppress appetite and enhance fat-burning. Animal research supports these claims, but subsequent human trials have been equivocal.
The theory behind garcinia cambogia is that HCA inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that helps turns excess carbohydrates into fat. By inhibiting this enzyme, it is believed the body instead boosts carbohydrate oxidation, or simply put, burns the extra carbs. In extensive animal studies, garcinia cambogia was found to reduce food intake by suppressing appetite, as well as to decrease body fat .
L Taurine is a specialized amino acid which is an ion and pH buffer in the heart, skeletal muscles and central nervous system. Taurine is also a potent antioxidant and antitoxin, and in these roles is particularly important to the liver and immune system. Taurine is also a "semi-essential" nutrient.
Hoodia Gordonii was founded thousands of years ago. Bushmen of Southern Africa (also called "the San") have hunted, lived off the land and traveled across the Kalahari Desert for over 100,000 years. The Bushmen frequently go out on long hunting trips and chew on a local plant to reduce hunger and increase energy. The plant of course is Hoodia. Incredibly, by chewing on Hoodia, the San have been able to go days without eating and still remain strong and energetic.
Hoodia is a bitter-tasting cactus-like plant. The full name is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a Succulent botanical which resembles a "cactus". For this reason, hoodia is often mistaken called the "African hoodia cactus". If you must know all the technical data it is Genus: Trichocaulon and Family Name: Asclepiadaceae. Full grown Hoodia plants can grow over 6 feet tall. So, for thousands of years the Bushmen have been eating Hoodia Gordonii to decrease appetite and increase energy. While the Bushmen knew all about the powers of Hoodia, it was not until the mid 60's that the first research was done on Hoodia as an appetite suppressant. Even then, it took another 30 years for South African laboratories to isolate the specific appetite suppressing ingredient in Hoodia. This ingredient was called P57 (or p-57) and licensed to a British pharmaceutical company.
EGCG is considered to be the most powerful antioxidant of all the catechins. Studies suggest Catechins protect our cells from the harmful effects free radicals by cutting off the oxygen source free radicals need to survive and multiply. Free radicals are associated with the development of diseases such as cancer, advanced aging and heart disease. In addition, EGCG may help with weight loss and fat burning by stimulating thermo genesis a process where your body releases heat through a chemical reaction within your cells. This burning of fat cells also results in more energy and improved endurance.
Green Coffee Bean Extract is a new ingredient on the market. Green coffee bean has strong anti-oxidant properties similar to other natural anti-oxidants like green tea and grape seed extract. Green coffee beans have polyphenols which act to help reduce free oxygen radicals in the body. Green coffee bean extract is sometimes standardized to more than 50% chlorogenic Acid. Chlorogenic Acid is the compound present in coffee which has been long known as for its beneficial properties. This active ingredient makes green coffee bean an excellent agent to absorb free oxygen radicals; as well as helping to avert hydroxyl radicals, both which contribute to degradation of cells in the body. Green coffee bean extract is made from the green beans of the coffee Arabica plant.
Blueberry Extract is a source of several potent antioxidants, particularly Anthocyanin and related compounds. Clinical studies have shown that Anthocyanin neutralizes free radicals which are specific to age-related mental clarity and memory capacity. This particular family of antioxidants has also been proven effective in fighting the free radicals responsible for macular degeneration and other age-related eye disorders. In fact, a 2001 study at Tufts University rated Blueberries as the most potent antioxidant of over 60 foods tested (Tufts University. Researching a Blueberry/Brain Power Connection.
Pomegranate Extract is primarily composed of alkaloids and polyphenols. The active constituent that appears to be responsible for its multiple health benefits is Ellagic acid. Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in several fruits and nuts. Pomegranate extract has demonstrated a variety of beneficial functions including antioxidant and anti-viral activity. In 1996, a Nottingham, PA University research team learned that pomegranate extract could destroy several viruses nearly on contact. The discovery of this anti-viral activity instigated further experimentation and clinical trials. One study confirmed that Ellagic acid effectively protects cells from damaging free radicals. Additional phenolic compounds found in pomegranate known as anthocynadins (also well known scavengers of free radicals) combine synergistically with Ellagic acid to greatly augment pomegranate's potency as an antioxidant.
