CAYENNE

Cayenne has been shown to improve the absorption of the other ingredients.

Cayenne also stimulates the production of ATP (fuel) thus increasing thermogenesis and stimulating the BAT cells so as to permit more calories to be burned.

CHITOSAN CHITIN

Main element of crabs shrimps and lobsters which shows excellent physiological activation function such as antibacterial property and colesterol reduction function.

Chitosan inhibits fat digestion fat inhibitor, chitosan is biodegradable and biocompatible traps fat.

Chitosan has better lipid absorbing than some prescription cholesterol-fighting drugs chitosan absorbs 4-6 times its own weight of lipids, in foods and blood fats lowers cholesterol and triglycerides safely.

CHROMIUM

Chromium enriched yeast helps to normalize blood sugar, potentiating the action of insulin (Glucose Tolerance Factor) and plays an important role in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates.

Chromium is an essential nutrient required for normal carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Insufficient dietary intake of chromium leads to signs and symptoms that are similar to those observed in diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Dietary intake of chromium in the U.S and most industrialized countries is suboptimal due to the extensive processing of our foods. The estimated and safe daily intake for chromium is 50 to 200 micrograms. Most diets, however, contain less than 60% of the minimum suggested intake. Supplemental chromium given to people with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes leads to improved blood glucose, insulin, and lipid variables.

Strenuous exercise, high sugar diets and physical trauma result in high chromium losses and increase the need for chromium supplements. Chromium has been also shown to improve lean body mass in humans and certain animals.

Response to chromium is dependent upon the form and the amount of supplemental chromium. DWL-500 is an excellent source of biologically active chromium.

No documented signs of chromium toxicity have been reported in the many chromium supplementation studies over the past three decades.

Green Tea Extract: The next big boost to weight loss

In addition to its potential cardioprotective action, green tea extract may serve as an aid to weight loss: In clinical trials it appears to raise metabolic rates and speed up fat oxidation. Dulloo and colleagues at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, demonstrated that in addition to caffeine, green tea contains catechin polyphenols that raise thermogenesis (the rate at which calories are being burned) and overall  energy expenditure. This metabolism-boosting effect seems to be independent of the supplemental caffeine the study's subjects consumed.

None of the ten healthy young male subjects were obese, ranging from lean to mildly overweight, and none of them was dieting during the study. A typical American non-weight-loss diet averaging 40% fat was prescribed during the course of research, and subjects were randomly assigned to each of three meals containing one of three treatments: Green tea extract containing 50 mg of caffeine; 50 mg capsule of caffeine by itself; or a placebo capsule. On three separate occasions each subject spent 24 hours in a specially designed respiratory chamber in which thermogenesis and energy expenditure were carefully measured. When gauged by these relatively sedentary circumstances the subjects' thermogenesis showed a 4% increase, and overall energy expenditure increased by 4.5%.

SEA KELP LAMIARIA

Contains more than 40 minerals and elements in a highly digestible chelated form and is also used for weight loss and thyroid problems due to its natural iodine content.   

ZINC

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS ON ZINC ENRICHED YEAST

As the use of nutritional supplements increase, there is a growing consumer demand for more sophisticated information on the products they are consuming. Some of the questions on Zinc Yeast concern the importance of zinc in the diet, the bio-availability of organic Zinc Yeast versus inorganic sources and toxicity issues. Zinc enriched yeast is the natural convenient, safe and economical way to increase zinc intake

IMPORTANCE OF ZINC YEAST IN HUMAN DIET

There is considerable evidence that zinc deficiency in humans is a serious worldwide problem as a result of soil losses and losses infood processing, this deficiency or depletion can produce a variety of symptoms. Zinc is involved in a multitude of human body functions and is part of many enzyme systems. Zinc is important in normal growth and development, the maintenance of body tissues, sexual function, the immune system, and detoxification of chemicals and metabolic irritants.

Essential part of more than 200 enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism

With regards to metabolism, zinc is part of alcohol dehydrogenase, which helps the liver detoxify alcohols, including ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol and retinol (Vitamin A). Zinc is needed for lactate and malate dehydrogenase, both important in energy production. Zinc in carboxypeptidase (a digestive enzyme) helps in protein digestion.
