Looking for something that tastes sweet and contains no calories or carbohydrates? You can find it in stevia. Stevia is an extract of the South American shrub Stevia rebaudiana. Stevia contains molecular compounds that taste extremely sweet. In fact, it is estimated to be 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. Each 1/4 Teaspoon Contains: Stevia, standardized extract, and FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) Suggested Usage: Adults mix 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon with 8 ounces of water, juice, tea or other beverages, daily to increase good bacteria and inhibit yeast overgrowth. 4 oz | | Excess carbohydrates can lead to weight gain. Yet avoiding starchy foods like breads and pasta can be difficult. Slim-N-Trim uses a patented form of white kidney bean extract to block 60% of the calories associated with carbohydrates. Now you can be a little more liberal with your carbohydrate intake. Two capsules taken with each carbohydrate meal. Phase 2 white kidney bean extract 1,000mg Now contains 120 Capsules | | CLA is a naturally-occurring derivative of linoleic acid (omega 6 fatty acid) with unique physiological effects on fat metabolism and the immune system. CLA helps burn fat and build muscle. CLA helps block a substance in your body called lipoprotein lipase that helps store fat in your body. CLA helps your body burn fat for energy. CLA increases lean muscle tissue, which naturally slims your body. The more muscle mass you have the more calories your body uses day in and day out. As a result, you start to lose inches. Dietary CLA has been shown to effect body composition by creating a reduction in body fat and an enhancement of lean muscle. According to Michael Pariza at the University of Wisconsin, this area of CLA research is the most supported. Recently, the research has focused on clinical studies with much success; showing statistically significant reduction in body fat as measured by bmi (body mass index). A significant decrease measured in waistline measured in inches, a positive result for weight loss in mildly overweight subjects and an increase in strength. Human clinical studies to substantiate improved body composition have been conducted worldwide. Positive results of CLA supplementation have been seen at research centers worldwide, including Kent State University, and University of Memphis. CLA appears to exert direct effects on adipocytes (fat cells), which are the principle sites of fat storage and skeletal muscle cells and are the primary sites of fat combustion. It has been proposed that the physiologic mechanism of body fat reduction by CLA involves inhibition of fat storage in adipocytes coupled with elevated b-oxidation in skeletal muscle. An overall increase in skeletal muscle tissue may be mediated at least in part via the inhibition of immune-induced catabolism. CLA is a metabolically active compound that has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce body fat and increase lean body tissue. |
