| After several years of reviewing the most effective dietary ingredients for diet support, Chinese Herbs Direct has introduced our own Advanced Formula Diet Support product. This unique, vegetarian formula supports optimal weight management by combining the most effective herbal metabolism ingredients available from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Western herbal formulas. Advanced Formula Diet Support includes the following ingredients in our own proprietary formulation: ForsLean - a patented ingredient derived from the herb Coleus forskolin that has been clinically shown to support healthy body composition when used in conjunction with healthy diet and exercise regimens. Super CitrimaxTM - Hydroxycitric acid (HCA), the key component of Super Citrimax, is a relative of citric acid, a fruit acid that accounts for the tartness in lemons. HCA is naturally found in high amounts in the Malabar tamarind (Garcinia cambogia) fruit. Studies continue to amass on the role it plays in fat burning even with short-term use. It is believed that by inhibiting a particular enzyme, HCA moves the metabolism of excess carbohydrates away from inevitable fat storage. HCA may also support healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well, since this enzyme also functions in these arenas. The body's stores of glycogen, an appetite-controlling carbohydrate is increased, a fact that interests exercise enthusiasts due to glycogen's positive role in energy and endurance. We know appetite is also partly controlled by a brain chemical called serotonin. Medical science is very interested in the role serotonin plays in sleep and mood as well. Studies suggest HCA may help the body support adequate serotonin levels, but naturally and without side effects. For safety, we use the heavily researched and clinically proven Super CitrimaxTM form. Balanced with calcium and potassium and HPLC tested for purity. L-Carnitine - The nutrient l-Carnitine is the carrier that fats need to ride in order to enter the fat burning furnaces of our cells. Afterwards, the toxic byproducts are removed via l-Carnitine. This makes l-Carnitine deficiencies of critical import not only in fat metabolism but also for organs and tissues that rely on fats for their proper functioning. The heart derives two thirds of its energy from fats. Therefore, many medical professionals welcome l-Carnitine's cardiovascular support potential. Advanced Formula Diet Support contains a substantial amount of l-Carnitine to ensure the smooth functioning of these fat burning furnaces. Chinese Herbs Direct uses L-CARNIPURE, the finest l-Carnitine available. It is supplied by Lonza of Switzerland, and is guaranteed to be free of the counterproductive impurities found in other brands. Green Tea Extract - Green tea naturally contains protective antioxidants. Other companies add green tea to their diet support products for its naturally occurring caffeine content, which can provide changes in energy and metabolism. But research suggests it may be the antioxidants rather than the caffeine that are the critical components in green tea's fat burning effect. Our green tea is standardized to contain a minimum of 60% of these important polyphenol antioxidants, and greater than 30% active catechin components. Tested for microbiological and heavy metal impurities this extract is guaranteed to be pesticide free. Chromium and accessory nutrients - As every Low Carb dieter knows, the management of blood sugar levels plays an invaluable role in weight loss. Lifestyle factors including poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and stress can cause undesirable fluctuations in blood sugar and can even lead to a condition called insulin resistance syndrome. This is a condition where insulin's role in blood sugar control becomes hampered, possibly contributing to sleep disturbances, obesity, and other problems. Chromium is an important factor in insulin function and interest is building for its potential value in supporting healthy blood sugar levels and weight management. Vitamin B-6 and Uva Ursi - These two ingredients help to support healthy water balance. Iodine - Iodine is included to support the production of thyroid hormone, which is important for body health during any diet program. Chinese Herbs Direct's Advanced Formula Diet Support includes a combination of unique ingredients that together provide a safe and effective nutritional supplement to aid in any diet or weight loss program.
