Highly Recommended:
ChromeMate:
A
reliable and safe form of chromium. This patented, niacin bound form of chromium
has been shown to have high biological activity that efficiently supports blood
sugar and lipid metabolism. 200 mcg of elemental chromium. Take 1 tablet daily
with food.
TheraSlim:
Natural starch-neutralizing agent. Avoiding starchy foods is very difficult for
many patients and avoiding them all together also means that an important
nutritional component of a healthy diet including fiber, B-vitamins, and trace
elements may be missing. With this supplementation, eating some simple sugars
and carbohydrates are no longer detrimental. TheraSlim™ contains Phase 2, an all
natural product derived from the white kidney bean that "neutralizes" the
digestive enzyme alpha amylase BEFORE it can convert starch into glucose, thus
reducing subsequent conversion to fat. It is the only product that has been
clinically proven and scientifically shown to neutralize starch from bread,
pasta, rice, potatoes and other complex carbohydrates, allowing a portion of the
carbohydrate calories to pass harmlessly through the digestive system
unabsorbed. Two capsules taken with each meal allow patients to enjoy complex
carbohydrates as part of a balanced diet. When added to a healthy eating plan
and exercise program, gradual, healthy and sustained weight loss can be
achieved. Take 2 capsules before each meal.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA):
Potent
cell protectant and body fat regulator. Conjugated linoleic acid, a
naturally-occurring derivative of linoleic acid, is an omega-6 fatty acid with
unique physiological effects on fat metabolism and the immune system. These
effects are quite different from those of linoleic acid and in fact may provide
a natural counter-balance to the potentially harmful actions of too much
linoleic acid. CLA exerts antioxidant-like activity that helps keep excessive
cell proliferation in check. It also impacts fat metabolism in several ways,
including a favorable effect on the way the body burns and stores fat.
ProThera's Conjugated Linoleic Acid utilizes CLA One® derived from safflower oil
and contains 75% total CLA with a minimum concentration of 70% biologically
active isomers most commonly associated with physiological effect. Vitamin E
added to the softgel capsule helps maintain freshness by protecting the lipid
components from oxidation. Take 1 to 3 softgels daily with food.
Grape Extract:
Flavonoids and other compounds in whole grape act as potent scavengers of free
radicals involved in inflammatory processes. They also support the elasticity
and integrity of collagen in joints, capillaries, blood vessels, and skin
tissue. The complete biological and antioxidant activity of red grapes is
retained in this whole grape extract. The seeds, fruit, skin, and stem are
included to yield a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC),
procyanidin dimers, resveratrol, and other active components that occur
naturally in Spanish red grapes. Each scored tablet supplies 50 mg of
concentrated grape extract. Take 1 to 4 tablets daily.
Also Suggested:
Alpha Lipoic Acid:
A highly
versatile nutrient and antioxidant. This broad-acting water- and lipid-soluble
antioxidant uniquely provides intra- and extracellular protection throughout the
body. It also helps regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamins C, E and
glutathione. And, as a coenzyme for energy production, alpha-lipoic acid helps
transport blood glucose into the cell, thus promoting normal blood sugar
balance. Internal production of alpha-lipoic acid may be insufficient in those
with diabetes, liver conditions, and high exposure to toxins. Each tablet is
scored for convenience in adjusting the amount taken. Take 1 tablet daily
with food.
