Chitosan
-
Sometimes referred to as a
"fat magnet",
Chitosan is derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the
exoskeleton of shellfish such as shrimp, lobster, and crab. Chitosan
causes weight
loss by binding with fats in the stomach, thereby preventing them from
being digested and stored in the body.
Psyllium (Husk) -
Composed mostly of
hemicellulose, Psyllium
acts as a sponge in the
intestinal tract, swelling as it absorbs water and waste material in
the bowels.
This forms a soft, bulky mass that passes through the colon more
quickly (preventing potentially toxins from remaining in the colon)
and evacuates more smoothly and easily.
Malic Acid -
Malic acid is critical for both aerobic and anaerobic energy
production. Normally, in hypoxic states (times when the body is
starved of oxygen, as one experiences during exhaustive exercise)
glycolysis (the breakdown of sugar for energy) is inhibited. Malic
acid breaks this
bottleneck and allows energy production, facilitating enhanced
endurance.
Lipase (Vegetarian) -
This powerful amino acid catalyzes the hydrolysis (breakdown) of
emulsified esters of glycerol and long chain fatty acids.
Aloe Vera Leaf (Concentrate 1:200) -
Aloe Vera is
excellent
for absorbing toxins, as well as promoting growth of friendly "good"
colon bacteria,
necessary for good health. Aloe is a staple ingredient in many colon
cleansing products.
