handles fats, giving rise to their scientific nickname of Lipotropic, or
fat burning, nutrients. This powerful nutrient trio triggers your body to
burn off excess fat.
Ginger (root)
- Ginger stimulates the vasomotor and respiratory centers as well as
stimulating blood circulation. Recent studies have concentrated on the
benefits of ginger to the digestion of food.
L-Carnitine (fumarate)
- Naturally synthesized in the liver, Carnitine's primary purpose is to
promote fat metabolism in the muscles. It also converts body fat
into readily available fuel and elevates levels of certain enzymes
needed to metabolize sugars, starches and other carbohydrates. For fat to
be used up as fuel, Carnitine is essential.
L-Methionine
- A lipotropic amino acid which acts as a catalyst for choline and
inositol thus speeding up their function. Methionine, Choline and Inositol
are integrally involved in how the liver handles fats, giving rise to
their scientific nickname of Lipotropic, or fat burning, nutrients. This
powerful nutrient trio triggers your body to burn the excess fat.

toward regaining a healthier body weight.
Siberian Ginseng (root)
- Commonly used by athletes for overall body strengthening, Ginseng
strengthens the adrenal gland, and promotes healthy circulation. It
increases the conversion rate of sugars into the necessary substrates
for the formation of fatty acids in the liver. Siberian Genseng stimulates
the central nervous system and is a quick antidote for fatigue.
Gotu-Kola
- Considered to be one of the best herbal tonics, Gotu Kola works by
cleansing and purifying the blood by neutralizing acids and helping the
body to defend against toxins. Gotu Kola has important anti-fatigue
properties, builds mental stamina and improves memory and longevity.
Fo-Ti (root)
- Assists the body in lowering cholesterol and strengthening muscles.
Has been found to reduce hypertension, reduce blood cholesterol levels
and reduce the chances of coronary heart disease.
Pantothenic Acid
- Pantothenic Acid plays a role in the production of the adrenal hormones
and the formation of antibodies. It also aids in vitamin utilization, and
helps to convert fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into energy. By
preventing Coenzyme A to drop, Pantothenic Acid decreases your
appetite, burns long-chain fatty acids and restores energy.
Peppermint (leaf)
- Peppermint leaf contains a warming oil which aids in increasing oxygen
in the blood and works to clean and strengthen the entire body. It
contains essential oils similar to Fennel that helps with weight reduction
by suppressing your appetite. The primary function of this herb is
appetite loss.
Cayenne Pepper (root)
- Cayenne Pepper root aids digestion, improves circulation, and acts as a
catalyst for other herbs. Studies indicate it has the ability to slow
fat absorption in the small intestines, increase the metabolic rate and
promote the burning of fat in the body.
Manganese (chelated)
- Manganese is needed for protein and fat metabolism, and blood sugar
regulation. It is a key element in the production of enzymes needed to
oxidize fats and to metabolize purines. It also has the ability to
metabolize fats and carbohydrates.
Copper
- Among it's many functions, copper aids in the formation of hemoglobin
and red blood cells, and works in balance with Zinc and Vitamin C to form
elastin, an important protein.
Pyridoxine
- Pyridoxine is involved in more bodily functions than almost any other
single nutrient. It is necessary for the production of Hydrochloric acid
and the absorption of fats and protein.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
- Riboflavin is necessary for red blood cell formation, antibody
production, cell respiration and growth. It aids in the metabolism of
carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Thiamin
- Thiamin enhances circulation and assists in blood formation,
carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid which is
important for proper digestion. It helps in the process of
oxidation of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

cells, and helps in the utilization of iron. This vitamin is also required
for proper digestion, absorption of foods, the synthesis of protein,
and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.
Vitamin A
- Vitamin A acts as an antioxidant, guards against heart disease and
stroke, and lowers cholesterol levels. Protein can not be utilized by
the body without Vitamin A. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it is absorbed via
the upper intestinal tract where the fat splitting enzymes change it into
a useable nutrient.
Vitamin D3
- A fat-soluble vitamin that has properties of both a vitamin and a
hormone, is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and
phosphorus. It protects against muscle weakness and is involved in the
regulation of the heartbeat. Recently, it was found that around half
of the American population is Vitamin D deficient.
