| This
homeopathic medicinal natural weight loss product
is specifically formulated for those individuals who
have a tendency to store fats which have been converted
from excessive carbohydrates.
Växa
CitriSlim is formulated of essential ingredients shown
to inhibit fat production from carbohydrates and reduce
body fat and LDL Cholesterol storage.
One of
these natural ingredients, CitriMax®, comes from
a rare tropical fruit, Garcinia Cambogia, grown in
the remote jungles of Asia. CitriMax® is a safe,
all-natural plant extract rich in a phytochemical
known as (-)hydroxycitric acid or “(-)HCA.”
Here’s
how our natural weight loss product works: When foods
are eaten, carbohydrates are digested and broken down
into glucose, the special blood sugar the body uses
for energy. However, if glucose molecules are not
immediately used for energy, they’re immediately
converted and stored as fat and cholesterol by an
enzyme called ATP-citrate lyase. (-)HCA works by temporarily
inhibiting this enzyme so that dietary carbohydrates
cannot be converted into fat, while also helping to
increase glycogen stores in the muscles and liver
for increased energy.
ChromeMate®
aids in the regulation of insulin, helping blood sugar
to remain stable and slowing down excessive glucose
metabolism and fat-cholesterol storage. Moreover,
studies have conclusively demonstrated that only niacin-bound
chromium, namely patented ChromeMate®, enhances
(-)HCA activity safely unlike any other chromium supplement.
Finally,
DHEA, a naturally-occurring hormone, has been shown
to inhibit G-6-PDH (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase),
an exceptionally important enzyme which is needed
for fatty acid synthesis. When G-6-PDH is inhibited,
the chain reactions necessary for fat synthesis are
frustrated. Laboratory studies with DHEA have demonstrated
that actual fat loss proceeds quickly and safely,
as opposed to simple weight loss where lean muscle
tissue is dangerously broken down. In animal studies,
a 50% reduction in excess fat occurred, even in genetically
obese populations. And more recently at UCSD Medical
School, DHEA was noted to reduce fat buildup in the
body as well as to yield other intriguing anti-aging
activities.
As a natural
weight loss product, Växa CitriSlim also helps
to activate brown adipose tissue (brown fat) to burn
white storage fat. Each cell in the body must actively
maintain certain ratios of sodium and potassium in
order to remain alive and healthy. This balance is
performed by a biochemical process called the Sodium(Na)-Potassium(K)
“Pump.” The Na-K-Pump is an essential
biochemical pathway which literally “pumps”
sodium and potassium in and out of each and every
cell of the body 24 hours per day, maintaining important
intercellular integrity and chemical homeostasis.
The “Pump” is so important that it demands
between 20-50% of total caloric energy supplied daily.
But when this biochemical “Pump” is not
working correctly, a lot can go wrong, including a
drastic decrease in the amount of caloric energy used
by the body, causing white fat to be stored and not
burned.
The regulation
of this “Pump” (through the enzyme called
Na-K-ATPase) is only activated if the body can make
enough prostaglandins (hormone-like substances which
cannot be stored and are involved with every process
in the body) through a critical intermediary Essential
Fatty Acid (EFA) called GLA (g-linolenic acid: a naturally
occurring unsaturated cis-fatty acid). If there is
not enough GLA-prostaglandin production going on in
the body, or if something else has interfered with
its production, then the “Pump” just won’t
work. And when the “Pump” doesn’t
work, we end up storing more body fat and putting
on more weight while burning less calories.
Alarmingly,
studies show that GLA-prostaglandin production is
inhibited by the average daily consumption of all
margarines, peanut butters, salad dressings, oils,
and even fried foods. Indeed, these saturated and
hydrogenated fats and oils detrimentally contain specific
trans-fatty acids which directly shut down GLA-prostaglandin
production, and stall the function of Na-K-ATPase
and the “Pump.” The bottom line is that
when the Na-K-Pump is not working correctly, our thermogenic
response to foods decreases and we’ll put on
unwanted weight whether we diet or not. In fact, scientific
research has demonstrated that the genetically obese
have lower levels of GLA than normal, and faulty Na-K-Pumps
as well. Thus, they burn a lot less fat as fuel for
energy, producing 50% less heat from their meals than
the rest of us.
The good
news: Clinical studies have shown that correct GLA
supplementation (as provided in the natural weight
loss product Växa CitriSlim) actually circumvents
the negative effects of the particular “bad”
dietary trans-fatty acids, allowing essential prostaglandin
production and function, while increasing the thermogenic
response to foods and turning the “Pump”
back on. Moreover, other studies have shown that GLA
supplementation effectively reduces body fat content,
safely facilitates fatty acid beta-oxidation in the
liver, exerts anti-atherosclerotic effects, and naturally
lowers serum triglycerides and cholesterols as well.
There are
a number of nutritional precursors which enable the
body to promote ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production,
the energy transfer molecule of the body. These precursors
help the body to ensure that fats and carbohydrates
are burned quickly and efficiently. Without these
essential precursors and cofactors, ATP production
stalls, tiredness is felt, and storage of fat commences
and is often accelerated.
Specifically,
the ATP precursors Alpha Ketogluterate and Creatine
Monophosphate are directly necessary for ATP function.
CoQ-10 is also involved in the biochemical pathway
from which ATP and metabolic energy are derived; interestingly,
the genetically obese have 52% less CoQ-10 than the
rest of us. When all ATP precursors and biochemical
parties are present, energy is freely supplied to
the body, increasing the thermogenic response to meals,
burning calories rather than storing them, and reducing
hunger and appetite.
Please
Note: If you are pregnant or nursing, taking any drug
for a cardiovascular disorder, Diabetes, Depression,
High Blood Pressure, or any other prescriptive drug,
consult your physician before beginning this or any
other weight loss program.
Since
(-)HCA is a potent inhibitor of cholesterol formation,
it may affect the natural production of sterol-based
hormones which affect growth and body development.
Therefore, some experts feel that extensive and extended
long-term use of (-)HCA (like taking it every day
before every meal in large amounts/6 caps per day)
should be avoided by pregnant and lactating women
and young children. Accordingly, Växa recommends
that smaller proportions of (-)HCA/ Växa CitriSlim®,
should be used, at most, on an every-other-day basis
for pregnant and lactating women and young children.
Everyone else can use as much (-)HCA/ Växa CitriSlim®
as they want. |
