Hoodia Gordonii Plus
(Natural Appetite Suppressant)
Hoodia Gordonii Plus Ingredients:
Magnesium
The Office of Dietary Supplements states that: “Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is vitally important to good health”. Found naturally in greens, legumes, seeds and nuts and whole unrefined grains. ‘Hard’ water also happens to be a good source but ‘Soft’ water doesn’t because it contains much less minerals.
The body uses magnesium for more than 300 biochemical reactions like normal nerve and muscle function, a steady heart rhythm, strong bones and a healthy immune system.
People who take antibiotics, diuretics and certain other medications for cancer will experience magnesium deficiency. Low levels of magnesium in the blood occurs in about half of all alcoholics and also in about 90% of patients experiencing alcohol withdrawal. The elderly (who are more likely to be taking drugs and medicines) should be especially aware of their need for magnesium.
Garcinia Cambogia Extract
This is basically an extract from the rind and fruit of a particular tree that is found growing in evergreen forests of Thailand and India. The active component of the fruit is Hydroxy Citric Acid, which is similar to the acid in citrus fruits
In the late sixties, research uncovered that this fruit has positive effect on the energy conversions taking place inside the body. This led to a detailed scientific case study by one of the world’s major pharmaceutical companies, Hoffman La Rouche. They came to the conclusion that the active component found in Garcinia Cambogia was H.C.A. This H.C.A helps in increasing the bodies capability to store glycogen in the muscles and liver. We should point out that some feelings of hunger are controlled by the glycogen levels in the liver.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea has been consumed on the Asian continent for thousands of years. It is a very popular beverage which holds many benefits for the body. As a known antioxidant, it helps rid the body of toxins. It does not affect heart rate, and is in fact, considered quite a soothing drink.
Green tea is capable of increasing energy levels naturally. Quite a few people associated this increase with the caffeine present, but further research has shown this to be untrue.
In an article by Mary J. Shomon written for About.com, she quoted the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition as saying, “it was found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure…, plus also had a significant effect on fat oxidation.”
Other ingredients
Hoodia Gordonii Plus is free from peanuts, wheat, dairy products and shellfish, which are known allergens for quite a few people.
