Herbalean
weight loss diet energy product.
Herbalean has Mahuang,
and its various herbal cousins, functions as a sympathomimetic, meaning
that it mimics some of the effects of the body’s own sympathetic
(stimulant) hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine
(either by increasing the levels of these hormones or by reducing their
breakdown). Mahuang is a “non-selective” sympathomimetic,
which means that it acts as a general stimulant on many parts of the
body simultaneously (lungs, heart, blood vessels, adrenal glands, etc.).
It is most often used as a central nervous system stimulant (for alertness
or energy), as a decongestant (for asthma/breathing aid) and as an appetite
suppressant in a wide variety of weight loss and “thermogenic”
type products.
· Increased
alertness 
· Speeds up metabolism
· Aids weight loss
· Enhanced athletic performance
· Mental sharpness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean
has Paullinia sorbilis
comes from the seeds of a South American shrub, most of which originates
in Brazil. Traditional uses of paullinia sorbilis by natives of the
Amazonian rain forest include crushed seeds added to foods and beverages
to increase alertness and reduce fatigue
· Increases energy levels / Reduces fatigue
· Enhances physical and mental performance
· Promotes weight loss
· Suppresses appetite
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean
has Lotus Leaf
helps to suppress appetite and promote lipolysis (the process of breaking
down fat into free fatty acids and glycerol). Lipolysis must take place
before fat can be burned.
· Suppresses appetite
· Enhances immune system
· Promotes weight loss
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Hoodia
Gordonii,
is the botanical name for a cactus like plant that grows in Southern
Africa. The chemical constituents in Hoodia, P57, work within the satiety
center by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose, but are
up to 100,000 times more powerful. The hypothalamus receives this signal
as an indication that enough food has been consumed and this in turn
stunts the appetite.
· Enhances physical and mental performance
· Promotes weight loss
· Suppresses appetite
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herablean has Garcinia
Cambogia
is a natural form of Hydroxcitric acid (HCA) which can inhibit an enzyme
in cells, citrate lyase, which is needed for the conversion of carbohydrates
into fat. In the cell, carbohydrates are broken down into citrate compounds,
which are then converted (by citrate lyase) into another compound; acetyl
coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) – the metabolic building block for fat
synthesis. Garcinia can inhibit fat production and suppress appetite.
· Promotes weight loss
· Suppresses appetite
· Reduces blood lipids
· Increases fat oxidation/mobilization
· Promotes glycogen synthesis
· Increases energy levels
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has White
willow bark
is a source of salicin and other salicylates – compounds which
are similar in structure to aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid). Native
Americans are thought to have used ground willow bark and bark steeped
for tea as a medicinal remedy for everything from pain relief to fevers.
White willow is thought to extend or increase the activity of several
thermogenic ingredients in elevating energy expenditure and promoting
fat metabolism.
· Pain reliever (headaches, arthritis, minor injuries)
· Fever reducer
· Anti-inflammatory
· Enhances weight loss (only in combination with other ingredients)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Citrus
bigardia
in traditional Chinese medicine is used to help stimulate the Qi (energy
force). Through its stimulation of specific adrenergic receptors (beta-3,
but not beta-1, beta-2 or alpha-1), citrus bigardiai is theorized to
stimulate fat metabolism (which stimulates all beta-adrenergic receptors).
· Increases metabolic rate
· Increases caloric expenditure
· Fat burner
· Promotes weight loss
· Increases energy levels
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Konjac
has the ability to absorb up to 200 times its weight in water. It can
bind with a variety of substances in the digestive tract to slow digestion,
relieve constipation and reduce the absorption of fat and carbohydrates.
As such, Konjac is often used in products intended to reduce blood cholesterol
and triglyceride levels as well as blood sugar.
· Lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels
· Reduces fat absorption
· Promotes blood sugar control
· Promotes feeling of fullness (satiety)
· Promotes weight loss
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Bearberry
leaves contain compounds that have antibacterial and diuretic properties.
These compounds are absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract, transported
to the kidneys via the blood and excreted from the body via the urine.
If the urine is alkaline (pH 8) these compounds are active, antibacterial
agents. It is theorized that these compounds also act as mild diuretics
and result in an increase in urine output.
· Urinary antiseptic (antibacterial effect in the urine)
· Diuretic (increases urine output)
· Treatment of cystitis (Inflammation of the bladder, typically
following a urinary tract infection)
· Treatment of pyelonephrititis (inflammation of the kidney)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Eleutherococcus
senticosus
is termed an adaptogen. An adaptogen is defined as a therapeutic and
restorative tonic generally considered to produce a “balancing”
effect on the body. In general, an adaptogen can be thought of as a
substance that helps the body to deal with stress. Its action in the
body is due to its stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to
secrete adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH has the ability to
bind directly to brain cells and can affect a variety of behaviors in
the body. These behaviors might include motivation, vitality, performance
and arousal.
· Relieves stress
· Enhances athletic performance
· Tonic for well-being
· Immune enhancer
· Stimulant
· Hypoglycemic (reduces blood sugar)
· Improves cognitive function
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Bee
Pollen
is used as a natural "energy food" – probably due to
the combination of small amounts of various vitamins and minerals involved
in energy metabolism.
· Increased energy
· Prolonged endurance
· Promotes weight loss
· Immune system stimulation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Green
tea
contains catechins, which are known to possess potent antioxidant activity,
they may provide beneficial health effects by protecting the body from
the damaging effects of oxidative damage from free radicals. The powerful
antioxidant activity about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C
and E. A number of chronic disease states have been associated with
free radical induced oxidative damage, including cancer, heart disease,
suppressed immune function and accelerated aging.
· Anti-atherogenic / Reduces cholesterol & triglycerides
· Reduces blood clotting
· Enhances immune function
· Enhances weight loss
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Piper
Longum
is often recommended as a "thermogenic" compound for increasing
metabolic rate – an effect that may be related to its ability to
dilate blood vessels and cause a local sensation of "warming."
It has also been used for stimulating circulation, aiding digestion,
and relieving pain.
· Digestive aid (stimulates gastric secretions)
· Arthritis pain reliever
· Raises metabolic rate
· Reduces allergic symptoms
· Prevents migraine headaches
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has Pyruvate
is a "salt" form of pyruvic acid - a 3-carbon molecule derived
from the breakdown of glucose. In the body, glucose (6 carbons) is split
into 2 pyruvic acid molecules (3 carbons each) in the end stages of
cellular glycolysis. When enough oxygen is present, pyruvic acid can
be converted into acetyl CoA in the mitochondrion of the cell to produce
energy. Because glucose (the chief sugar used by cells for energy) is
broken down body into pyruvic acid, an increased level of pyruvic acid
in the body can enhance a cell’s ability to generate energy.
· Enhances weight loss and reduces weight regain
· Decreases appetite
· Elevated energy levels
· Increased endurance levels
· Increases muscle glycogen
· Reduces fatigue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Herbalean has 77
Trace Minerals
plant derived minerals play an important role in providing the essential
minerals our bodies are missing from poor eating habits and depleted
foods. Minerals initiate, regulate and control every organ and function
in our bodies. Minerals are the catalysts that support enzyme function,
protein digestion, metabolism, cellular electrolyte impulses, and billions
of chemical reactions that keeps the body functioning properly.
