Weight Loss Support w/Hoodia

In the quest to find a source for losing weight and fighting obesity, scientists have been looking for help anywhere they can to find it. It appears they may have found something from the ocean that may be a big help. Natural Product Insider points to seaweed or Kelp extract as a supplement ingredient that helps with fat loss, and it is supported by Japanese scientists. Sea Kelp contains amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals and it is a rich source of iron and iodine, which may help with weight loss. If you are deficient in iodine and producing insufficient thyroid hormones to regulate your metabolism, then using Kelp tincture will increase your hormone production and affect your metabolic rate. This automatically leads to weight loss even if you change nothing else in your life. Kelp's vitamin and mineral content can improve modern diets that are deficient. Kelp may restore normal levels of these, which in turn helps to improve digestion and normalizes fluid balance.

 Hoodia Gordonii 

Alfalfa leaf is rich in nutrients, especially trace minerals from the soil. In fact, it is considered to be one of the most nutritious plants on the planet. Food cravings can be associated with nutrient deficiencies, and lead to sweet cravings and overeating. Rich in phosphorus, zinc, silicon, calcium, and potassium. It is also a good source of vitamins, A, C, E, vitamin K and B vitamins. Alfalfa is rich in amino acids and has been shown to lower cholesterol and stop the growth of arterial plaque, fight cancer, and support women's health. Alfalfa leaf extract has been used in traditional medicine as a supplemental treatment for diabetes. It has been found that the liquid tincture of Alfalfa leaves can help regulate clot formation as well, as it contains a significant concentration of vitamin K. It also contains significant amounts of chlorophyll which is a natural remedy for bad breath. Alfalfa can also be used to alleviate various acute and chronic inflammatory symptoms associated with degeneration and aging. As a mild diuretic, it can facilitate the elimination of water, flushing the excess sodium from your system. Alfalfa is might be very beneficial for alleviating edema by ridding the body of excess fluid caused by the disease.

Bladderwrack may help to curb your appetite and attain your weight management goals with less associated risk than fad diets and dangerous supplements. This is supported by Dr. Andrew Weil, who further explains that it is the substance fucoxanthin, which is higher in brown seaweed than the green and red type of seafood. It stimulates a protein in the body that can increase fat burning significantly. Dr. Weil even goes one step further, acknowledging that this protein can decrease unhealthy abdominal fat. Additionally, Bladderwrack extracts contain algin, a substance which can have a laxative effect that may also aid in weight loss. It is also very high in iodine, which helps to regulate the thyroid gland, which can wreak havoc on your weight if it is not functioning properly. Bladderwrack tincture may also help to suppress the hunger cravings of the body, thereby leading to lesser calorie consumption and weight loss.

Cleaver is an alterative herb, one which has a cleansing and nourishing effect on the blood, as well as a diuretic effect, and is considered by many to be one of the best lymphatic tonics available. The lymphatic system is a complex network of fluid-filled nodes, vessels, ducts and glands that bathe our cells and carry waste material away from the tissues to neutralize it. It handles toxins that enter the body externally from sources such as foods or air pollution, as well as internally produced toxins, endotoxins, that are the result of normal metabolic processes in the body. If the lymph system becomes overburdened and sluggish it can cause glandular aches and pains, and lead to fatty deposits and cellulite. Cleavers leaf extract helps to get the system flowing smoothly again by cleansing and improving the capacity to deal with these toxins, and by decreasing congestion and inflammation in the tissues. It can also help with urinary tract infections, skin conditions, and ulcers, probably as a result of improved lymphatic drainage. 

Dandelion root tincture is included in the formula to help improve digestion, treating upset stomach and heartburn. Dandelion root contains vitamins A, C, D and B complex. These are potent antioxidants that aid in the cleansing of the body of free radicals and supports a healthy cardiovascular system. Dandelion is also rich in iron, potassium, and zinc. The iron content has led to its widespread use as a liver tonic. Dandelion increases the flow of bile, which aids in the digestion of fats. It is also a powerful diuretic and may be used to remove weight resulting from water retention. The extract of Dandelion root may help to quell your cravings for sweets, in addition to flushing out the kidneys and boosting your metabolism. It has a light laxative effect on the bowels and may aid in cleansing the body of toxins. Traditionally, it has been used to treat kidney disease, skin irritations, and fever. And it has been co-opted into the herbal weight loss industry lately for its ability to help you shed pounds quickly with when the body is retaining water, making you feel and look thinner.

Licorice root, also known as "sweet root" is known for its soothing and strengthening properties for the body. It also regulates blood sugar levels and reduces your cravings for sweets. Licorice root tincture is a traditional herbal remedy for many health disorders including stomach ulcers, throat, and respiratory problems. Some research supports the use of Licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, for weight loss and fat reduction. The "Journal of Endocrinological Investigation" published a small study in 2003 and found that Licorice root was related to reduced body fat mass. And another study in obesity research found levels of LDL cholesterol were also reduced as well as by applying the tincture in an oil or lotion topically to thighs reduces the thickness of fat.

Garcinia cambogia extract has been marketed as a weight-loss aid, as it is useful for helping to block fat production in your body while reducing the appetite. Citrin is better known as hydroxycitric acid or HCA. This is a modified form of citric acid. In theory, it works by blocking an enzyme in the body called ATP citrate lyase, which is responsible for allowing carbohydrates to be stored as fat. This action is supposed to be a decreased appetite. Studies have shown that it may lead to significant weight loss by blocking the enzyme in your body that trigger fat storage, reducing fat deposits. HCA may increase the serotonin levels as well, which can suppress the appetite and stimulate your body's use of fat stores for energy during extended periods of exercise. This supplement is most effective when combined with a low-fat, low-calorie diet. High fiber diets can inhibit your body's absorption of HCA, while Garcinia cambogia may be most effective for people who consume a diet that is high in simple sugars. In addition to promoting weight loss, tamarind may be of benefit for people with inflammatory bowel diseases and could potentially prevent stomach ulcers and other types of damage to the stomach lining by inhibiting stomach acids. Citrin also helps to lower cholesterol levels in the body and contains plenty of vitamin C. An essential component for the growth and repair of tissues throughout our entire bodies, and an excellent source of antioxidants as well.

White Willow bark has been determined to contain the chemical salicin, and as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, it has advanced the field of homeopathy. It has been helpful in reducing minor aches and cold and flu-like symptoms, including fevers. White Willow bark extracts may also speed up the body's ability to heal. While White Willow bark won't make you lose weight, it has been reported that it has the ability to enhance the effects of other weight-loss herbs, like those found in this herbal weight-loss formula, especially those that are called thermogenic's. The herbal tincture will enhance their ability to burn fat and increase our metabolism.
