Zylene Contains: Chromium is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose metabolism, regulation of insulin levels, and maintenance of healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium forms part of a compound in the body known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which is involved in regulating the actions of insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels and, possibly, in helping to control appetite. Increases insulin sensitivity Reduces body fat Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels Increases lean body and muscle mass Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phytoalexin produced by some plants in response to injury or fungal infection. It is also extracted from the shrub, Polygonum Cuspidatum. Phytoalexins are chemical substances produced by plants as a defense against disease. Resveratrol occurs in the vines, roots, seeds and stalks but the highest concentrations are found in grape skins and red wines. Resveratrol interferes with all three stages of cancer formation: Initiation, Promotion and Progression. It is believed that Resveratrol is behind the French paradox (despite the French having diets high in saturated fats, they suffer relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease).

The chemical constituent in Hoodia, P57, works within the satiety center of the brain by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose, but is 100,000 times more powerful. The hypothalamus receives this signal as an indication that enough food has been consumed and in turn stunts the appetite. Appetite Suppressant Promotes weight loss May enhance mental performance Garcinia Cambogia is a natural form of Hydroxcitric acid (HCA) which can inhibit Citrate Lyase (an enzyme in cells). Citrate Lyase 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. Acetyle Coenzyme A is the metabolic building block for fat synthesis. Garcinia inhibits fat production and also suppresses appetite.

It?s considered sacred in Asian religions for its ability to stay dry and clean. When water drops on the leaf, it beads up and rolls off the waxy surface, washing away dirt. Scientists have worked to mimic its water-repellent, self-cleansing properties. The surface of the Lotus Leaf is not perfectly smooth, but rather porous much like that of a sponge. The air trapped in the crevices prevents water from adhering to the solid.

Reduces cholesterol and triglycerides Anti-inflammatory Enhances immune function Enhances weight loss Antioxidant effects May reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease Pyruvate is a salt form of pyruvic acid- a 3-carbon molecule derived from the breakdown of glucose. In the body glucose is split into two Pyruvic acid molecules 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. Glucose, the chief sugar used by cells for energy, is broken down by the body into Pyruvic acid. An increased level of Pyruvic acid in the body can enhance a cells ability to generate energy. Enhances weight loss and reduces weight gain Decreases appetite Elevated energy levels May increase endurance levels and muscle glycogen Improves heart function Antioxidant effects Banaba Leaf is a deciduous evergreen that is native to East Asia, India, United States of America and Australia.
