CLA - THE SLIM FACTOR

The nutritional supplement CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a slightly altered form of the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid. Over 200 studies have shown that CLA may play a very important role not only in weight loss, but in helping to fight cancer, diabetes, and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). In promoting weight less double-blind studies show an increase in lean muscle mass and a decrease in percentage body fat compared to placebo group. The subjects taking CLA also reported less fatigue, dizziness and nausea than those on the placebo. Researchers believe that CLA helps block fat cells that are in the body from filling up with fat by interfering with a fat-storing enzyme known as lipoprotein lipase as well as by increasing the sensitivity of cells to the hormone insulin. CLA is also believed to help burn fat by revving up muscle metabolism and helping increase lean muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body uses in order to function, thereby speeding up the fat burning process. CLA is found naturally occurring in meat and dairy products when the cattle and cows consume a diet rich in grasses. Now that livestock are primarily grain fed, the CLA has virtually disappeared out of dairy products and the meat we consume. As a result, we may be increasing our risk for obesity, heart disease, and even cancer. Customers have found even more weight loss success when they combined Tonalin® CLA (2000 mg twice a day) with 250 mg Natural Factors Bromelain and 100 mg Natural Factors Alpha Lipoic Acid in conjunction with an exercise program. CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid, a natural fatty acid that has been shown to increase lean muscle while slowing the production of fat. CLA: Conjugated Linoleic Acid "A study published in the American Journal of Physiology hints that CLA could be the jack-of-all-trades among natural fat fighters. In lab mice fed low or high fat diets, CLA pared down body fat, curbed appetite and boosted the metabolism." - Let's Live, September 2000 CLA is a natural fat burner without the unpleasant side effects of many diet aids. This is particularly true if CLA is combined with exercise and diet. CLA occurs naturally in meats and dairy products but these products are also generally high in fats and studies suggest that changes in food production methods and eating habits have reduced our intake of CLA from foods considerably. Research shows that CLA affects the way our bodies store and use energy, leading to an increase in lean muscle and a decrease in body fat. Since muscle burns energy better than fat, CLA contributes to dieters' ability to keep the pounds off.

Co Enzyme Q 10

Co Enzyme Q 10 is our cellular spark plug! Is is required by every cell in our body and is the key to cellular energy, without it our health can break down resulting in degenerative diseases. Studies have shown Co Q 10's effectiveness in congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, cancers, tumours and gum disease. The use of cholesterol lowering drugs may contribute to our own lack of production of this vital body component, making suplementation essential.

Wild Salmon Oil

Wild Salmon Oil is a superior and contaminant- free source of omega-3 fatty acids, good for mental and emotional health, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure and heart disease. Studies have shown that the astaxanthin found in this oil scavenges reactive oxygen species, modulates immunce activity, enhances communication between cells and has a protective effect on the eyes and cardiovascular system.

High Blood Pressure

Anti-ACE Peptides by Natural Factors is a natural product. A group of small peptides (proteins) from the bonito fish, a member of the tuna family are used to create Natural Factors Anti-ACE Peptides. This product lowers blood pressure by inhibiting an enzyme known as ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme). This enzyme causes a reaction that increases both the volume of blood flowing through arteries and the degree of constriction of the blood vessels - like pinching off a garden hose while turning up the flow of water full blast! By inhibiting the action of this enzyme, Anti-ACE Peptides relax arterial walls and reduce fluid volume, effectively lowering blood pressure.
