DIETMAXX Formulation

Hoodia Gordonii (500 mg ) - Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent (similar to Aloe) plant found in desert regions of South Africa . Molecules in Hoodia Gordonii (P57) mimic the effects of glucose on nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain, fooling the body into thinking that it is "satisfied" or "full". This helps curb appetite, and calorie intake in the diet is reduced.

Vitamin B6 (2 mg) - helps the release of carbohydrates stored in liver and muscles for energy, and helps to stablize blood sugar by reducing glycosylated hemoglobin. A higher level of glycosylated hemoglobin corresponds to greater extent of diabetes-related cellular harm. Vitamin B6 also eliminates homocysteine, an amino acid whose elevated level in the blood correspond to greater rates of strokes and heart attacks.

Glucomannan (200 mg) - Studies have demonstrated that glucomannan can be used in the management of obesity. In an eight-week, double-blind study, 20 obese subjects received 1 gram of glucomannan or placebo daily. Subjects were instructed not to change eating or exercise habits. Glucomannan-supplemented subjects had a significant mean weight loss of 5.5 pounds. Serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were significantly reduced, as well, in the treated group. Glucomannan helps in weight loss by occupying space in the stomach, thereby making a person feel full.

Chromium (chelate) (100 mcg) - is required for normal protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium plays a role in regulating appetite, reducing the cravings for sugar and increasing lean body mass.

Vanadium (chelate) (150 mcg) - is an essential trace mineral that plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and may have functions in cholesterol and blood lipid metabolism.
