be utilized for energy. Folic acid also works with Vitamin B12 and Vitamin
C to metabolize protein, formation of white and red blood cells, proper
differentiation and growth of cells, formation of the nucleic acid of
DNA and RNA, etc. (detailed Folic Acid information).
Chromium Chelate - is an essential trace mineral that is required for proper glucose and
fat metabolism. Chromium is necessary for normal insulin function. Dietary
studies indicate that most individuals in the Europe do not get
sufficient Chromium in their diet. Supplementing Chromium in the diet

information).
Betaine Hydrochloride - is a nutrient that promote the health of the cardiovascular system.
Betaine helps to reduce the potentially toxic levels of homocysteine (Hcy).
Hcy is an amino acid normally found in small amounts in the blood. However,
higher levels of Hcy have been associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis,
stroke heart attack and pulmonary embolism. Supplemental doses of Betaine
HCL converts pepsinogen to pepsin aiding protein digestion. The nutrient
also increases the stomach's resistance to orally ingested pathogens,
promotes the flow of bile, help to prevent the overgrowth of bacterial
and fungi in the small intestine and assist with the absorption of nutrients
including calcium, folic acid, beta-carotene, iron, zinc, magnesium, zinc,
etc.

Bitter Orange - also known as Citrus aurantium, Bigarade Orange,
Seville Orange, Sweet Portugal Orange, China Orange, etc was know
to the early Greeks and represents the first oranges grown in
Europe during the twelfth century. Bitter Orange, also known as
Seville Orange was known to the early Greeks, and was probably
the first orange grown in Europe (twelfth century). |
Traditional Uses:
In Chinese herbal medicine, the unripe
Bitter Orange Fruit was
known as Zhi Shi, was used to regulate the gastrointestinal tract
helping to relieve flatulence and abdominal bloating. In Western
medicine, the oils found in Bitter Orange were used to reduce
heart rate and palpitations.
In Europe the Bitter Orange leaves were prescribed for stomach
aches, constipation, and heart palpitations. Bitter Orange is
now a common ingredient in the most respected weight loss supplements
Physiology:
Bitter Orange has a complex chemical makeup, although Bitter Orange
is most known for the volatile oil in the peel. The oil gives
Bitter Orange its strong odor and flavor, and accounts for many
of its medicinal effects. Besides the volatile oil, the Bitter
Orange peel contains flavones, the alkaloids synephrine, octopamine,
and N-methyltyramine, and carotenoids
Bitter Orange is used as a thermogenic weight loss supplement
secondary to its ability to increase the basal metabolic rate
(BMR), enabling the body to burn more calories. Bitter
Orange
increases thermogenesis by stimulating the release of norepinephrine
and epinephrine a class of hormones known as catecholamines. These
catecholamines stimulate cell receptors known as alpha and beta
receptors.
Each alpha or beta receptor when stimulated elicits
a unique positive response:
- Strong appetite suppressant
- Effective weight loss agent
- Increase overall stamina and endurance
- Promotes generalized feeling of well being
The Synephrine in Bitter Orange has been clinically
shown that the combination of these adrenergic amines stimulate
beta-3 receptors. This functions to increase an individuals metabolic
rate without grossly affecting the heart rate or blood pressure.
The Synephrine signals the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline
only in the beta-3 receptor sites located mostly in the adipose
tissue and the liver.
Stimulation of the beta-3 receptor sites elicits the breakdown
of lipolysis, fat cells. This stimulation also increases the metabolic
rate or thermogenesis, promoting you to burn calories.
Synephrine offers all the advantages of a stimulant, without the
negative side effects associated with Ephedra. Hence, the Synephrine
in Bitter Orange allows individuals to burn fat, increase physical
performance, while building lean muscle mass.
In addition, the Bitter Orange was found to exhibit a
powerful thermogenic effect, acting to increase resting metabolic
rate, or the rate at which calories are burned.
Modern Day Uses:
Today,
Kola Nut is prescribed by doctors and herbal specialists for the following:
- Appetite suppressant properties - Bitter Orange represents
an excellent appetite suppressant allowing individuals to successfully
lose unwanted pounds, thus, promoting weight loss.
- Increase Metabolic Rate - promoting the burning of calories and fast weight loss.
- Increased Energy Levels - promotes a feeling well being and alertness.
- Promotes Concentration and Alertness - increase your awareness and be more alert.
Precautions and/or
Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should consult
with their doctor particularly if they are taking prescription
and/or over-the-counter-medications/supplements. Women who are
pregnant or breast feeding and children should also consult with their
doctor prior to taking any new supplements.
More specifically,
individuals should consult with their doctor prior to taking
Bitter Orange particularly if they have a history of any medical
conditions including the following:
- Bipolar disease
- Methyldopa
- Psychosis
- Pregnant or nursing
Please note: The above list
is only a summary and is not all inclusive of all the preexisting
medical conditions that should warrant not taking Bitter Orange.
Please consult with your doctor if you have a history of any
preexisting medical conditions.
Some drugs when combined with Bitter Orange may result
in complications, you should consult with their doctor prior to taking
Bitter Orange if they are taking any of the following
medications:
- Mixed amphetamines
- Psuedoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine (ingredients found
in certain allergy, asthma, cold/cough control products).
- MAO inhibitors
- Theophylline
Please note: The above list
is only a summary and is not all inclusive of the medications
that may react with Bitter Orange. Please consult with your
doctor
if you are taking any prescription and/or over-the-counter-medications
or supplements.
Clinical Studies:
Good News, results from an ongoing study at McGill University in Montreal,
as well as feedback from other individuals using Bitter Orange,
indicate that taking Bitter Orange did not cause
excessive central nervous system stimulation (heart palpitations,
hypertension, jitters, etc).
Thus far, volunteers in the McGill University study who consumed
Bitter Orange exhibited excellent stimulation of calorie burning;
however, these individuals showed very little or no increase in
heart rate or blood pressure.
Another independent clinical
study also reported excellent weight-loss results from a substance
containing Bitter Orange, again, with minimal side effects.
Bitter Orange contains several alkaloids including
N-methyltyramine, Hordenine, Octopamine, Synephrine, and Tyramine.
These alkaloids are adrenergic agonists, which stimulate the adrenoreceptors
and the release catecholamines. The release of catecholeamines
initiates fat burning or lipolysis via the promotion of adenyl
cyclase. Synephrine is a sympathetic adrenergic agonist that stimulates
the alpha one and beta three adrenoreceptors. The alpha one receptors
regulate appetite while the beta three receptors control the metabolic
rate. Bitter Orange has been clinically shown to aid in weight
loss and increase thermogenesis in humans.
Stone, M.H., et al., Int J Sport Nutr,
2009 9(2):
p. 146-165.
According to research,
Bitter Orange exclusively
stimulates metabolism to increase the breakdown of fat and encourage
growth in muscles. Bitter Orange promotes the burning of fat provides
increased energy and allows for lean muscle tone which is essential
for firm thighs, waist, and the gluteus region.
Clinical studies have shown that Bitter Orange
stimulates the specific part of fat cells, called beta-receptors,
which are responsible for initiating a series of chemical reactions
responsible for increased fat breakdown. In addition, physical
activity will also increase the thermogenic effect of Bitter Orange.
An appropriate exercise program, as well, as a moderately low-fat diet
with plenty of water intake, will further enhance the thermogenic
effect of Bitter Orange for fast weight loss. Bitter Orange was
recently tested by Sprauge-Dawley Laboratories to determine its
safety. Tests concluded that even in amounts far exceeding the normal
dose for weight loss, Bitter Orange was a very safe weight loss pill.

Guarana (Paullinia Cupana) - is an indigenous climbing shrub that
grows in the Amazon regions of Brazil and Uruguay. The herb has
a black seed surrounded by a distinctive red outer covering. The
black seed is harvested and crushed to form a similar compound
to methylxanthine, guaranine. |
Traditional Uses:
Guaranine has a very similar stimulant properties as caffeine.
Natives to the Amazon have used the active substance, guaranine
for centuries has a source for energy and endurance.
Physiology:
Guarana stimulates the central nervous system reducing an individuals appetite while exerting a thermogenic
effect. Unlike caffeine which is short acting, Guarana, is released slowly. Therefore, unlike caffeine
that can produce a sudden rush followed by a sudden drop off, Guarana offers a consistent increase
in energy for up to several hours. The herb has become a popular ingredient in nutrition drinks to
boost the performance of athletes, sportsmen, workforce, etc.
Today, Guarana is prescribed by physicians and herbal
specialist for the following:
- Appetite suppressant
- Improve mental alertness
- Aphrodisiac properties
- Increase stamina and physical endurance
- Detoxifies the blood
- Treatment of dyspepsia (disorder of digestive function characterized
by discomfort or heartburn or nausea).
- Arteriosclerosis
- Natural diuretic
- Breaks down lactic acid
Precautions and/or
Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should consult
with their doctor particularly if they are taking prescription
or over-the-counter-medications or supplements. Women who are
pregnant or breast feeding and children should also consult with
there physician prior to taking any new supplements. Very few
side effects have been reported with Guarana at the time of this

Garcinia Cambogia (Hydroxycitric Acid) - is
an exotic fruit that grows on a medium size tree indigenous to to
the evergreen forest in Southern India. |
Traditional Uses:
The herb has been used for centuries in traditional
Hindu medicine for the treatment of chronic indigestion, stomach
disorders, rheumatism, etc.
Physiology:

The active ingredient, hydroxyl citric acid
(HCA), is extracted from the rind of the fruit as a substance
to promote weight loss. Studies have shown that HCA decreases
the activity of an essential enzyme in metabolism of fat.
The
conversion of carbohydrates into fat requires an enzyme called
citrate lyase. HCA temporarily reduces the action of this enzyme,
blocking the production of fatty acids making less fat available
for cellular storage.
Clinical
Studies:
Studies concerning Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) found in
Garcinia Cambogia suggests that HCA may be a useful weight loss aid. As
mentioned above, the HCA reduces the action of citrate lyase blocking
the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. Cheema-Dhadli S, Harlperin
ML, Leznoff CC. Inhibition of enzymes which interact with citrate
by (-)hydroxycitrate and 1,2,3,-tricarboxybenzene. Eur J Biochem
1973;38:98–10. Animal research indicates that HCA suppresses
appetite and induces weight loss. Greenwood MRC, Cleary MP, Gruen

AC, Triscari J. Metabolic regulation as a control for lipid disorders.
Am J Clin Nutr 1977;30:767–76.
Modern Day Uses:
Today, Garcinia Cambogia is is prescribed today by physicians
and herbal specialist for the following positive effects:
- Srong Appetite Suppressant -
allowing you to eat less without feeling hungry all the time.
- Carbohydrate Blocker -
Garcinia Inhibits lipogenesis (the conversion of proteins or carbohydrates
to fat).
- Decreases Cholesterol and Fatty Acids - Lowers the production of fatty acids and cholesterol
Precautions and/or Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical
conditions should consult with their physician particularly if
they are taking prescription or over-the-counter-medications or
supplements. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding and children
should also consult with their doctor prior to taking any new supplements. There has
been no reported significant side effects associated with the

Green Tea (Camellia Sinesis) - is an
evergreen plant with distinctive white rose like blooms that reaches
a of thirty or more feet if not properly being pruned. The herb
is now harvested in the subtropical regions of China, India Indonesia,
Europe, Kenya, Zimbabwe, etc. Although there are only three different
types of plants there are some 2000 plus varieties of tea. Climate,
soil and harvesting techniques play the most significant role
in developing the different varieties of teas.
Green Tea is produced
from the same tea plant as black tea. However, black tea is fermented
in a damp environment for a long period while Green Tea is dried
quickly. This quick drying procedure retains the antioxidant properties
that make Green Tea so popular as a dietary supplement. Aside
from water tea is the most consumed beverage worldwide. |
Traditional Uses:
Green Tea has a long traditional use by the South American Amazon
Indians. The first record of the use of Green Tea dates all the
way back to 1669. This was this year that a Jesuit missionary
named J. Felipe Betendorf visited an area deep in the Amazon Basin
where the Maue Indians were using Guarana as a daily tonic and
stimulant. These Maue Indians use the tonic on a daily bases in
order to prevent headaches, relieve stomach cramps and as an aphrodisiac.
The Indians also believed that the herb prevented malaria and
dysentery.
Physiology:
Green Tea contains tetra methylxanthine a compound almost identical
to caffeine, and two other stimulates closely related to caffeine
theobromine and theophylline. Chocoholics will recognize both
theobromine and theophylline as the stimulant and euphoriant agent
they crave in their chocolate. Combine these factors with the
caffeine effect and you can see why Green Tea is so desired. In
addition the herb contains tannic acid that is astringent and
probably accounts for its use as a digestive tonic.
Clinical studies:
Weight loss can be attributed to a reduction
in caloric intake or an increase in energy expenditure. Recent
studies conducted at the University of Geneva have shown individual
treated with Green Tea extract showed a 4% increase in energy
expenditure as compared to those individuals receiving caffeine
or a placebo. Since caffeine alone did not significantly increase
the energy expenditure it is hypothesized that the abundance of
catechin polyphenols in Green Tea are responsible for the thermogenic
effect.
Another study published in 2009 in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition found that Green Tea extract may increase energy levels
and promote fat oxidation. Since the Green Tea extracts did not
significantly increase the patients heart rates, Green Tea extract
could prove to be a safer dietary aide than the current prescription
and over the counter stimulants on the market.
Dulloo, Abdul G.,
et al. "Efficacy of a Green Tea Extract Rich in Catechin
Polyphenols and Caffeine in Increasing 24-h Energy Expenditure
and Fat Oxidation in Humans." American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition (December 2009):1040-1045.
The antioxidants in Green Tea may also be beneficial in lowering
cholesterol hence preventing cardiovascular disease. The data
from one 2009 study, which followed over 3,400 tea-drinking residents
of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, concluded that regular, long-term
tea consumption can have a protective effect against severe atherosclerosis.
Geleijnse, Johanna M., et al. "Tea Flavonoids May Protect
Against Atherosclerosis: The Rotterdam Study." Archives of
Internal Medicine 159 (October 11, 2009): 2170-2174.
Modern Day Uses:
Today, Green Tea is prescribed by doctors and herbal specialist
for the following benefits:
- Promotes Weight Loss -the herb increases energy levels and while promoting
fat oxidation.
- Improves Cardiovascular System - the extracts have shown to reduce
many of the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease
including high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood clotting,
adhesions, etc.
- Cancer Reduction - the polyphenols that act as antioxidants
by suppressing free radicals, recent studies have shown that
the constituents in Green Tea may reduce the risks of certain
types of cancer including: prostate, oral, colon, stomach. In
animal studies Green Tea extract injections have actually reduced
the size of cancerous tumors.
- L-theanine - commonly found in
Green Tea, promotes relaxation,
lowers blood pressure, reduces social anxiety and phobias, heightens
mental acuity, supports the immune system.
Precautions and/or
Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should consult
with their physician particularly if they are taking prescription
or over-the-counter-medications or supplements. Women who are
pregnant or breast feeding and children should also consult with
there physician prior to taking any new supplements. More specifically,
individuals with with a history of ulcers as with any medical
condition should consult with their physician prior to using any
herbal supplement (Green Tea can stimulate an increase in gastric
acid production). In addition, pregnant and breast feeding women
should not consume Green Tea secondary to the caffeine content.
The caffeine can effect the sleeping patterns of nursing infants.

Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) - is a perennial plant indigenous
to Hawaii, Jamaica, Haiti, India, and Nigeria that can reach height
of 3-4 ft. The herb has thin, sharp leaves 6-12 in long with a
twisted beige root that can reach 1-6 inches in length. The root
has a sharp, poignant taste and aroma. The herb is now mostly
cultivated in Jamaica and is dried and preserved for export. Commercial
Ginger is called white or black, according to whether the herb
is peeled or unpeeled. The preferred white are scraped clean and
dried, without being scalded The black are scalded in boiling
water, then dried in the sun. |
Traditional Uses:
Ancient Greeks used to wrap ginger inside their bread and would
consume the combination after dinner to aide in their digestion,
hence, ginger bread. Today, Ginger is used in teas, ginger beer,
ginger ale, broths, and as a spice when cooking particularly in
and Jamaican and Asian entrees.
Physiology:
Ginger effects several metabolic processes promoting the
following positive effects:
-
Prostaglandin metabolism - Ginger contains many constituents which have been shown
to be potent inhibitors of leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis
(products in the body that influence blood flow and inflammation).
This is why Ginger has been prescribed as an effective anti-inflammatory
agent.
-
Cardiac stimulating properties - Ginger can improve the contractility of the heart secondary
to its ability to stimulate increase calcium uptake by the
cardiac muscle.
-
Anti-coagulating properties - Ginger has also been shown to greatly reduce platelet lipid
peroxide formation via its antioxidant capacity.
-
Anti-ulcer effects -
Ginger exhibits anti-ulcer properties via its relation to
the mucosal layer of the intestinal tract, extracts of Ginger
have also improved the healing time of of various types of
ulcers.
-
Gastric motility - Ginger
appears to improve gastric motility secondary to its anti-spasmodic
effects.
-
Analgesic effects - Ginger
has demonstrated analgesic effects in experimental animal

Ginko Biloba (Ginko Biloba ) - trees are found in China, Korea,
southern France.
Interestingly, Ginko Biloba trees can live over one thousand years.
These trees as might be expected are practically immune to pollution,
drought, and insects. The Ginko Biloba tree has distinctive fan
shaped leaves with a . |
Traditional Uses:
Ginkgo has been used by the Chinese for thousands of years.
Ginko Biloba was so important to ancient Chinese culture that the tree
was cultivated inside the walls of their fortresses. The Chinese
would take Ginko in order to promote a generalized feeling of
well being and as a stimulus to improve cognitive functioning.
Physiology:
Researchers believe that there are several substances that
are important in promoting the positive effects of Ginko Biloba i.e. flavanoids (ginko-flavone glycosides) and terpenes (ginkgolides
and bilobalide). Flavanoids are credited with neutralizing the
free radicals and improving circulation by causing the dilating
the small blood vessels, thus, protecting the brain from oxygen
deprivation.
Clinical
Studies:
The main focus of most of the clinical studies concerning Ginko
Biloba is centered around concentration and memory. Several studies
have shown significant improvements in both memory and concentration
versus placebo.

of Ginkgo Biloba Extract on Mental Performance. Double-blind Study
using Computerized Measurement Conditions in Patients with Cerebral
Insufficiency. Fortschr Med. 1992;110(5):73-78.
Modern Day Uses:
Today, Ginko Biloba is prescribed by doctors and herbal specialist
for the the following positive effects:
- Increased circulation - Ginko Biloba increases circulation to both the brain and extremities.
Physicians prescribe the herb for the treatment of claudication
(a squeezing or tight pain in the foot, calf, thigh, or buttock
that occurs during exercise secondary to poor circulation).
Ginko bliloba inhibit platelet-activating-factor (PAF) promoting
circulation.
- Cognitive Functioning - the herb as shown
to help individuals with age relate cognitive deficits from
Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the herb is know being recommended
by physicians along with Vitamin E for the elderly to delay
the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Gingo biloba is also well-known
for its effect on memory and thinking in the general population,
an estimatéd 11 million American currently take Ginko
Biloba to improve cognitive function.
- Strong Antioxidant - acts as a powerful antioxidant
and contributes to the oxidation of free radicals. Ginkgo also
acts as a powerful antioxidant and contributes to the oxidation
of free radicals which are believed to contribute to premature
aging and dementia.
- Effective Antidepressant -
Ginko Biloba has proved
to b successful in treating depression.
Precautions and/or Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should consult
with their physician particularly if they are taking prescription
or over-the-counter-medications or supplements. Women who are
pregnant or breast feeding and children should also consult with
there physician prior to taking any new supplements. Reported side effects
usually resolve within 1-2 days upon discontinuation of the herbal
supplement. Pregnant and breast feeding women should refrain from
using Ginko Biloba unless approved by their OB/GYN.

Hawthorne Berry (Crataegus oxyacantha) - is found in Europe, North
Africa and wester Asia. The herb grows has a small thorny tree
belonging to the rose family with distinctive reddish fruits.
The herb as been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. |
Physiology:
Extract form Hawthorne Berries contain a variety of flavonoids
and proanthocyanidins that are powerful antioxidants which exert
a beneficial effect on the entire cardiovascular system. The herb
is also responsible for a dilating effect on the blood vessels
that results in a lower blood pressure and a decrease incidence
of angina. Recent clinical studies have shown promise in the use
of Hawthorne for the treatment of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
Clinical
Studies:
There has been a significant number of clinical studies that conclude
Hawthorne Berry is effective in the treatment of congestive heart
failure.

Hawthorn extract as Plant Medication for the Heart;
a New Evaluation of its Therapeutic Effectiveness [translated
from German]. MMW Munch Med Wochenschr. 2007;136(suppl 1):S3–S5.
Modern Day Uses:
Hawthorne seems to work in two main ways. For one, it dilates
the blood vessels, especially the coronary arteries that nourish
the heart muscle. By this actions, it may help lower blood pressure
and reduce angina. As the arteries dilate, or open wider, pressure
throughout the blood vessel system is lowered.
Hawthorne Berry
has been described as the "cardio herb" secondary to
the following positive effects exerted on the cardiovascular system:
- Decreases cholesterol levels
- Decreases angina (chest pain) by dilating the cardiac blood
vessels
- Prevents congestive heart failure by improving the contractions
of the cardiac muscles, very similar to the prescription medication
Digitalis
- Lowers blood pressure
- Promotes a regular cardiac rate and rhythm
- Improves general circulation
- The dilating effect (hence the potential to decrease blood pressure) of
Hawthorne Berry is why
the herb is an important part of the Physicians Select Weight Loss Supplement. The
Hawthorne Berry
reduces the potential for increased blood pressure that may result secondary to the actions of
some of the other stimulating herbs in the Physicians' Select proprietary blend.
Precautions and/or Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should consult
with their physician particularly if they are taking prescription
or over-the-counter-medications or supplements. Women who are
pregnant or breast feeding and children should also consult with
their doctor prior to taking any new supplements. There have
not been any significant side effects reported with the use of
Hawthorne Berry at the time of this writing. However, Hawthorne
Berry may increase the effects of digitalis and other inotropic
medications.

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus Senticosus) - is a perennial
herb that reaches heights of two to three feet. The plant is distinguished
by the dark green leaves with clusters of red berries. The root
of the herb is used for medicinal purposes. Korena Ginseng has
traditionally been the most sought after herb. |
Traditional Uses:
Actual wars have been fought over land in Asia
where the herb is harvested. Ginseng has a long history as a medicinal
herb throughout Asia. Ginseng is known as an adaptogen, which
is a substance that enables the body adapt to stress. The use
of the herb dates back some 2,000 years according to Chinese medical
records were it was prescribed to prevent respiratory infections
and symptoms of the flu. In more recent times the herb gained
notoriety as a "performance enhancer" in Russian athletes.
Ginseng was also used by the Soviet Union to counteract the effects
of radiation to those individuals residing near the Chernobyl
accident.
Physiology:
The primary constituents in Siberian Ginseng that have
been studied are known as eleutherosides. Some seven of these
eleutherosides have been identified with the main focus on eleutherosides
B and E. These eleutherosides are composed of complex polysaccharides
(complex sugar molecule). These eleutherosides act as an adaptogen
or agent that allows the body to cope with stress by supporting
the adrenal gland function.
Clinical
Studies:
The eleutherosides mentioned above have been shown to enhance
physical endurance and mental acuity without the letdown that
is so commonly associate with most caffeinated products.

White Willow (Salix Alba) - is indigenous to Central and Southern
Europe, North America and Asia. The tree can reach heights of
75 feet and prefers to grow near streams or rivers where the soil
is moist and fertile. The trees have the familiar long slender
bending branches with long thin leaves highlighted by distinct
yellow flowers. |
Traditional Uses:
Reports reveal that physicians
and traditional herbalist have prescribed White Willow for medicinal
purposes since 500 B.C. The herb was used to treat chronic dysentery,
reduction of fevers, menstrual irregularities, etc.
Physiology:
The inner bark of the tree was once harvested for salicin
which was converted to salacylic acid, however, acetylsalicylic
acid was eventually synthetically produced so the tree lost it
popularity to aspirin. The salicylic acid in White Willow bark
lowers the body's levels of prostaglandins a hormone like compounds
that is responsible for aches, pain, and inflammation.
Many doctors
and herbalist still prefer the use of White Willow to that of
synthetic aspirin because of the lower incidence of side effects
associated with the herb. The bark also remains popular secondary
to its content of tannins, flavonoids, phenolic glycosides. The
high content of tannins are believed to be responsible for relieving
gastrointestinal complications.
The active ingredient in White Willow, salacylic acid, has a synergistic effect that promotes the
thermogenic process. Thermogenesis is the rapid conversion of the food we digest into heat before
the calories can be stored as fat.
Clinical
Studies:
The eleutherosides mentioned above have been shown to enhance
physical endurance and mental acuity without the letdown that
is so commonly associate with most caffeinated products. Farnsworth

Folic Acid (Folate) - is a water soluble vitamin found primarily
in leafy vegetables, peas, lentils, beans, wheat germ, broccoli,
bananas, strawberries, etc. Enriched grain products, i.e. fortified
breakfast cereals, and vitamins contain a synthetic form of folic
acid.
|
Traditional Uses:
Yerba Maté has been used for centuries
by South Americans has a natural stimulant to help improve alertness
and concentration, as well as, promoting a generalized feeling
of well-being.
Physiology:
Folic acid assist the body in breaking down complex carbohydrates
into simple sugars that can be utilized for energy. Folic acid
also works with Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C to metabolize protein,
formation of white and red blood cells, proper differentiation
and growth of cells, formation of the nucleic acid of DNA and
RNA, etc.
Deficiencies in Folic acid can result in an
increase risk for anemia, heart disease, etc. Pregnant women with
deficiencies in folic acid are at risk for preeclampsia, premature
birth, neural tube defects, cleft lip/palate, etc.
Folic acid may decrease the risk of your unborn
fetus from developing serious birth defects called neural tube
defects or NTDs. These are defects that occur very early in a
fetuses development, within four to five weeks after conception.
During this period of pregnancy, the neural tube forms and closes
to develop int the spinal cord, brain and bone surrounding these
organs. When the neural tube does not close properly two common
forms of NTD can occur Spina bifida and Anencephaly. Spina bifida
is a defect of the spinal cord that is sometimes called “open
spine.” Anencephaly is a birth defect that results in babies
being born with underdeveloped brains and incomplete skulls.
Individuals that are at a high risk for cardiovascular
disease and osteoporosis can also benefit from taking Folic acid.
Folic acid along with B6 and B12 have shown to break down the
amino acid homocysteine which at high levels have been linked
to these diseases.
Clinical
Studies:
Clinical research as shown that women who consume as little
as 400 micrograms of synthetic folic acid per day prior to conception
and during their pregnancy can reduce the incidence of neural
tube defects by 50 to 70 percent and prevent miscarriages.

Folic Acid in China. N Engl J Med 2009;341:1485–90.
Modern Day Uses:
Today, Folic acid is prescribed by doctors and herbal specialist
for the following positive effects:
- Complications with pregnancy - prevention
of neural tube defects, cleft lip/palate, preeclampsia (A condition
of hypertension occurring in pregnancy, typically accompanied
by edema and proteinuria), premature birth.
- Prevention of diseases - Individuals that are at a high risk
for cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis can also benefit
from taking Folic acid. Folic acid along with B6 and B12 have
shown to break down the amino acid homocysteine which at high
levels have been linked to these diseases.
Precautions and/or Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should

Chromium Chelate - is an essential trace mineral that is required
for proper glucose and fat metabolism. Chromium can be found in
unsaturated fats, clams, meats, brewer's yeast, liver, whole grain,
cereal, shellfish, etc.
|
Physiology:
Chromium 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.
Chromium contains a special bioactive formulation
called Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF). GTF facilitates insulin
action by binding insulin to cell membranes, serving as a bridge
between the insulin molecule and the cell membrane receptor sites.
Remember, glucose is used by cells for energy, insulin is used
by by the body to transport the glucose into the cells, Chromium's
GTF factor essentially assist the glucose to enter the cell. Therefore,
all both insulin and GTF are needed for proper glucose metabolism.
Chromium deficiency can lead to Type II diabetes and heart disease.
Chromium deficiency is thought to contribute to glucose intolerance.
Chromium has also been shown to reduce levels of harmful LDL cholesterol
(a form of cholesterol that has been linked to heart disease)
and increase beneficial HDL cholesterol (HDL cholesterol helps
return cholesterol to the liver, keeping it from building up in
the blood vessels).
Clinical
Studies:
Aside from the clinical studies concerning the importance
of Chromium's GTF factor in the regulation of glucose. Chromium
also promotes a positive effect on physical performance while
decreasing overall body fat of athletes in training. Lefavi RG,
Anderson RA, Keith RE, Wilson GD, McMillan JL, Stone MH. Efficacy
of Chromium in Athletes: Emphasis on Anabolism. Int. J. Sports
Nutr. 1992; 2: 111 – 122.
Modern Day Uses:
Today, Chromium is prescribed by doctors and herbal specialist
for the following positive benefits:
- Srong appetite suppressant promoting

Cobalamin (B12) - is part of the water-soluble family of B vitamins.
Cobalamin is found in beef, lamb, tuna, eggs and other dairy products,
chicken liver.
Usable cobalamin is only found naturally in animal source foods.
Fresh food is best, as freezing and exposure to light may destroy
some of the vitamin content. Clams and beef liver have very high
Cobalamin levels. Other good sources include chicken liver, beef,
lamb, tuna, flounder, liverwurst, eggs, and dairy products. |
Physiology:
Cobalamin is needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA
replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance SAMe
(S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Cobalamin acts with Vitamin B6, and
Folic acid to control homocysteine levels (homocysteine is a normal
breakdown product of the essential amino acid, methionine). An
excess of homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of
heart disease, strokes, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease.
Similar to other B complex vitamins, cobalamine
is considered an "anti-stress" vitamin because it is
believed to enhance the activity of the immune system and improve
the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions
Deficiency in Cobalamin may manifest in some
of the following symptoms, fatigue, numbness and tingling of the
extremities, confusion, memory loss, delusions, hearing problems,
nausea, diarrhea, disruption of the mucus membranes of the especially
the lining of the inner surface of the eye and the gums, etc.
Decreased levels of Cobalamin can also result in increased levels
of homocysteine, which can lead to osteoporosis, heart disease,
brain toxicity.
Absorption of Cobalamin is impaired by deficiencies
of folic acid, iron, Viatamin E, colchicine, corticosteroids,
phenformin, oral contraceptives, cholestyramine, colestipol, clofibrate,
epoetin, neomycin, methotrexate, metformin, potassium supplements,
and the consumption of vitamin C just prior to taking Cobalamin.
The use of nicotine and excessive alcohol can also decrease Cobalamin
levels.
Individuals who have had all or part of their
stomach removed are also at risk for for decreased levels of Cabalamin.
In order to absorb Cobalamin an individual requires the "intrinsic
factor" which is produced in the stomach, without the intrinsic
factor even if an individual eats foods rich in Cobalamin you
will still develop a deficiency.
Clinical
Studies:
Cobalamin deficiency has been attributed to a primary cause
of fatigue. Clinical studies have shown that individuals who were
not even deficient in the vitamin following a B12 injection reported
a significant increase in energy has compared to those individuals
who received a placebo injection.
Ellis FR, Nasser S. A pilot
study of vitamin B12 in the treatment of tiredness. Br J Nutr
2009;30:277–83.
Modern Day Uses:
Today, Cobalamin is prescribed by doctors and herbal specialist
for the following positive effects:
- Helps to metabolize food
- Formation of red blood cells (deficiencies
in Cobalamin can lead to anemia).
- Combined action with folic acid and B6 to reduce homocysteine
levels.
- Prevention Osteoporosis, heart disease and brain toxicity.
- Important in the action of the immune system.
- Formation of Myelin sheath that lines nerves cells
- Treatment of atherosclerosis
(hardening of the arteries secondary to plaque formation in
the arteries).
- Prevention of Chrohn's disease (inflammatory bowel syndrome).
- Promes DNA synthesis, the genetic material in all cells.
Precautions and/or Adverse Effects:
Individuals with preexisting medical conditions should
consult with their doctor particularly if they are taking
prescription or over-the-counter-medications or supplements. Women
who are pregnant or breast feeding and children should also
consult with their doctor prior to taking any new supplements. Adverse effects
from taking Cobalamin supplementation are rare, however, individuals
with a rare hereditary optic nerve atrophy, Leber's disease, should
not use the Cobalamin supplementation. Extremely high doses of
Cobalamin may cause acne.

Bladderwrack (Fucus Vesiculosus) - is a notably brown algae or
seaweed that is found on the submerged rocks on both the east
and west coast of North America and in the warmer coastal regions
of Europe. |
Traditional Uses:
Bladderwrack was the original source of iodine
and it was used extensively in the early 1800's to treat goiter
(a swelling of the thyroid gland secondary to a lack of iodine).
In the beginning of the 1900's Europeans used Bladderwrack as
a thyroid stimulant proclaiming its ability to increase metabolic
rate.
Physiology:
The relationship between iodine and thyroid function is
complex. Iodine is required by the body to form thyroid hormone,
and iodine deficiency can lead to goiter and hypothyroidism which
manifests the following symptoms: weight gain, depression, lethargy,
constipation, intolerance to cold, dry skin, hair loss, excessive
menstruation, etc.
P D'Adamo, M.D. has note Bladdrerwrack as
being particularly beneficial for individuals with type O blood.
He states, that "bladderwrack seems to help normalize the
sluggish metabolic rate and produce weight loss." He also
alludes to its utility in helping to keep thyroid function normal,
and discusses the potential usefulness of this plant for preventing
the adherence of certain microorganisms to the lining of the digestive
tract including H. pylori (organism responsible for inducing ulcers
and gastritis).

Chitosan - is a polysaccharide derived from chitin which is found
in the exoskeletons of shellfish i.e. crab, lobster, shrimp, etc. |
Traditional Uses:
Historically, Chitosan has been
used for centuries has a cleansing agent and for weight loss.
Asians have also used Chitosan in a paste form to help the healing
process associated with open lesions and including burns.
Physiology:
Chitosan is a dietary fiber that allows individuals
to effectively lose weight. "Roughage," "bulk,"
"bran," are all terms used to describe fiber in the
diet. Fiber is a carbohydrate food component that adds no calories
and is essentially indigestible, however, plays an important role
in maintaining health. Chitosan as the unique ability to attract
and bind 4-6 times its own weight in fat. Once Chitosan has bound
to a fatty acid it becomes a macromolecule that can no longer
be digested. Therefore, the Chitosan is expelled along with the
fatty acids that were absorbed in the stool. Fiber also reduces
the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, diverticular disease
and constipation.
Clinical
Studies:
Studies have shown that Chitosan is effective in inhibiting
the digestion of some fats. Chitosan also reduces the
absorption of bile acids or cholesterol.
