Chromium is pivotal in sugar metabolism. More than 90 percent of Americans are deficient in this crucial trace mineral. When your body exhibits low levels of Chromium, craving for sugar increases and so do the numbers on your bathroom scale!
According to Dr. Robert Atkins, not only does chromium reduce your cravings for sugar, it also increases your total lean body mass, which also speeds up your metabolism. It helps prevent the loss of lean muscle mass if you intentionally slash your caloric intake and revs up your calorie-burning results from exercising.
Refined foods and loss of topsoil through poor agricultural practices reduces the level of chromium. Low chromium levels can increase blood sugar and raise triglyceride (a type of fat) and cholesterol levels. Chromium supplementation may help reduce body fat and increase muscle tissue.
Chromium enables insulin to bind to receptors, so that glucose can enter the cell to be metabolized. It controls appetite, cravings for food and the desire for sweets.
Chitosan is a polysaccharide derived from chitin found in shells of shrimp and other shellfish. The positively charged molecule is used in the U.S. as a dietary supplement and is marketed for its ability to increase HDL cholesterol, enhance immune systems and increase fat elimination from the digestive tract. It is capable of absorbing approximately 10 to 12 times its weight in fat. Chitin is not selective and it will also absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Upforlife's Advanced Green Multi Vitamin Mineral Formula is excellent when used in conjunction with Mega Blocker, as supplementation with fat-soluble vitamins is necessary to maintain healthy body chemistry.
Phaseous Vulgaris is an extract of the Northern White Kidney Bean. In clinical studies it has been shown to clearly inhibit the production and activity of alpha amylase, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of starch into sugar. Human studies show that Phaseous Vulgaris can effectively inhibit intestinal amylase activity, thereby preventing dietary starch digestion and the corresponding after-meal rise in insulin concentration. Phaseous Vulgaris attaches to the carbohydrate molecule at precisely the point at which alpha-amylase normally would split the compound to yield dextrins. The complex carbohydrate is not broken down into absorbable sugars and simply passes out of the body undigested.
Upforlife's Mega Blocker is hypoallergenic and contains no yeast, wheat, corn, soy, milk, salt, starch, artificial colors or artificial flavours.
