THE APPLICATION OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS IN A WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM.


R.G. Davydova, M.D., cardiologist, Moscow, Russia

There are numerous reasons for obesity and there are many methods to overcome this disorder. We offer for your consideration one of the most effective methods. Within a two year period, a Russian based company distributing nutritional supplements produced by New Spirit Naturals, Inc., developed a successful weight-loss program. This program has several steps:
1. changing the style of life and diet
2. cleansing the body
3. normalizing body functions
4. restoring intestinal microflora
5. increasing metabolic thermogenesis
6. stabilizing blood sugar levels
7. using antioxidants
8. physical activity

The first step of our program completely depends on a person's will power and decision to lose weight.

The second step provides the removal of metabolic by-products from the intestine and colon. For this we use Nutri Cleanse (1 tsp, 1-2 times a day, for 2-3 months). NutriCleanse contains fiber, medicinal herbs, enzymes, antioxidants, lactobacillus and bifida bacterium. Therefore, it not only cleanses the bowel, but normalizes the mucous membranes of the intestines and restores the microbacterial flora. This product has no sugar, preservatives, colorants or yeast.

The third step, normalizing body functions, uses Plant Enzyme Complex in our program. This supplement is a complex combination of plant enzymes that are used for metabolism and assimilation of food and that release toxins from the body. One should take 1 tablet prior to each meal for 1-1.5 months.

The absence of intestinal microbacteria flora (disbacteriosis) is one of the main reasons of obesity. In order to eliminate or prevent disbacteriosis and fulfill step 4, it is necessary to use the nutritional supplement ProBiotic Complex. This is a complex of lactobacteriums grown on carrots. They are more viable and do not have lactose. Lactobacteriums neutralize toxins that are formed by pathogenic bacteriums.

Jerusalem Artichoke Flour (JAF) is an excellent product for increasing metabolic thermogenesis (step 5). It is a natural source of inulin polysaccharides. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) introduced to the intestine undergo the process of fermentation with the help of growing bifida bacterium. Each dose of JAF (1 tsp) has 6mln bifida bacteriums. This product also contains 6 times more potassium than, for example, 3.5 lbs of bananas. JAF creates a synthesis of acetic and lactic acids that results in normalizing of intestine pH. We recommend taking JAF in a dose of 1 tsp., 3 times a day, 30 minutes prior a meal, for 2-2.5 months. It is beneficial to have bacteriologic control during weight loss.

New Life 1000 is a complex of unsaturated fatty acids that stimulate "burning of fat". This supplement contains marine lipids that consist of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These essential fatty acids are indispensable for the synthesis of prostoglandins. Recommended dose is 1 capsule, 2-3 times a day, for 2-2.5 months.

For Step 6, stabilizing blood sugar levels, we use the nutritional supplement VitaTrim Pro that provides a new approach to the problem of obesity. It contains niacin-bound chromium that helps regulate blood sugar levels. This chromium increases fat metabolism and, with the help of carnitine, assists energy output in muscle cells. A deficiency of chromium provokes an increase of blood sugar levels (manifesting itself as a craving for sweets), high cholesterol, cardiac diseases and obesity. Chromium is a part of VitaTrim that regulates the process of food assimilation, optimizes the supply of blood with sugar, stimulates lipolysis and slows down lipogenesis. Patients who take VitaTrim reduce their appetite and cravings for sweets. We recommend 2 tablets, 3 times a day, 40 minutes prior to a meal. This regime provides gradual weight loss up to 4.5 to 5 lbs. a month.

While losing weight, a powerful process of lipolysis occurs. It is accompanied by the formation of a large quantity of free radicals. That is why it is so important to simultaneously take antioxidants (step 7) and, in particular, the supplement Mega Pro Plus that contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins (known as OPCs). This nutritional supplement produced from grape seeds has an antioxidant activity that is 50 times greater than vitamin E and 20 times more than vitamin C. We recommend taking it during a 10 day period in a small dose (3 mg. per 2.2 lbs of body weight) followed by a dose of 50-150 mg. a day during 2-2.5 months. Mega Pro Plus is the only antioxidant that penetrates through the hemoencephalic barrier to brain cells and restores brain capacity and memory.

In the cases of slight obesity (the 1st or 2nd degree) without accompanying disorders, we recommend Aloe Papaya Acai Juice, a product that contains antioxidant enzymes SOD and catalase that turn peroxides and hydroxides into harmless liquid. Aloe Papaya Juice is recommended on an empty stomach in a dose of 1/3 of glass in the morning and in the evening, during 2-2.5 months.

In the case of the obesity (the 3rd or 4th degree) it's necessary to take antioxidant supplements that act synergistically:

E Plus is an antioxidant that protects cellular membranes from oxidation and destruction. Recommended dose is 1 capsule a day for 2-3 months;

Magnum C provides antioxidant activity in cellular mitochondrias. Recommended dose is 500 mg. a day for 2-3 months;

M.U.Tene-Beta Carotene is a vitamin A that acts as a "trap" for particularly aggressive free radicals that exist in a form of atomized oxygen. For this supplement, the dose is 1 capsule a day for 2-3 months.

The patients who took these vitamins during our test study had no acute conditions of chronic disease.

For the further stimulation of the weight loss process, we recommend Meal in a Glass. This nutritional supplement in the form of powder for shakes is rich in fibers, vitamins, microelements and enzymes. One dose of this product may replace your whole meal.

Summary
This complete weight loss program using New Spirit Naturals' nutritional supplements resulted in stable weight loss in quite a short period of time. Most important is the fact that there were no side effects. On the contrary, there was an improvement of the general physical state and increased capacity to work.
