Nutritional and dietary supplements to assist weight loss

Most of us at some stage or another would like to shed a few pounds... or more. Reducing excess body fat can have far reaching benefits including improved appearance, a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Getting our body into shape helps us not only look better but feel better about ourselves too. Ensuring our body is adequately nourished is essential to losing weight for the long term. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise the supplements in this section can help you to improve your body; CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) has been studied for having the following effects on metabolism:

1. Reducing the amount of fat stored following a meal by reducing fat storing enzymes (lipoprotein lipase)
2. Enhancing the rate at which fat is burned by improving the breakdown of fat from fat cells
3. Reducing the total number of fat cells

Other supplements such as MetaGlycemX and GlucoBalance provide targeted nutrition to support healthy blood sugar levels, support the insulin response, curb food cravings and minimize energy dips.
