Irvingia gabonensis is without doubt the most effective phytonutrient for helping to restore leptin sensitivity and neutralise the various mechanisms involved in gaining body fat. This new, sophisticated formulation combines Irvingia with nutrients and phytonutrients proven to be effective at helping combat weight gain via a number of synergistic metabolic pathways.

• An extract of the West African plant Irvingia gabonensis has been shown to help restore a healthy weight by acting on four complementary metabolic pathways:

- it helps the body to regulate levels of C-reactive protein and restore leptin sensitivity;
- it stimulates secretion of adiponectin, a hormone essential both for maintaining optimal sugar levels and for cardiovascular health;
- it regulates activity of the enzyme glycerol-3-deshydrogenase, which converts sugar into fat;
- it acts on amylase, reducing the amount of carbohydrate absorbed as sugar.

• The various nutrients and phytonutrients combine to boost and complement the action of Irvingia gabonensis:

- rhodiola rosea extract and N-acetyl-carnitine act on leptin sensitivity receptors and leptin signalling;
- fucoxanthin and extracts of guarana and green coffee stimulate metabolism and thermogenesis;
- l-carnitine tartrate and fucoxanthin boost oxidation and breakdown of fats;
- chromium, benfotiamine, chlorogenic acids from green coffee extract and caffeine from guarana help improve blood sugar balance and insulin resistance, thus minimising the risk of fat being stored;
- fucoxanthin and L-tyrosine promote healthy thyroid function.

Combined with Irvingia gabonensis, these nutrients and phytonutrients constitute potent weapons in the battle to reach and maintain a healthy weight.
