The body converts food into energy and nutrients, storing as fat any energy not needed for immediate use. We are thus programmed to put on weight when we take in more food than our bodies can use. ¤ The ideal solution is to increase our energy expenditure, or reduce the amount of food we consume, but it’s not that simple, since hunger and the desire to eat are governed by numerous factors including our hormones, which are difficult to control. ¤ New Appetite Control Formula has removed a controversial ingredient (DMAA) and introduced a new approach, enabling the impulse to overeat to be tamed, and the appetite to be curbed and regulated. ¤ Phospholean® is a proprietary, new generation, phosphobioflavonic complex. It combines oleoyl ethanolamine (OEA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea, bound to a phospholipid to ensure their breakdown in the small intestine where appetite-controlling receptors are found. Phospholean® has been shown to be very effective in an 8-week stud...

This means that all the substances originally present in the rind have been preserved (for synergistic purposes). Only its hydroxycitric acid has been enhanced to maximise its e...
