Supplement of the month: SVETOL

 

Svetol is a trademark name for a water soluble extract of decaffeinated green coffee beans. It was discovered during research into the beneficial effects that coffee had on glucose tolerance levels for diabetics. The researchers found it was not the caffeine but other constituents such as chlorogenic acid that had these therapeutic benefits. Cholorogenic acid has the ability to inhibit a particular enzyme in the pathway of sugar to fat conversion. It also decreases the amount of sugar that gets absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. Because of these two amazing abilities, the body is forced to look at burning more fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates, thus increasing lean body mass and decreasing fat storage. Studies indicate you need 400mg per day of Svetol for it to be effective. Svetol can be found in a few weightloss products including Renew Life's DietStart and Simply Trim, and Genuine Health's Go4Trim. If you're looking for that extra nudge to lose a few pounds, Svetol can help get you there. It's no magic pill, but combined with a healthy diet and exercise program it will provide you with one more tool in your weight loss bag of tricks.
