Liposan® Ultra Chitosan
Liposan® Ultra is a patented form of Chitosan derived from shellfish. Lipsan Ultra® was developed by Primex EHP - an Icelandic marine biotech company that's a leader in the sustainable production of Chitosan. Liposan Ultra® can help aid weight loss by binding to dietary fats in the stomach, resulting in decreased absorption.
Liposan Ultra® dissolves rapidly in stomach acid, is fast-acting, and binds to fat up to five times more than other forms of Chitosan. Furthermore, Liposan Ultra® may help maintain normal blood low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Since Liposan Ultra® is so effective at reducing the absorption of fats, it's the main ingredient in our fat-blocking complex for GDA+.
Prickly Pear Leaf
Similar to Liposan Ultra®, prickly pear leaf is included in GDA+ to reduce the absorption of dietary fats, Prickly pear leaf is a rich source of fiber, antioxidants, and various vitamins. So it offers several health benefits.
Supplementing with Prickly Pear may:
- Reduce LDL Cholesterol Levels
- Decrease fasting blood glucose levels
- Lower absorption and storage of fats
Cinnamon Bark Extract
Cinnamon Bark, also known as Cinnamon Verum, contains high amounts of a bioactive compound that mimics insulin called Methlyhydroxychalcone. Insulin is the hormone that shuttles carbohydrates out of the bloodstream and into muscle, liver, or fat cells. In this case, Cinnamon Bak acts as a natural nutrient partitioning agent and helps direct the carbohydrates supplied by the ingredients highlighters above to the working muscles.
Supplementing with Cinnamon Bark may:
- Enhance insulin sensitivity
- Decrease blood glucose levels
- Positively affect blood lipid levels
White Kidney Bean
White Kidney Bean extract, also known as Phaseolus Vulgaris, acts as a natural dietary carbohydrate blocker because it contains at lease three Alpha-amylase inhibitors. Amylase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down and increased the absorption of starches (carbohydrates).
By decreasing the activity of Amylase, Wite Kidney Beans are able to significantly reduce the number of carbohydrates the body can uptake. This results in greater excretion of glucose, along with lower insulin response.
Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia Cambogia is a tree that's native to Southeast Asia and India. The fruit it produces, specifically the fruit rind, is rich in a chemical called Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). HCA is the main bioactive constituent that's attributed to Garcinia Cambogia's health benefits.
HCA is able to promote weight loss by decreasing appetite, enhancing fat burning, and decreasing the formation of fat in the body (Lipogenesis). Moreover, Garcinia Cambogia is anti-inflammatory and has the potential to increase insulin sensitivity, leading to improved bloody sugar control over time. The specific extract of Garcinia Cambogia used in GDA+ is standardized to contain at lease 50% HCA to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Glucomannan
Glucomannan is a water-soluble fiber that's derived from the Konjac root. Fiber is not only great for overall digestive health, but it can also decrease the absorption of carbohydrates, Cholesterol, and fats by binding them in the gastrointestinal tract. Soluble fiber works by forming a gel-like substance by drawing water into the digestive system, thus adding bulk to your stool.
Besides increasing the excretion of carbohydrates, fats, and cholesterol, Glucomannan may improve satiety, lipid profiles, glycemic control, and reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Glucomannan seems to be more effective for weight loss than other types of soluble fiber, which is why we use it in GDA+.
Digeseb™
Digeseb™ is a proven and effective enzyme blend developed by specialty enzyme & probiotics. Digeseb™ is included in Home Made to significantly improve the digestion and absorption of all the nutrients. Digestive enzymes are essential for digestive health and supplementing with them can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues, such as gas, bloating, and heartburn.
Here's an overview of the substrate that each enzyme helps break down:
- Amylases - Breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates)
- Lactase - Breaks down lactose (milk sugars)
- Proteases - Breaks down protein
- Lipase - Breaks down lipids (fats)
- Cellulase - Breaks down cellulose (a polysaccharide in plants)
GS4 Plus®
GS4 Plus® is a patented Gymnema Sylvestre Extract that's standardized to contain at least 75% Gymnema acids. GS4 Plus® was developed by Sabinsa Corporation.
Gymnema Sylvestre is a plant that's native to parts of Africa, India, and Australia. It's leaves have been used for thousands of years in Ancient Medicinal practices to treat various ailments. Today, GS4® is most commonly used for its powerful anti-diabetic properties.
Supplementing with GS4® may:
- Decrease sugar creating by lowering your perception of sweetness
- Reduce blood sugar levels
- Improve blood lipid levels by lowering triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels
Bioperine®
Bioperine® is a patented Black Peper Extract that's standardized to contain at least 95% Piperine, which is the main bioactive constituent. Bioperine® improves the effectiveness of GDA+ by enhancing the bioavailability and absorption of each ingredient. Since some dietary ingredients aren't readily absorbed by the small intestine, we included Bioperine® to help you get the most out of GDA+. Bioperine® was developed by Sabinsa Corporation.
Bioperine® may:
- Enhance bioavailability and absorption
- Improve effectiveness
- Boost thermogenesis
