Burn Fat Safely

At the recent SupplySide West tradeshow, InterHealth Nutraceuticals Inc. (Benicia, CA) showcased its new weight management ingredient LOWAT, which clinical science shows may encourage weight loss over nine pounds in eight weeks.

The patent-pending Ayurvedic ingredient, derived from Piper betle and Dolichos biflorus, was also the subject of a presentation at the 51st American College of Nutrition Meeting in New York City, held earlier this month.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 50 patients were assigned to 900 mg LOWAT or placebo for
eight weeks. LOWAT was reported to significantly increase weight loss more than twice as effectively as placebo with weight loss of over nine pounds observed at eight weeks.

“We also measured two hormones – the fat-burning hormone, adiponectin and the hunger-inducing hormone, ghrelin,”
said Archana Chatterjee, MD, PhD, researcher at the Creighton University School of Medicine, who presented the study. “Adiponectin levels were significantly increased by 15% compared to placebo and ghrelin levels were significantly decreased by 17%,” said Dr. Chatterjee. “The increase in adiponectin is particularly compelling as this observation suggests a possible reduction in fat stores since adiponectin is inversely correlated with body fat percentage.”

Helps Change Fat into Fit

LOWAT™ is a patent-pending weight management ingredient consisting of Piper betle leaf and Dolichos biflorus seed extracts that has been clinically shown to promote weight loss. These natural extracts uniquely combine to target fat.
Clinical research has shown that LOWAT™ significantly increases serum adiponectin concentration, indicating a possible reduction in fat stores. Adiponectin, a hormone produced and secreted by fat cells, regulates the breakdown of fat.

Preliminary research suggests that LOWAT™ inhibits adipogenesis (generation and accumulation of fat in the fat cells) and increases lipolysis (breakdown of stored fat) in mature fat cells. LOWAT™ has been shown in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled research to significantly reduce body weight 2.4x better than placebo after eight weeks. While weight loss was already evident two weeks into the study, significant weight loss of around 9 lbs was seen at week eight.

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, eight-week study, 50 human subjects took 900 mg a day (300 mg 3x/day, 30 minutes before meals) of LOWAT™ or a placebo. All subjects followed a 2,000 calorie daily diet and walked for 30 minutes five days a week.

Results showed that LOWAT:

* Significantly decreased body weight 2.4x better than placebo at 8 weeks (p<0.00005) – 9.4 lbs compared to 3.9 lbs
* Reduced body weight as early as 2 weeks – 3.1 lbs compared to 1.7 lbs
* Significantly reduced BMI 2.4x better than placebo at 8 weeks (p<0.00005) – 1.66 kg/m2 compared to 0.71 kg/m2
* Reduced BMI as early as 2 weekss – 0.54 kg/m2 compared to 0.31 kg/m2

The supplemented group also showed a 15% increase in serum adiponectin concentration compared to placebo (p<0.05).
This observation suggests a possible reduction in fat stores in supplemented subjects since adiponectin promotes
the burning of fat for energy, maintains a high metabolic rate and is inversely correlated with body fat percentage.
The supplemented group also showed a 17% reduction in serum levels of the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin compared to
placebo (p<0.05). Better reduction in serum glucose and triglycerides was observed in the supplemented group compared
to placebo.

The study is pending publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Extensive safety research has been conducted already on the ingredients, according to the company.

This looks very promising since old mature fat cells are the hardest to lose and generally only a ECA stack works on the older fat, but the side affects of this is very dangerous if not done properly. This product only affects the CNS slightly which is positive, we need to keep our eyes on this, this could be a winner.

Interesting new weight loss program available, called The Diet Solution Program, you can click below and watch the videos, very good logical system.
