Bitter fruit gives sweet results
A key ingredient in Total Control ™ is
citrus aurantium–also called bitter
orange or zhi shi. Although well
known as a health supplement in
traditional Chinese medicine, it is only
recently that the extraordinary value
of citrus aurantium for weight loss
has come to light.
Lose fat without losing your cool
Studies show that citrus aurantium
increases the body’s resting
metabolic rate and encourages the
release of stored fat for energy
production.* What makes this
botanical so unique is that it appears
to increase thermogenesis without
stimulating the central nervous
system.* As a result, it encourages
the body to burn calories at a faster
rate without creating a feeling of
nervousness or “jitters.”*
Botanical synergy helps
accelerate weight loss
In addition to citrus aurantium, Total
Control ™ boasts a number of other
important botanicals and nutrients for
weight loss, including DL-phenylalanine,
tyrosine, coleus, damiana, green tea,
cocoa and yerba mate, plus more
than 10 additional herbs that support
weight management and enhance
overall health and well-being.*
Tea for thermogenesis
According to a study conducted at the
University of Geneva in Switzerland,
green tea has a thermogenic effect in
the body, increasing the rate at which
calories are burned.* Participants
who were given green-tea extract
showed a significant increase in daily
caloric expenditure, as compared
with the placebo group. This study
concluded that the increase in
thermogenesis was due to the high
amount of catechins present in green
tea. Green tea is also known for its
energy-boosting properties.*
Miraculous mate
As popular as coffee is in North
America, yerba mate is the preferred
beverage in many South American
countries. It is enjoyed for its ability to
improve mood, increase mental
alertness and help combat fatigue.*
Dieters appreciate yerba mate tea for
its ability to take the edge off
appetite.* It contains substances
known as xanthines, which enhance
thermogenesis and encourage fat
metabolism.* Yerba mate also acts as
a mild aquaretic and provides a
pleasant energy boost.*
For the love of chocolate
Cacao (also known as cocoa) is the
same plant from which chocolate is
made. It contains alkaloids known to
support weight loss in a couple
of ways.* First, theobromine,
theophylline and small amounts of
caffeine stimulate fat burning and
increase energy production.* In
addition, cacao contains natural
mood elevators, such as
phenylethylalanine (PEA), which
create a response in the brain and
nervous system similar to the
experience of falling in love.* Cacao
extract helps dieters enjoy the moodimproving
properties of chocolate
without the additional calories!
Become a fat burner
The herb coleus contains an active
ingredient called forskolin, which
induces a chain of biochemical
reactions that trigger fat burning.*
Experts believe it works by increasing
amounts of cyclic adenosine
monophosphate (AMP)–an important
substance associated with energy
production. Studies suggest that
coleus reduces the size of fat cells by
encouraging fat cells to give up their
stores of fatty acids for energy
production.*
Feeling full and satisfied
Three Total Control ™ ingredients in
particular help reduce appetite and
enable dieters to overcome the
problem of cravings–DL-phenylalanine
(DLPA), tyrosine and damiana.* DLPA
is an amino acid that encourages the
release of cholecystokinin (CCK)–a
chemical associated with feeling full.*
In addition, DLPA acts as a precursor
to the brain chemical dopamine, which
enhances mood and reduces hunger.*
Tyrosine is also an amino acid, a
precursor to the brain chemicals
dopamine, epinephrine, and
norepinephrine. These brain chemicals
help reduce appetite.* Tyrosine works
synergistically with DL-phenylalanine
(DLPA) because the body generates
tyrosine from DL-phenylalanine. The
addition of tyrosine means that more
DL-phenylalanine can be utilized to
help control appetite.*
Damiana is an herb that has been
shown to slow down the rate at which
the stomach contents empty into the
intestinal tract, thereby prolonging a
feeling of fullness.* In addition, Total
Control ™ contains cinnamon bark
which has been shown to support
sugar metabolism and reduce sugar
cravings.* By helping to fight cravings
and control appetite, these ingredients
make weight loss simple.
Antioxidant protection
The bioflavonoid quercetin is a
powerful antioxidant that is known to
support fat metabolism.* Because of
its antihistamine properties, it also
may help reduce the stimulating
effects of caffeine from green tea
even in caffeine-sensitive individuals.*
