What is in Zylene - Ingredients

The following ingredients are in the new ephedra free diet pill Zylene. Zylene is the first diet pill that is just as potent as utilizing an ephedra diet pill.

Chromium:

is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose metabolism, regulation of insulin levels, and maintenance of healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium forms part of a compound in the body known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which is involved in regulating the actions of insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels and, possibly, in helping to control appetite. Increases insulin sensitivity*

* Reduces body fat*
* Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels*
* Increases lean body and muscle mass*

Resveratrol:

is a naturally occurring phytoalexin produced by some higher plants in response to injury or fungal infection. Phytoalexins are chemical substances produced by plants as a defense against disease. It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in grape skins and red wines. Resveratrol interferes with all three stages of cancer formation: initiation, promotion and progression. It is believed that Resveratrol is the reason that proves the French paradox, stating that despite the French having diets high in saturated fats, they suffer relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease. It is extracted from the shrub, Polygonum Cuspidatum.

Caralluma Fimbriata

is a succulent plant, in the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. Like hoodia gordonii, caralluma finbriata has been used to suppress appetite, and as a portable food for hunting. It is also sometimes considered a “famine food,” used during periods of famine to suppress appetite. For centuries, people in rural areas of India have eaten Caralluma Fimbriata, which grows wild over various parts of the country.

Hoodia Gordonii

is a cactus-like plant that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. The chemical constituents in Hoodia, P57, work within the satiety center by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose, but are up to 100,000 times more powerful. The hypothalamus receives this signal as an indication that enough food has been consumed and this in turn stunts the appetite.

* Appetite Suppressant*
* Promotes weight loss*
* May enhance mental performance

Garcinia Cambogia

is a natural form of Hydroxcitric acid (HCA) which can inhibit an enzyme in cells, citrate lyase, which is needed for the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. In the cell, carbohydrates are broken down into citrate compounds, which are then converted (by citrate lyase) into another compound; acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA)- the metabolic building block for fat synthesis. Garcinia can inhibit fat production and suppress appetite.

* Promotes weight loss*
* Suppresses appetite*
* Inhibits the conversion of carbohydrates into fat*
* May reduce blood lipids

Gymnema Sylvestre

is a herb native to the tropical forests of southern and central India and parts of Asia. It is used as a natural treatment for diabetes for nearly two millennia. The herb’s active ingredient, gymnemic acid, is extracted from leaves and roots, and helps to lower and balance blood sugar levels.

* Promotes weight loss*
* Suppresses appetite*
* Reduces “bad cholesterol”*
* Increases metabolism*
* Reduces blood sugar levels*

Eleutherococcus Senticosus:

is termed an adaptogen. An adaptogen is defined as a therapeutic and restorative tonic generally considered producing a “balancing” effect on the body. In general, an adaptogen can be thought of as a substance that helps the body to deal with stress. Its action in the body is due to its stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to secrete adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH has the ability to bind directly to brain cells and can affect a variety of behaviors in the body. These behaviors might include motivation, vitality, performance and arousal.

* Mood Enhancing*
* Promotes weight loss*
* Improves psychophysical performance*
* Hypoglycemic (reduces blood sugar)*
* Fights cancer and tumors*

Coix Seed:

is the seed of the herb Coix Lacryma-jobi produced mainly in Fujian, Hebei and Liaoning provinces. The whole plant is harvested in autumn when the fruit is ripe. The fruit is picked, husked and dried in sunlight. It is used as both a healing herb in traditional Chinese medicine, along with a food.

* Antioxidant effects*
* Anti-carcinogenic*
* Boosts immune system*
* Promotes weight loss*
* Reduces cancer pain*
* Anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and fever-reducing properties

Poria Cocos:

is a medicinal mushroom, widely used and highly respected in Asia. It’s almost unknown here in Western medicine. In the wild, Poria Cocos grows much like the gourmet delicacy, the European Truffle mushroom, only it grows around the roots of certain pine trees instead of oaks. In the traditional Chinese medicine, it is said to soothe the heart, strengthen vital energy, and assuage agitation. One of the reasons Poria Cocos is so highly valued is because, as with other mushrooms, the active compounds are extremely easy to digest and assimilate.

* Enhances, protects, and restores liver function*
* Modulates the immune system*
* Balances blood sugar*
* Boosts fat metabolism*

Cassia Seed:

is a herb that is said to be a warming tonic, similar in action to cinnamon. The Cassia tree is an ornamental evergreen that is indigenous to Burma and South China, with other species native to Sri Lanka, Java, Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia. Cassia grows both wild and cultivated in hot, wet climates in a minimum of fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit, and thrives in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. It’s one of the oldest spices known to mankind.

* Boosts the immune system*
* Anti-carcinogenic*
* Protects and detoxifies the liver*
* Aids in digestion*
* Anti-inflammatory*
* Increases energy levels

Lotus Leaf:

is better known as the water lily. It’s considered sacred in Asian religions for its ability to stay dry and clean. When water drops on the leaf, it beads up and rolls off the waxy surface, washing away dirt as it goes. Scientists have worked to mimic its water-repellent, self-cleansing properties, developing a simple, inexpensive ways to create similar synthetic coatings. The surface of the lotus leaf is not perfectly smooth, but rather porous much like that of a sponge. The air trapped in the crevices prevents water from adhering to the solid.

* Antioxidant effect*
* Reduces stress-induced behavioral depression*
* Lowers the risk of cancer*
* Helps the body synthesize collagen (fights wrinkles)*

Water Plantain:

Though its name suggests a similarity, it is in fact widely different to the Plantago species, and belongs to another natural order, Alismaceae. It’s a water-plant, widely distributed in Europe, Northern Asia, North America, and it’s abundant in many parts of England, though not naturalized in Scotland. It grows freely around the margins of lakes or streams and in watery ditches, in company with the forget-me-not, brooklime, and other well-known waterside plants.

* Has diuretic effects*
* Rids the body of excess water*
* Lowers blood pressure*
* Helps protect the bladder and urinary tract*
* Has antibacterial properties to treat infection

Cumquat:

was originally assumed to be a citrus but was later revealed to have a somewhat simpler structure than citrus and was allotted its own genus, Fortunella. Cumquats have a good measure of Vitamin C, plus potassium, and beta-carotene. And because the fruit is usually eaten whole, there is an extra nutritional boost from the peel and seeds.

* Increases energy levels
* Antioxidant effects*
* Helps absorb iron*
* Lowers “bad” cholesterol*
* Good remedy for a sore throat or a nagging cough*
* Helps treat indigestion, high blood pressure, and respiratory congestion*

Mulberry Leaf:

is a herb that is bitter and sweet in flavor, cold in nature and acts on the lung and liver channels. It yields in most parts of China, collected during the frost season, dried in sunlight, and used unprepared or stir-baked. Mulberry leaves are thin, glossy, and light green in color. The shape of the leaf can be quite variable even on the same tree, and are a popular food source to the silkworm.

* Fights arterial plaque*
* Improves eyesight*
* Helps combat diabetes*
* Helps control blood sugar*
* Protects blood-cell membranes*

Methionine:

is a sulfur containing essential amino acid and belongs to a group of compounds called lipotropics. It is important in the process of methylation where methyl is added to compounds as well as being a precursor to the amino acids cystine and cysteine. Improper conversion of methionine can lead to atherosclerosis. Methionine can occur at other positions in the protein, but during the creation of amino acid chains, methionine is always created first.

* Prevents liver damage*
* Anti-inflammatory effects*
* Promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails*
* Helps remove heavy metals from the body*
* Helps detoxify metabolic wastes and toxins*

Green Tea:

contains catechins, which are known to possess potent antioxidant activity. They may provide beneficial health effects by protecting the body from the damaging effects of oxidative damage from free radicals. The powerful antioxidant activity is about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. A number of chronic disease states have been associated with free radical induced oxidative damage, including cancer, heart disease, and suppressed immune function and accelerated aging.

* Reduces cholesterol & triglycerides*
* Anti-inflammatory*
* Enhances immune function*
* Enhances weight loss
* Antioxidant effects*
* Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease*

Pyruvate:

is a “salt” form of pyruvic acid- a 3-carbon molecule derived from the breakdown of glucose. In the body, glucose (6 carbons) is split into two pyruvic acid molecules in the end stages of cellular glycolysis. When enough oxygen is present, pyruvic acid can be converted into acetyl CoA in the mitochondrion of the cell to produce energy. Because glucose (the chief sugar used by cells for energy) is broken down body into pyruvic acid, an increased level of pyruvic acid in the body can enhance a cell’s ability to generate energy.

* Enhances weight loss and reduces weight gain*
* Decreases appetite*
* Elevated energy levels*
* May increase endurance levels and muscle glycogen*
* Improves heart function*
* Antioxidant effects*

Banaba Leaf:

is a deciduous evergreen that is native to East Asia, India, and Australia and has become established in the warmest parts of the United States and other areas of the world. Called the Crape Myrtle in the United States, its flowers are followed by a capsule-like fruit that produces seeds. These seeds provide food for many butterfly larvae, and the leaves are used as food and in herbal medicines.

* Helps control blood sugar levels*
* Alleviates diabetes symptoms*
* May reduce cholesterol levels and moderate liver lipid levels
