A tropical fruit also known as the Malabar Tamarind, is a popular weight loss supplement. It is said to block ability of the body to make fat and puts the brakes on appetite. Loss of excess body weight could help keep blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check. You will find it in bottles on the shelf at the store as well as mixed with other ingredients in dietary supplements. Some research has found that garcinia cambogia may improve cholesterol levels, lower triglycerides and LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) and raise HDL (the “good” cholesterol). The rind of the Cambogia fruit contains Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) which is widely used in anti-obesity drugs. It appears to block an enzyme called citrate lyase, which the body uses to make fat. It also raises levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which may make you feel less hungry and hence control appetite consequently resulting in weight loss.

Currently 355 million people worldwide suffer OA.

Osteoarthritis has often been referred to as a wear and tear disease of the joint tissues that involves the cartilage, joint lining and bone. 80 % of people over the age of 55 have some X-ray evidence of the disorder. OA has also been attributed to all lifestyle-related joint concerns like in soccer players, strength trainers, tech workers performing texting, typing, tapping, strenuous manual labor and repetitive work-related motions. Arthritis has become the world’s number one disabling disease necessitating the use of mobility aids like canes, walkers and wheelchairs.

Potentiality of ingredients in this formula has been assessed with maximum research from literature and in these quantities have been found to be most effective with minimal possibility of side effects even after long term use.

In small amounts helps in moisturizing the skin and in preventing early signs of ageing. Low levels of potassium and sodium electrolytes make our skin vulnerable to dryness and dehydration.

Is important for several bodily functions, including processing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. Biotin is also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H. It is an essential vitamin that improves immune function of the body and keeps skin, hair and nails healthy. It plays a vital role in replenishing and strengthening hair and nails by supporting keratin, which is primarily what hair and nails are made of. It is essential for the activation of certain enzymes that are responsible for helping the body produce myelin, an insulating layer that wraps around nerves, allowing transmission of electrical impulses, hence helping with peripheral neuropathy of diabetic origin.

Inadequate biotin levels can result in brittle hair and nails, hair thinning, dry skin, a lower metabolism, fatigue, muscle pain, depression, digestive problems, weight gain and insomnia.

(HA) Is naturally produced in our body and is useful for strengthening skin, hair and nails. It is the key to keeping the skin healthy, hydrated, glowing & smooth, reduces wrinkles, evens skin tone and also helps with skin issues like eczema. HA reduces hair loss & provides vitality and volume to the hair. It is seen to improve joint and bone health and keeps them working smoothly. Endogenous production of this molecule declines with age, moreover our skin suffers damage on daily basis with chemicals in soaps and other body cleansers, climate, sun rays and environmental pollution hence taking supplemental hyaluronic acid is useful to save these tissues from damage.

It is clinically proven that Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body that lessens with age. Hydrolyzed Collagen is the best form of protein that easily breaks down into peptides when taken by mouth and is easy to digest and assimilate. It is better than regular collagen as it is more bioavailable. It is helpful for aging skin, hair health, brittle nails, muscle strength and overall body immunity, reducing degeneration of joint cartilage and thus limiting osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

A commonly used spice, is known to boost brain function through its active ingredient Piperine. It has shown proven results in improving brain health such as enhancing memory power and cognitive functions.

As a nutraceutical, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, in Ayurvedic medicine in India, as well as by modern herbalists as an adjuvant for its various anti-inflammatory properties. Tribulus, with the addition of Magnesium and Ashwagandha is the perfect mix for restoring energy, reinvigorating the body and increasing libido and fertility in men and women. There is no standard dose for this herbal supplement and no known level of toxicity however an intake of 200mg daily has been considered most effective and safe.

Is an herb with positive effects on stress, anxiety and mood. Multiple studies of the plant have shown that potent extracts of Ashwagandha produce anxiety-relieving effects that are as powerful as many commonly used anti-depressants, without any side effects. Ashwagandha has life-extending properties.

Whereas Ginseng has more stimulating effects on the nervous system Ashwagandha is considered more calming and relaxing. Ashwagandha is generally safe for most people; however pregnant women, people with stomach ulcers, and those with liver disease should take precautions.

Commonly known as ginkgo or gingko, also known as the maidenhair tree, is a species of gymnosperm tree native to China. It is widely used in Europe for treating dementia. At first, doctors thought it helped because it improves blood flow to the brain. Now research suggests it may also protect nerve cells that are damaged in Alzheimer’s disease. Several studies show that ginkgo has a positive effect on memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia. It may also protect memory in older adults. Preliminary studies have also suggested it may be useful in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Is an herb that is rich in antioxidants. Research suggests that it may offer benefits for brain health, immune function & ‘Qi’-boosting effect (Qi, is a Chinese term pronounced as Chi and means Energy). Korean Ginseng (Panax Ginseng ) is the world number one ginseng brand and has been chosen for this supplement.  It is thought to stimulate the nervous system and enhance cognitive performance. Preliminary research suggests it may help with neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and strokes. A number of studies have demonstrated that ginseng has antioxidant effects and may help protect against liver injury caused by viruses, toxins and alcohol. Plus it may boost liver cell regeneration after surgery. It could take as little as 24 hours or up to 48 hours to notice a difference in your general well-being.

A plant in the ginger family is native to Southeast Asia and is grown commercially in that region. Turmeric is a common spice and a major ingredient in curry powder. It has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties because of which it lessens soreness & discomfort and hence helps in reducing joint pains and arthritis. It also fights against free radicals and thus lowers risk of heart disease and cancer. Its anti-inflammatory effect helps in Alzheimer’s, improves memory and reduces depression.

Is a moderate to large sized branching tree that grows in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Clinical studies have shown that Boswellia serrata extract not only has anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties it also inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors.  These anti-inflammatory effects of Boswellia Serrata have been investigated for their benefits in osteoarthritis (OA) and it appears that oral Boswellia supplements can suppress pain and immobility associated with OA quite significantly with the effects taking as little as a week to occur.

Is a chemical that occurs naturally in humans, as well as in some green plants and animals. It can also be made in the lab. MSM might supply sulfur to make other chemicals in the body. Thanks to its anti-aging and skin, hair, and nail enhancing properties it is called “Nature’s Beauty Mineral”. MSM is commonly used for osteoarthritis, pain, swelling, aging skin, hay fever and is now also gaining recognition for its energy-boosting, workout recovery, gut health and immune-supporting effects.

Is a West African evergreen tree. The tree bark contains several indole alkaloids including yohimbine which is the main active constituent of yohimbe. Yohimbine has hyperadrenergic physiological effects because it acts as an alpha-2 receptor antagonist yohimbe for weight loss and/or its effect on body mass.

Is a popular beverage consumed worldwide that has several purported health benefits. Green tea is present in some dietary supplements, frequently in the form of green tea extract. The active components of green tea that is associated with weight loss is caffeine. Green Tea increases energy expenditure and fat oxidation, reduces lipogenesis and fat absorption.

Inhibit fat accumulation and modulate glucose metabolism when used in conjunction with Green Tea.

Glucomannan is a dietary fiber usually made from the root of the konjac plant. It has historically been used as food and medicine in Asian cultures. Several studies have shown that Glucomannan is specifically effective in reducing appetite leading to significant weight loss and controlling obesity. Glucomannan has also been investigated for its effects on diabetes, constipation, cholesterol levels, lung cancer, and atopic diseases as well as its use as a prebiotic.

The polysaccharide is also believed to cause weight loss by promoting satiety, delaying gastric emptying time, slowing small-bowel transit time, attenuating postprandial insulin surges, and increasing levels of plasma cholecystokinin. By increasing the viscosity of the intestinal contents and slowing gastric emptying time, glucomannan is able to reduce postprandial glucose levels and attenuate insulin surges.

Vitamin C plays a vital role in your body. It is a water-soluble vitamin which means your body does not store it. It would be best if you had a continuous supply of it daily to live a healthy life and avoid chronic conditions. Your body cannot make its own vitamin C, so getting enough through diet is crucial. One medium size Naval Orange weighing 96 gms and about 2-3/8” in diameter generally has 50-80 mg of Vit. C which is close to the recommended daily intake which is sufficient for normal functioning of the body and is available in this supplement.

is popular for its ketogenic benefits. Also known as a ketone body, BHB may help fuel the heart, muscles and brain during periods of low carbohydrate intake. Its energy-boosting properties could aid in exercise and mental performance while in the keto-adaptation period.

As the primary ketone body found in the blood during the process of ketosis, BHB is used as fuel by the mitochondria after being converted into acetoacetate and then to acetyl-CoA, an enzyme that works endlessly during metabolic processes to provide us with energy.

At some point growing up, you must have been told that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a type of vinegar made with crushed fermented apples, yeast, and sugar. It is used as an ingredient in foods such as salad dressings, pickles and marinades. Vinegars are an excellent source of potassium, magnesium, calcium & phosphorus. The amount of Apple Cider in daily serving is (247 mg) which is equivalent to 5 ml of Apple Cider Liquid. ACV is effective because of its content of acetic acid which can be a gastric irritant as far as available literature on this ingredient is concerned; it appears that a relatively small dosage of ACV is sufficient to obtain the desired result without compromising safety.

ACV seems to have properties that could potentially support your weight-loss efforts. A 2013 study from the Journal of Functional Foods suggests that drinking apple cider vinegar before eating is linked to smaller blood sugar spikes. Another 2010 study from the Annals of Nutrition & Metabolism shows that having two teaspoons of ACV during meal time could help reduce sugar crashes and keep blood sugar levels stabilized. Why this happens is not totally clear, but nutrition researchers like Carol Johnston Ph.D., who has studied ACV at Arizona State University for years, suspects that compounds in the vinegar interfere with the absorption of some starches. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jff.2013.08.003

Apart from the use of ACV in regulating blood sugar, inhibiting abrupt rise of blood sugar after meals & supporting healthy metabolism, it may lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, ease acid reflux, provide eczema relief, kill germs and improve hair health.

Is one of the building blocks of cartilage. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the joints breaks down and chondroitin sulfate is said to slow this breakdown and assists in its repair. It is widely used in the management of knee OA because of its high safety profile in the aging patient.

Glucosamine levels in the body drop with aging. Glucosamine plays a crucial role in the formation of healthy cartilage. It delays the breakdown of cartilage and helps in its repair thus playing a crucial role in the relief of pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. Studies have shown benefit of combination of Glucosamine, Chondroitin + MSM and Turmeric in cartilage damage & joint pain specially in the knees.
