What are the ingredients?

Each patch contains a powerful proprietary blend of highly-effective herbs, for example, Fucus Vesiculosus which burns fat and has been been widely researched and accepted by the UK Medicines Control Agency (MCA) as a suitable active ingredient for oral administration in herbal medicines, with a medical claim for the treatment of obesity. Inclusion in publications such as The Homeopathic Review, Allen's Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica, the Pharmacopeia by the American Institute of Homeopathy, and the United States Homeopathic Pharmacopeia adds weight to its efficacy.

Full Ingredient information:

Fucus Vesiculosus

A natural sea plant extract that has been used for hundreds of years by traditional healers worldwide to aide varying ailments. More recently it has been used by both herbalists and conventional practitioners to help in weight control.

5 HTP

During dieting, serum tryptophan levels and CNS serotonin levels drop dramatically. These low serotonin levels in obese patients have been associated with carbohydrate cravings and resultant binge eating. 5-HTP can help prevent this dieting-associated decline in serotonin, thus enhancing weight loss. Three clinical trials in obese patients have demonstrated decreased food intake and subsequent weight loss with 5-HTP supplementation.

Guarana:

An extract of the Guarana plant, which was original used by Amazonian Indians as a stimulant and a treatment for stress.

Zinc Pyruvate

Technically, pyruvate is really a combination of highly unstable pyruvic acid and other substances like calcium, sodium or potassium, added to stabilize pyruvic acid. This new compound is used to enhance fat burning, boost endurance, increase lean muscle mass, decrease blood glucose and lower blood cholesterol.

Yerba Mate

Is an evergreen member of the holly family, it grows wild in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Brazil, but is most abundant in Paraguay, where it is cultivated. In 1964 one group of investigators from the Pasteur Institute and the Paris Scientific Society concluded that Yerba Mate contains nearly all of the vitamins necessary to sustain life. Yerba Mate is often used as a staple food, sometimes substituting for such important foods as bread and vegetables. It easily eliminates the sensation of hunger and can impart as much invigoration as a full meal, according to the well-known Chilean herbalists J. Zin and R. Weiss.

Flaxseed Oil

Despite all the concern about fat in our diet, the body does require fat to function. The problem is that most people are getting the wrong kinds of fats in their diet and are lacking the so-called “good” fats in their diets. The human body cannot function properly without two polyunsaturated fats - linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid. These fatty acids, which are found in Flaxseed Oil are essential to normal cell structure and body function.

Lecithin

Contains Choline & Inositol which are essential for the breakdown of fats and cholesterol. It helps prevent arterial congestion and distribute bodyweight, increase immunity to virus infections, cleans the liver and purifies the kidneys.

L-Caritine

Facilitates the burning of fat for energy by making it possible for the long chain fatty acids it transports to enter the cell. If the fatty acids cannot reach the mitochondria where they are transformed to cellular energy, it stands to reason they are going to be deposited in places where the body will suffer from their presence, as happens in fatty liver disease, fatty build-up in the heart, and obesity, where fatty build-up occurs in the muscles.

Zinc Citrate

Zinc is required for many functions in the body, including growth, taste and smell, nucleic acid synthesis, keratin metabolism, sexual development and function in both genders, bone and joint metabolism, wound healing, brain development, nerve function and behavior, and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
