B VITAMINS take part in numerous chemical processes, including maintenance of blood sugar balance and assisting in normal cellular metabolism. UltraLean functional foods provide therapeutic levels of B vitamins and can be used as a meal replacement, between meals (for blood sugar balance), or with a small, well-balanced meal to achieve weight loss goals.†

SELECTED CITRATE MINERAL CHELATES: Minerals are critical to health and to the body’s ability to properly maintain stable blood sugar levels. However, for minerals to be of any therapeutic benefit, they must be absorbed. Selected minerals in UltraLean functional foods are presented as citrates to support cells’ metabolic and enzymatic efficiency.†

CHROMIUM levels found in the UltraLean functional foods, when consumed two to three times per day, have been shown to be nutritionally beneficial in balancing blood sugar levels, reducing serum triglyceride levels in insulin insensitive individuals, and balancing serum HDL levels. In addition, chromium is considered the key nutrient in glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which researchers believe increases insulin receptor sensitivity and enhances glucose transport into cells. Improving insulin sensitivity is key to enhancing fat cell metabolism and burning triglycerides as a fuel during a weight loss program.†

PHASEOLAMIN is a protein extracted from white kidney beans and is known to have anti-alpha amylase activity. Clinical trials in America, Italy, Japan, and Norway have shown a 66% to 75% reduction in starch absorption when phaseolamin is consumed. Placebo-controlled clinical trials found that overweight individuals consuming phaseolamin as part of their diet lost an average of half a pound per week while the placebo group lost only 0.1 pounds over four weeks.†

GUAR GUM has been added to assist in further flattening of the post-prandial glucose response. Guar gum appears to affect carbohydrate absorption by retarding the emptying of the stomach, inhibiting starch degradation, and reducing glucose absorption in the small intestine.† ...
