Slimbuterol - What is Banaba Leaf?
Banaba is an Asian medicinal plant that contains a triterpenoid compound, corosolic acid, which regulates the levels of sugar and insulin in the blood. Fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin are related to appetite and hunger, particularly cravings for carbohydrates such as bread and sweets. An interesting "side-effect" of tighter control of blood sugar and insulin levels is a significant tendency of Banaba to promote quick weight loss (an average of 2-4lbs per month), without significant dietary changes.
Slimbuterol - What is Gymnema Sylvestre?
Gymnema is an Asian plant whose name means "sugar killer" in Sanskrit. Gymnema suppresses glucose absorption and reduces sugar cravings. This powerful leaf extract contains Gymnema acids, which are known to suppress the transport of glucose from the intestine into the blood stream and a small protein, gurmar, that can interact with receptors on the tongue to decrease the sensation of sweetness in many foods. This dual action has been shown to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol levels in diabetic animals and humans and may provide some benefits in terms of regulating appetite control and food cravings. In fact, recent scientific studies have isolated at least nine different fractions of Gymnema acids which possess hypoglycemic activity. Gymnema also increases the effectiveness of insulin. As with other natural ingredients for control of blood sugar and insulin levels, such as Banaba leaf, a common "side effect" is quick weight loss, due to a combination of appetite suppression and control of food cravings (especially for carbohydrates and sweets).
Slimbuterol - What is Synephrine?
Synephrine is the main "active" compound found in the fruit of a plant called Citrus aurantium. Synephrine is a mild stimulant, providing an energy boost, suppressing appetite and increasing metabolic rate and caloric expenditure. Synephrine does not have the negative central nervous effects of ma huang (ephedra) or caffeine.
