Look better, Feel better- XcessTrim™ is a unique weight loss supplement that is all natural, ephedra free, scientifically formulated from ingredients clinically proven to boost metabolism, and control appetite by increasing seratonin levels. H&N HERBS' weight loss formula comprises thermogenic substances, an adrenal support substance, and a blood sugar regulation substance. As thermogenic substances, to increase metabolism and accelerate calorie expenditures, Guarana, Citrus aurantium, Green tee extract and White willow bark were selected. Astragalus was chosen as an adrenal support substance, to maintain and/or improve adrenal functions and to reduce stress. Super CitriMaxTM (chromium polynicotinate) was chosen as the blood sugar regulator and weight loss aid. In a randomized double blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial, conducted at Georgetown University Medical Center, Super CitriMax™ was found to significantly reduce weight in overweight people, to increase fat burning, to reduce Body Mass Index (indicator of healthy body weight), to lower cholesterol, and to increase serum Serotonin levels*. Guarana is a product from the dried seeds of the Amazonian Paullinia cupana that is rich in caffeine and is used in Brazil for the production of stimulants, soft drinks, and sweets. Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is a potent source of antioxidants, sipping green tea regularly may help to prevent various types of diseases. Because green tea contains astringent tannin compounds, it may ease indigestion and stomach upset. Swiss researchers reported preliminary evidence that green tea accelerates the burning of fat calories in people who are overweight. A 1999 small study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation in men who took a green tea extract as opposed to a placebo or caffeine alone. The bark of the willow tree (Salix alba) has been used in China for centuries to alleviate pain and fever. Willow bark is said to have thermogenic properties and can boost metabolism. Astragalus (astragalus membranacea) is one of the important Chinese medicinal herbs, which are widely used and well known for its invigoration of vital energy. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a natural spice that is also widely prized for its medicinal properties. Since ancient times, traditional healers have used ginger to help upset stomach, and control nausea. Ginger's effectiveness as a digestive aid is due largely to its active ingredients gingerols and shogaols, which help to neutralize stomach acids and tone the muscles of the digestive tract. Citrus aurantium, also known as bitter orange or Zhi Shi, has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. Citrus aurantium contains five adrenergic (resembling epinephrine) amines: synephrine, octopamine, hordenine, tyramine and N-methyl tyramine. Citrus aurantium can help burn fat, build lean muscle mass and increase physical performance. Magnesium plays a variety of roles in the body. It is critical for energy production and proper nerve function, it also promotes muscle relaxation and helps the body produce and use insulin. Vitamin B6 takes part in producing brain neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) such as serotonin, in releasing energy stored in cells, and helps to keep hormones in balance and the immune system functioning properly. *The FDA has not evaluated these statements.
