KLB6 (Grapefruit Diet)

FORM: 90 Tablets

Kelp is one of the main ingredients in KLB6; it is one of the best weight-reduction vegetable based ingredients available for this purpose. It is the Iodine in Kelp that helps to maintain a healthy thyroid, which thereby significantly reduces one of the major causes of obesity, an under active, under fed thyroid. In addition, Kelp increases the body's ability to burn off fat through exercise since it helps to increase metabolism. It may boost your stamina allowing cells to consume energy more efficiently. Kelp, a sea vegetable, and has been utilized as a detoxifier and a functional food because it supplies a balanced range of minerals and other valuable nutrients. The iodine in KLB6 is transported directly to the thyroid gland where it is potentially converted into the hormone thyroxin, this hormone is the one that helps to regulate basal metabolism and therefore, is of use to those who wish to loose weight, and for those who have hit the wall. An under active thyroid and poor dietary habits are the leading causes of weight gain! So it would seem logical that anyone with an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism) would jump at the chance to include kelp in the daily regimen.

The lecithin in KLB6 is a lipid (fat like material) composed of choline and inositol, it is found in all living cells as a major component of cell membranes, which regulate the nutrients entering and exiting the cell. Taking lecithin daily also has other health benefits such as having the ability to decreased cholesterol levels or gallstone problems. Lecithin works by helping the body to emulsify fats that are ingested, this ensures that the fats are made available to the body in a form that it will be able to use quickly and efficiently. Other research on lecithin that has been conducted, shows that lecithin is also effective in helping to treat certain neurological and liver diseases.

The vitamin B6 in KLB6 is also known as Pyridoxine, it is an essential vitamin to aid in the formation of healthy red blood cells and supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. A water-soluble vitamin, vitamin B6 is needed to help release energy from the food we eat. Since it cannot be stored in the body, it must be obtained daily from either foods or supplements. So, how do you get Vitamin B6? You can find it in natural food sources such as potatoes, bread, meat, fish, eggs, beans, bananas, nuts, and sunflower seeds. But since much of the food that we consume today is nutrient depleted taking a supplement like KLB6 that contains the nutrient is a way to ensure an adequate intake. A vitamin B6 deficiency can eventually lead to insomnia, malfunctioning of the central nervous system, hormonal disturbances and more. This can lead to what is known as ‘nervous eating’ and an inability to utilize the calories that we do ingest. Vitamin B6’s role as a coenzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is what makes it important for dieters. Vitamin B6 is also responsible for the manufacture of hormones, red blood cells, neurotransmitters, enzymes, and prostaglandins. Vitamin B6 is required for the production of serotonin, a brain neurotransmitter that controls mood, appetite, sleep patterns, and sensitivity to pain. For weight loss, dieters should include vitamin B6 to increase their metabolism, and fill out the rest of their dietary needs with foods and other supplements that would help to sustain their health during this period.

The apple cider vinegar (ACV) in KLB6 has been used for hundreds of years as a folk remedy for many ailments. It is a strong acid that when taken causes an alkaline reaction in the body, which may have a direct effect on the bodies ability to eliminate stored water (water weight).
