Ingredients in Zero Gravity
Whole Organic Grapefruit Concentrate:
Whole organic grapefruit is one of nature's richest
source of antioxidants, bioflavanoids, enzymes and fiber. It is
high in pectin a soluble fiber that helps lower blood cholesterol.
The whole grapefruit concentrate in one daily serving (3 caplets)
of Zero Gravity, contains the key nutrients found in 2-3 normally
eaten grapefruits. The complete combination of pectin, seeds and
peel of the whole grapefruit, actively inhibits enzymes in the
intestinal tract which are responsible for the conversion of
carbohydrates into storable fats. This action is naturally
accomplished without disturbing the uptake of necessary
micronutrients such as vitamin C, potassium and folic acid -
overcoming the typical drawbacks of standard diet products and
pharmaceuticals that may leave the dieter with a nutrient
deficiency. Studies confirm that grapefruit decreases the risks of
heart disease by reducing high cholesterol as well as
atherosclerosis. Grapefruit is proven to aid in the reduction of
fat by inhibiting the enzyme (P450) responsible for the absorption
of carbohydrates. In addition, grapefruit peel contains a
remarkable compound called sinefrin which eliminates fat cells in
human tissue, and increases tissue density measured as leanness.
Grapefruit pectin has demonstrated its ability to lower blood
sugar levels in diabetics by reducing carbohydrates that enter the
bloodstream, which in turn lessens the amount of sugars being
absorbed. Pectin is also shown to prevent sudden blood sugar
spikes.
Blueberry Leaf Extract:
Blueberry Leaf Extract contains significant pharmaceutical amounts
of both chlorogenic and caffeic acids (20%). New studies have
shown that taken together, these unique compounds help to
simultaneously reduce glucose absorption the intestines, decrease
glucose synthesis in the liver, and speed up the rate of glucose
metabolism. Residents of the Caucasia region of the former Soviet
Union have traditionally taken medicinal teas infused with leaves
of the blueberry plant, as a Self treatment for blood sugar
imbalances, diabetes and hypoglycemia. Blueberry leaf extract is
proven to reduce total cholesterol an LDL levels. Whereas common
"statin" cholesterol medications actually diminish CoQ10, vitamin
E and carnitine activity in the body, potentially creating
deficiencies in these important nutrients.
Sea Vegetable Extract: Sea
vegetables harvested from the Canary Islands off the coast of
Africa, contain large quantities of fiber (45% fucoidans) known to
absorb fat soluble toxins which are dumped into the bloodstream
when dieting. Sea vegetables possess a variety of compounds such
as alginates, that have the ability to bind with these toxins and
escort them out of the body. Brown seaweed improves thyroid
function, aids in detoxification, and balances blood sugar and
cholesterol levels.
Rhododendron caucasium:
Alpine tea made from Rhododendron caucasium is enjoyed daily by
residents of the Republic of Georgia, well known throughout
history as some of the healthiest and leanest people in the world.
Rhododendron caucasicum is high in polyphenolic antioxidants (40%
polyphenols), which specifically inhibits the action of the lipase
enzyme that interferes with fat metabolism. Unlike the standard
pharmaceutical fat blockers like Orlistat (Xenical®) and other
dietary formulas such as Chitosan, Rhododendron caucasium does not
bind with fat or remove important fat soluble vitamins. In fact,
Rhododenron caucasicum exerts a profound antioxidant effect in the
body which many experts believe is several times more bioavailable
than pine bark or grape seed extracts.
Rhodiola rosea (3% Rosavin):
Originally grown in harsh Russian climates, Rhodiola
rosea is a hardy root whose medicinal properties function as the
quintessential adaptogen. Also known as the "Arctic Root",
Rhodiola rosea is a powerful anti-stress, mood and memory
enhancing herb, which according to Dr. L. Utkin a well known
Russian botanist and nutritionist, has the added ability to
increase physical endurance and sexual performance. Nicknamed the
"ginseng alternative", Rhodiola rosea is said to be more effective
than St. Johns wort, Ginkgo biloba and Panax ginseng as a
phyto-medicine, as proven by noted plant biochemist Dr. Zakir
Ramazanov. Based on 30 years of scientific research, Rhodiola
rosea specifically activates and regulates hormone sensitive adi-
pose lipase in both healthy and obese patients, while it mobilizes
fatty acids from the adipose tissue.
When Rhodiola rosea and Rhododendron caucasium are combined
in amounts as contained in a daily serving of Zero Gravity, the
synergistic effect is impressive. Including Rhodiola rosea and
Rhododendron caucasium in your diet, one can reduce body fat
without losing muscle tissue.
Magnolia Extract (5%
Magnolol): In many traditional Chinese herbal formulas
from the Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue eras (220 A.D.), Magnolia
bark was frequently used and documented in famous herbal texts
over the centuries. It is a popular ingredient in numerous
patented Chinese herbal remedies used for digestive system
disorders, abdominal bloating and discomfort. Magnolol has been
successfully used as a cholesterol lowering agent in the treatment
of high cholesterol and atherosclerosis. Magnolol, isolated from
magnolia bark, contains optimal levels of naturally occurring
perilipin inhibitors, a key factor in weight loss. The most
impressive pharmacological properties were recently discovered by
Dr. Seu-Mei (2000), who demonstrated that magnolol significantly
reduces lipid droplets, which act as storage for fat triglycerides
in adipose tissue. The lipase enzyme forms a "protein shell"
(called perilipin) around the lipid droplets, thereby blocking the
bodies ability to breakdown fat. Thus, natural perilipin
inhibitors such as magnolol are an important, necessary function
in healthy weight management.
The UltraZorbe Time Released Caplet Delivery System
The UltraZorbe (Ultra-absorption) caplet delivery system,
is a revolutionary technology which allows all nutrients and
ingredients in Garden of Life products to retain their maximum
nutritive content, viability, "live food" and herbal properties.
This is accomplished without the use of heat, animal products,
traditional fillers or excipients. The UltraZorbe time released
system used in Zero Gravity is designed to slowly disintegrate and
dissolve over one hours time, thus releasing the desired nutrients
in the most effective manner.
WARNING: Zero Gravity contains grapefruit which may have
potential reactions with certain medications. As always, check
with your physician or pharmacist before using.
