        Facts about Weight Loss and Fat Burning
        
         Nine out of ten Americans 
        today want or need to lose weight. As a nation, we are 30% heavier than 
        we were 20 years ago. The fat-free, low calorie hit or miss programs advocated 
        in the past have obviously not worked, and people are looking for other 
        answers. In response to this demand, a number of amazing new nutrients have 
        recently come to market.   
        Advantra Z, a patent-pending 
        extract of zhi shi (the immature dried fruit of citrus aurantium, or bitter 
        orange) is a perfect example of this. Zhi shi has been used for thousands 
        of years in traditional Chinese medicine with great results and absolutely 
        no reported adverse effects. Advantra Z is the only form of zhi shi on the 
        market with a pending formulation and use patent for burning fat, increasing 
        physical performance, and building lean muscle mass. Research shows that 
        it stimulates the beta-3 receptors, thereby increasing the rate of at which 
        unwanted fat is released from body stores (lipolysis). It also safely increases 
        the resting metabolic rate (thermo genesis).  
        Another cutting edge 
        nutrient, RiboCell™, has been shown to initiate and speed up the metabolic 
        process responsible for creating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which leads 
        to enhanced muscular energy and rapid recuperation.   
        Chromium, an important 
        trace mineral that is badly depleted during processing or refining of grains, 
        is essential for proper carbohydrate metabolism, fat burning, and insulin 
        regulation. Studies have also shown that chromium may reduce high blood 
        pressure and reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.  
        Finally, for anyone 
        struggling with food cravings, Gymnema Sylvestre extract is a must. This 
        herb has an exciting reputation for reducing the desire for sweets. Eating 
        too much sugar – together with chromium depletion - is the cardinal cause 
        of America’s increasing diabetes and hypoglycemia epidemics.
