Gymnema (“The Sugar Destroyer”)

Often called the “sugar destroyer,” Gymnema abolishes the taste of sugar by numbing receptors in your tongue.  It has been used by Ayurvedic healers to help support healthy blood sugar levels for thousands of years.  In addition, Gymnema supports a healthy metabolism and acts as a catalyst for the weight management activity of Garcinia.

Guggul (“The Fat Killer”)

A powerful resin extract that comes from the small, thorny mukul myrrh tree. It is known in Ayurveda for its ability to help rid the body of unwanted fat,  increase cellular fire, and support healthy cholesterol levels and liver function.

Turmeric (“The Regulator”)

One of the most widely studied botanicals today, turmeric is often combined with Amalaki because of the duos potency and power.  Turmeric has a natural cleansing effect and works to boost cardiovascular health by purifying the blood, regulating blood sugar levels, supporting healthy insulin levels, and promoting a healthy inflammatory response in the body.

Amalaki (“The Great Rejuvinator”)

Known as the “great rejuvenator,” Amalaki is revered for over 5,000 years in Ayurveda for its rejuvenating properties.  This super-food promotes energy and vitality, supports immune function, promotes the digestive system, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and has an overall rejuvenating effect on the body.  Amalaki contains an abundance of  beneficial antioxidants and  the most concentrated source of Vitamin C found in nature.  There are over 200 scientific studies to verify it’s potent properties.

Green Tea (“The Natural Booster”)

A powerful antioxidant, green tea contains high concentrated levels of EGCG that neutralize toxic free radicals within the body.  It also works to protect the DNA, regulate blood sugar levels, increase thermogenesis, and boost energy.

Haritaki (“The Great Cleanser”)

This date-like  fruit serves as a gentle and effective detoxifying agent for the body and is known to remove undigested food and impurities from the digestive tract.  Through its astringent taste, the Haritaki stimulates the metabolic fire of the cells and promotes the body’s ability to burn fat.

Cinnamon*

Cinnamon has a long history both as a spice and as a medicine.  Cinnamon aids with problems in the digestive system and is high in antioxidants.  Seasoning a high carb food with cinnamon can help lessen its impact on your blood sugar levels.  Cinnamon slows the rate at which the stomach empties after meals, reducing the rise in blood sugar after eating.

*Cinnamon is used in Vanilla Nutriiveda only

Cayenne**

Many herbalists believe that cayenne acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them. Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. Medicinally it aids in elimination and assimilation and promotes the entire digestion system. Nutritionally it is a very high source of Vitamins A and C, has the complete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium.
