The Skinny on The Latest Weight-Loss Supplements
by John Joseph Walker, M.D.

My Weight Reduction Supplement Update
When I originally reviewed our weight reduction supplements, I focused on those supplements that could help diminish appetite and cut cravings. I did look at supplements that could increase metabolism, and thus discussed the use of Green Tea extract. However, many of you suggested that cravings are controllable, but low energy levels and inability to burn calories were a significant problem. That's why the Scientific Advisory Board of Nutraceutical Sciences Institute (NSI) researched safe ways of boosting energy and increasing the amount of calories burned. Well, great news! We have introduced several new weight-loss formulations that help you curb cravings, increase fat burning and boost your energy. Plus, there are some old favorites I'd like to mention that you may have forgotten about.

Let's start with...
5-HTP
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that works to help regulate your body's production of the brain chemical serotonin. This is an important chemical, because low serotonin levels can contribute to a poor mood/energy levels and the desire to consume more carbohydrates and sugars. Every NSI 5-HTP is "Peak X" free. "Peak X" was discovered by a group of researchers at the Mayo Clinic to be a contaminant appearing in 5-HTP supplements. This "Peak X" was linked to eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome ( EMS), a debilitating illness causing an elevated white blood cell count and severe muscle pain.

Glucomannan
This is a plant-based, calorie-free dietary fiber that may promote a fuller feeling and benefit colon/digestive health. Derived from the konjac root, glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber considered to be a "bulk-forming laxative." Plus, glucomannan helps support blood sugar levels, so you may be less tempted to indulge your sweet tooth.

Tonalin® XS-CLA™
A patented conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) formula for safe and effective weight loss with no harmful stimulants, as well as leaner muscles. CLA is a naturally occurring fatty acid, derived from safflower seeds. It may inhibit lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that breaks down fat from our diet so that it can be absorbed and stored in the body. You would think that inhibiting this enzyme is counterproductive, but the suppression helps reduce the amount of fat deposited and stored throughout the body. NSI features Tonalin, which contains 72-82% CLA-around 35% more than other brands. And let's welcome some of the "new kids" on the weight-loss block...

CortiMin
A balanced combination of several different nutrients to support healthy weight goals. You get a potent blend of standardized green tea extract, chromium and beta-sitosterol, 5-HTP and banaba leaf. And unlike similar supplements, CortiMin does not contain bitter orange or magnolia.

My Conclusions and Recommendations
There are safe and natural alternatives to dangerous prescription diet medications and hazardous over-the-counter supplements. The supplements listed above are all safe (in the appropriately recommended dosages) and can help you achieve your goal of weight reduction. Although none of these alone is ideal, the combination of these products may yield greater results then the individual. I cannot stress enough the importance of a healthy diet, adequate water intake and exercise, in addition to appropriate nutritional supplementation.
