Ingredients
|
| Zenimex contains Chromium Polynicotinate , which is a form of chromium, an essential trace mineral that is needed for the body's production of insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that stabilizes the body's blood sugar level. |
| |
| Zenimex also contains Guarana , a stimulant derived from the seeds of the Brazilian Guarana plant. Guarana is used to increase alertness and help fight fatigue. It contains caffeine and is usually associated with an "energy crash" several hours after taking a large dose.
|
| |
| Zenimex has Gymnema Sylvestre , also known as Gurmar and Meshashringi, or 'sugar destroyer'.
Gymnema Sylvestre leaves have a blood sugar lowering effect. The leaf extracts also contain gymnemic acid which inhibits hyperglycemia and also acts as a cardiovascular stimulant.
Gymnema Sylvestre is commonly used to remove the taste of sugar, therefor reducing cravings for sweets. |
| |
| Zenimex includes Hoodia Gordonii , which although popular, has no published randomized controlled trials in humans to show hoodia is safe or effective in pill form.
One study published in the September 2004 issue of Brain Research found that injections of p57 (The Active ingredient in Raw, Fresh Cut Hoodia, not dried) into the appetite center of rat brains resulted in altered levels of ATP, an energy molecule that may affect hunger. The animals receiving the P57 injections also ate less than rats that received placebo injections.
However, this was an animal study and INJECTIONS IN THE BRAIN are very different from oral consumption, so it cannot be used to show that oral hoodia can suppress appetite in humans.
Hoodia Gordonii is a succulent (a cactus of the aloe family) found in the Kalahari desert of South Africa.
Most Hoodia Gordonii products contain very little, if any of the active ingredient needed to suppress hunger. Real Hoodia is very rare and is even an endangered plant.
Most importantly, Hoodia has only demonstrated any effect in fresh, raw pieces of the plant. The effectiveness of powdered Hoodia has yet to be shown and may actually increase hunger.
It's main use is as a cheap alternative to the more expensive weight loss herbs, which are the only alternative left after the banning of ephedra. Most supplement manufacturers can not use the more expensive weight loss herbs because it will result in a product that would be too expensive to compete with other more popular inexpensive diet supplements. |
