Thermo-Force is a safe and effective combination of key weight management herbs and nutrients. Thermo-Force is not habit-forming and contains no caffeine or stimulants. Calories are units used to express the amount of heat generated by a substance. These calorie dense or heat generating substances are the protein, sugars and fats in our foods. When we refer to calories in a food, we refer to the potential that a food has of producing heat. When we speak of burning calories, we are speaking of the "burning" of the food and the resultant loss of heat. When we exercise, the body uses up or "burns" calories. Weight loss is simply a question of burning more calories, or releasing

more heat, than we retai or consume. Thermogenic substances help generate heat or burn calories. Actually, they work just as if you were exercising. These thermogenic substances play an important role in helping individuals lose weight. They don't replace the need to exersice; but they do help increase the body's capacity to burn calories, particularly from fat. Unfortunately, some thermogenic aids, such as ephedra (Ma Huang) are not always safe. Luckily, there are natural and safe thermpgenic substances that help the body burn extra calories. Prairie Naturals named their original weight management formula Thermo-Force because one of its effects is to help increase thermogenesis - the burning of calories. This safe herbal weight management formula helps the body burn calories more effectively while reducing the absorption of fats and carbohydrates. Thermo-Force Supplies The Following: Hydroxycitric Acid  Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) is the active ingredient derived from the fruit and rinds of Garcinia cambogia, a native plant of India. Garcinia cambogia has been used extensively in traditional indian cooking as well as for medicinal purposes. When taken as a dietary supplement, Hydroxycitric Acid has been shown to effectively curb the appetite, suppress food intake and inhibit lipogenesis. Lipogenesis is the process by which the body produces and stores fat and cholesterol. Inhibition of this process can result in the regulation of obesity without the often dangerous side effects of pharmaceutical weight management substances. Hydroxycitric Acid helps block the absorption of fat through a process called competitive inhibition. The normal metabolism of carbohydrates in the liver directs some of these calories into the production of fats by way of the enzyme ATP citrate lyase. Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) inhibits this enzyme and by doing so also reduced the formation of acetyl co-enzyme A, a biochemical which plays a key role in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. This results in a slowing of the production of LDL's and triglycerides. At the same time, energy that would have been used in fat production is diverted to the production of glycogen in the liver. HCA helps increase the body's capability to store glycogen in the muscles and liver, subsequently minimizing food cravings and suppressing the appetite. HCA is a safe, all natural substance that effectively works to suppress the appetite and reduce lipid production in the body. Ginger Ginger makes the body more "calorie" hungry by stimulating the production of ATP which increases body heat production. This uses extra calories, ultimately burning more fat. Ginger has been shown to have positive effects on blood fats and blood sugar. Fucus versiculosis Grown and cultivated from the ocean, Fucus versiculosis (Kelp) is a plant rich in virtually every mineral known to man. An analysis of Kelp shows it to contain 13 vitamins, 24 major & trace elements and 20 amino acids, including all essential ones. Kelp is particularly rich in iodine making it a potent gland food which helps to normalize thyroid gland function. Bromelain Pinapple Enzyme Bromelain is a naturally occuring protease-containing extract derived from pineapples. This enzyme has been widely used as a digestive aid because it easily and efficiently breaks down most protein. Bromelain supplementation has shown to be effective in aiding appetite suppresion, subsequently assisting in weight management. Uva Ursi Uva Ursi is a small evergreen shrub found in Northern United States and Europe. The main chemical compound in Uva Ursi is arbutin. The primary historic use of Uva Ursi is a diuretic and treatment for urinary tract infections, edema, and high blood pressure. Gymnema Sylvestre Gymnema Sylvestre is an ancient Ayurvedic herb native to the tropical forests of India. Several scientific studies have shown that an extract of the leaf of Gymnema Sylvestre may be an effective treatment for diabetes mellitus (Type II, non-insulin dependant) in conjunction with controlled dietary and lifestyle practices. Gymnemeic Acid, a component of the herb, helps to block the sensation of sweetness on the tongue. This dulling action may result in a lower caloric intake with meals. Vanadyl Sulfate Vanadyl Sulfate is a derivative of the trace element Vanadium. Several studies have noted that Vanadyl Sulfate may enhance many of the same anabolic processes controlled by insulin. Glucose and protein absorption into the tissues of the body is improved which helps the body's ability to regulate blood sugar and burn calories. The formula is also high in trace-elements that improve glucose and protein absorption into the tissues of the body helping to regulate blood sugar and burn calories. Because it does not contain kelp, dulse, or other concentrated sources of iodine, Thermo-Force can be used ny individuals who would otherwise avoid thermogenic supplements containing iodine.
