Weight Management

Banaba for weight management
A new diet method = Sugar busters diet + Banaba
 
Do you think calorie calculation is the best diet method?
 
Have you ever been successful in diet by following the calorie mythology?
 
Few can keep up with restrictive low calorie diets and even if you succeed in losing weight, many suffer from yoyo syndrome.
 
Banaba teaHere, we introduce the latest diet method, “Sugar Busters!” diet from the US, and why many people have lost weight by banaba.The important theory of Sugar Busters diet is to control secretion of insulin.

Insulin
Insulin has some good effects on our bodies, such as regulating our blood sugar level, but the bad effects caused by the overproduction of this megahormone are certainly impressive.
 
Succinctly, insulin
 
1. causes our bodies to store excess sugar as fat.
 
2. signals our livers to make cholesterol
 
3. inhibits the mobilization of previously stored fat.
 
Obese people always have elevated insulin levels. Constant overeating excessively stimulates the pancreas and it causes a functional disorder called insulin resistance, in which the bodies need more insulin than usual. In the state of hyperinsulin, you cannot lose weight because the body become in the state of No.3.
 
In a clinical trial examining Banabamin tablet containing 95? water extract of banaba (Corosolia PBW), the following results were observed. The insulin level of the group of 13 subjects that secrete less insulin (less than 11µ/ml) rose by the average of 25% and the insulin level of the 11 subjects that secrete more insulin (more than 9µ/ml) dropped by the average of 32.6%.

Body FatBody fat
Recently, people stay away from fatty meat cookery and tend to think that pasta and bread are healthier. But is it true?
 
Few people worry about what happens if excessive carbohydrates (=sugar) are stored in the body. Some of sugar or glucose stay in blood to keep blood glucose level and others are stored in liver or muscle in the form of glycogen. But the rest of glucose is transformed into fat. In other words, the fat you eat doesn’t become fat of your body but sugar you have becomes fat. Besides, insulin stops lipolysis in which fat is retransformed into glucose.
 
That is to say, people with high insulin level hardly transform fat into energy. Therefore, they have a great difficulty to lose weight.
In the clinical trial above,
 
1. In the all of 24 subjects, the percentage of body fat deceased by the average of 4.0%
 
2. It should be noted that in the all of the 6 female subjects, the percentage of body fat decreased by the average of 8.3%.


What’s triglyceride? Triglyceride is produced in liver and becomes energy for the body. It is necessary for the body. If the triglyceride level is higher than the standard level, you are hyperlipemia. It is a life-style related disease as well as obesity. When you become hyperlipemia, your blood vessels keeps to be imposed a burden because your blood has more triglyceride than healthy people. Gradually, your blood vessels get lumps, and then eventually they get blocked. It is like rust in a water pipe. Hyperlipemia can cause circulatory diseases such as myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and so forth.
 
In the clinical trial above, the amount of triglyceride in blood dropped by the average of 7.0%. Especially, it decreased by the average of 22% in the 9 subjects that have more than 280mg/dl triglyceride in blood.

Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a material that makes body cell membrane. If your body doesn’t have cholesterol, body cell membrane can’t be made. It is also used as a material for steroid hormone. We need cholesterol to maintain the health of body. In the body, there is 100g-150g of cholesterol used for various parts of cell membrane to give it moderate stiffness and tension. When the cholesterol level is too high as well as when the triclyceride level is too high, you are hyperlipemia. It is a cause of arteriosclerosis.
In the clinical trial above, the cholesterol level decreased by the average of 4.8% in all of the 24 subjects. Notably, in the 10 subjects with higher cholesterol level (200mg/dl), it dropped by the average of 8.4%.
 
Corosolic acid that is contained in “Banaba” works like insulin to lower blood glucose level and adjust the secretion of insulin.
 
Yes, this is Sugar Busters! Diet!


 We need volunteers

We are currently looking for volunteers to participate in our clinical research for banaba. Volunteers must reside within Kansai or Kanto regions in Japan. Please contact our office at 0773-25-4411 for more information.Use Techno Corporation
