INGREDIENTS
HERBALEAN PROPRIETARY BLEND
Chromium
is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose
metabolism, regulation of insulin levels, and maintenance of
healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium
forms part of a compound in the body known as glucose tolerance
factor (GTF), which is involved in regulating the actions of
insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels and, possibly, in
helping to control appetite.
· Lowers blood sugar
· Increases insulin sensitivity
· Reduces body fat
· Controls hunger / suppresses appetite
· Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels
· Increases lean body mass / muscle mass
Mahuang,
and its various herbal cousins, functions as a sympathomimetic,
meaning that it mimics some of the effects of the body’s own
sympathetic (stimulant) hormones such as epinephrine
(adrenaline) and norepinephrine (either by increasing the levels
of these hormones or by reducing their breakdown). Mahuang is a
“non-selective” sympathomimetic, which means that it acts as
a general stimulant on many parts of the body simultaneously
(lungs, heart, blood vessels, adrenal glands, etc.). It is most
often used as a central nervous system stimulant (for alertness
or energy), as a decongestant (for asthma/breathing aid) and as
an appetite suppressant in a wide variety of weight loss and
“thermogenic” type products.
- Increased alertness
- Speeds up metabolism
- Aids weight loss
- Enhanced athletic performance
- Mental sharpness
Paullinia sorbilis
comes from the seeds of a South American shrub, most of
which originates in Brazil. Traditional uses of paullinia
sorbilis by natives of the Amazonian rain forest include crushed
seeds added to foods and beverages to increase alertness and
reduce fatigue
· Increases energy levels / Reduces fatigue
· Enhances physical and mental performance
· Promotes weight loss
· Suppresses appetite
Lotus Leaf
helps to suppress appetite and promote lipolysis (the process of
breaking down fat into free fatty acids and glycerol). Lipolysis
must take place before fat can be burned.
· Suppresses appetite
· Enhances immune system
· Promotes weight loss
Hoodia Gordonii,
is the botanical name for a cactus like plant that
grows in Southern Africa. The chemical constituents in Hoodia,
P57, work within the satiety center by releasing a chemical
compound similar to glucose, but are up to 100,000 times more
powerful. The hypothalamus receives this signal as an indication
that enough food has been consumed and this in turn stunts the
appetite.
· Enhances physical and mental performance
· Promotes weight loss
· Suppresses appetite
Garcinia Cambogia
is a natural form of Hydroxcitric acid (HCA) which can
inhibit an enzyme in cells, citrate lyase, which is needed for
the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. In the cell,
carbohydrates are broken down into citrate compounds, which are
then converted (by citrate lyase) into another compound; acetyl
coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) – the metabolic building block for fat
synthesis. Garcinia can inhibit fat production and
suppress appetite.
· Promotes weight loss
· Suppresses appetite
· Reduces blood lipids
· Increases fat oxidation/mobilization
· Promotes glycogen synthesis
· Increases energy levels
White willow bark
is a source of salicin and other salicylates –
compounds which are similar in structure to aspirin (acetyl
salicylic acid). Native Americans are thought to have used
ground willow bark and bark steeped for tea as a medicinal
remedy for everything from pain relief to fevers. White
willow is thought to extend or increase the activity of several
thermogenic ingredients in elevating energy expenditure and
promoting fat metabolism.
· Pain reliever (headaches, arthritis, minor injuries)
· Fever reducer
· Anti-inflammatory
· Enhances weight loss (only in combination with other
ingredients)
Citrus bigardia
in traditional Chinese medicine is used to help
stimulate the Qi (energy force). Through its
stimulation of specific adrenergic receptors (beta-3, but not
beta-1, beta-2 or alpha-1), citrus bigardiai is theorized to
stimulate fat metabolism (which stimulates all beta-adrenergic
receptors).
· Increases metabolic rate
· Increases caloric expenditure
· Fat burner
· Promotes weight loss
· Increases energy levels
Konjac
has the ability to absorb up to 200 times its weight in
water. It can bind with a variety of substances in the
digestive tract to slow digestion, relieve constipation and
reduce the absorption of fat and carbohydrates. As such, Konjac
is often used in products intended to reduce blood cholesterol
and triglyceride levels as well as blood sugar.
· Lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels
· Reduces fat absorption
· Promotes blood sugar control
· Promotes feeling of fullness (satiety)
· Promotes weight loss
Bearberry
leaves contain compounds that have antibacterial and
diuretic properties. These compounds are absorbed via the
gastrointestinal tract, transported to the kidneys via the blood
and excreted from the body via the urine. If the urine is
alkaline (pH 8) these compounds are active, antibacterial
agents. It is theorized that these compounds also act as mild
diuretics and result in an increase in urine output.
· Urinary antiseptic (antibacterial effect in the urine)
· Diuretic (increases urine output)
· Treatment of cystitis (Inflammation of the bladder,
typically following a urinary tract infection)
· Treatment of pyelonephrititis (inflammation of the
kidney)
Eleutherococcus senticosus
is termed an adaptogen. An adaptogen is defined as a
therapeutic and restorative tonic generally considered to
produce a “balancing” effect on the body. In general,
an adaptogen can be thought of as a substance that helps the
body to deal with stress. Its action in the body is due to its
stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to secrete
adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH has the ability to
bind directly to brain cells and can affect a variety of
behaviors in the body. These behaviors might include motivation,
vitality, performance and arousal.
· Relieves stress
· Enhances athletic performance
· Tonic for well-being
· Immune enhancer
· Stimulant
· Hypoglycemic (reduces blood sugar)
· Improves cognitive function
Bee Pollen
is used as a natural "energy food" – probably due to
the combination of small amounts of various vitamins and
minerals involved in energy metabolism.
· Increased energy
· Prolonged endurance
· Promotes weight loss
· Immune system stimulation
Green tea
contains catechins, which are known to possess potent
antioxidant activity, they may provide beneficial health effects
by protecting the body from the damaging effects of oxidative
damage from free radicals. The powerful antioxidant activity
about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. A
number of chronic disease states have been associated with free
radical induced oxidative damage, including cancer, heart
disease, suppressed immune function and accelerated aging.
· Anti-atherogenic / Reduces cholesterol &
triglycerides
· Reduces blood clotting
· Enhances immune function
· Enhances weight loss
Piper Longum
is often recommended as a "thermogenic"
compound for increasing metabolic rate – an effect that may be
related to its ability to dilate blood vessels and cause a local
sensation of "warming." It has also been used
for stimulating circulation, aiding digestion, and relieving
pain.
· Digestive aid (stimulates gastric secretions)
· Arthritis pain reliever
· Raises metabolic rate
· Reduces allergic symptoms
· Prevents migraine headaches
Pyruvate
is a "salt" form of pyruvic acid - a 3-carbon
molecule derived from the breakdown of glucose. In the
body, glucose (6 carbons) is split into 2 pyruvic acid molecules
(3 carbons each) in the end stages of cellular glycolysis. When
enough oxygen is present, pyruvic acid can be converted into
acetyl CoA in the mitochondrion of the cell to produce energy.
Because glucose (the chief sugar used by cells for energy) is
broken down body into pyruvic acid, an increased level of
pyruvic acid in the body can enhance a cell’s ability to
generate energy.
· Enhances weight loss and reduces weight regain
· Decreases appetite
· Elevated energy levels
· Increased endurance levels
· Increases muscle glycogen
· Reduces fatigue
77 Trace Minerals
plant derived minerals play an important role in
providing the essential minerals our bodies are missing from
poor eating habits and depleted foods. Minerals initiate,
regulate and control every organ and function in our bodies.
Minerals are the catalysts that support enzyme function, protein
digestion, metabolism, cellular electrolyte impulses, and
billions of chemical reactions that keeps the body functioning
properly.

FAQ
What is Herbalean?
Herbalean is a proprietary nutriceutical to enhance weightloss and
energy. This patent pending all natural nutritional
supplement contains a synergistic blend of nutrients from all
across the globe. This unique supplement targets and attacks
weight loss from a variety of different aspects allowing for a
faster, healthier, and more efficient weight management.
Herbalean contains the once forbidden Mahuang (Ephedra) plan.
How much Ephedra is in Herbalean?
Herbalean has 10 mg per serving. This is the maximum legally
allowable dosage in a dietary supplement.
How much weight can I lose?
Everyone is different, and everyone will lose weight at a
different rate. There are many factors that will determine how
fast one loses weight. Weight loss needs, age, diet, exercise,
medical conditions, family history and water intake can all have a
direct effect on weight loss success. For instance, one who has
more weight to lose will usually drop weight quicker than someone
who has just a few pounds to lose will (assuming they do
everything else the same). Our guarantee does not state specific
weight loss amounts, we simply guarantee that you will be
satisfied with our products.
How soon can I start losing weight?
Weight loss varies from individual to individual. The amount of
weight loss will depend on your daily diet, the amount of exercise
you get and how over weight you are. Individual weight loss may be
any where from 2-10 pounds per week. However, some people lose
sizes before they start to lose weight, because they might be
gaining muscle while they are losing fat.
Is Herbalean going to give me too much energy?
Herbalean should give you the harmonically balanced amount of
energy. The formula is scientifically engineered to work
with the bodies metabolism to provide the optimum energy response
level. It is quite simple, take one capsule of
Herbalean in the morning or one capsule in the early afternoon.
Please remember to drink ample amounts of water.
Occasionally we have people tell us that these products are too
powerful for them and they feel a bit jittery (as if they drank
too much coffee). Remember, sometimes it could take days or a
couple of weeks for your body to get adjusted to the herbs. This
is perfectly normal. This jitteriness usually passes after a
little time.
Can I continue to take other herbs/vitamins?
You may continue to take your vitamins and supplements while
taking Herbalean.
Will Herbalean effect my current medication?
This product will not affect most medication. However, if you are
on any medication, we do recommend you check with your physician
before starting any nutritional regimen. Your physician will know
the specifics and severity of your condition and will be better
able to judge if you should be taking any nutritional supplements.
Who should not take ephedra?
Individuals with high/low blood pressure, thyroid
disease, diabetes, epilepsy, depression, glaucoma, prostate
ailments, seizure disorder or if using an MAOI (monoamine oxidase
inhibitor) should consult a physician before taking. Individuals
with heart ailments or if pregnant or nursing, should not take any
of this product.
How soon will I see results?
Results will vary for everyone. Some see results in the very first
week. Others may take up to 2 months before seeing results. To
increase amount of weight loss and the speed at which weight loss
occurs, try to include these things into your program: exercise
3-4 days per week, consume a low-fat, low sugar, well-balanced
diet, try to eat 3-5 small meals a day instead of 1 or 2 large
meals, cut back on sodas and alcohol, drink plenty of water, try
to remember to take our product 2 times a day if you are able.
Do I have to exercise while taking Herbalean ?
You do not have to exercise when taking these thermogenic
products. Keep in mind that exercise is an important way to
stimulate weight loss. We burn calories while exercising, and
exercise increases metabolism. Cardiovascular exercising should be
combined with some weight training. Many people are afraid to do
weight training for the fear of "getting big". But
weight training is one of the best ways to burn calories. Plus, by
adding muscle to your body your resting metabolic rate will be
drastically increased. This is because muscle needs more calories
to sustain itself than fat does. By increasing the muscle on our
bodies, we burn more calories every day, even if we are just
sitting still! One pound of muscle actually burns 50 calories a
day. If you replace 10 pounds of fat with muscle, your body will
burn 500 more calories a day! (Burning an additional 500 calories
a day sure would make it harder to ever gain weight again)
Do I have to take Herbalean with food?
Most people do not need to take this product with food. If you
have a sensitive stomach, or if after taking this product you get
an upset stomach, you might want to nibble on a little something
(low in calories) before taking your daily dose.
How does Herbalean work
Herbalean work by increasing the metabolic rate. Herbalean do this
by increasing the rate at which the BAT (brown adipose tissue)
utilizes fat. Many people have a weight problem because their BAT
is not functioning properly, or at all. Our thermogenic formulas
increase the effectiveness of the BAT thereby increasing the
overall effectiveness of the metabolism's ability to burn fat.
What are the side effects of Herbalean ?
There really are no major side effects from Herbalean. Matter of
fact, we rarely get any complaints. But of course, like any other
nutritional product, Herbalean may not agree with everyone. We
occasionally receive comments from consumers stating this product
make them feel jittery or this product give them heartburn. The
jitteriness usually occurs because one's body is adjusting to the
herbs. This usually goes away after a week or two. We usually find
that those who get heartburn are individuals who have a history of
heartburn. If you drink caffeine when taking Herbalean, you may
experience a small amount of nausea. If this happens to you, try
not to drink any caffeine within a couple of hours of taking these
products.
Is Herbalean FDA approved?
Herbalean is a nutritional dietary supplement. The FDA does not
approve any nutritional dietary supplements. However, our
manufacturing facility meets the highest standards and
requirements for manufacturing nutritional supplements and is a
FDA inspected facility.
Is Herbalean all natural?
YES! Herbalean is all natural dietary supplement consisting of
herbs, vitamins and minerals.
Do I have to follow a diet with Herbalean ?
We do not have a specific diet that you must follow when taking
one of our thermogenic products. In other words, you do not have
to eat 6 grapefruits, 10 egg whites or 5 bananas every day! This
is one of the nice aspects about thermogenics, because they
actually increase the metabolism all by themselves. We do however
recommend a well-balanced diet consisting of 3-5 small meals a
day. Yes that's right, we recommend eating often! We do not want
you to starve. It is actually better to eat smaller more frequent
meals than to eat 1 or 2 meals a day. Keep this in mind when
planning. (For more information on this, check out the "I'm
not losing, what's wrong" section)
How much caffeine is in Herbalean?
Herbalean has 75mg of naturally occurring caffeine per capsule. To
compare, a 12-ounce cup of coffee can have up to 200mg of
caffeine, while a can of soda can have up to 55mg of caffeine.
How do I know if Herbalean is working?
There are several feelings that tell you that Herbalean is
working. First, you will definitely notice that you have more
energy. This is one of the bonuses of our thermogenic products.
Next you will notice that you have a suppressed appetite. You will
not feel as if you need to eat as much in between meals or at the
meals themselves. Some people even feel as if this product gives
them a heating effect. They feel slightly warmer than usual. This
occurs because some of the herbs naturally heat the body (which is
where some of the increased fat burning effect comes from).
Why do I need to drink so much water?
Water suppresses the appetite and aids the body in getting rid of
fat. The liver is the place where fat is metabolized. The kidneys
need water to function properly and if they do not have enough
water, will pass work onto the liver (where fat is being
metabolized). If the liver is getting work from the kidney, then
it can not metabolize fat like it should be doing, therefore fat
gets stored in the body. Many people feel that they 'retain'
water. The easiest way to avoid this is to drink more water! The
body retains water when it has less than the amount it needs for
daily functions. It views this lack of water as a threat and holds
on to as much as it can. If we increase our water intake, then all
the stored water will be released by the body…no more water
retention. Keep in mind that water retention may be brought
on by excess salt intake. Our body only needs so much salt. If too
much salt is taken in, the body will need to hold on to water to
dilute it. Also keep in mind that an over weight person has
greater metabolic needs. Therefore, they will need more water to
efficiently run metabolic processes.
