Metabolic Syndrome—also known as “Syndrome X”—is a set of risk factors including:
- A waist circumference more than 40” in men and more than 35” in women
- Serum triglycerides of 150 mg/dL or above
- HDL cholesterol of 40 mg/dL or lower in men and 50 mg/dL or lower in women
- Fasting blood glucose levels of 110 mg/dL or above
- Blood pressure readings of 130/85 or higher
If you have a few or all of these concerns, act now to protect and support your future health. Dr. Whitaker’s all-new Metabolic Essentials is a proprietary formula of powerful nutrients proven to combat each risk factor of Metabolic Syndrome. It features GreenSelect Phytosome, a remarkable new green tea extract for impressive weight loss results that’s three times more bioavailable than ordinary green tea extracts, plus stays in your bloodstream far longer. Clinical study subjects lost up to 30 pounds in 90 days using this nutrient along with a calorie-restricted diet. Even better, weight loss actually accelerated after day 45 (when most other weight loss efforts hit a wall). The same research found that subjects had a significant reduction in serum triglyceride levels.
A second powerful ingredient called AmlaMax™ is a patented, carefully standardized extract of Emblica officinalis fruit, also known as Indian Gooseberry. This remarkable nutrient has been shown to not only increase levels of helpful HDL cholesterol by up to 16%, but also lower C-reactive protein levels, offering significant cardiovascular benefits. Dr. Whitaker also included the herb Coccinia indica, which has been shown in clinical trials to reduce blood glucose levels by up to 18.5%, making it the perfect nutrient to address early blood sugar concerns. And he added to that 400 IU of vitamin D, which plays an important role in helping your body process glucose. To round out this comprehensive formula, Metabolic Essentials includes magnesium, which Dr. Whitaker has recommended for decades to promote healthy blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health. Metabolic Essentials is the first and only nutrient formula to specifically target all 5 risks factor of Metabolic Syndrome to help ensure your long-term good health.

This is good stuff
Reviewed by cbziggi (Posted on 12/4/11)Rating I have most of the risk factors that are listed in the product description, and I thought I'd give this a try. While I haven't been taking it as religiously as I probably should, I have started to take it regularly and even when I wasn't as diligent about it, I noticed a significant increase in my ability to manage my appetite & hypoglycemic "attacks" so much better. In fact, the only times I experience them is when I don't take this as directed. I highly recommend it...and my doctor is pleased with how I"m doing on it as well.
