Weight Loss Aid™

How it Works:

Compounds naturally occurring in lesser galangal (Alpinia officinarum) have been found to reduce fat absorption from the diet by inhibiting the activity of the fat-digesting enzymes, lipase. Enteric coating ensures that the extract is delivered to the large intestines where fat digestion primarily takes place. Unlike other products which impede fat digesting enzymes, Weight Loss Aid™ is not associated with any significant side effects.

Lesser galangal 
Can reduce fat absorption by blocking the activity of lipase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down fats in the digestive tract. Administration of lesser galangal has also been associated with support for healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels already within normal limits.*1-3
