The following is an excerpt from the chapter "Supplements and Vitamins" from the Reference Guide for Essential Oils by Connie and Alan Higley
This section contains product information about the authors' favorite food supplements. Most of this information was obtained from the product labels. We chose to review these supplements because they are the only products, known to the authors, that contain both herbs and essential oils. The essential oils in these products act as catalysts to deliver oxygen and nutrients through the cell walls while assisting the body in the removal of toxic waste. When taking supplements, it is important to give the body a rest one or two days a week. Taking supplements only five or six days out of the week will help prevent the body from building up an immunity to the supplement. These supplements are usually dissolved and assimilated by the body within a couple hours so the effectiveness of the supplements can be increased by taking them throughout the day instead of all at once. An approximate frequency is indicated for some of the supplements. However, please keep in mind that there are many variables involved in determining frequency. Consequently, these numbers may be difficult to duplicate.
BodyLiteAM/PM
A revolutionary all-natural herbal-based weight control product that works on the following five levels: 1) Helps stimulate the pituitary for increased production of the human growth hormone. This hormone is one of the most powerful side-effect-free agents for rejuvenating the body, restoring lean body mass, and reducing fat. 2) Blocks the synthesis and promotes the oxidation of fat and retards the breakdown of existing muscle tissue through calcium-bound hydroxycitric acid (HCA)---a natural herbal extract. HCA also acts as an appetite suppressant. 3) Cleanses the liver through a triple-action formula of celery seed, metabolic enzymes (including amylases, proteases, and lipases), and picroliv---a liver-protecting Ayurvedic herb extract. 4) Enhances metabolic uptake and cellular oxygen levels and helps promote hormone balance. 5) Provides the key micro nutrients, such as chromium and B vitamins that synergistically bind with tissue building amino-acids to promote optimum protein synthesis.
Ingredients: L-glutamine, L-arginine, L-ornithine--- all natural amino acid complexes
Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA)--- combined with calcium for increased bio-availability
