This product(s) is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Magnesium: 50 mg Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50 percent of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only one percent of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, helps keep heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and helps keep bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in promoting cardiovascular health. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Magnesium is excreted through the kidneys. Chromium: 100 mcg Chromium is a trace mineral that assists with utilizing carbohydrates and fat. It helps provide blood sugar to cells and may help maintain normal sensitivity to insulin, potentially helping to curb cravings for sweets and carbohydrates. Because of the role it plays in metabolism, chromium is commonly added to natural weight loss products. Chromium is naturally found in foods like yeast, mushrooms, prunes and broccoli. It is sometimes added to drinking water.
Wheat amylase inhibitor: 10 mg Amylase inhibitors contain substances that help to inhibit the body’s absorption of dietary starches. Starches are complex carbohydrates that cannot be absorbed unless they are first broken down by the digestive enzyme amylase and other secondary enzymes. They are thought to be useful for weight loss, but when they were first developed years ago, research did not find them very effective for limiting carbohydrate absorption. Later, however, highly concentrated versions of amylase inhibitors did show potential for inhibiting carbohydrate absorption in humans. Purified extracts, when given with a starchy meal, have also been shown to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Banaba leaf extract: 16 mg Banaba is a plant that grows in
Vanadium: 50 mcg Vanadium is an essential trace mineral (only recently identified as being truly essential in humans). A normal diet typically provides about 10-30 micrograms (mcg) of vanadium per day. Although there is currently no RDA established, this amount appears to be adequate for most healthy adults. Vanadium is thought to play a role in metabolism of carbohydrates and may have functions in cholesterol and blood lipid metabolism. Food sources of vanadium include seafood, mushrooms, some cereals and soybeans.
Vanadium is an essential trace mineral that is NOT contained in many multivitamin/mineral supplements. For those individuals concerned with maintaining blood glucose levels, a vanadium supplement may be beneficial.
Bitter melon fruit extract: 100 mg Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) grows in tropical areas and is cultivated throughout

This product(s) is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. What Makes This Product Unique? Carbohydrate Absorption Inhibitor (CAI) does just what its name implies. In the weight loss game, carbohydrates can really pack on the pounds. When you work towards your weight loss and healthy lifestyle goals, CAI works as hard as you. It inhibits the enzymes that normally breakdown starch into glucose within the small intestine. This product uses a calculated approach to affect the utilization of carbohydrates once they enter the body. As a result, the absorption of glucose from carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, potatoes, rice and pasta is inhibited. The active ingredient, wheat amylase inhibitor, delivers the advantage of maximum effectiveness in small amounts. This gives you an advantage by minimizing the effects of surplus carbohydrates that are waiting to be converted into fat within the body. CAI helps make eating healthy and living the Transitions™ Lifestyle a reality!*

Carbohydrates, protein and fat are the body’s three main sources of fuel. All three of these sources contain calories; carbs and proteins supply four calories per gram, and fats supply nine calories per gram. When the body burns a calorie – whether from a carbohydrate, a protein or a fat – energy is released. Carbohydrates, however, have the distinction of being the body’s predominant and most efficient source of energy. How are different carbohydrates metabolized in the body? When a food containing complex carbohydrates – oatmeal, for instance – is eaten, its high fiber content prevents it from quickly leaving the stomach. This results in a feeling of fullness. The food then moves into the small intestine, where the two types of complex carbohydrates – starch and fiber – separate from each other. The starch portion slowly makes its way toward the villi, which are the fingerlike projections of the small intestine that absorb nutrients. By this time, the starch has been broken down into glucose and is ready to be transported to the blood. When the glucose enters the blood, your blood sugar level rises. This, in turn, causes the pancreas to secrete insulin, a hormone that allows glucose to be transported to the cells. When glucose enters the cells, some of it is immediately used as fuel, some is stored in the muscles and liver as reserve fuel, and any remaining glucose is transferred into fat. As glucose is distributed throughout the body, blood sugar levels begin to fall. A very different scenario occurs when a food containing simple carbohydrates is consumed, such as a sugar-sweetened soft drink or a square of fudge. Because foods with simple sugars have little or no fiber to slow their movement through the stomach, it is rapidly transported to the small intestine. Once there, the starch is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a rapid surge of glucose into the bloodstream and resulting in a spike in your blood sugar level. Soon after, the pancreas, in response to the increase in blood sugar, releases insulin, which immediately begins the task of moving the glucose into cells, resulting in a drop in blood glucose levels. What roles do carbohydrates play in the body? Different types of carbohydrates are processed differently by the body and, consequently, have different effects on blood glucose levels. The glycemic index, or GI, ranks carbohydrate-rich foods according to their effect on blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates provide the body with the fuel it needs for physical activity and proper organ function. The best sources of carbohydrates — fruits, vegetables and whole grains — deliver essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and a host of important phytonutrients. The digestive system handles all carbohydrates in much the same way; it breaks them down (or tries to break them down which is the case for fiber) into single sugar molecules, since only single sugar molecules are small enough to cross into the bloodstream. It converts carbohydrates into glucose (also known as blood sugar) because cells are designed to use this as a universal energy source. The glycemic index measures how fast and how high blood sugar levels rise after consuming foods that contain carbohydrates. White bread, for example, is a high glycemic index food and is converted almost immediately to glucose, causing blood sugar levels to spike rapidly. Brown rice, in contrast, has a low glycemic index and is digested more slowly, causing a more steady and overall lower change in blood sugar levels. How can CAI help me reach my weight loss goals? CAI helps to regulate the way that sugar is processed by the body. This translates into eventual weight loss due to the way in which this supplement affects carbohydrate absorption in the small intestine. By inhibiting the absorption of carbohydrates, the calories are not being absorbed and your blood sugar is not spiking as it would normally with high-glycemic foods. When blood sugar levels are not held within a constant range, you experience sugar highs and lows that keep you reaching for sugary sodas, white-flour processed carbohydrate products and anything that will restore a blood sugar level that has dropped. By controlling the spike in blood sugar levels as well as the absorption of carbohydrates, CAI packs a powerful punch in the fight against unnecessary weight gain, furthering your weight loss goals.* Are there any contraindications or warnings I should be aware of when taking Transitions™ CAI?
