Nature’s Diet Caps + Herbs, provided by Douglas
Laboratories®, is a combination of Garcinia
cambogia and chromium, formulated in a base of
special herbs, specifically designed to support
sensible weight management programs such as those
involving consistent, moderate dietary restriction and
regular exercise.
Each capsule of Nature’s Diet Caps + Herbs
delivers 250 mg of (-)hydroxycitric acid from 500 mg
of a high-quality, standardized Garcinia cambogia
extract. This natural extract comes from a tropical
fruit grown in several Asian rain forest areas.
Research shows that (-) hydroxycitric acid helps
maintain a healthy balance of hepatic lipogenesis and
gluconeogenesis, thus preventing excessive
conversion of glucose from dietary carbohydrate into
body fat. Research also indicates that (-)
hydroxycitric acid plays an important role in the
regulation of normal appetite. Unlike many
commonly used diet ingredients, (-) hydroxy-citric
acid is not a central nervous stimulant, and will not
lead to side effects such as insomnia, nervousness,
depression, hypertension, rapid heart rate, addiction,
or withdrawal symptoms.
Chromium is also provided at a significant level by
Nature’s Diet Caps + Herbs?. This essential trace
mineral potentiates insulin action and thus influences
carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. In its
biologically active form, sometimes called glucose
tolerance factor (GTF) from brewer’s yeast,
chromium is associated with nicotinic acid (vitamin
B-3). Chromium polynicotinate closely resembles the
brewer’s yeast GTF in both biological activity and
chemical composition as it also contains chromium
associated with nicotinic acid. Chromium
polynicotinate is yeast-free and has documented high
bioavailability. The typical dietary chromium intake in the U.S. can vary considerably depending on eating
habits. Most self-selected diets contain less than 50
mcg per day, which is below the minimum of the
Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intake
established by the National Research Council, Food
and Nutrition Board.
Adults take 1 capsule with 8 ounces of pure water
½ to 1 hour before each meal or as directed by
physician.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.
