P5X is an all natural plant extract formulation of concentrated polyphenol complexes that have been shown to support natural weight loss and healthful longevity.
Polyphenols are a diverse group of phytonutrients that are present in all the plant foods that we eat. A part of the plant’s immune system, they are antioxidants that help fight against oxidative stress. The human diet provides many more antioxidants as polyphenols than it does as vitamins .
Without antioxidants to neutralize free radicals in the body, these highly unstable and extremely reactive molecules attack the cells of our body. Some classes of polyphenols also inhibit specific enzymes; for example, flavonoids block the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) that is responsible for raising blood pressure. Some also protect the vascular system and strengthen the tiny capillaries that carry oxygen and essential nutrients to all cells.
Antioxidants are particularly important in a weight loss program. The conversion of fat into energy creates free radicals and the antioxidants will neutralize them.
How do polyphenols support healthy weight loss?
Certain polyphenols have been shown to influence fat and carbohydrate metabolism.
The positive effect of polyphenols on metabolic balance and blood sugar stabilization have been observed in a large number of human and animal studies. Dietary polyphenols are a group of molecules of various structures and range in size from simple molecules to very long chain molecules. Each of these different structures can provide different benefits to the human body. Studies show that these other benefits include anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive and neuroprotective characteristics. No negative interactions are known.†
P5X is specifically formulated to include polyphenols that have been shown to support weight loss through multiple pathways and are included at safe and effective dosages. They influence metabolism in ways that help reduce carbohydrate uptake, encourage fat utilization for energy and inhibit enzymes responsible for fat formation. These actions are specific to the polyphenol type.
