WHAT DOES IT DO?

Body Image is a proprietary fat management formula which contains the CoEnzyme A precursors and other substances that affect fat metabolism. CoEnzyme A is the foundation of this product.

Every cell in the body depends upon energy production to live. Those seeking more energy have sought out elements of the Krebs (TCA) or Citric Acid Cycle which is the generation process of 95% of the body's energy. Among the more famous elements of this cycle are Coenzyme Q10, NADH, Pyruvate, Ribose, and Pantothenic Acid (B5.) All have been used effectively to generate more energy.

The "ignition switch" to this entire process is the most widely used and important enzyme in the body, called Coenzyme A, otherwise known as "The Master Coenzyme." This substance initiates the entire energy production process. All those wonderful substances in the energy cycle are rendered useless. Without it, life ceases to exist.

It has many other functions as well:

• Initiates hundreds of important processes in the body.

• Initiates the chemical reactions required by the human body to utilize Coenzyme Q10, Coenzyme 1 (NADH/Enada) and many of the other nutrients the body needs to stay healthy.

• Initiates the manufacture of the specific substances that facilitate critical functions of the brain and adrenal glands.

• Supports the development and functions of the male and female sex organs that are essential to human existence.

• Acts as the "universal acetate carrier"; it is the primary biological cofactor used in acyl group transfers. It initiates the metabolism of fatty acids, and supports pyruvate oxidation and other acetylation reactions.

• Supports critical functions of the immune system and facilitates the repair of RNA, DNA and physical injury.

• Facilitates the manufacture of connective tissue and the formation and repair of cartilage.

• Enhances physical performance and reduces the buildup of lactate.

As critical as this enzyme is, it can be inhibited from doing its job by environmental toxins such as heavy metals, lipid epoxides and alkyl halides. When this happens various fatigue states, weight gain and overall poor health ensue. For example, Coenzyme A is made in the body from ATP, Cysteine and Vitamin B5. If homocysteine builds up in the blood it can block cysteine from contributing to the construction of Coenzyme A.

Coenzyme A cannot be taken in pill form but its precursors (building blocks) can be and that is what this formula does. Because of new proprietary technology, it is purported to be much as 80% more effective than any similar group of ingredients.

This formula was created to use the benefits of Coenzyme A with other fat loss enhancing substances for weight loss.

According to the manufacture:

"The benefits of Body Image^TM include:

• Working to primarily enhance the transport of glucose into the muscle cell from the blood. Scientific studies show it increases (glucose extraction) from 150% to 300%.

• Acetyl L-Carnitine, acetyl ester of L-Carnitine (a more biologically active form of Carnitine), is the carrier of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes.

• In the body, Acetyl L-Carnitine modulates cellular concentration of free Coenzyme-A and Acetyl Coenzyme-A compounds, and is integrally involved in numerous cellular functions including energy production by exchanging across sub-cellular membranes. Acetyl L-Carnitine serves as a pool of acetyl groups to regenerate Acetyl Coenzyme-A from free Coenzyme-A.

• Increases energy production in the body within the processes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (also called TCA, ATP, Krebs, or citric acid cycle) and glycolitic cycles.

• Metabolizes fat and reduces cholesterol and triglycerides by increasing the fat utilization mechanism.

• Stabilizes blood sugar levels, maintaining a healthy balance of insulin, while naturally suppressing the appetite.

• Causes the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids.

• Enhances physical performance:

• Increases Cyclic AMP (cAMP), one of the most important cellular messengers signaling the body to induce lipolysis, the breakdown of fat for fuel, while inhibiting fat storage.

• Relaxes the arteries and the smooth muscle tissue thus lowering blood pressure.

• Stimulates digestive enzymes allowing better digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

• Inhibits glycolysis.

• Restores the body's natural ability to process sugar.

• Increases alertness and the sense of greater well-being."
