Read below to learn what role each vitamin plays in your well being.

Vitamins Play A vital Role In Your Bodys Mental, Emotional, and Physical health so we added the following nutirients.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A, also called retinol, helps your eyes adjust to light changes when you come in from outside and also helps keep your eyes, skin and mucous membranes moist. Vitamin A mostly comes from animal foods, but some plant-based foods supply beta-carotene, which your body then converts into Vitamin A. It also has antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, helps to heal wounds, prevent cell damage, promote healthy gums and teeth, and strengthen the immune system. It also helps the body absorb iron. Recent research has indicated that vitamin C may be associated with delayed aging and disease prevention by destroying 'free radicals'-the molecules associated with aging and cell damage.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage. Vitamin E also contributes to a healthy circulatory system and aids in proper blood clotting and improves wound healing. Some studies have shown that vitamin E decreases symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and certain types of breast disease.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1, also known as thiamin, helps fuel your body by converting blood sugar into energy. It keeps your mucous membranes healthy and is essential for nervous system, cardiovascular and muscular function.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, works with other vitamins in the B complex to process calories from carbohydrates, protein and fat. Your body needs it for growth and red cell production, and adequate riboflavin intake promotes healthy skin and good vision.

Vitamin B3

Vitamin B3 is also called niacin. Like all the B-complex vitamins, it is important for converting calories from protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy. But it also helps the digestive system function and promotes a normal appetite and healthy skin and nerves.

Vitamin B5

The body uses pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats for energy.

Some claims have been made that pantothenic acid is effective for treatment of nerve damage, breathing problems, itching and other skin problems.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, helps brain function and helps the body convert protein to energy. Some research has shown that vitamin B6 works with folic acid and B12 to reduce levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) in the blood. Elevated homocysteine levels can increase a person's risk of heart attack.

Calcium Citrate + Vitamin D and Magnesium

Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of your body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body.

Calcium citrate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies such as osteoporosis.

Vitamin D

The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus . By promoting calcium absorption, vitamin D helps to form and maintain strong bones. Vitamin D also works in concert with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones to promote bone mineralization. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, two forms of skeletal diseases that weaken bones.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral, playing a key role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in metabolism. Magnesium is involved in energy production and storage, the breakdown of fatty acids, protein synthesis, DNA metabolism, the relaxation of both voluntary and involuntary muscle tissue, neuro-transmitter activity, and hormone regulation. Magnesium is stored primarily in the bones, and along with other minerals, plays a role in the metabolism of bone.

Caralluma

Appetite. 2007 May;48(3):338-44. Epub 2006 Nov 13. Division of Nutrition, Institute of Population Health and Clinical Research, St John's National Academy of Health Sciences, Bangalore 560034, India.

Caralluma fimbriata is an edible cactus, used by tribal Indians to suppress hunger and enhance endurance. The effect of Caralluma extract was assessed in overweight individuals by a placebo controlled randomized trial. Fifty adult men and women (25-60 years) with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25kg/m(2) were randomly assigned into a placebo or experimental group; the latter received 1g of Caralluma extract per day for 60 days. All subjects were given standard advice regarding a weight reducing diet and physical activity. At the end of 30 and 60 days of intervention, blood glucose and lipids, anthropometric measurements, dietary intake and assessment of appetite was performed. Waist circumference and hunger levels over the observation period showed a significant decline in the experimental group when compared to the placebo group. While there was a trend towards a greater decrease in body weight, body mass index, hip circumference, body fat and energy intake between assessment time points in the experimental group, these were not significantly different between experimental and placebo groups. Caralluma extract appears to suppress appetite, and reduce waist circumference when compared to placebo over a 2month period.

Glucomannan

2008-02-01T21:20:00.001-08:00

In creating The Fill Pill we chose the best ingredients.

Glucomannan (Amorphophallus Konjak) - Expands 50 Plus Times Its Size and has many befeficial properties including weight loss.

Properties: Anorectic, Antacid, Cholagogue, Digestive Nutrition, Purgative

Primary Nutrients: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Niacin, Phosphorus, Selenium, Silicon, Sodium, Vitamins A, C, B1, B2 and Zinc

Primary Uses: Blood Sugar Disorders, Cholesterol/high, Constipation, Diverticulitis, Hemorrhoids, Obesity

Secondary Uses: Atherosclerosis, Blood Pressure/high, Diabetes, Gastric Problems, Hypoglycemia, Pancreatic Problems

Glucomannan helps reduce cholesterol, maintain regularity, and promote intestinal health. It also aids in normalizing blood sugar levels, relieves stress on the pancreas, and discourages blood sugar abnormalities such as hypoglycemia.

It binds toxic materials and eliminates them before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Studies show that Glucomannan, taken with lecithin, reduces cholesterol. Lecithin breaks down fat while the Glucomannan eliminates it from the body.

* Collects fat from the colon wall and discharges it from the body.
* Combined with diet and exercise, Glucomannan is helpful in a weight loss program.
* Effective at absorbing toxicity resulting from improper food combining.

Glucomannan is derived from konjac flour, which comes from the tuber of the various species of amorphophallus plants (related to the common philodendron). Konjac flour has a long history in China and Japan where it has traditionally been used as a food substance to thicken foods, much like guar and xanthan gums, and as a general health aid for skin care.

Glucomannan is a unique herb, also classified as a soluble dietary fiber, providing dietary fiber with no calories. On its way through the body, Glucomannan collects and removes fat from the colon wall, thereby promoting bowel elimination; while absorbing intestinal toxins and helping to normalize blood sugar.

Glucomannan has been receiving more attention lately due to its potential role in weight loss. Although further studies are necessary, it is believed that the expansion of Glucomannan in the gastrointestinal tract is a major contributing factor to weight loss. Glucomannan expands up to sixty times its own weight. This swelling may cause the subject to experience a feeling of satiety; and they therefore consume less food.

According to PDR Health online, in an eight-week double-blind study, 20 obese subjects received 1 gram of Glucomannan or placebo daily. The overweight subjects were instructed not to change their eating or exercising habits. The average weight loss of the subjects who received the Glucomannan supplements was 5.5 pounds. Their serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels were significantly reduced as well.

Glucomannan may also play a potential role in normalizing blood sugar. This could give Glucomannan the ability to improve glycemic control in Type 2 Diabetes. This is due to the delaying of the absorption of carbohydrates. By increasing the gastric-emptying time and/or the decreasing small intestinal transit time, your body has less of an opportunity to store those carbs as fat.

Aside from Glucomannan's role in normalizing blood sugar and promoting weight loss, it provides your body with a good source of fiber, which the typical American diet is lacking. Fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and stabilize blood sugar – helping to prevent colon cancer, constipation, hemorrhoids, obesity, and many more disorders. It also helps to rid the body of toxic metals. Because most diets are deficient of fiber, it is important to start supplementing in small doses. Too much fiber may decrease your absorption of zinc, iron, and calcium.

Fiber supplements, such as Glucomannan, combined with high-fiber foods, such as whole-grain cereals and flours, brown rice, bran, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, etc., are an essential part of a healthy, well-balanced, low-carb diet.
