Description
Shape® is a new, powerful and multifaceted approach to the complex and
difficult challenge of weight loss. There is no other product that
combines the most active ingredients together with resveratrol, the
activator of the caloric-restriction gene, with fucoxanthin, an extract
of the japanese brown algae, which has been shown in several studies
that it reduces body fat and improves sensitivity to insulin.
Active Shape® works metabolically through Garcinia cambogia – which
inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase, to prevent excess carbohydrates
from turning to fat – and Gymnema sylvestre – a herb from India that
works by balancing blood sugar levels. The unique shape of gymnemic acid
molecules is similar to that of glucose, competing with it, allowing it
to fill cell receptors in the intestinal lining, thus preventing sugar
molecules to attach instead.
A formulation of Active Shape® with green tea extract was recently
developed, which contains large amounts of polyphenols (40%
epigallocatechin gallate) that activate the enzyme responsible for
dissolving excess triglycerides. In the long run, this means green tea
helps effectively burn fat.
Trans-resveratrol 95%. This ingredient alone would make an
extraordinary supplement. Bio-enhanced natural resveratrol regulates the
benefits of other appetite suppressants and metabolic agents. In
multiple university studies, it has been shown that resveratrol
activates PGC-1 Alpha, a key regulator of energy metabolism. Once
activated, PGC-1 Alpha powerfully induces and coordinates expression of
the genes that stimulate mitochondrial oxidative metabolism in brown
fat, and many aspects of the liver response to fasting.
Wakame seaweed contains a type of carotenoid called fucoxanthin at
10%. In animal studies, fucoxanthin appeared to stimulate production of
UCP1, a protein that increases thermogenesis and fat burning. This
protein is found in the visceral fat that surrounds the internal organs
in the abdomen (the type of fat linked to serious health conditions).
Garcinia cambogia (60% hydroxycitric acid). It acts by filling the
liver’s and other tissues’ glycogen stores, thereby reducing appetite
while increasing energy levels. Garcinia cambogia reduces the production
of triglycerides and cholesterol, and may also increase thermogenesis,
burning calories. Unlike chemical stimulants commonly used in slimming
products, Garcinia cambogia does not cause insomnia, nervousness,
changes in blood pressure or heart rate, and its effectiveness does not
diminish over time.
Gymnema sylvestre (50% gymnemic acid). In animal studies it has been
demonstrated that gymnea sylvestre reduces the sugar available for
absorption in the stomach, increases insulin levels, and blocks the
absorption of fat from food.
Chromium. An essential trace element for the proper use of sugar in
the blood. It helps reduce cholestero and triglyceride levels and lowers
body weight while increasing lean body mass.
Indications
• Increasing metabolic activity
• Reducing body fat
• Activating caloric restriction gene
• Helps improve blood sugar control, as well as reducing its absorption
• Maximum effectiveness when used in conjunction regular exercise and a calorie-restricted diet.
Dosage / Suggested use
2-3 capsules daily with a glass of water or low-sugar fruit juice, as
follows: one capsule on waking, another capsule one hour before lunch,
and a third and last one, one hour before dinner.

Benefits of Resveratrol
Resveratrol
is a phytoalexin. Stilbene in grapes is formed in plants as a natural
response when they are attacked by fungi or bacteria, or ultraviolet
radiation from the sun. It develops in products such as wine, grape
must, etc, and other foods such as oysters, peanuts and walnuts, but one
of the plants where it is found in greater amounts is Polygonum
cuspidatum (Japanese knotweed). Resveratrol is also produced by chemical
synthesis. This is important when choosing, as the best resveratrol
supplement is of natural origin and comes from the Polygonum cuspidatum
plant. Furthermore, its bioavailability is increased, and has the active
“Trans-resveratrol” type.
Resveratrol is being used in numerous studies to see what its effects
in animals and humans are. In experiments with rats and mice,
beneficial effects such as anti-inflammatory,
anti-fibrotic, reduced blood-sugar levels and cardiovascular benefits
have been reported.
Resveratrol induces expression of several genes such as FOXO1, FOXO3a
(related to longevity) and PBEF (involved in regulation of plasma
glucose levels). Other studies have also shown its role as sirtuin
activator (SirT1, Sirt3, SIRT4).
There are many studies on the beneficial effects of resveratrol,
independently of whether they are activators of sirtuins or not.
In one of the studies published in Nature, mice that were subjected
to a diet very rich in fats but were also supplemented with high doses
of resveratrol, did not suffer some of the worst consequences of
obesity, such as liver degeneration, predisposition to diabetes and
other symptoms of aging that often lead to premature death, and their
lifespan was extended compared to those who did not receive the
supplement.
In another experiment, published in Cell, researchers noticed a
significant increase in energy expenditure in mice treated with
resveratrol, resulting in their protection against obesity and diabetes.
With this substance, the muscle fibres use more oxygen, both during
exercise, in which greater resistance is confirmed, as in periods of
inactivity. Delving into the reason for these effects, scientists bumped
into mitochondria – which are responsible for energy production in
muscles, and in whose cells they are found in large quantities. They
found that, indeed, proteins related to mitochondrial function are
activated.
As for its role as an ergogenic substance in sports, it has been
shown in animal experiments that it improves the physical capacity of
animals subjected to a diet enriched with this product. Human studies,
however, are needed to clarify its true role in physiology and sports
nutrition. Another study suggests that resveratrol may be
counterproductive in people receiving chemotherapy with paclitaxel due to their metabolism, as it interacts
with resveratrol.
Resveratrol shows promising results in preventing diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. It is also being used in numerous
studies to study its effects on animals and humans. In order to be
neutral and not seem commercially biased, if you want to receive the
abstracts of these and other publications we suggest that you request
them and we’ll be happy to provide them.
