Composition And Method for Modulating Hydrogen Ion Physiology Related to Weight Loss and Metabolism
A nutritional supplement composition that enhances the incorporation of calcium and other bone building elements in bone and that prevents bone breakdown, specifically due to the chronic metabolic acidosis that the typical Western diet generates each day. The transcription factor NFKB (Nuclear Factor Kappa B), which underlies some of this physiology, has also been shown to adversely affect fat metabolism. The enzymatic protein complex, AMP Kinase (Adenosine Monophosphate Kinase), a key regulator of energy metabolism, has been shown to reverse the effects of excessive NFKB activity on bone and fat metabolism. The novel nutrients modulate nutrient partitioning and fat metabolism in a human or animal so as to increase oxidation of fat, decrease storage of fat and promote increased storage of glycogen. They are composed of one or more of nutrients selected from the group consisting of Hesperidin, Berberine, Epigallocatechin 3-Gallate (EGCG), Resveratrol, Curcumin, Ginsenosides, Gingerols, Hispidulin, Honokiol, Magnolol and Quercetin. A method for modulating nutrient partitioning in a human involves orally or parenterally administering the aforementioned composition to the human or animal, preferably on a daily basis, for a therapeutically effective period of time. Preferably, the method further involves having the recipient follow a specific dietary regimen wherein the glycemic index is less than 60 and the daily calorie consumption from carbohydrates is less than about 50% and the daily calorie consumption from protein is at least about 20%. Optionally, the method further involves an exercise program, a stress reduction program and/or a blood donation program.
