Overview

prevalent problem in America today. It is more important than ever
to eat right and exercise regularly. Starch Complex is designed to
help you keep balance in your daily dietary habits by supporting a
healthy metabolism and helping to eliminate excess carbohydrates
when taken with a high starch meal.
Below is the list of ingredients in Starch Complex. The
information listed here is abbreviated.
Chromium
Chromium was first discovered as an essential trace element in
1955. In 1959, the mineral was identified as an active component
in human nutrition. We now know that chromium is an essential
partner to efficient insulin action. The body of an average
healthy individual contains only several milligrams. However, this
small amount plays important roles in the enhancement of insulin's
effectiveness, regulation of blood sugar levels, and the
activation of various enzymes for energy production. It is thought
that most North Americans have some degree of chromium depletion
in their bodies, and that the North American diet and eating
habits frequently fail to supply sufficient chromium for daily
needs. Good chromium food sources include whole grain breads and
cereals, lean meats, cheeses, and some condiments, such as black
pepper and thyme. Nutritional yeast is also rich in chromium.
White Kidney Bean Extract
White Kidney Bean extract (phaseolus vulgaris) is a non-stimulant,
natural ingredient that has been scientifically and clinically
proven to neutralize starches. Phaseolamin has been shown to
reduce the absorption of starch calories from foods such as
potatoes, breads, pasta, rice, corn and crackers.
Guarana
Guarana (pronounced gwa-ra-naa) is a berry that grows in Venezuela
and the northern parts of Brazil. The name 'Guarana' comes from
the Guarani tribe that lives in Brazil. Guarana plays a very
important role in their culture, as this herb is believed to be
magical, a cure for bowel complaints and a way to regain strength.
They also tell the of a 'Devine Child', that was killed by a
serpent and whos eyes gave birth to this plant. Guarana's
biological name, Paullinia Cupana, was taken from the German
medical botanist C.F. Paullini, who discovered the tribe and the
plant in the 18th century. The taste of Guarana is distinctive and
unique, and the main reason for its success in Brazil as a soft
drink. The main ingredient of guarana is guaranine, which is
chemically identical to caffeine. This is the reason for the
energy boost people get after taking guarana. (Taken from

Panax Ginseng
Ginseng is considered to be an adaptogen (a therapeutic and
restorative tonic generally considered to produce a balancing
effect on the body), and is believed to have many tonic
properties. Panax ginseng plant has been used for thousands of
years in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The plant part used is the
root and the active constituents are ginsenosides.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is believed to be the oldest living species
at about 200 million years old. It has been used in Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 4,000 years, where it is used for
supporting respiratory and cardiovascular health. Today, it is the
most frequently prescribed herb by practitioners in Europe. Ginkgo
is one of the most well-researched herbs in the world; and has
been the subject of hundreds of studies. It is most renowned for
its possible effects on brain function and circulation. In
addition, scientists have discovered that Ginkgo is chockfull of
antioxidants, Vitamin C and carotenoids.
