  • Patent number: 6932987
    Abstract: An innovative and synergistic chemical composition is developed for enhancing a person's metabolism. Specifically, the chemical composition aids in increasing the thermogenic activity of the body, which encourages the metabolic conversion of the foods consumed by the person. This results in a loss of body fat and weight, without adversely affecting the person's nervous or circulatory systems. In addition, a method is presented wherein the person ingests a recommended dosage of the chemical composition prior to engaging in physical exercise, thereby allowing the chemical composition to be readily utilized by many of the people who may benefit from its effects.

  • Patent number: 5891441
    Abstract: A composition and method for the rapid elimination of fat from the human body, prior to digestion, is provided. A quantity of the chemical composition is intended to be ingested by humans, preferably with a glass of water prior to each meal, to aid in absorbing and binding fat, prior to its being digested, so that it may be rapidly eliminated from the human body, instead of stored as fat within the body. In a preferred embodiment the composition comprises at least one fibrous agent, and ideally, psyllium, in an amount of generally about 50% by weight of the composition, and an amount of glucosamine, preferably glucosamine HCL, at generally about 40% by weight of the composition, and amounts of glucomannan, apple pectin, and stearic acid forming the other generally about 10% by weight of the composition.
