Good bye to fad diets, revolutionary natural fibre discovered in Canada
PGX is the result of years of intensive clinical and laboratory research at the University of Toronto and tested at the Canadian Center for Functional Medicine in Coquitlam, B.C. The new proprietary product is a healthy, water-soluble fibre complex developed through a unique process and can be taken every day to greatly reduce appetite, eliminate hypoglycemic cravings and promote efficient fat burning by diminishing insulin resistance, lowering insulin levels and normalizing appetite regulating hormones.
When added to liquid, PGX absorbs 600 times its weight in water and when used in a diet product, such as a meal replacement drink, it continues to thicken and expand as it absorbs water. As long as the dieter takes adequate amounts of liquid with the new product, it will expand in the stomach and intestine and keep appetite under control for several hours by providing a sense of fullness. The thickness and expansion achieved by PGX(tm) is greater than any other fibre or fibre blend ever studied.
Dr. Michael Lyon, medical doctor and scientist, has collaborated with the University of Toronto in various human studies on PGX. Over the past year, he has also supervised a clinical weight loss program using PGX at the Canadian Center for Functional Medicine where he acts as the Medical and Research Director.
"Besides its stomach and intestine filling properties, we found PGX to markedly improve blood sugar regulation and the reaction of insulin. Most people who are overweight have a condition known as insulin resistance. We now know that insulin resistance and its accompanying elevated insulin levels contribute to many serious health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and it may be the reason why these people feel hungry all the time and find it hard to lose weight even when they cut calories. With PGX, excessive food cravings are dramatically diminished and dieters' bodies become much more efficient at losing weight without having to starve their bodies of healthy carbohydrate containing foods," says Dr. Lyon.
Results of a study conducted with the University of Toronto were presented in June at the Annual Meeting of the American Diabetes Association in Tampa, Florida. Several other PGX clinical trials have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness and important research will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Toronto over the next few months to help clarify the biochemical and hormonal reasons for this fibre's very unique appetite-reducing properties.
Products containing PGX can be found at all natural health product retailer operations throughout North America.
