Does PGX Powder Help One to Lose Weight?

Losing weight is the dream of millions. Unfortunately, it is a dream hampered by lifestyle and sometimes, by the unwillingness of some to go to the extremes necessary to lose the weight. Let’s face it: we all want losing weight to be as easy as possible.

PGX Power Developed as Aid to Diabetics

PGX Powder is something of a misnomer. It’s technical term is PolyGlycopleX and in essence, it is a fiber blend. Believe it or not, the development of PGX powder was for treatment and control of diabetes. Medical research begun by Dr. Vladimir Vuksan and his team, discovered that there was a clear health advantage in the use of natural fibers for individuals who were diabetic. Dr. Vuksan’s blended natural fibers produced a dramatic change in patient’s glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels due to the fibers’ extreme viscous nature.

Dr. Vuksan produced a fiber  from konjac mannan and xanthum gum. Konjac mannan is, according to Dr. Vuksan, “[O]ne of the most vicous substances in nature, making it physiologically very active.” The American Dietetic Association has noted that Dr. Vuksan’s fiber blend is one of two long-term studies that revealed statistically significant improvements in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

The Weight Loss Side Effect of PGX Powder

However, there was a “side effect” that got far more attention than the natural health benefits and the use of the fiber in treating Type 2 Diabetes. What got the world-wide attention was the fact that this fiber blend helped people lose weight. It made those who tried it feel like they were fuller, like they’d eaten more than they in fact had eaten. In short, it gave them a sense of fullness that naturally caused them to eat less…which of course, caused them to lose weight. It turns out that Dr. Viksan’s natural fibers are the perfect ingredient for those who want a natural, healthy alternative to the pills and surgery and extreme weight loss programs.

The blend is now marketed as a proprietary substances under the names of  WellBetX and SlimStyles (Natural Factors Group). The product slows glucose absorption, creates a sense of fullness , and helps to reduce the absorption of calories. Their particular product also contains Mulberry extract which has a demonstrated ability to inhibit a particular enzyme needed to breakdown starch into simple sugars, helping in the control of blood sugar. So, one gets the benefit of blood sugar control as well as a natural appetite suppressor.

It is no wonder that PBX Powder is fast becoming the number one choice for those serious about losing weight. The real advantage to using this natural substance, these fibers, is that it is healthy. After all, if it lowers one’s cholesterol, helps control one’s blood sugar levels, and suppresses the appetite, all naturally, who wouldn’t want to incorporate this ingredient into their diet?
