Vital-18 is the natural solution for the elimination of excess weight that not only shortens life but also robs its most enticing qualities. The evolution of our civilization spiked with wonders did inevitably produce an endless assay of side effects of which many are rather undesirable. Overweight is one of these. An overwhelming number of people are, regardless of sex, age or color - notoriously obese. For most of these, shedding their excess weight is an increasingly difficult proposition, in spite of the many correct things they do.

Some go on starvation diets, or begin water and juice fast, strict exercise programs combined with a picturesque combination of exotic supplements albeit, each of which yield extremely poor long term results. Oh yes, these self-maiming sacrifices usually do generate at least some weightloss. Yet, such weightloss with very few exceptions, can only be attributed to the flushing of excess water.

It is important to know that the body retains water for several principle reasons. The first of these consists in the fact that there is excessive salt in virtually all commercially prepared non-sweet food products. Salt has been used for thousands of years as a preservative of perishable foods. Regrettably, also numerous manufacturers sell inferior quality food and use intensive salt concentration to disguise the poor taste of their products. We might add here that sugar is used for similar purposes, which brings us to the second of the main reasons for water retention.

Our kidneys are suppose to eliminate water according to a multi-level program which operates by some rather complex biological mechanics.

There are many - as a matter of fact, too many - chemical substances incorporated into our modern nutritional sources, which upset hopelessly the delicate program that operates our kidney functions. Excessive sugar, which is used massively now as a preservative and interferes radically the finely homed program of the kidney functions, inflicts wider ranging damage on the carbohydrate metabolism. These effects escape control, for sugar offers manufacturers the legal opportunity of stating on their labels in no uncertain terms... "no preservatives have been added."

Another paramount reason the body retains fluids is that water functions as a means of flushing toxins out of the body, the organism imbued by its natural discriminatory capacity - which is part of our DIVINE HERITAGE - knows that water is a universal cleanser and solvent. As such, it will flush most foreign substances out of the body, provided it is given access to them before they precipitate sediments which are very difficult to handle once they accumulate. Thus, many whose body retains fluids, are evidently saturated by a great variety of toxins, originating mostly in our current food sources or in other aspects of our environment.

Hormone imbalances also caused by either inadequate nutrition, improper medicines (such as birth control pills, or by maiming toxic habits ( alcohol, cigarettes or drugs, e.g.) - produce devastating effects on our metabolism and unleash usually unmanageable obesity problems.

The explanation of why these problems are so hard to cope with consist of three main reasons: 1. Water retention, 2. Increased fat production induced by a faulty carbohydrate management, and 3. the metabolic deterioration caused by misprogrammed hormone balances. Due to a variety of reasons, these coincide in the same individual, originating the additional aggravation of malnutrition, which by common sense standards, would be the least of all possible calamities to be expected of an obese person.

Yes it is an undeniable fact that about one-third of the overweight individuals suffer from malnutrition. This overwhelming percentage does not include those who become under nourished after following senseless and self maiming diets.

What makes things even more critical, is the circumstance that people in general find it hard to associate the idea of malnutrition with the image of an overweight person. Thus usually no timely measure are taken to correct the undernourishment until it becomes so advanced that it gives rise to a whole array of consequent illnesses, some of which can turn in to severe conditions such as heart diseases or diabetes.

Luckily, there are effective methods to prevent such disastrous deterioration of the health of those afflicted with obesity. However, any counter measures must necessarily encompass solutions for all of the above listed calamities, if true effectiveness is sincerely prevented. Thus any natural program must include flushing agents, fat burners non hormonal endoctine normalizes and inter intestinal expanders girded by an intelligent diet.

Not with standing all of these difficulties, there exists a program which guides people most successfully through the maze of the task of losing weight. As we have just noted, the primary concern roots in ensuring that the program encompasses fat burners, flushing agents and metabolic stimulators.

The solution to which we refer is perfectly fulfilled by the Vital-18 weightloss program. The Vital-18 contains concentrated fuel for the overweight body, yet responds to the body's special requirements without adding calories to the daily nutrition.

Now let us examine briefly how the main components of this program operate. Vital-18 diet supplement contains 72 substances, 18 of these are amino acids, including those 8 which the body is not equipped to produce. In addition, the Vital-18 contains 14 vitamins, 12 minerals, 6 sterols, 17 lipids and 6 carotenoids. All of these are dissolved or suspended in an aqueous carrier.

The reason we shall examine only the main components of the 72 substances is that many of these were included to undergird the action of the principle compounds, underwriting their effectiveness. Thus to describe them individually could cause not only some confusion, but would turn this brief reporting into a lengthy essay.

The ingredients we are about to review were produced with in the cells of blue green algae, which has been subjected to specially controlled environmental influences during there growth period. Such influences encompass not only nutrition but also temperature, light qualities (including color composition, intensity and sequence) and even acoustic pressure of a great variety. It is proven that when such influences are evenly perpetuated beyond the fifth generation of the plants, characteristics become genetically transferable.

LECITHIN is a sterol which mobilizes unwanted cholesterol and participates in many fat breakdown processes. As such it also tends to restore the flexibility of blood vessels and thus enhanced blood circulation.

INOSITOL pertains to the vitamin B complex and operates as a lipo-tropic liver-friendly agent. It is usually associated to the amino acid methionine.

METHIONINE is the precursor state of choline, another B vitamin. The more choline and inositol the body has available the larger the volumes of fat that can be mobilized and more intense the detoxification of the liver.

L-PHENYLALANINE is another essential amino acid which carries out a very different task in the body. L-Phenylalanine operates chiefly in the brain. It has a very important appetite regulation through participation in several processes occurring in hypothalamus. It also enhances many neurological reactions which are not only responsible for the adequate nutrition and oxygenation of the brain, but also for the proper waste disposal of brain cells.

PYRIDOXIN is vitamin B-6 whose task among others is consisting in assisting the maintenance of the acid/alkaline balance in the body. Associated to the mineral POTASSIUM which regulates the exchange of fluids throughout the membrane - the walls of the cells. In fact, the transaction occurs between sodium and potassium, which could not be carried out without the participation of Vitamin B6.

LINOLENIC ACID is one of the three essentials fatty acids, known some time ago by the now obsolete term Vitamin F. The body requires polyunsaturated fats for many important functions, but it cannot synthesize these. Linolenic acids is essential for a variety of endocrine functions. Many hormones could not be produced by the glandular system without their participation.

CAROTENES are natural pigments which exert a great variety of chemical and biochemical influences in an enormous array of cell types. Thus BETA-CAROTENE, for example is the precursor of Vitamin A and essential instrument for the body's immune system. Its presence in our daily nutrition reduces significantly long term health risks.

BIOTIN is an important cofactor in the regulation of both our metabolism and the dialectic potential of our kidneys.

NIACIN is another component of the Vitamin B family, besides its circulatory enhancement in the control of cholesterol triglyceride levels in the blood.

In brief, the 72 substances of The Vital-18 are orchestrated to satisfy all requirements of almost all usual forms of obesity. The types not covered by it are invariably caused by some lethal form of disease, such as Cushing Syndrome, which refers to cancer of the pituitary gland. The Vital-18 also fuels the body without resorting to calories and represents a powerful stimulant to the immune system offering an important instrument for the general prevention of long term health risk.
