LuraLean Special Propolmannan Particle Size
120 Vegetarian Capsules

Remember when you were young and ate whatever you wanted without thinking twice? Back then, your body burned through calories so fast, you didn't have to worry about it. Time has long since turned the tables and turned your body against you. Unavoidable age-related metabolic changes have transformed perfectly normal digestive processes into dietary dangers.

For instance, carbohydrates and fats pass into your bloodstream after each meal almost the same way they did when you were young but your body simply cant utilize them as efficiently. The result? Negative side effects that spike triglycerides, blood sugar, and insulin that negatively impact your health, expand your waistline, and ultimately affect every system in your body over time.

Propolmannan Versus Glucomannan
Now you can safely blunt these dangerous after-meal side effects with new LuraLean Special Propolmannan particle size ... a breakthrough in digestive support for healthy body weight. Propolmannan is many times more effective than typical glucomannan (such as Lipozene) made from Konjac, a tuber of the same species used in propolmannan.

LuraLean consists of propolmannan, a highly purified, natural dietary fiber patented in 33 countries. It comes from Amorphophallus japonica, a rare tuberous plant found only in the mountainous regions of northern Japan.

Propolmannan boasts the highest molecular weight of any water-soluble fiber in the natural world.1 Using cutting-edge technology, it has been reduced to a special particle size that maximizes density while remaining in a desirable viscous form. A 500 milligram capsule of propolmannan contains more fiber than the same milligram amount from other plants.1 Just as importantly, natural enzymes that would otherwise cause it to break down during digestion have been removed.2-7

This is what sets LuraLean propolmannan apart. Because of its high molecular weight, particle size, durability, and viscous structure, LuraLean passes intact through your entire digestive tract. Its unique sponge-like matrix then acts with positive side effects to impede excess calories from entering your bloodstream in three ways:

1. Absorbs water and quickly expands in the stomach, to make you feel full faster,

2. Impedes the breakdown and assimilation of dietary fats by "soaking up" bile acids in the small intestine, shuttling them safely out of the body,8

3. Slows the rapid emptying of food from your stomach into the small intestine, blunting the after-meal glucose spike that would normally result.

In other words, LuraLean forms a stable, viscous barrier that slows down normal digestive processes intrinsic to body fat storage virtually side effects free.

Placebo-controlled studies confirm its ability to induce moderate weight loss by reducing the rate of carbohydrate absorption and consistently lowering after-meal elevations in blood glucose, triglyceride, and LDL levels.9,10

Four 500 milligram capsules of LuraLean Special Propolmannan particle size taken before the two heaviest meals of the day can help you turn back the clock on age-related metabolic changes and will become an integral component of your weight management program.

This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

What Differentiates Propolmannan from Glucomannan?

Konjac glucomannan is a similar plant to propolmannan. They both are of the Amorphophallus genus that is used in Asian cuisine to thicken sauces, make fruit jellies, and to create konyaku, a stretchy noodle that is popular in Japan.11 Konjac glucomannan, however, does not yield the extraordinarily high quality material that makes propolmannan so effective.

Many health claims have been made for Konjac glucomannan. But, only by starting with the superior propolmannan of A. japonica and completely removing its catabolic enzymes. As a result, the highly soluble/highly viscous fiber in propolmannan gains the ability to remain intact in the digestive tract. There, it can form a sponge that binds to bile acids and impede dietary fat absorption.7-12

This sponge function not only decreases appetite but delays the emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestines -- slowing down the influx of carbohydrates and fats into the bloodstream. This slower rate of gastric emptying helps keep blood sugar levels more stable than the typical sharp peaks after carbohydrate foods are eaten.2

As you will read in this series of fasting articles, reducing postprandial (after-meal) glucose spikes promotes the beneficial expression of longevity genes observed in organisms that are calorie restricted.
