Lunden Souza: Supplement stands alone among weight loss products

There are a lot of supplements on the market, creating a lot of confusion.

I am no expert on supplements, but I always do research to find out as much as I can about what I am putting into my body. One of the most recent additions to my supplement cabinet is Lean Simplex by Musclewerks.

Lean Simplex is a product that stands alone in the industry when compared to other weight loss supplements.

The proprietary blend consists of high linoleic acid (HLA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Lean Simplex is stimulant-free and aggressively attacks belly fat, increases lean muscle tissue and improves body composition.

Linoleic acid is an Omega-6, polyunsaturated fat, which needs to be included in your diet in order to maintain healthy body function. HLA is a highly concentrated form and derived, along with CLA, from safflower oil.

It breaks down fat cells that stick to the body, especially around the midsection, and redirects them to the muscle to be used as energy. It has also been shown to lower blood pressure.

C-Lesstra, the CLA found in Lean Simplex, is a very high-quality and high-grade form of the compound. CLA, a form of linoleic acid, helps reduce body fat and increase lean muscle mass.

While found naturally in food from animal sources, CLA and HLA are not produced naturally by our bodies. In order to receive the fat burning benefits, it must be consumed in the diet or supplemented.

Lean Simplex is a great source of CLA and HLA, with 8 grams per scoop.

Dr. Oz featured it on his show as part of a Belly Blasting Breakfast that includes 1,000 milligrams of CLA in pill form. Lean Simplex not only provides this component, but does so in a powdered form with an increased amount and rate of absorption.

This product also contains 8 grams of fiber and no sugar. The recommended daily intake of fiber is 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men, making Lean Simplex an excellent source to reach daily fiber intake goals.

Those who eat a diet high in fiber tend to stay fuller longer and are less likely to overeat, making weight loss goals more attainable.

The three flavor options are vanilla, chocolate and berry smoothie. All can be taken alone with the recommended amount of water. The vanilla flavor makes a tasty addition to morning coffee and all of the flavors can be added to a breakfast or post-workout protein shake.

The lack of a stimulant in this product and the high degree and quality of the fat-burning components is what sets it apart in the industry by making it possible to take virtually any time of the day.

This product is natural and safe, and there have never been any cases reported of an overdose on any of the above-mentioned ingredients of the proprietary blend.
