:AHRX) announced today the introduction of its' proprietary "dual phase" LipoLette AM and LipoLette PM weight control supplement.

This is a unique nutritional formulation, promoting sustainable long-term bodily weight-control through balanced energy intake and output, 24 hours a day.

LipoLette supports effective weight control "lipotrophically" by decreasing the accumulation of fat in the body. LipoLette's active ingredients include a natural plant extract that inhibits the action of "Lipases," intestinal tract digestive enzymes which are responsible for the body's absorption of fat. This inhibition achieves weight control through reduced fat intake, eliminating the unabsorbed food through the stool. This mechanism is similar to the popular obesity drug "Xenical," a synthetic prescription "lipase lipase (lī`pās), any enzyme capable of degrading lipid molecules. The bulk of dietary lipids are a class called triacylglycerols and are attacked by lipases to yield simple fatty acids and glycerol, molecules which can permeate the membranes " inhibitor.

LipoLette is free of Ephedra ephedra: see ephedrine.  (Ma Huang) and caffeine. Most similar weight control supplements exert their effect through accelerating the body's metabolism. This generalized stimulation can also affect the CNS See Continuous net settlement.

 (Central Nervous System), including such adverse side effects as insomnia and agitation. Long-term CNS stimulation has been shown to lead to elevated blood pressure and an irregular or elevated heart rate.

LipoLette incorporates the unique enhanced dissolution and delivery properties of AlphaRx's clinically proven delivery system, which ensures that LipoLette's ingredients are efficiently absorbed and maintained in the body at levels to achieve and sustain their weight control effects without consequential side-effects.

 and inadequate exercise lead to weight gain. Subsequent crash dieting to lose weight contributes to an overall physiological imbalance, which in turn often contributes to further weight gain and obesity.
