Getting Over the Sugar Cravings

Tis the Season to Over-eat, Indulge, and love ever minute of it!...Or not!

If you can't trust yourself this Holiday Season, then I would like to make a suggestion that can help curb those sweet cravings for cookies, candy, and other delicious treats that we couldn't possibly turn down...and it's Easy.

Gymnema is an herb that has been in used in Ayurvedic medicine for nearly 2000 years to help reduce the cravings and addictions that are often caused by long term use of sugar, coffee, stimulants, and other addictive foods. In India, Gymnema is called Gurmar, the "Sugar Destroyer". That's because, since ancient times, natural clinicians have noted that it suppresses the taste of sugar. Standard Process's Gymnema is formulated to deliver that same unique result.

The Gymnema acts on the Sweet Taste Buds to anesthetize or "numb" your ability to taste sugar or sweets. There are two forms: liquid and tablet. The liquid acts much quicker than the tablet yet has a strong taste which many people dislike. Mixing it with tea can easily mask the taste. The tablet form, on the other hand, does not have a strong taste and can be easily taken with just water.

GYMNEMA- Sweet Taste Test
Try this simple test and be amazed-especially if you have a sweet tooth. Just place one Gymnema tablet on your tongue or 60 to 90 seconds. It might not taste great, but you'll love what happens next. Swallow the tablet, wait a minute, then try something sweet.
Surprise-no sweet taste! Imagine a Snickers bar having no taste. With the lack of taste, so goes the urge...

I have personally used the Gymnema in helping many people overcome their weight-loss obstacles. The fact is, the cravings can be nearly uncontrollable unless the Gymnema is used initially to stop the impulse to eat sugar and carbohydrates.

Standard Process is one of the leaders in herbal formulas and purity of their products. Although this herb is probably available in many healthfood stores, the strength and purity of the Gymnema 4g is only available to healthcare professionals through Standard Process. For more information, please read the product information sheet.

Stayed tuned for upcoming information about the 21-Day Purification and Weight Loss Program that will be held in January! This will be our initial class and will be limited to 30 people!

Happy Holidays!
