Boussingaultia gracilis burns fat and protects the liver
by Anthony Roberts ~ source
I do quite a bit of research into herbs that might have potential in the nutritional market, although I don???t always write about them immediately. And generally I like to experiment with them before I put a lengthy article out there. But although I haven???t gotten a chance to experiment with Boussingaultia gracilis, I think it???s worth mentioning, just because the preliminary rodent data appears so promising. It looks like this stuff not only burns fat and improves insulin sensitivity, but also helps protect the liver.
Why is this so interesting to me, or to the supplement industry as a whole? I???m glad you asked. It???s interesting because we???ve seen two fat burning supplements become the center of tremendous lawsuits in the past few years: 1. Hydroxycut, which caused at least one death and is the subject of multiple unresolved lawsuits and 2. Lipolyze/Somalyze which almost caused a death and is the subject of a personal injury lawsuit.
So in my estimation, a fat burning ingredient that actually protects the liver, is a very promising find, and has a ton of potential for future inclusion in a supplement. Here???s the (rodent) data:
And another study seems to indicate that it has potential liver-protective and anti-inflammatory effects ??? the latter more potent than indomethacin, a prescription anti-inflammatory:
