| Be-Fit Herbal Slimming Green Tea capsules have a secret ingredient that is probably on your kitchen counter: black pepper (Piper Nigrum ).
Read on to learn why it's so good for you. |
The Company
Be-Fit Herbal Slimming Capsules are made by Thanyaporn Herbs in Thailand. Thai Herbal Products (.com) is their authorized internet agent.
Thanyaporn Herbs, a family business located outside Bangkok, has been making herbal products for over 25 years. Their products are FDA approved and comply with the U.S.'s GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice).
Why You Would Chose This Green Tea Product
Be-Fit Herbal is made by a traditional Thai family with a long
history of herbal expertise. You are not buying a corporate
cookie cutter product. The price is unbelievably low
(at least for now) so if you want a quality product
without the quantity price, this one is for you.
Who knew black pepper could be so good for you but it is and Garcinia Cambogia is a must if you love those carbohydrates.Read all the benefits of green tea here.
The ProductCalled Prig Tai Dam, black pepper is a very popular spice in Thai cooking. It is said to burn body fat and improve the condition of the skin. Traditionally, Prig Tai Dam has been used to alleviate constipation and indigestion and decrease phlegm, diarrhea and excess urination. |
- In the U.S., black pepper is usually thought of as just a basic spice that goes with salt. But it is also a source of iron, manganese, potassium, vitamins A, C and K.
It has a long medicinal history in Eastern cultures including Ayurveda medicine (India).
In addition to the above, black pepper has been used to treat earaches, toothaches and decay, gangrene, heart disease, eye problems, hernia, hoarseness, insect bites, insomnia, joint pain, liver problems, lung disease and sunburn.
- Garcinia Cambogia, known as the monkey fruit, is native to Asia and Australia. The active ingredient in garcinia is Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). It has been shown (in animals) to increase energy and promote weight loss. It's often marketed under the name Citrimax.
Two decades of studies show that HCA stops the liver from forming fats from carbohydrates. It increases glycogen (the energy storage molecule) in the body, reduces the appetite and has thermogenic (fat burning) properties.
| Take 2 capsules two times per day with breakfast and dinner. Each capsule provides 30 grams of the combination of green tea, black pepper and garcinia. |

- So far, this product appears to only be available from Thailand so expect a bit of a wait to receive it. Buying in bulk (often sold in 2-3 bottle packs) is a better way to go.
