Master herbalist Paul Schulick likes to play it safe. So, while other companies promoted all kinds of carbohydrate blockers, stimulants, cathartics and diuretics that promised weight loss and more energy, his company avoided the category altogether. Schulick and his colleagues at New Chapter® preferred to offer nothing at all, convinced that there was a better and healthier way.
Then new research began pouring in. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture showed that cinnamon helps improve fat metabolism. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found a relationship between obesity and low levels of antioxidants. The link between chronic stress and low antioxidant levels had already been established. Schulick was intrigued. He got excited and busy.
The result is a new and unique supplement that promises to help people lose weight, gain energy and maintain healthy blood-suagr levels with herbs most of us can find in our own kitchen cupboards. Supercritical Diet and Energy (tm) combines 13 herbs, including cinnamon, peppermint, cloves, rosemary, cayenne pepper and tumeric. All have been proven individually to enhance particular aspects of health. New Chapter, based in Vermont, is the first to roll them all together.
"I think people who aren't even interested in losing weight will still feel vital and energetic from using the rhodiola and the maca (ingredients in the supplement)," says Shulick, the company's CEO. "They'll have a wonderful antioxidative response and have a healthier digestive system. So it's really a daily tonic. It will work for everybody."
The supplement is also made with organic ingredients.
"This I believe will be the first made from mostly organic ingredients," he adds. "We've worked on this for the last year intensely, to source these herbs as cerified organics. If you know an herb is grown with pesticides and fumigates, it kind of defeats the purpose."
Supercritical Diet & Energy tackles weight loss and energy production from several fronts. It works to simultaneously increase metabolism, combat the effects of stress, balance blood-sugar levels, increase antioxidant levels and protect delicate cells in the body from overexposure to particular herbs. Here's how each of the ingredients works independently and together to achieve these results:
