Appointments 2 — Rescue Hydration

Exercise, modifying your diet, getting adequate sleep and eliminating stressors are great ways to help you lose weight. However, sometimes your body is lacking key nutrients to help you reach your goals. Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey, have hit a plateau, or you’re looking for something to help you maintain your weight loss, the Melt infusion can help! This infusion is stimulant free and packed full of vitamins and minerals your body needs to turn itself into a fat melting machine!

■ Maximize liver function
■ Increase your metabolism
■ Increase the amount of fat burn for days (the effects can even last up to a week!)

■ Lactated Ringers: This infusion won’t replace exercise or eating a healthy diet. However, by replenishing hydration stores this will allow your body to burn fat more efficiently. It will also help you with recovery from exercise.

■ Amino Blend (Glutamine, Ornithine, Arginine, Lysine, Citrulline): Arginine is known to increase the activity of insulin, which manipulates hormones that metabolize fats. It also increases strength for exercises, thus making it effective in a weight loss program. Citrulline is an amino acid that promotes protein synthesis and fat loss by reducing blood sugar production in the liver which targets abdominal fat loss. Ornithine is linked to increases in growth hormone secretion. Growth hormones are responsible for bone, cartilage and muscle growth and helps with fat loss by breaking down and mobilizing fatty acids.

■ Alpha Lipoic Acid: Several studies suggest alpha-lipoic acid helps lower blood sugar levels. ALA supplementation promotes the reduction of body weight and fat mass by decreasing food intake and enhancing energy expenditure. ALA has strong antioxidant properties, which may reduce inflammation and skin aging, promote healthy nerve function, lower heart disease risk factors, and slow the progression of memory loss disorders.

■ Glutathione: This super-powered antioxidant helps with weight loss because it shifts your body from fat production to muscle growth. This in turn helps your body burn off fat cells. Glutathione also aids your liver by removing toxins, assists your digestive system and increases your metabolism.

■ B Complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6): A blend of B Vitamins help to increase metabolism as cofactors for metabolizing carbs, fats and proteins. They support the immune system, red and white blood cell production, energy levels, cardiovascular health, inflammation, and more.

■ MIC (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) +B12: Methionine is an amino acid used in many enzymatic reactions in the body and assists in reducing our inflammation via the histamine response and in turn improves fatigue. Inositol assists in fat metabolism and the production of serotonin, a feel-good neurotransmitter which helps improve our mood and control appetite. The choline assists the liver in excreting waste products and is required for transport and metabolism of cholesterol which supports our endocrine, cardiovascular and liver function. B12 is a cofactor in all of these processes.
