• Chá de Bugre

Chá de Bugre is the Brazilian secret to weight management when combined with healthy diet and exercise because of it's ability to gently support your metabolism. Chá de Bugre is also known as Cordia salicifolia,which is a Brazilian tree also found in the tropical forests of Argentina and Paraguay. As you can see from the picture, the tree produces red fruit that looks like a coffee bean. The fruit and the leaves are used to make tea and medicine.

Chá de Bugre also has additional benefits besides weight management. It is also used for:

Reducing Cellulite
Reducing Fluid Retention aka Edema
Gout
Cancer
Herpes
Viral Infections
Fever
Heart Disease
Cough
Wound Healing
Other Conditions  WebMD review of Chá de Bugre

Clinical Study: I have not been able to locate any clinical studies on Chá de Bugre. Chá de Bugre is becoming an increasingly popular ingredient in various diet and weight loss supplements due to the fact that is has stimulant properties similar to those found in ephreda. It is thought that this is an equally, if not more so effective, and safer alternative to the recently banned ephreda ingredient. Various customer testimonials can be found online for a variety of different products containing this ingredient, though they are mixed. Some people have found this product to be incredibly helpful to them and their weight loss goals while many others have found the product to make very little difference and cause unpleasant side effects such as insomnia, anxiety, and dry mouth. Various studies have shown the effectiveness of Cha de Bugre in reducting Herpes virus yield. Read

• Digestive Enzymes

Your digestive system breaks the food you eat down into small molecules that your intestines can absorb into the bloodstream. Two separate processes are at work -- mechanical digestion, which breaks food down into smaller chunks physically, and chemical digestion, which breaks food into smaller molecules. Digestive enzymes assist in chemical digestion. The human body contains 22 different enzymes and Skinny Fiber contains 7 different enzymes to assist with helping you achieve your weight loss goals.

Here is a list of the Digestive Enzymes in Skinny Fiber:

• Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. It is present in human saliva, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. It is also produced in the Pancreas.
• Protease is the digestive enzyme necessary to digest protein and remove toxins.
• Lipase is the digestive enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food.
• Glucoamylase release maltose and free glucose by by breaking the bonds near the ends of large carbohydrates.  
• Papain is an enzyme from Papaya fruit which digests large protein molecules to smaller peptides and amino acids.
• Cellulase is an enzyme that converts cellulose to the disaccharide cellobiose. It is not produced by the human body.
• Bromelain is an enzyme from Pineapple which digests large protein molecules to smaller peptides and amino acids.

The proprietary blend of all-natural, healthy ingredients makes Skinny Fiber a very effective supplement.  It's been reported by some users that they have no more feeling anxious, shaky, light-headed, or nauseous. Skinny Fiber flat out works by making you feel full, suppresses your appetite, and burns fat, which causes you to lose weight!
