The day has finally come. You’ve checked yourself out in the mirror, your clothes don’t fit anymore, you don’t feel well and you realize that something has to change right now. You need to lose weight.

WHAT IS LEPTIN?

Leptin is a protein hormone, discovered in 1994, that works to regulate body weight and metabolism. It is expressed predominantly by adipocytes, the fancy word for fat cells, and is also utilized by the part of the hypothalamus known to help regulate body weight. Studies have found that when fat cells decrease in size, they appear to synthesize more and more leptin. Originally developed to build muscle in animals, naturally occurring leptin appears to lead to a dramatic reduction in food intake and to as much as a 50 percent reduction in body weight within months. Along with decreased food consumption, there is an increase in the body’s energy expenditure, which in turn leads to a loss of fat tissue mass and an increase in lean muscle.

Researchers discovered in 2000 that when leptin works in conjunction with IGF-1 (insulinlike growth factor) and other natural cofactors, it can also help restore fat cells to their normal size. IGF-1 directs the body’s metabolic process, burning fat, balancing blood sugar and building lean muscle. Even without strenuous physical exercise.

All this should really come as no surprise when you know that the word leptin comes from the Greek word leptos, meaning “thin.”

OBESITY CLINICS TEST LEPTIN INJECTIONS

While leptin might not work for everybody, there is hope. A randomized, controlled trial performed in six different obesity clinics looked at the effects of leptin on 73 obese men and women. Researchers reported in The Journal of the American Medical Association (1999;282:1568-1575) that daily injections of leptin led to a mean weight loss of 15 pounds in a 24-week treatment period.

More than 95 percent of the lost weight was from body fat.

There was considerable variation in the amount of weight that individual subjects lost during the treatment. Subjects who took the highest daily doses of leptin also lost the most weight.

What's good about Lepti-Trim is that Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith, the researcher behind the product and the nation's leading expert today on first milking colostrum, discovered how to produce a leptin-rich colostrum extract that goes into Lepti-Trim (along with other powerful metabolic activators). Many studies show that colostrum's natural enveloping of the leptin molecule and other potentially fragile peptides and proteins actually shepherds the compound through the gastrointestinal tract and into the bloodstream where it does the most good. Only Lepti-Trim is able to deliver nutritional leptin via its powerful first milking colostrum source.
