Gregory Chandler, Attorney at Law, on Iodine

Iodine is a mineral found in some foods.  Iodine is essential in making thyroid hormones, which are the hormones that control the body's metabolism and many other important functions.  The body also needs thyroid hormones for proper bone and brain development during pregnancy and infancy. 

Getting adequate amounts of iodine is important for the body.  Some great sources of iodine include:  fish (especially cod and tuna), shellfish, dairy products (milk, yogurt and cheese), fruits and vegetables, products made from grains (breads and cereals) and of course iodized salt. 

Adults should aim for 150 mcg of iodine daily.

GREGORY CHANDLER ON GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT

Green coffee bean is caffeine free.  Green coffee bean is rich in chlorogenic acids.  A 400 mg daily supplementation with this extract has been clinically proven to have weight loss effects.  Green coffee bean extract also increases lean mass to fat mass ratio. 

These health benefits originate from two synergistic mechanisms of action:  reduction of intestinal glucose absorption and reduction of glucose liberation by the liver, inducing the use of fat as a source of energy.
