Weight & Blood Sugar Management, Colon Support, Stamina, Endurance
Golden Lite was formulated to improve glucose tolerance in the management of pre-diabetic conditions as well as to promote weight loss. Its antioxidant ingredients help balance blood glucose levels and maintain healthier levels of insulin while supporting the repair and reversal of oxidative stress brought about by obesity. Lowering cholesterol and triglycerides enables the slower release of carbohydrates, digestive factors, metabolizing agents, fiber, prebiotics, and thermogenic (fat-burning factors).
Each ingredient in Golden Lite has been carefully selected for its clinically proven abilities. This formula supports healthy weight loss by enhancing metabolic rate, curbing appetite, and providing natural energy. Golden Lite can be used by itself as a weight loss aid or as an addition to any weight management program. Excess weight is a predisposing factor for Type 2 diabetes.

Ingredients
Garcinia Cambogia (65% HCA (Hydroxycitric acid): This extract helps metabolize fats quickly, curbs appetite, and boosts fat-burning. It is a key ingredient for weight management by slowing down carbohydrate release. It can lower LDL cholesterol while raising HDL levels. Garcinia helps regulate insulin and control blood sugar.
FOS (Fructo oligosaccharides) Prebiotic Blend includes Chicory, Mesquite, Burdock, Yucca: Keeps the colon intact and serves as food for beneficial bacteria (probiotics). They assist with optimal mineral and digestive absorption, protect intestinal wall health, and work with probiotics for proper regularity. They mediate between fats and carbohydrates and are helpful for glucose intolerance issues, colitis, and lowering blood cholesterol while increasing mineral bioavailability. Prebiotics are, therefore, probiotic enhancers.
Chicory, in its role as a support food, has numerous health benefits including increased intestinal fermentation which results in better nutrient absorption. This helps vitamin
production, primarily B, as well as enzyme production. By encouraging friendly bacteria, FOS fermentation helps to suppress other harmful bacterial species. Additional health benefits include the alleviation of constipation and diarrhea by increasing stool mass for better regularity by helping to clean the colon, protecting the liver from overworking, and increasing the bioavailability of minerals. Chicory contains the highest amount of inulin, low glycemic, beneficial food for intestinal tract probiotics.
Mesquite is a slow-acting complex carbohydrate that balances blood sugar absorption. It is a low-glycemic natural sweetener with mineral-rich soluble fiber. It provides calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, sulfur, manganese, and other valuable trace minerals. Its high protein and high lysine content provide a perfect balance to the high arginine of cacao. Mesquite is a grounding, balancing, and nutritive food that regulates blood sugar; diabetes is a decline in glucose tolerance.
Burdock root & Yucca are blood purifiers and diuretics that help fluid balance and support.

Green Papaya provides a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes making it an excellent nutritional supplement to the diet. Green papaya is rich in the proteolytic enzyme papain, known for its ability to break down protein. Digestive activity occurs in either acid, alkaline, or neutral pH. Because of its ability to digest protein in stomachs with a varying pH factor, papain is helpful to those with low hydrochloric acid output. Additionally, its enzymes help digest carbohydrates and fats which improve those enzyme deficiencies. A balanced environment maintains beneficial intestinal flora. Green papaya is rich in protein enzymes, complex carbohydrates, fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and Vitamin A.
Vitamin C Flavonoid blend: Bioflavonoids are phytochemicals that give plants their many colors and unique chemistries. They fortify the circulatory system by strengthening blood vessels and the immune system while maintaining cell wall integrity. The protection and enhancement of vitamin C is essential in producing the collagen protein, the cell wall building block. Bioflavonoids are called the “vitamin P” of nutrients which refers to the capillary factor of permeability. One of the main functions of bioflavonoids is to increase capillary and cell membrane strength while regulating their ability to absorb and assimilate substances. One of the signs of aging is the weakening of the body’s capillary system. Research has shown that bioflavonoids may therefore help to control—in their ability to promote circulatory health—
the aging process.
