Natural Factors PGX Daily Singles (PGX Fiber Sticks) - 30 x 2.5g

There's a genetic tendency that we all possess that makes us to easily put on weight and have a tough time getting it off. Ultimately, the key factor for most people is the development of insulin resistance and as the resistance develops, we lose the ability to control various things such as our blood sugar levels, our appetite, and our portion sizes. Further, our metabolism changes and becomes more fat storing. The real key to helping people achieve and maintain their ideal body weight is to focus on what they can do to improve the action of insulin. If they achieve that goal then they can flip that physiology back to a fact burning physiology instead of a fat storing one.
