OB-X is a blend of botanical extracts which clinical studies in Korea show to reduce visceral fat and waist circumference. Visceral fat is a predictor of risk for obesity-related diseases: stroke, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, liver dysfunction. Waist circumference is the marker of visceral fat buildup. Visceral fat surrounds vital organs and is metabolized by the liver, which turns into blood cholesterol. OB-X mechanism of action: Adipose tissue growth is angiogenesis dependent and angiogenesis is concomitantly accompanied by new blood vessel growth. Thus suppression of angiogenesis would prevent adipogenesis and obesity independent of the obesity cause. (PNAS, 2002 99. 107030-10735)
