To encourage participation, thought I would give some additional info that, to me, appears to distinguish this product from others:
1. Synthetic Guggulsterones Z & E. Extracts from the SAN article referenced above (obviously not an objective source, I realize): "There are several different guggulsterones but the Z and E versions are the ones specifically proven to rapidly accelerate fat burning activity. The Z and E guggulsterones work by stimulating thyroid production. The thyroid gland regulates your metabolism, so by increasing thyroid production your metabolic rate will increase…" And, "But to really intensify Thermogenic effects you need high levels of the thyroid hormone T3. You accomplish this by converting T4 to T3 efficiently. High levels of T3 will translate into a turbo charged metabolic rate and result in the shredded physique you've always wanted in record time. The Z and E guggulsterones make all that possible. They not only stimulate thyroid production, but also facilitate the conversion of T4 to T3. So you get the best of both worlds. Your thyroid production is enhanced and you get the greatest amount of the most potent thyroid hormone, T3."
"...but any old version of Z and E guggulsterones simply won't get the job done…in fact they won't even come close. Check this out, coz it'll amaze you. The highest degree of guggulsterone purity in any product currently on the market is only 10%....The Z and E guggulsterones SAN uses in Tight are the highest-level pharmaceutical grade and have been HPLC tested at 99.9% purity. Tight delivers guggulsterones with at least 9 times the potency of other products containing guggulsterones…and up to 99 times as much."
2. Forslean. This is a patented form of Forskolin. Again, from the SAN article: "Most products containing some type of forskolin don't deliver much potency. To overcome this problem, SAN uses Forslean, which has been scientifically proven to contain at least 95% purity level. Please be aware of the vast difference between the same or similarly named ingredient and its actual potency. With Tight, there's no doubt, it's right on the label."
I also did an Internet search on Forslean and here is the website:
http://www.forslean.com/home.htm The website had a link to a clinical study so I took a look at it. I'm no expert, but I was disappointed that it wasn't a double-blind study (i.e. a control and placebo group). But at least there was some attempt to test it and I would imagine this study was the basis for the patent.
