Potomac, Md. (PRWEB) October 10, 2008 -- Susan Lark, MD, noted medical researcher, clinical nutritionist and women's health practitioner, has formulated a new nutritional supplement called Daily Balance Metabo-X™, designed to address the key risk factors of Metabolic Syndrome: excess belly fat, blood sugar, blood pressure, and low HDL (good) cholesterol. Dr. Lark's Metabo-X is available exclusively through Doctors' Preferred, Inc. (DPI), a subsidiary of Healthy Directions, LLC (www.healthydirections.com), one of the largest North American direct-mail supplement distributors.

"Metabolic Syndrome (also called Syndrome X) affects 50 million Americans--in fact, 43 percent of those between the ages of 60 and 69--have it," says Dr. Lark. "If you've tried for years to get rid of excess weight, you've never come at it from this angle before."

"While a healthy diet and moderate exercise is necessary, there are also three nutrients that help you burn fat and maintain lean muscle, and Dr. Lark combined them to create Metabo-X.", says Linda Werner, Vice President and General Manager of Women's Health at Healthy Directions, LLC.

Metabo-X includes:

• Svetol® -- A green coffee extract that slows the release and absorption of glucose into your blood, helping to keep blood sugar even and steady. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 50 overweight subjects, those taking 400 mg of Svetol over a two-month period had a mean weight reduction of 5.7%. Metabo-X gives you 400 mg of Svetol--the exact amount used in the research.

• Sensoril® -- A critical nutrient that helps to keep both your blood sugar and HDL cholesterol levels healthy. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study researchers found that those taking 500 mg of Sensoril had a 30% reduction in cortisol levels. This helps promote insulin sensitivity thereby promoting normal blood sugar levels. Sensoril also raises the protective "good" HDL cholesterol, improving your cardiac outlook. You get 500 mg, the research dose, in Metabo-X.

• Chromium -- An essential trace mineral that metabolizes food and plays a key role in blood sugar metabolism. Research also indicates that helps improve insulin sensitivity in overweight people. Metabo-X gives you the studied dose of 200 mcg of chromium.

"There's no question that Metabolic Syndrome is something you can't ignore. It's important to start managing it now so you can thrive with good health down the road," says Dr. Lark. "Metabo-X can help make a real difference in every aspect of Metabolic Syndrome--from supporting your blood sugar to helping you achieve a healthy weight."
