Glucomannan
Glucomannan is a form of soluble dietary fibre extracted from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac).
Green coffee extract
Green coffee beans are beans that are "raw" and have not been roasted. Coffee beans are naturally green, but they are usually roasted before being sold to the consumer. This is the process that turns them brown. Coffee beans contain a plant compound called chlorogenic acid. Levels of this acid diminish if the beans are roasted.
Kidney bean extract
The white kidney bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris) is native to Peru, Europe and the Indies.
Congugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a slightly altered form of Linoleic Acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids are derived from the foods we eat, primarily from meat and dairy products. It cannot be manufactured by the body.
