Comparison of
NV Perricone Weight Management Program to Off-the-Shelf Supplements

 


For those people who choose to follow The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet, we have created a package of off-the shelf supplements.  We have chosen only top quality supplements from well known national brands. 

To match the daily supplement dosages that Dr. Nicholas Perricone, MD recommends in his Weight Management Supplement Program, our off-the-shelf package uses a variety of bottle sizes.  This means that some bottles will contain a 2 to 8 month supply.  We have tried to show this comparison below.  The net result is that using the Off-the-Shelf Supplement package will cost you $83.64 per month, however your initial purchase will be for $189 (because you are buying more than 1-months worth of all of the supplements). 

Dr. Perricone charges $195 for a perfectly packaged box which will last 30 days.  Your cost per month if you choose to use our comparable quality and dosage supplements is $83.64 per month.  We highly recommend that you also purchase Omega-3 Fish Oil. You might consider Glutamine powder also.

The NV Perricone MD Weight Management Supplement Program requires you to take 24 pills per day.  Our off-the-shelf matching daily dosage requires you to take 14 to 16 pills per day.  It's a little more tedious dispensing your daily supplements, but for those people who are cost conscious, we provide a savings of $110 per month.  People who do not have the time to take 8 pills - 3 times per day in the Perricone Weight Management supplement packs may also find our off-the-shelf selection with fewer pills easier to swallow.

Once you have purchased the $189 Off-the-Shelf Weight-Loss Diet Starter Kit, you may replenish the various components as you use them.  For example, you would not need to purchase more L-Carnitine for 2 2/3 months, more Coenzyme Q10 Q-Gel after 2 months, more Chromium polynicotinate after 8 months, etc. Good health and diet are, after all, a long-term lifestyle.

Weight Management Supplements

These synergistic supplements, according to Dr. Pericone, help manage your appetite, maintain energy, and help manage your weight.  Dr. Perricone reminds us that successful weight management requires exercise and a healthy lifestyle. 

Coenzyme Q10 may help increase energy levels and overall sense of vitality.  Q-Gel is a special hydrosoluble version which has proven to increase blood plasma levels 3 times higher than standard versions.

Alpha Lipoic Acid helps convert carbohydrates, fats and protein into energy.

Chromium helps support blood sugar and insulin levels which are beneficial to weight loss programs.

Borage Oil is nature's richest source of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid).  Research indicates that GLA helps support cell sensitivity to the body's natural insulin, thereby supporting healthy metabolism.

DMAE helps support improved muscle tone.

Acetyl L-Carnitine enables dietary fats to better be converted to energy and muscle.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) helps convert fat to lean muscle mass.

L-Carnitine helps support healthy fat utilization and energy production.
