The fat-burning lip balm
Fat burning lip balm – Heath News – Marie Claire Rex Features
A Los Angeles-based company has produced a new lip balm that it claims boosts energy, suppresses hunger and burns fat.
‘Burner Balm’ contains a trio of natural ingredients that all reduce appetite: Hoodia extract, chromium picolinate and natural caffeine, which also restores alertness. Natural green tea extract has also been added for increased energy and metabolism.
On sale now in the UK, via HQHair.com, the balm was the brainchild of Dr. Allan Kurtz in direct response to complaints made by his patients with regards to weight gain and lack of energy.
‘Oral gratification is the biggest challenge to weight loss so I decided to develop a product that mocks that gratification, and Burner Balm was born,’ he said.
According to its manufacturers, Pacific Shore Holdings, the £4.95 Burner Balm is a healthy alternative to energy drinks or energy shots, which can be loaded with chemicals and sugars.
And in addition to its weight loss and energy-increasing properties the balm also provides a protective barrier from the harsh elements, locking in moisture on the lips, while preventing them from drying out and becoming chapped.
One of the key fat burning components is chromium picolinate, an ingredient that dieticians know well. Chromium is a mineral that humans require in trace amounts and is found in small quantities in foods such as processed meats and cheese.
It has been credited with helping the body process carbohydrates and fats and is marketed as a weight-loss aid for dieters and a muscle-building aid for bodybuilders and athletes.

LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Pacific Shore Holdings, Inc. (PSH), a Los Angeles-based manufacturing and distribution corporation is proud to announce the continued success and fast-paced growth in its Burner Balm lip balm product division. Burner Balm, a natural lip balm that claims to boost energy, suppress hunger and burn fat, recently came into the dietary, energy drink and lip balm arena. The product line is turning heads worldwide with orders coming in from as far away as the Czech Republic, Ireland and Great Britain.
Recently reported by ABC 7 News in Los Angeles, many of the competitors in the lip gloss arena have come under fire about the effects of their newly developed weight loss lip gloss products because of lack of ingestion of the dietary ingredients. The physicians that were involved in the development of Burner Balm fire back with facts about the statements being made. "Due to the number of blood vessels on the lips, product extracts are more easily absorbed than one might think," explains co-developer Dr. David Toomey. Blood vessel absorption coupled with our tasty formula leads to ingestion which gives Burner Balm a double impact and an edge over other products that are currently out there." “Burner Balm is producing results,” explains (PSH) Vice President Joey Valvo.
"We are receiving calls and emails from satisfied customers worldwide, our products are different than the lip glosses, they are very gratifying to the taste buds and have a really flavorful aroma, which means ingestion of the product as well as absorption into the bloodstream." Dr. Allan Kurtz, lead developer and co-founder of Burner Balm tells a convincing story of how Burner Balm works. "When Burner Balm is used as directed (placed on your lips four to six times daily), the product will energize you while simultaneously curbing your appetite. The science behind the product is simple, Green Tea, Hoodia, Chromium Picolinate & Caffeine have all been proven for many years to be effective as dietary supplements. When these ingredients are blended together as extracts into our flavored lip balm they become not only absorbed into the blood stream through the lips’ blood vessels but also become ingestible. Meaning, when you place any of our deliciously flavored Burner Balm lip balm products on your lips, the flavor and aroma is a natural attraction for you to lick and taste, thus ingestion of the extracts occurs with taste while simultaneously absorbing through the lips’ blood vessels, which leads to boosted energy and appetite suppression. Exercising while using Burner Balm can also lead to fat reduction, as Chromium Picolinate has also been proven to help your body burn fat and carbohydrates." "Fuze, Guilt Free, and Huge Lips Skinny Hips lip glosses might just work after all," says Vice President Joey Valvo. "According to our research, which is extensive, the average woman consumes anywhere from four to seven pounds of lip products in a lifetime, which refutes any statement made about ingestion. We applaud the makers of these lip gloss products; an affordable way to curb your appetite while looking your best." These lip gloss products don't compete in the same arena as the Burner Balm lip balm product line up.
Lip gloss is for women, lip balm is for everyone and at $5.99 for each lip balm, it's no wonder Burner Balm is causing such a stir worldwide. You can find Burner Balm Lip balm at www.burnerbalm.com.
