Apple cider vinegar bas been used in the treatment of arthritis, asth-
ma, constipation ‘and obesity. It is rich in potassium, which neutralizes
exress sodium from the body and releases trapped fluids. Combined
with Lecithin, a well known fat-buster, and Kelp, which is rich in
trace minerals and iodine, this natural formula combats the problem of

with the added benefits of more energy.
