SWELL® is a patent-pending, ultra-pure superabsorbent hydrogel that has the remarkable ability to absorb 500 to 1,000 times its weight in water in the stomach in just a few minutes.* SWELL® microbeads are made from a proprietary polyacrylate hydrogel developed for use as a temporary pre-meal gastric bulking agent.* These materials have been "generally recognized as safe" for many years and have been used in a wide variety of FDA-approved applications.*
SWELL® is entirely bio-inert, non-toxic, and non- absorbable and is manufactured to meet the same standards for purity that is required for pharmaceutical products.*
Whenever you see the "SWELL® Inside" logo, you can be confident of the quality, integrity and purity of the product.
CLINICALLY PROVEN:
A promising multi-center clinical trial that evaluated 30 overweight volunteers at four physician-managed weight loss clinics was recently completed on SWELL. While not definitive, the study’s results demonstrated that the technology enabled the participants to comfortably reduce meal portions by an average of 34% and documented steady progressive weight loss averaging 7.6 pounds over the 4 week study period - without any significant side effects being reported. Additional studies are being planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SWELL in adolescent children and adults with Type-2 Diabetes.

"We are Literally Eating Ourselves to Death..."
Eating is the most basic of all physiologic needs and obtaining food is a fundamental driving force in all societies. For thousands of years people throughout the world have centered their cultures and focused their ambitions on the acquisition of land for the growing of crops, the herding of livestock and the raising of food. Modern technology has advanced food production to levels of abundance never seen before. For the first time in human history, food is plentiful and readily available for most people. This recent excess has led to the explosion of a critical global health issue - obesity.
What was once perceived as only an American phenomenon, widespread obesity and excessive weight gain have become a global pandemic. Data recently published by the World Health Organization estimates that in 2007, 1.6 billion people (one in four) were overweight or obese. Two hundred million of these were children. Modern societies are being crippled with the associated costs of overburdened healthcare systems that are crumbling beneath the weight of out-of-control medical costs associated with managing the numerous life-threatening and often fatal diseases associated with excessive weight. Type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, stroke, hypertension, age-related eye diseases, along with heart, liver and kidney disease are significantly prevalent co-morbid conditions that plague this population. It is time to for each of us to realize the real price that we are paying when we order a "supersize" meal, and what this practice is doing to our society
Even though thousands of products are on the market to assist overweight and obese people to lose and manage their weight; the issue of hunger remains an unsolved issue for most calorie-restricted diets and weight loss plans. Despite the best of intentions, the "battle of the bulge" is rarely won. The seeds of defeat lay in the fact that weight control is regulated by overlapping hormonal systems that are dedicated to preserving our weight. In addition, calorie restriction causes "hunger" pains, headaches, nausea and other deprivation symptoms which are often so severe that it becomes nearly impossible for most dieting persons to control their urge to eat through the sheer exercise of their willpower alone.
The issue is clear; how do we reduce our caloric intake to lose weight and minimize the residual hunger which leads to a relapse of overeating?
The increased portion size, foods with empty calories, micronutrient deficiencies, and lack of daily exercise play major roles in the causes of obesity and the growing prevalence of degenerative disease. Higher body weights are also associated with increases in all-cause mortality. Obesity substantially increases the risk of developing: a) macula degeneration; b) diabetic retinopathy; c) glaucoma; d)hypertension; e) hypercholesterolemia; f) type 2 diabetes; g) coronary heart disease; h) stroke; i) gallbladder disease; j) osteoarthritis; k) sleep apnea; l) respiratory problems; and many forms of cancer, including endometrial, breast, prostate, and color cancers.
Time for a Change
Now is the time for a change. A good start would include:
1. Switching to eating a low calorie nutrient-dense, whole food diet
2. Getting Regular Exercise
These two changes will dramatically increase our chances of aging in a way that will allow us to enjoy the quality of our lives for many added years of pleasure.
